YESTERDAY'S FLOWERS Lookbook by Planet Blue

I'm trying to decide what I LOVE the most about this Planet Blue Lookbook. I think the first thing is the gypsy style of it. So young, wild and free. Look at the pink and blue colored hair, it never looked so cool. Notice how the geometric shapes complete the pictures in a way that makes them even more original. I also love how the pictures are bright and beautiful. And now the clothes. I WANT THEM ALL. Seriously. I think all of them are perfect for what's left of Summer and the colors are mixed in the most perfect way. Purple, bordeaux, pink, all shades of blue, white, so beautiful. Everything is so perfectly mached. But what I love the most about this lookbook is the jewelry! Isn't everything to die for? The pieces are from Rejoice The Hands and I already feel like buying the entire store. And you, what do you love the most about this lookbook? Don't forget to visit Planet Blue's site HERE.

Three years of THE TEENAGE ROYALTY

Three years ago I created The Teenage Royalty with the purpose to show my readers what was happening inside Young Hollywood, the new faces that were starting to become famous and to share a bit of my writing and the things that I liked the most. Therefore its name, The Teenage Royalty. Today, my personal corner has become one of the things that I’m most proud of. Through out these three years, I've become a bolder person, wiser, more interested in the world surrounding me concerning my three main interests: fashion, music and art. So, now, I feel capable of talking about the three of them and sharing my own opinions and understanding what others think.

Three years ago I never thought I would be standing where I am today concerning my blog. This space has become a friend to me, where I can write and spend my time exploring my personal interests and also learning. Besides, many things that I never though would happen when I created this blog became a reality to me. I have been featured in a national magazine. I've been invited to so many cool events. I’m now sponsored by one of the most amazing make-up brands in the entire world and a clothing line that I love so much. I've had the best time of my life participating on Bloggers Battle and at Fashion Awards, not to mention several Fashion Weeks which happens to be one of the most hectic times of my year. But, most of all, I've met lots of people who were always really nice to me and supported my endeavors not matter what. Some of them became my friends and we always have an amazing time together. That’s one of my favorite parts, meeting new people who share the same interests as me. The human part is my favorite, to attend fashion shows and events where you see faces that you don’t see anywhere else.

But none of this could have happened without you. You are the main reason why I do this (almost) everyday. To know that there are people that like to read what I write and that comment and tell me there opinions is the coolest thing about blogging. So I owe you a special thank you Teens. You’ve been beyond amazing with me, supporting me in everything. Thank you for the time you spend here everyday, that’s an honor to me. And thank you for helping me getting where I stand today. None of this would have been possible without you.

I’m curious to know where this blog will lead me throughout this next year. And I hope you are curious too. Will you come on this trip with me? I hope so.

THE ROCK ISSUE

One of my biggest inspirations, besides PopArt and Tumblr, is definetely music. I love how music can inspire an entire look and how it influences you when you're dressing up. Some types of music remind us of some kind of outfit, or some kind of mixture of clothes. I'm not one of the biggest rock fans. At all. I'd rather listen to some pop, reggae or dancehall. But there are some classic bands that have a legacy that will live on, such has AC/DC, Kiss, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Pink Floid and so many more, which sound reminds me of a type of style that I try to encorporate everday in my outfit. And rock music, to me (this is just my opinion) reminds me of black clothing, studds, boots, dark lips, leather jackets, messy hair, Wayfarers and high waisted shorts. And, when I say rock music, I mean heavy rock, with lots of electric guitars and drumming! I don't listen to rock music in my daily life. But, once I hear any of the songs above, I feel like putting on a rocker look like a leather jacket, my dark red lipstick, a pair a studded boots and some denim, like in a shirt. It's cool how music can inspire you and how it reflects on your outfit. Isn't that true that, when you see someone with a certain type of clothes, you can totally guess what their listening too? Well, don't get me wrong, even if I would look like a rocker chick, you know that I would still be listening to my one and only Rihanna ahah. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that rock music from the 60's and 70's transport me to a certain type of fashion that I like and that I think everyone also tries to reproduce. I mean, a leather jacket is an item that everyone should have (it's intemporal), high waited shorts is one key item in every girls' closet  and studds are taking over the world. Thank God.

streetstyle inspiration

For me fashion has a really special meaning. It is something I need. Something I crave. Something I want to feel around me. It's not just being well dressed or presentable. It's creating yourself through clothes. Communicating with others. Feeling good and, at the same time, being yourself. The fashion world might be compared to a complete circus sometimes. It might be extravagant sometimes but there's a border between that and being ridiculous. But what is being ridiculous anyway? Who am I to judge if what you're wearing is ridiculous or not? I mean, if your feel good with what you're wearing, why should I judge you? Apart from that, fashion for me is the mixture of textures. The way you create your outfits and become an individual. The way you mix colors, patterns. It's the way you express yourself and feel comfortable in your own skin. I have to be honest, I have a very particular taste, since one of my biggest inspirations is Pop Art. Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein are my muses and my Art Gods. My favorite colors are red, blue, white and black. I love long skirts, denim, statement t-shirts and everything that's studded. I am already seeing military style all over the place and I can't help but hating it. I don't know, probably that's because I'm not a big fan of green. But what I mean is that I may don't follow what everybody wears or "what's fashionable" but, at least, I feel comfortable in my own skin. I like to be edgy sometimes, but I can be low profile aswell. The important thing is to find a balance. I also love some things that "everybody has", such as earings, necklaces and rings with crosses. But, for example, Jeffrey Campbell boots weren't just made for me. I actually hate them. I prefer loafers and mocassins. In the end, I believe you're supposed to wear what reflects your personality the best way has possible and you have to be true to yourself. You're an unique person. Don't forget that. Being fashionable doesn't mean you have to wear what everybody is wearing. It means finding yourself and believing that, when you walk out the door, you feel good in your own skin. Isn't that right?
