Rose Girl






dress+ shoes: thrifted|tote c.o souve|bracelet c.o hippe hebbdingjetes

Just nobody tell my neighbors I touched their roses, ok?

or their grass.

They'll go stark bonking raving mad. 

I mean, as much as they can without talking to me or looking directly at me.

but gosh aren't their roses pretty?

I feel like they secretly feed them pixie dust or something.

Pretty flowers make me really happy. 
And so does this dress and my space buns and my really comfy clogs (not crocs, never crocs) and my brilliant tote which I always have to explain to people but that's ok because I'm just happy

I like that clothes have that power. You put them on, and you just feel. 

god that sounded so tumblr but whateverrrrr


Whats new with you guys? I feel like we should be having better conversations or something. 

Let's go get a milkshake. 
Or, y'know, I can go get a milkshake and instagram it and you can visually enjoy it.

 21st century technology y'all.

xx,
Justina

Pink Lay



 sweater*asos| watch*casio via asos|shoes*c.o lulu*s|clutch*c.o alexandra king

 I don't like flatlays.

You may find this curious, as I have just posted one,
 but I just always felt like clothes look better on people than they do on sheets.

However.

In flatlays, you are able to just put all the pretty things together without 
worrying about bothersome things like pants. 

In flatlay land, an outfit can just be a sweater and gorgeous accessories.
 (that's really how it ought to be everywhere)

My clutch is my baby, as evidenced by the amount of photos of it I posted to various social media oulets last night along with the line "Who needs children when you can have beautiful clothes?".

Valentino feels me brah

I absolutely adore my new watch. It's just. so. pink.

My mum saw it and said "We had those in the 90's"

Which basically means I'm totally on trend, right?

Right.

This sweater is softer than a llama butt. 

I can vouch for that first hand. 

literally.

I got 99 problems but not having ever touched a llama butt ain't one. 

xx,
Justina

California Snow






#teenvogue
 top: c.o dame jolie|overalls: thrifted| necklace: c.o wonderland wishes

 If you got all excited because you thought you were going to see photos of snow in the valley...no

If you actually think it snows in the valley,
 I should ask you if you've seen my unicorn wandering around.

I named this post such because I felt like if Snow White had been really California, this is how she would have dressed instead of that silly and impractical dress she would insist on living in.

I know, two posts in a row with the overalls, but you know what? 
They're so fabulous I don't give a dwarf.

See what I did there?

I feel so much love for this shirt. It's actually a vintage piece that was clearly meant for a small child due to it's strange shortness, but I dress like a small child so broken rules.

  It looks a bit like a dirndl, so I channeled my German roots (Do not say Heidi, Heidi is SWISS, not German) and yodeled during this shoot.
 Justina's Got Talent, anyone?
 
 Per a request, I made a bit of a film-ish type deal for this look. Got a bit artsy too.
Nothing says artsy like Lana Del Rey.

Ok, gotta go round up my dwarves and unicorn.

The unicorns' name is Maxine.

Just incase you were interested.

xx,

Justina

ps. who is your favorite Disney princess?

I call dibs on Rapunzel.

I told y'all she wouldn't leave us for good.

We Need To Talk About Kiernan


 images c.o. us.asos.com


 
We all just need to take a moment and talk about Kiernan Shipka.  

These photos of her from ASOS Magazine's prom section popped into my world, I started the new season of Mad Men, and I just felt like the time was right for me to announce my love. 

I want to be her, but I also wish she was my little sister/best friend/guru. 

I mean, she gets to "work" with Christina Hendricks, on a tv show you know you spend too much time watching, and her "costumes" come out of a closet that is basically my version of Narnia.

 Don't even get me started on her wardrobe. Just look. 

It's like my closet on sugar and glitter.

well, more sugar and glitter. 

She's basically our generations saving fashion icon. 

and she has a tumblr.

xx,
Justina

How to be as cool as Coachella



 img from vogue. duh.

How to be as cool as Coachella:

1. Your favorite dead people don't stay dead. 
Bring them back for the best three minutes of everyones life.

2. War paint is the new makeup. But it has to be neon.

3. Make sure people plan their wardrobes for weeks before they come see you.

4. Listen to indie artists no one has ever heard of, 
because they're cooler than they will be once you've listened to them.

5. Bring in celebrities and models, and make sure everyone pretends they're just normal people
What's up Rihanna, want a french fry?

How to be cooler than Coachella:

1. Don't sell out before Justina gets a wristband.


There you go.

You're welcome.

xx,
Justina

Floral Over All














#teenvogue 
overalls: thrifted|sweater:c/o miss magiba| boots: dr.martens
I have short overalls. 
This makes me Australian, right?

I was way more excited about finding these than is acceptable, but you know what?
they're really freaking awesome.

Remeber my pockets rant?

I HAVE POCKETS NOW.

So happy.

It just went perfectly with my favorite floral sweater. 
I made hobo-chic a thing with this sweater, now I'm making soft-grunge-Australian-farmer a thing.

MY DOCS.

I really don't need to say anything else about them.
That last photo is from today's photo shoot with the newest member of my crew, Arianna.
 We were both wearing docs, we were both wearing sunglasses, a photo had to be taken. 

But we didn't stop at one. 

I have a album full of gorgeous shots for another post.

I wanted to say something witty about Australians but I can't think of anything, 
so I'm just going to go look at photos of koalas now. 

xx,
Justina

GIMME A S-E-Q-U-I-N










#teenvogue dress: asos via teen vogue| sneakers: c/o sketchers| sunnies:c/o zerouv



Oh Justina, your so sequiny, your so sequiny, you blow my mind, hey Justina, hey-hey Justina!

Dude, I LOVE this dress.

Which is why I'm showing it to you a month before my (version of a) prom.

I just heard you gasp.

Yes, it is not a ballgown.

 Yes, it is in no way typical prom attire.
  
But you guys: sequins and neon pink.

Sometimes a girls gotta take a leap.

ok, this wasn't that much of a leap for me, but you get my point.

It's perfect. I feel like Fat Amy if she were a cheerleader. But better.

That good.

The sneakers just top it off.
Or rather lift me up, sneaky wedges. 
I was a bit hesitant when I first checked them out, but look how pretty they are!

Super comfortable too, which we all know is priority.

Whenever I wear this outfit, I feel like I should belt out "Hey Mickey" a la Pitch Perfect.
Overall, this outfit is just aca-awesome.

I think I could go on like this forever.

Hmmmm..better not.

xx,
Justina

In The Photobooth






 You guys are so much cooler than I am.

Like, it takes me ageeesssss to get a good photograph. 
Then I say "Send me a selfie.", and you guys represented *snaps* fast. 



 SO MANY GORGEOUS PHOTOS.

I'm 100% sure you guys are the prettiest readership around.
suck on that Chiara Ferragni

 I know I said I'd choose my favorites, 
but I couldn't because I'm indecisive ok I can't even choose one pair of shoes a day



 So I gave y'all a page. That's right. Click here to see the click clicks.

Nobody's as cool as my crew.

xx,
Justina
