My Style

~ Brooke F. ~ 6 Comments

Hello my lovely readers! Hope you had a wonderful Easter!

It has come to my attention that it has been a hot minute since I’ve done a fun personal post. And it came to me that it might be fun to do a little personal style overview. I enjoy cute clothes and thrifting so this post is right up my alley. So, enjoy this post as I show you the various aspects of my personal tastes in fashion.

School

First off, one of the most important things to me when it comes to clothes is that they’re comfy. I am a college student who spends a lot of time on campus and I refuse to spend that time being itchy or uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the sheer amount that I’m on campus can get in the way of some of the outfits I wish I would wear. Sure, I love the way heels look in this skirt but do I want to tromp around in them for SIX HOURS??? I think not. (Four hours is my limit).

As a result, most of my school outfits consists of a comfy sweater, some jeans and converse. Oh, and lots of cardigans. If I feel real cute I may wear a skirt instead of jeans. And if its a little too hot to wear a full on sweater, I’ll wear a classy, collared button up.

Comfy

Yes, I wear matching pajama sets. They make me happy.

Out to Coffee

We can get a little more fun a creative here. I have a few artsy outfits, a few “edgier” ones (for lack of a better term), plus a few “cottage core” style ones and I adore them all. Really its just a little bit of everything. As much as I wish I could stick to one style I find myself unable to do so as I enjoy them all so very much. I tend to lean into the artsier side of things more than anything but even that’s not a set rule. I wear a lot of blue and black. But again, this isn’t a set rule either.

What I Wish I Wore

Not gonna lie, I wish I had the money to really lean into the artsy, van gogh-esque aesthetic but at the end of the day, I wonder if even if I did, would I really stick to it? Not gonna lie, probably not.

And… yeah! That concludes my fashion overview! Feel free to leave your thoughts down below? What’s your taste in clothing?

A Big Fat Announcement

~ Brooke F. ~ 28 Comments

Hello, ladies and gents! I’ve got a fun little announcement that admittedly has absolutely nothing to do with writing prompts or tips. But I’m obviously going to share it anyways (why else would I be typing this post?). I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this on my blog before but I make jewelry. A lot of it. It started as a stress relief activity during my junior year of high school and SURPRISE! Life continues to get stressful so I’ve been enjoying this hobby for almost three years now? Maybe more… anyways, that’s besides the point. What is the point is-

I have a fricken etsy shop.

Angsty Little Cupcake’s designs, named after my personal Instagram handle. It’s a project that I’m going at with my sister and I’d love to show you some of the stuff we’ve made…

Most pieces have a sort of fantasy/cottage core theme. My personal favorites are the fairy wings and the mushrooms. So if you want to sneak a peak at these pieces or buy one, feel free! I’ll be nice and give you the link: click here

Feel free to spread it around as it’s not a secret! *whispers* Or is it?

Alrighty! I have homework to do so I’ll see you lovelies later! Thanks for getting this far in my post! I hope to see you around!
