fun inspiration :)

 

I figure if I just stay true to myself and I am the Whitney that I've always been, people will look at me not as Whitney from the show, but as a human being.

my autumn wardrobe wishlist

so autumn is on it's way, and that means more time for fashion! here are some of the things i love for next season:

this is my current favourite skirt. florals can work for autumn too!

bright blazers are my new obsession.

 FLORAL JEANS! who invented them?

this t-shirt was sooooooo made for me!

so vintage chic! there is isn't much else to say about this dress.

sh-sh-sh-shake it up

okay, i have too post about the style on my new favourite TV programme, shake it up. i used to consider myself way past the Disney channel stage, but this programme is AMAZING....

the main characters are rocky and Cece,and i love there fashion. Cece is an indie girl with an eclectic style, and all Rocky's outfits are girly and colourful. here's some pictures...

i love the red socks and blue jeans on this picture! not sure about Cece's jacket though, but i do love her denim shorts. although it's so cold this summer you can't wear shorts!

i love how this waistcoat is worn over the sequined top! the hat adds a unique twist to the outfit, and that it goes with the t-shirt. very tribal!

i have serious blazer envy.

love these acid wash jeans. who knew they looked so good with a skirt?
