Hair Inspiration!

A Quick Note~

Hey everyone!~!

This is just a quick note to apologize for the fact that I'll be quite backed up for the next little while. I've just hit exam week and so I'll be busy studying - or at least trying to ;) Keep on smiling, and I'll post whenever I can! Stay inspired :) xx 

Fashion Inspiration #3

I've got yet another look for you guys! If you have yet to tell, I adore skirts and now that it's warmer I can't help but wear my jean jacket all the time, hehe. For this outfit, I've paired the same white crochet tank top from H&M that I wrote in OOTD #1, and also from H&M I am wearing a wine red skater skirt paired with just some plain black leggings. Over top, I, of course, have my jean jacket along with a light black and white patterned infinity scarf from Dynamite. Pair the look with any pair of shoes or boots you like! You can't see, but I chose a pair of my favourite combat boots. Hope you like the look! Stay classy :) xx

Successful vs. Unsuccessful

Know the difference between a successful person and an unsuccessful person:

#OOTD - Fashion Inspiration 2

Here's the OOTD, as promised!!

For today's outfit, a bright warm day gave me reason to pull out the ol' jean jacket! It's my light washed, studded jacket from Forever 21. Underneath it, I've worn a thin tank top of my favourite band (Two Door Cinema Club) purchased from Etsy. I have just a simple black pair of leggings from TNA, and as for boots I have my studded brown combat boots from H&M with a grey pair of leg warmers. For an added touch, I threw on some purply pink lipstick from Anabelle & braided front pieces of my hair from both sides back!

Hope you like it xx

Xoxo,

Long Time No See...

Hello all,

It's been a few days, I know -- getting the slightest bit swamped as final exam season is just around the corner. I understand that you guys may be getting swamped yourselves, so here is something to brighten up your day:

So be grateful, everyone! Love yourselves and each other <3

Xoxo,
Alina

P.S. I'll hopefully be posting an #OOTD later tonight! It's finally getting sunnier & warmer ^^
P.S.S. Having trouble staying happy?? Just find something you love to keep yourself busy. Recently I've started drawing again - something I'm not the best at, but nonetheless love. It takes away time from being miserable and of course, in the end, leaves me so much happier!! Stay happy xx

Personal: Just Keep Swimming!

Bear with me, this is going to get a little personal... but here goes!

I want you all to smile. Anyone reading this - even if it's just one person - I want you to smile, and to be happy. I want you to appreciate everything in life, and I want you to know that there's always a reason to smile. I know that's things don't always go the way we want them to, and sometimes we become the kind of person that we'd never thought we'd be. But it's okay. Change is okay. Don't ever give up.

It's been a while that I've been suffering from anxiety and depression now, but I refuse to let it get me down. Don't you get sick of those tired, restless nights, letting your thoughts take over and haunt you? I want to be the one in control, I want to manage my thoughts so that they don't kill me.

Saying all this makes me sound all high and mighty, and suggests that I'm much stronger than I am, but I'm writing this for me as much as I'm writing it for you. I want us both to be happy.

I find myself constantly thinking negatively, with low self-esteem, frequent social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, comparing myself to others and feeling jealous.. I want it all to stop. For me and for any of you that feel the same way. Let's get inspired together, and let's make a change.

Three things I am grateful for:
- My parents
- Making it this far
- Friends

Your turn. Keep on swimming, kiddo!

Xoxo,
Alina
