Took some good pics, rep'd our New Design "Such Small Hands" designed by Alisha Murray! Who if you haven't checked out her work yet creep it HERE! And we got to shoot some fun behind the scenes action and collaborated with one of our favorite songs by our boys in Lake Effect! Check out the video here !

Hart Lines is a flagship event of the Red Bull Signature Series. Make sure you come out this weekend and check it out!

This wks music Mondays post we decided to rock the newest music video from our Boys in We Came As Romans. This solid anthemic ballad is saturated with nostalgia and like the titles says: Memories. Shot during warped tour last summer, we were there to witness some of these good times! So witness these moments for yourself!
Its always sad news to hear when bands thrown in the towel. Especially when they are bands that have done the hard work, years of elbow grease, and labored in all the right ways. Our hats off to the Boys Of Fall dudes. We feel like these dudes gave it their best shot and they are off to bigger and better things. Nothing but love for these dude and how they have handled this exit.
Check this farewell statement
It's with the heaviest of hearts that today, we announce the end of Boys of Fall. This is one of the toughest decisions we as individuals have ever had to make, but over the last few months, it became clear that this was the right decision for all of us to move forward with.
Instead of drawing things out, we want our fans and everyone who supports us to know three things:
1. We LOVE you.
2. We held on to this as long as we could, not for us, but for YOU, our fans.
3. We will never forget the time we could all share together, and it was all possible because of you and your support.
It seems like everywhere we went, be it Oklahoma City, Monterrey Mexico, Lexington, KY or right at home in Detroit, someone would travel a long distance just to meet us and see us play because they had heard of us through a friend, through Johnny Franck or through Jarrod Alonge. That connection we had with you all inspired us and was the reason we held on for so long. We met so many beautiful people, learned so many lessons and saw so many things just because some people liked singing along with our music and like this little band of ours, and we think that's pretty cool.
We won't go in to detail as to why things fell apart the way they did, and please know that our bond as bandmates is as strong as it has ever been. This decision is not due to any internal conflict with us as band members and if you've ever met us or have seen us together before, you know that we are and always will be a family and love each other very very much. Having said that, one of our biggest regrets as a band is not releasing our music when we should have. We were advised not to release it, and in the end, we feel it was a big mistake. But now that all this is out in the open, we're going out the way we want to, and on our terms. So, we will be releasing a full length album, titled "Thank You & Goodbye." To celebrate this album release, we will be releasing some music videos, one of which you can see below, to support this record, and also will be doing a CD Release / Farewell show at The Crofoot Ballroom on June 10th. (Event page / flyer to be released soon) We want to make this night as special as possible, so please, save the date so we can have one more show together with all of you.
We want to thank the countless supporters and promoters, Jerry at Ricochet management, The Arbor Agency, and our agent Freddy Del Rio for taking a chance on us.
Please check out our new video for our song It's Always Sunny in Arkadelphia, and if you like it, share it.
The pre-order / album release date as well as a few brand new videos will be made available in the coming weeks, so be on the look out for those.
Thank you for making the last 5 years possible. We will never forget you.
"Thank You & Goodbye."
-Mike, Eli, Bean, Jake, Pat.

I really am so happy this year is closing, and a new one will be starting in just a few days! It's been a roller coaster of a year for sure, and I'm definitely happy to have a fresh start.
BEAUTY
I know last month's beauty favorite was red eye shadow looks, so this could be slightly redundant. But recently, I've gotten to use my Kat Von D METAL CRUSH RAW POWER eyeshadow, that I got from Sephora a few months ago, but only used subtly on the eyes. I did this cute red eye for Christmas Eve for work, and for when I went to my girlfriend's family gathering for the holiday as well! I love the way red shadows look on dark eyes, and this eyeshadow is perfect for getting that look! All of Kat Von D's Metal Crush shadows are so gorgeous, but there was something about the red one that when I first saw and swatched it, I knew I would fall in love.
FASHION
I've been really into caps the last couple months! I've bought at least 4 new hats, including the fact that I literally just ordered one while I was writing this post...... ugh. Also, if it's not just buying hats, I've also been very into making basic hats a little cooler, and original by sewing patches onto them! It's a very affordable, easy, and fun way to transform a hat, or anything really, just by adding a patch, or pins!
MUSIC
This one is SO IMPORTANT TO ME. I have been SOOOOO obsessed with Pandora Radio's new THUMBPRINT RADIO!! They added a station, that's basically only songs that you've thumbed up over all the time your account has been made! Thumbprint radio has been the only thing I've been listening to. It's littttttt.
I first initially found Isabel through ShopTunnelVision's page I believe. That was quite awhile ago. I've been seeing her all over the place ever since. This girl has a DOPE style, she's a plus size model, with a beautiful message that she always spreads, about loving yourself. She really is a unique unicorn. I love this girl, seriously. Her Instagram feed is really awesome as well, because she works with companies like ShopTunnelVision, and UNIF!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Yesterday, I was getting my hair cut, with my girlfriend, and when I hopped out of the chair, she said she found this website that she knew I would want everything on. When she showed me what she was talking about, she specifically was on the "Feminista" page, with a million feminist shirts and accessories. Instantly, I was hooked.
"At HUMAN, we believe that every printed object can be a mechanism to declare identity and belonging. We work every day to create compelling clothing, accessories, and home decor for trendsetters and pop culture nerds with a bold sense of humor. Everyone on the HUMAN team has their own unique voice and personality, but we all share in our mission to enable self-expression through exceptional design. Dress Yourself To Express Yourself."
I wish I would have found this website earlier this month, and I would have done a lot of my Christmas shopping from here, because there's really something for just about anybody, on LookHuman! I really just have a general appreciation for witty, funny t shirts, mugs, home decor, and things of that nature, so this website was definitely a really great find on the behalf of Sarah!

Halloween is hands down my favorite holiday of the year, for obvious reason. You get to stuff your face with candy, pumpkin carving, costume makeup, body painting, masks, blood, and seeing all kinds of characters brought to life! I love nothing more than seeing everyones different interpretations of tv show characters old and new, movie villains, and cartoon characters casually roaming the streets, and preforming every day mundane tasks. For me personally, picking a costume out can be really exciting, but also very stressful if you can't figure out what to dress as. Yes you can go to your nearest Halloween store, and just pick something off the wall, but when that's just not enough for you (like myself), sometimes you need some inspiration. But what if you want to go out with your fierce girl gang? GOOD NEWS, I think group costumes are easier to pick, than just individual costumes! So here are some ideas for your girl gang, in different group sizes!
Daria and Jane (2)
If your girl gang is you and your one partner in crime, that's 100% okay! Cheers to you guys! I love Daria and Jane so much, and they're definitely an iconic team. Also what's great about these costumes, is that a lot of it, you can probably find similar pieces in your wardrobe, or even your local thrift store! Once you've got your looks down, go celebrate over some pizza!
The Powerpuff Girls (3)
The Powerpuff Girls show was such a huge part of my childhood, and these girls mean the world to me. Personally, this year I've chosen to take a different approach with my costume, and decided to go as the evil villain "HIM" from this show. I would definitely be helpful to have the whole picture painted if there was a group of girls I knew going as Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup! Maybe I'll find them that day, and at least take a picture with them!
Also, can we just take a second to appreciate the girls below who did a warrior inspired take on the PPGs? I love it.
Adventure Time Princesses (2-limitless)
Adventure Time is my favorite modern day children's show, for it's sometimes dry, and adult humor that gets thrown in there from time to time! I love all of the Princesse characters on the show. Pick a few of your favorites, and do it up with your girls!
Spice Girls (5)
Need I say more? GIRL POWER. 90's style is ridiculously popular right now, and tons of retailers are releasing very 90's inspired clothes left and right! Crop tops, flare jeans, rhinestones, platforms, and scrunchies aren't hard to come by nowadays. But beware, if there are two blondes in your group, get ready for the debate of who should be Baby Spice, and good luck!
American Horror Story: Coven Witches (4-5)
I say 4-5 with this one, because you can decide to just be the student witches, or you can also add in Supreme Fiona Goode. These look REALLY great on just about everyone, because everyone looks amazing in black, and that is a fact. For these looks, just think black black black, pops of white, sheer cut outs, maxi/mid dresses, wide brim/floppy hats, boots, umbrellas, and gloves. You can watch the episodes of this season as inspiration! I'll probably do a look similar to this for one night of Halloween, but I'm trying to figure out if anyone will actually thing I'm in a costume, because this is kind of my aesthetic most of the Fall/Winter seasons.
♡ HAPPY HALLOWEEN ♡

Starting out in 2007, Los Angeles/New York City fashion blogger Eugenie Grey has made her mark on the fashion blogging community, and even further than that. Fashion, food, and travel are the main components of her blog! Since her start in the fashion blogging world, she's definitely taken over, and made a name for herself, having fashion clients such as DKNY, Calvin Klein, H&M, American Apparel, Levi's and Uniqlo! She's a brand consultant for many, a social media manager, and a psychology, and business management student, but her main passion is personal styling, and creative writing!
I think what I love most about Eugenie's style is that she's one of those fashion icons that can go from really put together and chic, to casual and kind of outlandish! She has a illusive and transcendent style, remarkable versatility, and she's definitely not your pedestrian fashion blogger!
