on personal branding

 hi darlings ! ⋆. 𐙚 ˚

this isnt going to be like most of my other posts, but i needed to yap!

personal branding is something ive been thinking about a lot lately. i know that my generation is caught in a cycle of radical indiviualism turning into conformity, but honestly, i think personal branding is important, used the right way!

to get it out of the way, i know there's a line when it comes to creating your brand/aesthetic. i think that line is when it becomes narcissistic, or you obsessively avoid being like others. 

but we're smart, we can avoid that!!

ദ്ദി˙∇˙)ว

i havent fully discovered my personal brand yet, but im getting there. so lets talk about the steps !

────୨ৎ────

step one: what do you actually like?

something i found really helpful was just making a list of things i *actually* love, regardless of the aesthetic. this could be colors, books, movies, places, styles, feelings, anything really!

chances are, you'll find that they go pretty well together! and if not, dont worry. not everything is perfect, and contradiction is what makes someone interesting :)

۶ৎ

step two: who are you?

write five words to describe your personality, or the one you want.  it might be helpful to ask friends during this step! how do you make people feel? are you chill, fun, melancholy, optimistic? 

this is really important for your brand because your personality is who you really are, and you should build your aesthetic around it, not the other way!

۶ৎ

step 3: put it together

now is when you add your favorite things and personality, and make it into a unique, romanticizable vibe.

id recommend taking your favorite color scheme, media, styles, and seeing how they interact! then choose the things you love the most that go well together, and that's your aesthetic.

when this is done, make a moodboard! here's mine, as an example:

i love swans, fashion, teddy bears, and matcha so i built it around that + visuals i like ₊˚⊹ᰔ

۶ৎ

step 4: curate the vibe you give to people

i think its really comforting that you get to choose how others perceive you. that might be toxic. idk.

but i think it can be fun to curate how you speak, how you dress, and just some little things to be who you want to be!

for example, choose some things you'd like to say regularly (catchphrases but not catchphrases, yk?) and maybe make a moodboard for your style! and analyze how you interact in everyday life. 

i hope you already love who you are, but being a little aesthetic sometimes can be fun!

۶ৎ

and thats pretty much it <3 its also really helpful to make a playlist that gives a perfect feeling

bye !! i hope you all have a perfect day <3

my makeup routine ⋆˚࿔

 hi darlings <3

after much trying and failing, i think i've finally perfected my makeup routine.

i dont like makeup that's too heavy, but i still want to feel like a doll every day, yk?

here's the routine that ive come up with, and is still bound to change:

♡step one: concealer

i usually put it under my eyes, between my eyebrows, and on and imperfections

product: covergirl tru blend

♡step two: blush

i love rosy cheeks! i usually blend it upwards high on my cheekbones since it works best for my face shape, as well as some on the bridge of my nose <3

product: elf halo glow blush

♡step three: eyeliner

i like to use a brown liner just in my top and bottom waterlines to lift my eyes

product: LA colors auto eyeliner in black/brown

♡step four: curling + mascara

this is really important!! i usually just curl my top lashes for a few seconds, and then go in with thick mascara to make my eyes pop

products: elf eyelash curler, covergirl professional 3-in-1 mascara

♡step five: highlighter

i dont use much, just in the corner of my eyes and the tip of my nose to catch some pretty light :)

product: elf halo glow champagne highlighter

♡step six: lip combo

the best part of my routine! i first use a beige lip liner and overline just the middle of the bottom lip and my cupid's bow, and then i use a different lip gloss depending on the season. for fall im using the rhode espresso lip peptide!

products: elf cream glide lip liner in baddest beige, rhode lip peptide in espresso

and thats it! i have a deep love for drugstore makeup <3 kind of boring post, but it was fun for me lol!

have a great day/night!

last-minute halloween costume inspo !

 hi divas !

so i know this is kind of late, but i also know that some of you don't have a costume planned yet...how tragic!

here are some of my favorite halloween costumes to try if you're feeling uninspired:

˚.⋆꒰১ Angel ໒꒱⋆.˚

this is actually what i plan to go as! a bit basic i know but...its my namesake <3 i think a really cool variation would be some sort of fallen angel, though! perhaps based on the beautiful painting!

lana del freaking rey 𐙚 ‧₊˚ ⋅

obviously...this is such a cute costume idea bc shes soo pretty and also beautifully tragic <3 everyone does the lust for life costume, but if you want to spice it up a bit id recommend the ultraviolence dress or a met gala-inspired look. her and jeremy would be a cute couples costume <3

 black / white swan ♡₊˚🦢‧☼⋆

ok i know this is everywhere online, but i just think its so cute ! its a great duo costume and its a good horror movie reference. plus its easy to recreate !

karen / any mean girls halloween costume ﾒ𝟶ﾒ𝟶

this is so cute because its a recreation of a famous halloween costume! if you dont want to be a mouse (duh) you could go as regina's bunny or cady's zombie bride...just prepare for a few sideways looks

marie antoinette 𐙚 ˚🍰 ⋆｡˚ ᡣ𐭩

i might be biased because this is one of my favorite movies, but i just think these costumes are so cool! the color scheme is so lush and it looks so fun to pull up to a party in a costume like this. better hope they serve cake !

mime ⋆˚꩜｡

i like this one because its not seen a lot! it feels very halloween-y to me, plus its easy to make, and youll have fun doing the makeup ^^

deer/fawn ⋆. 𐂂 ˚

last but not least, a beautiful fawn :) i think this one is so precious and whimsical. you could style it with clothes you already have and some cutesy ears, and boom! youre the sweetest thing on earth!

thats it! let me know what you're planning to go as for halloween !

they had a beautiful trail to walk through, they leaves were so pretty and aesthetic ! 

the place we went to was apparently really popular for their cider, and it was sooo good. kairi got cold cider which is weird ngl. 

we warmed up in their store and i obviously had to hit up the candle section and we got this very cute photo <3 my hair was too big all day though :((

they had a hugee corn maze which was really fun ! we actually got out pretty fast too lol !

kairi's the one that got us out, mostly by just turning to avoid people...

me being confused :)

we got this cute photo we saw on pinterest once ! holy unflattering though-

we ended the day at an italian restaurant and got TIRAMISU !!! i was so happy and it was soo yum •𐃷•

and i think that was it !! it was such a good day, im so glad i spent it with kairi!

finally made one of these !

my guide to the most whimsical girly pretty cinematic sleepover ever ₊˚⊹ᰔ

 did i use enough adjectives?

hello dolls! since its getting to be cozy season, and i miss my friends SO MUCH, lets plan the cutest sleepover imaginable!

of course, the key to any sleepover is good friends, but i think keeping them entertained will ensure a good time ₊˚⊹♡

part one: the outfits

outfits are the best way to romanticize anything in life. i recommend cozy, matching pajamas (pre-sleepover shopping trip anyone?) and and cute day look for when you come/leave

heres some inspo if youre stuck on ideas!

part two: activities

this is where i get stuck a lot, but not to worry, i have a list! 

here are some cutesy activities to do with your friends on a cozy night:

♡ baking - cinnamon rolls and cookies are sooo yum

♡ self care - face masks, nail painting, etc!

♡ watching movies or tv - movies like jennifers body, mean girls, legally blonde or anything y2k...shows like gilmore girls, pretty little liars, or sitcoms are fun too!

♡ photoshoots - me and my friends love these! get inspo from pinterest xx

♡ play board/video games - games like animal crossing and stardew valley are really cute, or standard physical games like poker or scrabble are fun!

♡ prank calls - i know its bad, but its so good...dont be mean, sometimes my friends just like to ask normal questions to places far away lmao, if youre scared of getting caught!

♡ sharing music - take turns sharing your favorite songs, cds, records, or make a playlist together!

part three: the atmosphere

nothing ruins a sleepover faster than a creepy basement or plain room, jazz it up a bit!

i recommend turning the big lights off, adding fairy lights or candles, playing music, assorting your games/snacks/makeup, making your beds cozy, just everything you can think of <3

some room inspo:

alrr thats all i got, thanks for reading angels and have a great time! (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ
