I want more fans

You want more stage

{Some pictures from the sleepover. Only managed to take pictures with one of the girls. Haha.}

Hello all! This year, I made the decision to start a "fashion blog." So far, I've met so many lovely people and honestly, I can't wait to meet more! Thank you to all who follow me & to everyone who has taken the time to read & comment on my blog! It means the world!

In case you haven't noticed I cleaned up my blog by moving my old posts (that are non-fashion & sewing related) to another blog! If you have any more comments or suggestions for my blog you'd maybe like to fill out this quick survey? It's very much appreciated! Anyway, I thought I'd do a quick re-cap of "Kenzie Faith" 2010.

Since I started my blog I...
- Started Sewing lessons - Signed up for Chictopia - Posted my first outfit post - Signed up for Twitter - Celebrated my birthday (Got my camera!) - Got accepted to participate in Teen Vogue's Fashion Click site - Had my first round of guest bloggers post for me - Had my first giveaway! (You still have untill Jan. 10th to enter!) - Was in a Teen Vogue article - Recorded my first vlog : )

We're growing apart

but we pull it together

{shirt & skirt: f21, ring: century 21}

Hello! I'm going to start out this post saying, I did my eyebrows! I knew I wouldn't last too much longer. Because of last time, I decided I would not get them waxed -- I'd do them myself. It was a little nerve wracking. Buuut whatevaaa. I did them. & I'm kind of pleased with how they turned out. Just thought I'd let you all know since you knew they were driving me insane ;)

If you didn't already know, this year NC experienced a historic Christmas Day snowfall. It was snowing in 100 counties - Some up to 18 inches!! Outrageous. I believe my town only got 6 or so inches, and it's already melting! Kind of upsetting since I've wanted it for so long. It seemed like every blog I read had outfit posts involving snow.. I was so jealous! Luckily I got to take some pictures in the snow on Sunday. Wish I would have taken more.. It was seriously beautiful.

Tomorrow night I'm having a little youth get together at my house! The girls are spending the night afterward.. I'm pretty stoked. We haven't had a sleepover in so long & I think it's much needed. It's going to be so much fuuuun! I'll probably post a bunch of pictures.. Hopefully!

Oh you treat me badly

I love you madly.. You really got a hold on me

{shirt & skirt: f21, tights: khols, boots: dsw}

Hello all! I hope each and every one of you had an aaaamazing Christmas! I can't wait to read your posts : )

Basically everything I'm wearing today (besides my skirt) I got for Christmas. This shirt is so my favorite.. it's a little baggy but it's still super cute. And these tights?! OMG. I love sparkly tights! And what about these boots? They're pretty cute, right? I'm so picky when it comes to the "combat boot" trend.. So my mom was so sure that I wouldn't like these - But I did! I love love love them. I had a really good Christmas. I can't wait to show you the rest of my gifts!

Thank you to all who filled out this survey! If you haven't already - I'd reeeally appreciate it if you did! I want my blog to be something you all enjoy reading :)

VLOGGITY VLOG VLOG

Don't laugh too hard at my awkward vlog because it's my veeeery first one. I get really nervous taking videos apparently? Kinda weird talking to myself I suppose. So yeah, I talked WAY too fast. I hope you can understand me! & the ending is super awkward because I started to say, "Happy Holidays!" But decided "Merry Christmas!" Sounded way better. Hahaha. I need to learn how to edit videos. :)

{Shirt: H&M, Skirt & Tights: F21, Purse: Guess}

Ugh. Lately, I've had seriously the worst time editing pictures and tonight was no exception! To add to that, I couldn't take a good picture to save my life. I think I must have taken 200+ photos! Outrageous. I finally just threw my hair in a topknot (Which failed.. Don't you hate it when it looks cute when you don't care, and then when you do care it WILL NOT cooperate?!) UGH. I was so done. But I really liked this outfit & I wanted to document it.. So.. I would not give up, even though it did not photograph well at all! Haha. Here they are - unedited!

If you follow me on twitter, you'd know that I just went to Verizon tonight & pre-ordered an iPhone! I'm supaaaa excited. I really wanted a blackberry (because I like how they look) but, I heard a lot of negative feedback, so - iPhone it is!

{numbers are to the left of the item - click picture for links}

I didn't really ask for anything this Christmas. But if I did, I would ask for these things!
1. An iPhone (I made this before I pre-ordered one, ha!) 2. Wreck this journal 3. Ray-bans 4. Fur vest 5. Burnt orange skirt (Anything burnt orange, really!) 6. Green Blazer 7. Justin Vernon CD <3 8. Instax mini 9. UO Backpack 10. Bomber Jacket (I have a Walmart one that's just not cutting it!!) 11. Boots (I've been on a search for the perfect pair for like.. ever!) 12. Deer sweater (Anything with a deer's face on it, really!) 13. Teen Vogue Handbook

What's on your Christmas wish-list? :)

Teen Vogue

I was kind of excited when I saw this on Teen Vogue! My broken umbrella really makes the picture. Hahaha.

See the article on how to wear white lace here & my post here!

How I wear...

Veechay!

{hat: veechay, skirt: ?, jacket: ae}

{headband: veechay, shirt: old navy, boots: bakers}

{headband: veechay, shirt: f21, scarf: gift}

Hi guys! Today's post is made possible by Veechay.com! Cute name, yes? You can read more about it here. Anyway, Vanessa emailed me asking if I'd like to do a post about her lovely designs and I of course said yes! How could I not? Her site JUST launched, and it's seriously cool. I am so happy with my three items - I was sooo excited when I opened them! The material is perfect... They're all so comfortable and well made!! Veechay is a "word of mouth" company, so if you like these designs, check out their website & tell everyone you know about them! (Through Emails, Facebook, Blogger, Twitter..)

Sooo, I feel like I've been absent from the blog world for like ever (and it's only been 4 days! lol.) If you follow me on Twitter, you'd know that I've been Christmas shopping for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT. Seriously, It's outrageous. I'm so over it! It's my first year buying everybody gifts & don't get me wrong - I love giving the gifts, I just hate going and picking them out! It's so stressful. Next year I'm online shopping! Haha. This year my family & I are buying gifts for kids with parents that aren't able to this year and it is seriously my favorite thing ever. I think we'll have to make it a tradition. I can't wait to give the gifts to them!

Sorry these pictures look like they were taken with a $10 camera. My computer picture editor is currently ruining every picture haha. I can't wait to get Photoshop!

Giveaway

Come on skinny love

What happened here?

{Cardi: Wet seal, Dress & Fur: F21, Skirt: Von Maur, Shoes: UO}

I wore this little number, today, to our church Christmas program! Geesh, I just love Christmas. Don't you?? It's so exciting & nostalgic! Speaking of the holiday.. I don't have ANY shopping done! Haha. It's terrible - I'm aware.

Anyway, today was the longest I've spent doing my hair in a long time - and it only took like 15 minutes!! I rarely do anything to my hair (As you all know.) Outside, it was really rainy & cold - Perfect condition for my fur scarf thingy - with pockets! It's so warm. Definitely one of my favorite things in my closet! For the most part, I really like this outfit - Besides the fact that my tights have a pattern (I didn't know this until after I left the house, ha!) & I would have much rather seen black heels! Oh well. It's all a learning process!

{Sweater: Thrifted, Skirt: AE, Tights: F21}

I know what you're thinking.. "Real original, Kenzie. You JUST did a post by your Christmas tree." Well, Yes. I did. & I'm doing it again. Let me explain myself. I really wanted to enter F21's Holiday Sweater Contest on Chictopia. Rules are: 1. Upload a photo of your favorite sweater style and the coziest spot you love to sport it in 2. In your post, tell us why this is your favorite holiday sweater look and why the locale gives it that extra-snuggly oomph. I know this is weird, but for whatever reason, I love our Christmas tree. I love walking around downstairs and just staring at it. It's beeeautiful and it makes me really excited for Christmas morning. This sweater is too warm to wear any other time of the year, so I'm loving it this holiday season ;)

Pay no attention to my eyebrows. They are in the awkward growing out stage. For whatever reason I've been wanting to grow them out thicker for a while now and I'm finally getting around to it. Have I ever blogged about how much I love eyebrows? 'Cause I really really like them. Hahaha. I know - that is the weirdest thing. But I do! I respect a girl for her eyebrows - They can make or break her face, in my opinion. I'm hoping to do a little something like this!

Photos from...

My trip to Ohio!

{Traffic; Sisters; Carson; Thanksgiving; Blair; GIVEAWAY sneak peek; Santa; Macy's, My clay face; Snow!}

Hi lovelies! My, how I've missed blogging! I had a really good trip, but, I'm glad to be back! I hope you all enjoyed the guest blogs. I know I did! They all did such a good job :)

My trip was all about Family, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, FOOD & The Office. My sister got the keys to her apartment on Thanksgiving day, so a lot of my trip consisted of cleaning, unpacking boxes & decorating. Unfortunately, she didn't have cable or internet so there wasn't much to do. For entertainment, I watched like 30 episodes of The Office! It's definitely my new favorite.

Anyway, I'm excited to get back to regular posting! I'm hoping to finish up the giveaway and post it by the end of the week. It's really cute - I hope you guys like it!
