jackie taylor x fem!reader picnic date drabble !!!

“surprise!” jackie exclaimed, revoking her hands from your eyes and revealing a picnic set up. it was coming up to your one year anniversary and jackie wanted to do something.. different for it. “oh my gosh, jackie! it’s so beautiful,” you told her with a smile, admiring the set up of fruits, chocolates, sandwiches, all the works. she smiled at you, sitting down on the blanket, “yeah, i’m kind of a genius at setting up dates.”

you rolled your eyes lightheartedly and sat opposite her, “i had no idea where you were taking me. i thought you were gonna murder me and leave me in this field,” you chuckled out.” her eyebrows creased in concern, “you think i’d do that? wow, you don’t like me all that much, do you?” she asked you jokingly, cracking open a bottle of wine, hidden in the picnic basket.

“i decided that because our one year is coming up i wanted to do something special,” she said with a small smile, pouring you a glass. you nodded along, taking a sip of the wine, burning your throat as it went down, “are you proposing?” you asked sarcastically. “pfft- what? no..” she answered, making a faux uncomfortable face, “i know we don’t often do anything quiet like this, so i thought it’d be nice to admire the sunset and eat berries and drink wine for the first time together.”

you smiled at her as you sipped the wine, “you’re so thoughtful, you know.” she nodded, “i know! everyone takes me for granted, when i disappear into thin air one day.. no one’s gonna know what to do.” she poured her own glass and began sipping from it, too, “we’ve got strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, milk chocolate, white chocolate, some kind of cheese, wine, small sandwiches.. maybe there’s something i’m forgetting.”

you paused, in thought for a moment. jackie had the whole set up, what could she be missing? “nope. i’ve got all of it,” she reached into the basket and pulled out a bottle of apple juice, “to sober us up, if needed,” she winked at you. you began picking at the assortment, popping a few blueberries into your mouth, the taste covering your tongue as you popped them.

“it’s such a nice evening,” you began, “how long have you been planning this?” she shrugged, pouting, “here and there. i dabble occasionally in watching the weather.” you nodded, chuckling, “ahhh, i see.”

you watched her as she bit into a strawberry, the juice quickly running down her chin and staining her striped blue sweater, “shit,” she mumbled, “loved this sweater.” you dismissed it, “it’s okay, i can buy you a new one.” she shook her head, swallowing the strawberry, “it’s vintage.” oh. “oh. well, duh! i knew that..”

she looked at you with a hint of concern, “really?” you shook your head, taking a bite of a sandwich, your words coming out muffled, “mmmno.” she giggled, “you don’t know anything about fashion, do you?” you shook your head again, slightly embarrassed.

“it’s okay,” she reassured you, “i didn’t know much about fashion either, Rachel Greene taught me.” you frowned, your eyebrows knitting together, “as in the girl from Friends?” “mhm! she’s a fashion icon, seriously.”

you finished up your glass of wine and motioned to her to pour you another, “already? didn’t know you were a heavy weight.” you shrugged, “you’ve seen me at parties, jackie.” she nodded, she couldn’t argue with that. you could hold your damn liquor.

you broke off a piece of chocolate and waved it towards jackie teasingly, “i know it want it, jackieee.” she rolled her eyes back at you, “come on! just gimme it.” you shook your head, biting your lip playfully, “nuh-uh, you gotta ask nicely.” she sighed dramatically and made a jump for you, glass in hand, spilling the alcohol on the grass, the blanket and the pair of you.

you gasped, “oh my gosh, jackie!” she began laughing loudly, “oh my god! i didn’t mean that!” she stared at you, her mouth agape in shock. “we’re both gonna have to get new clothes, our parents will kill us if they smell the wine on us,” you stated, still shocked. “i know! oh my god, that was hilarious! i thought i could redeem this sweater but i guess not,” she shrugged, smirking. “we’re still eating all of this, right?” you asked, clearly not wanting anything to go to waste.”

“obviously!” she exclaimed, “you think i spent all of this money on snacks for nothing?” she picked up her own, almost empty wine glass, after throwing it astray on the grass, “cheers to no pregnancy scares!” you glared at her, picking up your glass, “cheers, you absolute dork.”

precursor to a cooper adams/abbott thing im working on !! ankle monitor concept by @cryobabyy 💗💗

——

she was 18.

her favorite book was My Year Of Rest And Relaxation. she always say at the round table in the back corner of the library. she preferred waffles to pancakes, with strawberries and powdered sugar. her favorite place to get these was the diner on North. she watched reruns of the office every night. she had a cat named Bingo.

she had just started college. she had her entire life ahead of her. she balanced her school work and social life perfectly. monday through thursday afternoons were for school, thursday evenings through saturday nights were for partying. Sunday was a rest day.

she grew up in a stable, loving household. she was friendly with everyone, she had no known enemies - not ones that’d she’d made clear.

so it made no sense when she disappeared.

her favorite book was My Year Of Rest And Relaxation. she always say at the round table in the back corner of the library. she preferred waffles to pancakes, with strawberries and powdered sugar. her favorite place to get these was the diner on North. she watched reruns of the office every night. she had a cat named Bingo.

he knew all these things.

She is 20.

——

2 years.

2 years, 57 days, 17 hours.

2 years spent in the vacant townhouse on the end of the lot, on the corner of Evergreen and Woodshire roads.

she spent the first year in the unfinished basement. Cinderblock walls, caulk between them white and clean. he kept them that way. He couldn’t stand when they’d brown, a sign of their age. almost like they were dying, so used to the death they’d seen in the room.

Her bed was in the corner - a spring mattress on the floor, covered in a proper vintage floral bed set. Comforter always perfectly straight, no crinkles. The pillows always upright against the wall, forming a straight, never crooked line between them. A stuffed bear with a sage green ribbon around its neck sits before them. Theres a small red stain on the ribbon - they turned that part to the back. there are two sets of handcuffs bolted to the floor near the mattress. They aren’t used very often anymore, just a precaution.

Across from her bed, a three tiered metal rack with a tv on top. He’d gotten it for her last year, for her 19th birthday. She’d earned it, he said.

The amenities in the room at first were minimal. He made it clear very early on that he was in control. That she had to earn the things she wanted. He now asks her weekly what she’d like from the store, or amazon. she learned quickly to behave, after the first few weeks of resentment. Kicking and scratching turned into a longing for his touch. near the door, there’s a dresser. Filled with baby tees, short shorts, baggy sweaters, knee socks. Lacy underwear and bras with little bow accents.

a desk where she could write and draw, all the books she could want, a fair collection of makeup. he got it all for her as she earned it.

when she had first came to, vision clouded, she first noticed the pressure around her wrists. attempting to pull them closer to be able to see, they stop. She tugs once, twice, three times to be sure. The clinking of the chain on the ground confirmed her fears.

Attempting to calm her mind and panicked breathing, she laid back, when she felt an object between her ankle and the mattress. As her vision cleared, she makes out the monitor strapped to her ankle. Similar to the ones put on newly freed prisoners on probation. Her breathing stills as she watches the red light on the side blink. blink. blink.

she no longer notices the feeling of the plastic around her ankle. she no longer smells the overwhelming odor of the cleaning fluid. She no longer feels scared. She feels safe.

she believes he saved her.

30 Things To Make Life Unforgettable

Appreciating life is one of the things I´ve learned this year, small things, happy moments... All of them are valuable for who we are as well as who we will become. However, we are not conscious of what we have, all the feellings we are experimenting and the opportunities we are losing for doing other things (such as being on our phones 5+ hours). I hope this list helps you making life a little bit simpler.

Walking in the rain. In my city rains a lot, so I´m not going to propose you going to the beach, since I can´t (obv you can do it), we have to adapt ourselves to what we have, and rain is one of my favourite things, I used to hate it when I was younger tho.

Spend your day in a cozy cafe. Not only can you have a coffee, but you can also read, study and be productive. The bes part is that you are experimenting new things, being productive and having fun with a hot coffe/tea.

Put your phone away. Be present babe, this is all what we have, you want to live your life, don´t you? Then start doing it, of course you are not going to live advemtures everyday, but at least you can try it. :)

Learn new things. It will never be a waste of time knowledge.

Be more passionate and intense. Who cares if you are too much? It only matters what YOU want.

Trying new recipees. I didn´t use to be a big fan of cooking, but I tried it few months ago, and let me tell you, all I do naw are bisquits for people I care.

More museums, more art gallery. I´ve always wanted to give mysterious girl vibes (I´m a yapper but introverted at the same time) you can always try reading in a museum.

"For the plot" mindset. My friends and I sometimes play saying yes to almost everything, just to see hwo things develop. It´s very fun:)

Bucketlisting. In a world of consumerism no one can scape

Trying something new. I started dancing, and I feel so energetic.

Learning to be alone. I do have a post about it :) go check it after this one.

Candle+Sweater=Coziness. Scented candles, my bff in autumn/winter.

Book annotating. It helps focusing, you can go through your notes after it and in my opinion creates more powerful bonds with the story and you.

Old classic books. Culture girls are the hottest.

Cooking your own meals. It's such a simple and sweet act of self-care. You can also try making your own Jam or something.

Doing things that you enjoyed as a child. My favorites are horse riding, swimming, baking, and bubble baths.

Buying flowers for yourself. It doesn't have to be an expensive and fancy bouquet, just some pretty flowers for your room.

Doing your nails. I like red wine ones, makes me feel like a vampire!

Taking more Photos. You can also buy a cool vintage camera (I recommend looking on eBay!) to make it more aesthetically pleasing.

Trying crochet, knitting, or sewing. I'm trying to crochet a sweater for my dog right now, haha.

Planting a plant. I tried to plant an avocado, but it didn´t grow as i expected, although i´ll keep trying it

Making plans with your friends like going on a picnic. You could plan some themed picnics like cottagecore, homemade food from your culture, strawberries, and so on; also a great opportunity to take some pictures!

Do volunteer work. Tried it last year, it was so fun to learn new skills and meeting new people while trying to make world better.

Writing a diary. Writing down things that have happened and looking back at them feels really lovely to me.

Writing letters to your friends. Letters just feel more personal than text; you can also keep them as a memory.

Dressing in a way that makes you feel happy. Wearing outfits that make you feel confident will definitely make life better.

Petting stray cats. I love cats.

Starting to collect something. You could collect something small like jewelry or postcards!

Playing music in the background while doing stuff. I can't stop listening to the lofi girl stream on youtube, haha.

Going on gloomy walks in the Forrest. Name something more comforting. I will wait.

Please feel free to add more suggestions in the comments! <3

i’m with you // charles leclerc

summary: cozy afternoons with charles

campfire nights

chasing the last moments of summer, curled up in blankets, barefoot in front of the fire pit. exchanging small kisses and roasting marshmallows as the leaves begin to turn from green to red and orange and yellow, until the chill is too much to stay outside and they have to put the fire pit away for the season

baking together

hovering over metal pans of cookies and muffins and pies, constantly finding and attempting new recipes. most of the flour ends up in charles’ hair, and the cookie dough smeared across faces since they were both so eager to try it. soft rock and oldies music playing in the background as they take constant dance breaks.

sharing sweaters

she loves Charles’ cable knits because they smell like him. and charles loves when she wears his sweaters because it turns him the hell on. it’s get railed in a cozy sweater season in their house. all it takes some days is a simple ‘babe, I’m cold!” and charles is offering to wrap her in his hoodie in a heartbeat. they definitley have matching fleece jumpsuits and tacky pumpkin printed cable knits

hayrides and pick your own fruits and veggies

is there anything that screams hallmark fall more than a hayride, especially when the trailer is being pulled by a vintage pickup truck? they pick everything: strawberries at the end of season, apples, pumpkins, squash. anything that she and charles can use to bake or cook fall dishes. usually they go overboard and pick more than they know what to do with, so it gets offloaded and arthur and lorenzo and pierre more often than not

scented candles and movie marathons

curled up on the couch under thick blankets watching slasher movies and halloweentown and fall romances together, charles is wearing his glasses and his silly little bandana and trying not to be scared when the jump scares hit, a pumpkin spice candle on the coffee table as he allows his girlfriend to cuddle in close to him, his arms securely around her body

pairing - dennis hauger x reader

summary - reader and Dennis decides that even though they’re not together, they can still surprise each other on Valentine’s Day + named best friend action

a/n - this man doesn’t get enough love

★ ☆ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“I am not letting you mope around on Valentine’s Day again, you understand-”

Olive pauses as she walks into the couple’s apartment. She thought that while Dennis was gone that Y/n would be moping around wearing one of his sweatshirts and scowling while eating a tub of ice cream.

“What is going on?” Olive is left with a dumbfounded look on her face as she sits down on the couch.

Y/n has a giant grin on her face as she grabs two cans of sparking juice out of the fridge while humming.

Olive holds in a breath as she looks around the living room. There is vase of roses on the counter and coffee table. The heart vintage heart shape snow globe that she had gotten the couple is sitting on the window sill next to the strawberry candle.

Y/n is wearing beige linen pants and a baby pink sweater with a heart on the middle. The expression on her face makes Olive open her mouth with no sound coming out.

“What?” Y/n asks as she reaches for the TV remote.

“Why are you so happy?” Olive replies as she squints Serendipity being turned on instead of 10 Things I Hate About You or The Notebook.

“Because it’s Valentine’s Day and I will not let it be ruined again just me and Dennis aren’t together.”

Oh wow.

“You know what, good for you.” Olive pats Y/n on the back before opening her drink.

“I know,” Y/n smiles as she leans against her best friend’s side with a sigh.

The two get the middle of the movie before Y/n’s phone starts ringing. The sound makes both of them scowl as Olive pauses the movie and Y/n answers.

“Hello?”

“Hi baby, where are you?”

The sound of Dennis’s voice makes Y/n smile like an idiot. She twirls a piece of hair around her finger and Olive rolls her eyes.

“Home, with Olive, watching a movie.” Y/n leans the couch as she watches her best friend eat popcorn whiling listening to their conversation.

“Okay, I left something for you in my nightstand drawer. I got it for you a couple-” Dennis gets cut off by someone speaking in Italian. “I got to go, love you. I’ll call you soon,”

“I love you too,”

Y/n looks at Olive with her mouth open just a little before the brunette shoos the y/h/c girl out of the living room and into the couple’s bedroom. Y/n waste no time running into her bedroom.

Olive unpauses the movie and keeps sipping her drink before hearing an excited shriek.

“What? What is it?” The brunette spins her head around as Y/n runs back into living room.

Y/n holds a stuffed bunny in her hands with a pout on her face. Olive squints to see the petite gold watch around the pink bunny’s arm.

“Olive, look.” Y/n shoves the bunny in Olive’s face and Olive nods.

“Yes, very romantic, now please stop reminding me that I’m single and that you and Dennis have one of the most cheesiest relationships I know of.” Olive teases as Y/n unclamps the watch and clasps it around her wrist.

“I know, I know, ugh he’s too sweet.” Y/n says as she notices the engraving on the inside of the watch. It’s her initials and his together. Oh, the cheesiness and sweetness at the same time.

“You did something for him right?” Olive ask as she watches Y/n admire the watch with the bunny cuddled against her chest.

“Um, duh.”

————————————————————————

“Delivery for- Dennis Hauger.”

“Uh, thank you.”

The delivery man raises an eyebrow as he hands the confused Norwegian a bouquet of white roses with a card attached.

“Long distance?”

“Yeah, something like that.” Dennis smiles as he thinks about Y/n.

He thanks the delivery man before closing the door and squinting at the roses.

What was happening.

Dennis leans against the counter as he gently lays the flowers in the marble countertop. He carefully takes out the card without untying the flowers.

He can’t keep but smiling like an idiot as he reads the letter.

Dennis sighs as he gently touches the petals of the roses.

Here he was, thousands of miles away from his girlfriend. Unable to be with her and hug her.

But you know what, they’re making it work and that was that. That was they needed. A little sprinkle of affection and love.

And they both know that they were going to have so many moments together. So many Valentine’s Day to spent together and so many holidays.

They both knew that.

Dennis smiles faintly as he reaches for his phone, just can’t wait to hear Y/n’s voice.

heeseung.

cuddling with him in oversized hoodies. the quiet melody of piano music as he tries to teach you to play. a high school romance. running bare foot through a flower field together. browsing through old vinyl records at a vintage shop. the scent of roasted coffee beans. him being cuddly as you both wake up to the sun shining through the curtains. soft nose kisses. treating his lover like a goddess.

jay.

late night drives to nowhere. picking you up at the gate of your school while all the other girls swoon over him. shy smiles. keeps the bad boy facade up around everyone but is a marshmallow when with you. cuddling and watching tv together while a storm rages outside. shoulder and neck kisses. skateboarding together. running through the dark streets lit only by a few street lights while its pouring with rain.

jake.

being the only two in the library , silently reading together while the sun goes down. the muted floral scent of his cologne. lazy smiles as he pulls you into his arms. sitting with your back to his chest across the backseat of his car, as you watch the sun rise over the horizon through the car's windows. a cute australian accent. talking about something he loves while you get distracted about how cute he is when he talks about something he is passionate about. golden retriever energy. golden retriever boy <3

sunghoon.

the low boom of bass from a distant house party. laugher and cheers erupting when everyone clinks their glasses at a party. ice skating with him in the late hours of the night. rainy mornings cuddling when you decide to just stay in bed together all day. smiling into a kiss. silver jewellery. never getting tired of staring into each other's eyes.

sunoo.

giggling as you vandalise walls together with crayons. doing skin care in the morning together. sitting on the counter of the bathroom skin while he applies a face mask to your face. soft sweater paws. the scent of strawberries. cute and shy smiles when you make eye contact. resting your head on his shoulder. the scent of vanilla bean candles. eskimo kisses. spending hours together on the floor of his room talking.

jungwon.

smiling as you watch the first snowfall of the season together. ice cream on a hot day. having a picnic together in a park. running your fingers through his hair as he lies his head in your lap. flooding the house with amazing smells as you bake brownies, cookies and other sugary goods together in the kitchen. shy and gentle touches. a cute and innocent first relationship for the both of you.

niki.

trips to maccas at 3am. making eye contact across the room and both shyly looking away. fairly lights being the only light source in the room as you lie on the floor together. riding bikes together through the quiet city streets at night. waking up early to look at the purple and pink sky before the sun comes up. soft and quiet laughter. messy bed hair.

Vintage Red Strawberry Pink Mock Neck Sweater Pullover by Great Lakes Recreation Small Size 7/8 only $4.99

[videostarblogs]

9. fairy kei

fairy kei is a whimsical and pastel infused fashion style that emerged from Japan's harajuku district, blending elements of 1980s pop culture, fantasy, and a distinctly "kawaii" aesthetic. here is my breakdown of fairy kei!!!!!!!!

origins and development

harajuku influence: fairy kei originated in the early 2000s in Tokyo's harajuku district, a hub for avant grade and youth fashion. the style was heavily influenced by the nostalgia for 1980s and early 1990s pop culture, particularly American cartoons, toys, and fashion trends from that era.

fairy tale and fantasy elements: the term fairy kei loosely translates to "fairy style" reflecting its ethereal and magical inspiration. the style blends fantasy with a playful, childlike innocence, often drawing inspiration from fairy tales, magical girls, and pastel colored things!

iconic brands: brands like spank!, 6%DOKIDOKI, and Nile perch were instrumental in popularizing fairy kei. these stores sold vintage 80s items, as well as their own creations that embodied the pastel, cute, retro vibe of the style

key motifs

pastel color palette: the defining characteristic of fairy kei is its pastel color scheme. soft pinks, baby blue, lavender, mint green, and pale yellow dominate the aesthetic. outfits often consist of multiple pastel shades, creatings a dreamy, candy like appearance.

1980s and 1990s pop culture: fairy kei fashion heavily references 80s 90s pop culture, including cartoons like My Little Pony, care Bears, Rainbow Brite, and Strawberry Shortcake these motifs appear on clothing, accessories, and even as plush toys carried as part of the outfit.

layering and tutu skirts: layering is a common practice in fairy kei. tutu skirts, often made of tulle or similar materials, are paired with oversized sweaters, graphic t-shirts, or pastel jackets. the overall look is voluminous and soft.

cute and playful accessories: accessories are a vital part of fairy kei. bows, star and moon motifs, hearts, and other playful, childlike elements are incorporated into the outfit. hair accessories like large bows, ribbons, and headbands are essential, as are colorful socks, tights, and legwarmers

diy and handmade items: many fairy kei enthusiasts incorporates diy elements into their outfits. customizing clothing with patches, glitter, or handmade jewelry adds a personal touch and enhances the unique, whimical feel of the style.

soft and natural makeup: makeup in fairy kei is generally soft and subtle, designed to enhance the natural, youthful appearance. pale pink, light lipstick, and pastel eyeshadow are common, along with the occasional use of stickers or face gems for a more magical look.

simple pastel hair: hair is often dyed in pastel colors to match the outfit, such as lavender, pink, or baby blue. simple styles like pigtails, braids, or loose curls are preferred, often adorn with bows or cute hair clips.

music

the music associated with fairy kei often aligns with its cute and nostalgic aesthetic. jpop, particularly songs with a playful and bubbly vibe, fits well. artists like kyary pamyu pamyu, who embodies a colorful and whimsical style, resonate with fairy kei enthusiasts. 1980s pop music, especially upbeat and fun tracks, also influences the style, reflecting the era that inspired much of fairy kei fashion. here are some artists I recommend

kyary pamyu pamyu

perfume

capsule

dempagumi.inc

poppy

shoko nakagawa

tommy february 6

macross 82-99

neko hacker

sweetune

movies

movies that emphasize fantasy, magic, and nostalgia are key inspirations for fairy kei. films like labyrinth, the neverending story, and animated classics such as my little pony or rainbow Brite and the star stealer, capture the essence of the aesthetic. anime and films that feature magical girls or fantasy elements, like sailor moon or studio ghiblis my neighbor totoro, align well with the fairy kei vibe. here are movies I suggest.

the secret world of arrietty (2010)

my neighbor totoro (1988)

kikis delivery service (1989)

ponyo (2008)

the cat returns (2002)

little Nemo: adventures in slumberland (1989)

cardcaptor Sakura: the movie (1999)

sailor moon r: the movie (1993)

a little princess (1995)

puella magi Madonna magica: the movie (2012)

books and other medias

manga and anime: magical girl anime like sailor moon, cardcaptor Sakura, and pretty cure are beloved in the fiary kei community. these shows feature pastel colors, magical themes, strong, cute heroines that embody the aesthetic.

fashion magazine: Japanese magazines such a as KERA and zipper often feature fairy kei fashion, providing styling tips, DIY tutorials and showcasing the latest trends within the community.

social media and online communities: platforms like Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest are vital for the fairy kei enthusiasts to share outfit inspiration, DIY projects, and connect with others in the community. social media has played a significant role in spreading the fairy kei aesthetic globally.

inspo

overall, fairy kei is a soft, pastel, and nostalgic fashion style that blends elements of 1980s pop culture with a dreamy, childlike fantasy. it is defined by its use of pastel colors, playful accessories, and references to vintage cartoons and toys. the style us a celebration of whimsy, imagination, and a return to the innocent joys of childhood, making it both visually distinctive and emotionally resonant for those who embrace it.

What is Rosy Blog Chic? Take a deep dive to 2013-2014 with me, the era of Instagram filters (No, not the face ones-- the original presets on the editing tool) Ariana Grande’s Yours Truly album and its impact on fashion at the time, and OG tumblr core. As Spring rolls around, I feel myself reaching for the same pins on pinterest that I did back on Weheartit in 2014... and I’m ready to bring it all back. 

The year is 2013, and you are sat in your bedroom watching Zoella on Youtube and painting your nails in a DIY manicure. Something about this era screams early girlhood, having fun and not caring if something is perfect, as long as it looks pretty. At the time, tumblr and Weheartit was alive with ‘rosy blogs’, and if you search hard enough-- the graveyards of abandoned blogs still remain untouched, like a time capsule of such treasured years, reaching its peak at 2014. 

Where did the name ‘rosy blog’ come from?

No one knows. After many google searches, and coming up with nothing -- I can only assume it was coined from the huge insurgence in ‘rose gold’ at it’s time, florals and roses being featured in lots of rosy blog posts, and the ‘rosy’ warm, pinky filter that was laid over all the images to give it that classic look it was known for. These days, the aesthetic is more popularly claimed as ‘girly 2014 aesthetic’, ‘yours truly era’ or simply ‘2014 core’. As a long time girly girl, I am truly advocating to bring this style back. Here’s how. 

FLORALS, FLORALS, FLORALS. 

Taking a step back into this era, what better time to incorporate floral prints into your wardrobe that spring? Ditzy print, crowded florals on dresses and skirts and sunflower crop tops (Think old American Apparel) are the perfect ways to incorporate a Rosy chic back into your wardrobe. It’s girly, and can be worn super casually as these are not items that technically ever went out of fashion or became played out. 

DOT, DOT, DOT...

Undeniably, polka dot was huge in this era. Something about it can be so youthful, whilst also carrying this timeless chic that is vaguely reminiscent of the 50′s/60′s (See Audrey Hepburn, or kitschy housewife aesthetic) A simple black and white will totally do the trick maybe with pearl accessories or ribbon embellishments but a pink and white polkadot is super adorable too! 

WHAT BRANDS?

When looking back at the fashion of this era, a few brands stick out to me as being staples of their time. Thanks to early Ariana Grande, Wildfox became hugely popular-- especially in their knit pull overs, sweaters, and sunglasses. They were often pastel colours, donning some kind of cute cartoon print over the top such as a rainbow, or hearts. Another big brand that took over this time period would be American Apparel, and a quick search into ‘vintage American Apparel’ or selling sites would lead you exactly to what you need, the same goes for Vintage Victoria’s Secret PINK items -- however you might find some luck in their current resurgence of ‘Originals’ now being sold on the website. I recently copped some OG fold over leggings! For more girly, era relevant brands-- look into H&M, Brandy Melville, vintage Topshop, Hollister and Abercrombie for that classic girly girl look. Or, dig back into your closet and see if you kept anything from this era!

COLLAGE AND PIC EDITING GALORE

To truly encapsulate the way this era unfolded, try your hand at taking cute pictures and laying an warm-vanilla toned filter preset over the top. In this era, people would take pictures of just about anything cutesy-- think your cute tea mug, a girly phone case, your strawberries and nutella mid day snack, this could even consist of whatever show you’re watching on Netflix photographed on your laptop on some sweet bed covers -- the perfect hobby for a lazy day! If you want to take it that step further, collate these pictures into a bordered collage to really push that early-years-instagram aesthetic. 

SO...WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? 

To begin with outfits, there are a few staples I would look out for. When thinking Rosy Blog Chic, what springs to mind instantly is a bralet / crop top paired with a skater skirt. At first glance, this sounds totally out dated-- but to me, there is something so timeless about these kind of looks. This will be perfect as the weather warms up, but whilst its still cold, you can always pair it with a chunky knit cardigan and tights-- also staples of its time. Pumps, mary-janes, brogues and flats are all appropriate shoe choices for this look. 

Another casual look that is less strictly 2014 would be an off the shoulder sweater, leggings / yoga pants, and a pair of ugg boots. This is more appropriate for colder days and definitely will give you an old school Victorias Secret model off duty look. 

A common theme in this era of online photo’s was pyjamas! Again, perfect for a lazy day-- the girl behind the camera was often seen to be donning full length or shorts and a tshirt sleepwear in cute prints and colours. Whether it be VS classic stripes, polkadot/animal print, vintage Disney movie print, florals,  it doesn’t matter as long as it’s cute. 

To accessorize, bows were a huge deal. Whether its clipped to your pony, worn on your handbag or simply just there for decorating, oversized bows were one of the first trends Ariana Grande brought to the internet. The accessory portion of Rosy Blog Chic seemed to take a more classic, timeless and girly route that can often be seen in modern Coquette fashion today-- meaning ribbons, pearls, and lace to up the girly factor by 10. 

Try your hand at home made manicures if you are currently giving your nails a rest from Acrylics or gels! Essie nail polish was at its peak during this era, as everyone seemed to be rocking natural length pale pink nails! I love long nails, and they were still super popular-- this is just for those who want to give their nails a rest. 

Did I miss anything? Let me know! I hope to be seeing Rosy Blog Chic more and more this spring!

Is better than you at Mario kart

Mercy

“Does not like coffee” but if you make it she will drink from yours

Spins her blaster when she puts it back in its holster

Pharah

Likes shows like “How I Met Your Mother” and “Rules of Engagement”

Wakes you up in the middle of the night to go with her to the dingiest convenience store to acquire the best sandwich of your life

Hates coleslaw

Brigitte

Doesn’t count her reps, only times them with specific tools (a song, a show, a podcast)

Has helped her father defy the Geneva Conventions

Thinks The Grand Canyon is made up (Torb told her as a joke when she was little and has believed it since)

Zarya

Has been to the secret Russian lab where they keep stem cells of every known disease to exist. (It’s a real thing, I think don’t quote me-)

Has tried to convince Winston to give her a laser beam inside of the accelerator

Wears Velcro for convenience

Ana

When she is able to settle down and stop being on the move, she catches up with reality shows and calls you to tell you about them

Puts little stickers on her little healing vials to make them look friendlier… not that anyone is gonna notice

Doesn’t like to eat breakfast. Just has tea in the morning.

Symettra

Has special pads on her visor because she doesn’t like the way it sits on her face

There is a disco mode in her turrets that she will never tell a soul about

She commits to bits to get you out of trouble without even knowing the full scope of the situation.

Sombra

Sweater thief, but in the worst possible times. If she forgets hers on a mission, she takes yours and dips

Likes those little strawberry grandma candies

As good of a hacker she is, she is absolutely terrible at 1v1 combat games. Mortal Kombat, Smash, Jump Force, you name it. She isn’t winning.

Sojourn

Phone is set to military hours. You never ask her for the time

Does not nap

Makes jokes about her legs. When you compliment her she knocks on the metal and goes “Quads of steel”. She thinks it’s the funniest bit in the world

*bonus* she may be rough around the edges but she is the loudest laugher at a comedy show

anime hypebeast wear is the worst thing to happen to insufferable weeaboo fashion in the world I swear....ebay needs to understand that when I search 'vintage anime shirts' I am not looking for some aesthetic nonsense like 2023 Autumn Harajuku Lain Ghost in the Shell Kawaii Strawberry Milk Japanese Anime Graphic Sweater Women Streetwear Pullover Oversized Fashion Sweaters, I am looking for a promotional tee with a badly printed design in the center of some seasonal fantasy anime from 2004 called something like Library Princess X: Shoujo Knight Monogatari. to wear when I'm on my computer but also sometimes when I need to run to the bank.
