trends: hanna approved

Taking a look at some current trends I've tried and approved.

Mock necks

The late 80's and early 90's trend is making a comeback, whether you like it or not. The identity confused mock neck plays as the love child of a turtleneck and a crew neck, and fits well with almost any outfit.





Glitter Everything

2016 is the break-out-year for arts and crafts (for your face). Your face is now the canvas, and I can guarantee putting some sort of glitter on it will create a pretty strong focal point.

I usually use a much finer glitter than this, but it gets the point across. 
"Hanna, where would you put the glitter?" Why, good question.
  • under eyebrows
  • on eyelid as eyeliner
  • on cheekbone to replace highlighter
  • in hair part
  • on eyelashes (you can buy mascara with glitter, or do what I did and get clear mascara, then fill it with sparkles.)
Not all at once of course, but it is a fun look to mess with.

This is a gif, but apparently you can't insert gifs on blogger, so I separated it into three frames.
Anyway, don't do that unless you like coughing up glitter. 
My eyebrows also have glitter lined under them, but the lighting isn't A+.


Bandanas and handkerchiefs

A great statement piece. They're also really cheap, so go wild.

Thrift Shopping


If it's a rarity that you have money- like it is for me- spend some of that cold hard cash on some gems from a thrift shop. It may take a long time to find anything, but I promise you will.

Hats 24/7

Hats! Part of the trend I'm seeing where accessories are anything but jewelry.
I own this hat and wear it frequently.
Banana Republic



DIY ripped jeans

I was given these jeans as a hand-me-down- they were a size six. They were clearly too big for me, so I turned them into boyfriend jeans. I used sandpaper, scissors, and my hands. Super easy, super worth the mess of fabric fuzz all over.

(I usually cuff the bottoms)





Overalls


I just bought these chambray overalls from Madewell, and I love them. I usually wear it with a striped crop top and the flat brimmed Banana Republic hat that was pictured above.

90's: All grunge, all the time


Dust off your mom's Doc Martens. They're back.


Non-traditional hair styles and cuts


Do something crazy with your hair! It's 2016. Whether it's for convenience (I have an undercut because my hair is pretty thick) or just for a change.
Get those bangs you wanted! Dye your hair pink! Get a pixie cut! 

Messy space-buns featuring my undercut and crazy eyes.


Try some of these trends and tell me how you like them.

prom! prom! prom!

My first boy's-choice dance, my third year into high school. 

I bought my dress (no, my mom did. thanks mom.) for $73 dollars. "WHAT, no way, Hanna." Really. It was originally $200, but if you're kind to the sales associate at the store, you can get a little bit of help. (Thanks Darryl)


State Capitol with Shaylee Briones 
Another surprising fact about my dress. I found it at JC Penney. In the midst of chiffon ballgowns and beaded bodices, there was my perfect dress. A two-piece, navy, lace dress.

My shoes are from Target (Mossimo). I also wore them to my first girl's choice dance in February, 2016.




Anyway, it was great. It was hosted at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City, which was beautiful.
(Thanks for taking me, Oliver)

My Evolution

In early 2015, my dear old friend Jennie Munson began to have an interest in photography. I had zero skill or experience, so we were on very different levels talent-wise.
What began as a side hobby for her, became a hobby for me as well. I planned out outfits, and we would travel to whatever location seemed most aesthetically pleasing at the time, and just shoot.

I don't recall where this was, somewhere in Salt Lake City. I wanted to do a no-makeup shoot for body positivity month.

Paper Doll, The First Post

The first blog post. 
Usually a failure, inevitably deleted, forgotten among the abyss of terrible blog posts. 

Anyways, welcome. This is my attempt at doing something I love, but in a more public space.




So then, this is me. 
My name is Hanna, and I'm a junior at Lehi High School. 
I wanted to do this for a hobby to help me explore the fashion industry, and help discover more of my personal style. It's fun to watch yourself evolve. 


Join me on this weird experiment that I've named, Paper Doll.
