BIG ANNOUNCENT//sparkles and slime


Displaying image.jpeg
Once again, Dylan O'Brien is displaying my emotions for me.

I'm sitting here reading my posts from past years of Nickelodeon award shows
 and alternately laughing my head off/wondering if I've peaked.

I suppose I'll figure it out Saturday...
ON THE ORANGE CARPET.

That's right, 
your favorite award show commentator is headed for the carpet itself.
 I'm going to be bringing a splash of sparkle to the slimiest of  shows.

And I'm very excited.

Both about going and that line, which was definitely a 10 pointer.

I'll be on the carpet for HuffPost Teen, 
so expect some serious laughs,
 very important questions about selfies, 
and the occasional dance break.

Disclaimer: If anyone throws slime at me,
I'm going to throw my shoe at them.

xx,
Justina

PS. make sure you're following me on instagram + twitter or you're going to miss all the fun

who are you sitting with?



 "You can't sit with us" bangle c.o stella & bow

"That's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets."

THIS IS MY FAVORITE BRACELET

The babes at Stella & Bow know me so well. 
This piece is from their Mean Girls collection and
 I want all of it. 

How to catch a Justina:  
combine gold and her favorite movie.

I love how wearing it sparks the "Mean Girls Story".
 Everyone has one.

"Oh my favorite quote is..."
"You know that scene when...."

It's awesome how a movie can impact so many aspects of our culture,
 from film to fashion.

Expect a more detailed thought process on this April 30, 
which is not only the 10th anniversary of our favorite clique,
 but a Wednesday.

"I'm totally Regina George."

xx,
Justina

(a little over) 24 hours in New York City


Ever wonder what it's like to go to NYC for 24 hours?

Me neither.

But it happened anyway and was completely and incredibly amazing.
Looking at you Clifford. 

 I got to meet some of my favorite people,
eat the worlds best ruben sandwich, 
and watch Parks and Rec on a plane.

I can't decide which part was the best, 
so watch the video and let me know.

xx,
Justina

ps. 
shoutout to our driver Carlos, 
who looked like an extra from The Godfather.

easter egg game too strong

dress c.o. chiara fashion//shoes c.o lulu's//cardigan: forever 21//sunnies c.o zerouv 

it's so bright wow

I love this outfit. 

There's sparkles and bright turquoise and a swingy cardigan 
and it's just a generally happy outfit.

The dress is perfect. 
The necklace part is actually detachable, 
so it can be formal or more relaxed.
chill, turquoise, chillllllll

I mean there is the side effect of me looking like an Easter egg,
 but hey,
 everyone loves a good Easter egg.

I would really like if you watched it, and even if you skip the bits where I'm rambling on about
how I started blogging and interviews and such, I would like if you listened to the last part.

Recently it has come up in my life a lot that people aren't happy. 
They don't love what they do or how they look or the way they eat sour strings. 
(Okay that last one is mine but seriously, who licks the sour bit off before eating it? 
That's disgusting.)

That is terribly sad.

So here is my challenge to you:
do something you love today. 
Just one thing. 

It can be popping bubble wrap for five minutes, 
or watching an episode of Parks and Rec
or just lying on the floor listening to R5 acoustic sessions. 

Then do something different tomorrow.
Find your happy thing and let it guuuuuide you.

clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
clap along even if you don't want to because this is my blog and that's what I said to do

Okay, self-help/therapy/Oprah hour is over, 
the doctor is out.

xx,
Justina

iggy azalea for beverly hills high senior class president

when iggy azalea locks up beverly hills, she does it right

Iggy's done it again. 
She literally combined several of my favorite things 
and made a music video I don't hate.
 It's flawless.

She and Charli effortlessly took a pretty street song 
and used a  bubblegum visual that somehow just works.
Completely unexpected, utterly, mindblowingly fantastic. 

I mean, is there anyone fancier than Cher Horowitz?
Answer:
 No.

Except maybe...

Iggy Azalea.

I'm in actual tears right now because tickets for her tour have sold out and
 I was too struggling/broke/whatever the chic word is now for poor 
to afford them.

Waaaay too much way normal teenage girl life there.
xx,
Justina

justina's thoughts from the oscars


 "I love you Ellen!" -Jared Leto

 Last night was the best award show of the season. 

There was Ellen, pizza, Ellen, selfies, Ellen, Sad Leo, Ellen, Jared Leto, Ellen, Jared Leto's hair,
and a minute and a half long education on the Fallings of Jennifer Lawrence, 
by no other than Ellen.

Here are the thoughts, in no particular order.

1. What kind of award show would this be if JLawr didn't trip in the first half hour? 
Answer: a bad one

2. I ship Emma + Joseph forever. 
Bye Ron.

3.  Lupita Nyong'o is an incredibly graceful and flawless human being.
 Dear Pharrell's Hat: I want my lipbalm back. Love, L

4. The award for best speech is tied between Jared
 (minute in a half, covered  all major world problems)  
and Lupita 
("No matter where you're from, your dreams are valid.")

 5. Serious question: do Australians have special bras with pockets inside? 
Must investigate.

6."-it's been raining. We're fine. Thank you for your prayers."
 -Ellen nailing LA

7. Can someone order me a pizza or I can just share with Brad Pitt that'll work too

8. If I just jump on a trampoline for twenty minutes, then fall off, is it the same as seeing Gravity?

9. I SURVIVED THE ELLEN INDUCED TWITTER CRASH OF 2014
her selfie game is too strong
 
10. Ellen. ELlen. ELLen. ELLEn. ELLEN. 


  I'm going to start practicing my "-and the Oscar goes too.." 

just in case

xx,
Justina

its exactly like that jay-z song




I'm still cold

I just got home from New York, 
and I thought I'd make a list of all the things I learned in the last 48 hours. 
Film version coming soon to your nearest Youtube channel.

1. If you are mad (or happy), the person in front of you is driving too slow (or fast),
 if you're having a bad day (or a good one),
 or anything else is happening in your life, lean on your horn.

2.  There is always an excuse to put in an extra flight of stairs.

3. No, they will not wave back at you.

4. Pizza is always the best choice.
 (okay I already knew that but it was confirmed)

5. You need your ID for everything,
 because despite what you may have previously believed, 
you might not actually be you.

6. There are lots of different versions of English. And that's just in one block. 

7. Bright eyeshadow is not appreciated.

8. No one at Starbucks, not even the people working there, 
know or care to know how to make your double caramel sweetened vanilla coffee.  

9. But can you CAN ask for walking directions and they won't just stare at you.

10. "It's a really nice fifteen minute walk." 
is code for 
"thirty minute hike you won't be able to walk after."

11. Don't even try the cute hairstyle. Just don't. 


I had a very....interesting time in NYC. 
I don't want to give it ALL away, 
because I'm making a video,
 and what was the point of lugging around that video camera 
if I'm just going to spill everything here?

BUT

There are appearances by:

Me. 
Shivering.

xx,
Justina
