2015, Nice to Meet You

2014 is basically over.

Its ridiculous.

This year has been amazing yet of course has had its ups and downs. As they all do.

I am also being one of those cliche girls who says they're going to get fit and healthier.

I am I admit it!

My friend and I are stepping into the Paleo Diet deal. I'm so nervous, I'm not even going to lie. It honestly is a quest to be healthier and maintain a better lifestyle.

Fashion Enthusiasn has -of course- been one of the ups of my year. I finally found something that I love doing. Its almost like a diary but about fashion. Sometimes I honestly feel like I bug my friends talking about clothes and fashion. Well only my really close ones, some of my other ones go along with it.  I really want to throw myself into the blog more and do more OOTDs and things like that.

AND ACTUALLY DO A HAUL.

That is a serious goal of mine. In the spring, I said I was going to get to doing one and I still haven't and the year has ended.

It will happen in 2015, I promise.

Anyways guys! This will be posted at 11:59.

I love you guys so much!

Bye to you and 2014!

Shopping Local is Fun: Half United

Half United.

Kynnedy, get to the point already, is probably what you're thinking but I'm getting there.

HU is company based out of my hometown (I love being able to say that) who's adorable and giving slogan immediately pulled me in:

Fashion that Feeds. 

Half United makes and distributes jewelry, clothing, and bags in order to fight hunger around the world. HALF of the proceeds go directly to fighting the epidemic.

Founders and siblings, Carmin and Christian Black started the company in 2010 and have provided over 115 thousand meals to those around the world.

Their signature is a recycled bullet casing symbolizes the "fight against hunger."

And over the holiday season, from November 30th to December 25th, HU has provided an amazing total of 7,186 meals!

As you can see this small, family business is doing amazing things all over the world.

Now I myself don't own any HU merchandise (insert me crying) yet in writing about them hopefully they will be able to provide some meals because of you all reading this.

These are some of my favorite HU pieces:

The Kenny

The Jude in Silver and Black Leather

The Meg Cuff Bracelet in Ocean Blue

HU Classic Logo V-Neck

Giving Back is the New Black (Collab with Jawbreaking)

Blogger Envy

THIS IS A SERIOUS THING. 

Sorry that may have been a bit rude, not actually trying to be though. 

Blogger Envy. 

You know, I personally see bloggers sometimes and I know they're adults and they do this full time and have had a growing wardrobe for years, I myself have really only taken an interest in buying my own clothes, style, and fashion within the last four to five years. I understand that everything they do is probably...

Not probably, 99% of the time is...

More professional so to speak. 

That I am 100% okay with, though other times I'll see and fall in love with blogs and their authors only to come to find out we're the same age or they're only one to two years my senior. 

That makes me want to dig a hole and can also be kind of discouraging if I'm honest. 

I feel like their blogs can flourish and have amazing audiences, yet I don't feel as if my does. 

Don't get me wrong I feel as if there are some of you who do read most posts; I just don't know of those who do :(

Now please don't throw ya girl a pity party because, I really do love doing this. 

I just seems like in my mind, I want to do really fun and amazing things with this. Its something that I truly love.

Like when adults come up to you and ask the most awkward break the ice questions? Age, grade, etc. When they ask what I like to do I honestly have something to tell them now. 

Thats all for today guys!

Love you,

Milestones: 12 December 2014

The year is winding down and a day that I feel is kind of important has passed.

November 27th.

That day in 2013, I acquired my learners permit to drive.

You probably though it would be something more dramatic and gut-wrenching but no. In my state, you have to have had your limited learners permit for a total of a year, driven and logged at least 60 hours, and be sixteen to be able to get my drivers license.

All of these requirements I meet yet, guess who doesn't have her license yet.

Me.

I understand the fact that car insurance is so expensive, its almost ungodly.

Yet, in order to pay for that I need a job.

But guess who doesn't want me to get one?

My mom.

She thinks I'll be growing up to fast and that I don't need a job. In order for me to get a car... I need a job. Both of these things are big milestones in the life of a teenager and although getting a job may not be the most glamorous part of coming of age I feel like its going to happen at sometime. Why not now?

It kinda makes me feel like I can't grow up, now don't get me wrong I know there are full grown adults who don't have their license or a car but if I'm in the position to I feel like I should be able to. I could help my parents out actually, picking up my brother and sister, grocery stores, and all that other good stuff.

I don't know, what do you think?

November Favorites

Here we go!

Monthly Favorites!

November Favorites 

Firstly we have over the knee boots. I want some of these so bad and they are extremely on trend at the moment. They would be so good for the weather here in NC thats starting to get really get cold. They'd be perfect with leggings, jeans, a shift dress, practically anything. I really want a pair and I actually saw some at Belks a few weeks ago and I think I may go pick up a few. 

Call me basic, I don't care but that doesn't make me want a Polaroid camera any less than I already do. I honestly wish when I took more pictures on my cell phone I could print them out. With this type of camera I can. What if Instagram crashes and I lose all my pictures? Not that I really want that but it could happen realistically and I love my pictures. I feel like having a Polaroid is like a little keepsake that I can hold in my hand. I want one. I do quite badly. 

1989. Is. Genius. Now like seemingly everyone else in the world believes so too but I'm just going to come right out and say it. I love this album some of my favorite tracks are Welcome to New York and Blank Space. Taylor has such a way with words that make everyone fall in love with her music. Myself, being one of those people.

Signature necklace. Now since basically the early 2000s people have gotten necklaces with there names inscribed in them or written out. This is a little different however because its much more customized because you send a piece of paper with your signature on it to the Etsy show owner and she makes the necklaces the same way you draw them. Aly of Jawbreaking has one and I see it basically everytime she post a picture on it and I'm obsessed. That is one thing on my wishlist.

Lastly, graphic jumpers/sweatshirts. I think these are great pieces for FW. They can be more simple-like the one above-, extremely complex, oversized. You name it. I really am in the market for picking up one of these pretty soon.

Alrighty guys! Thats all for this month.
Thanks for reading!

Looks of the Week

Hi guys!

So I decided I would do a 'Looks of the Week' post.

I haven't done one in a while and ya know... I guess that means its time to do one.

These aren't in any particular order so here we are...

1. Zendaya

Y'all know I love Zenday from the Style Insipration post I did on her before. She is just everything. This ensemble... I mean she's so classy and young. Like I said before epitome of goals ladies and gents. 

2. Danielle Peazer

Once again one of my many Style Inspirations Danielle Peazer. On her blog Idle Lane, she was speaking about the dress she was wearing by Motel Rocks. I'm obsessed with the dress, the shoes, her. Everything in this outfit is so adorable, it's the perfect combination of girly and edgy which is a category I would put myself in. Once again, goals. 

3. Khloé Kardashian

Khloe has been in London the last few days and as always she has stunned. Her dress in a very business shape yet a color you wouldn't normally find it in. Her boots, her thigh high Gianvito Rossi boots, are to die for. Khloe in my opinion can pull of anything, but maybe I'm biased because she's my favorite Kardashian. 

4. Kate Hudson

Is there anything to discuss really? I think it's self explanatory. Kate Hudson is a star for the ages and so is her style. This dress she wore to the 2014 LACMA Art+Film Gala is to die for. I'm in love. 

5. Aly Silverio

CEO of Jawbreaking, Aly Silverio is amazing in her own right because she's been building an empire but this outfit of hers... She's so great. I want to be friends with her. Her shorts (she said she purchased from My Bandage Dress) are so adorable for the weather here in NC that she and I are both currently dealing with along with along with the simple grey sweater and olive green hat. She and I wore the same size... I would buy everything from her Poshmark. #noragrets

Guys! Thats it for now! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.

October Favorites

It's once again that time!

Favorites of the Month, duh.

October Favorites by imkynn 

So first we have Jawbreaking's new line which I am obsessed with. We've discussed my love for the independent clothing brand before and this line is so amazing. They even added workout wear (which actually makes me want to try to exercise more) but the focus was Romeo and Juliet from the shoot and the lookbook. They are just so different without straying from trend which attracts buyers. I just love Jawbreaking... I think I'll be making a trip up to Raleigh for a pop-up shop one weekend soon. 

Alrighty here we have a striped blazer. Its a little different from something that I would normally wear, but I saw a family friend wearing one the other day with a solid green blouse and I want one so bad now. It would go perfect in a more dressy setting with a nice shift dress or even on a night out with a tank, a nice skinny jean, and pair of wedges. It would be a really versatile piece in my closet. Therefore... I'm going to plan on getting one of those quite soon. 

My boo Tinashe, please. Her new album Aquarius is so amazing. Her first single 2 On feat. Schoolboy Q is probably one of my favorite songs of recent and the R&B album has been on replay nonstop since it came out. My absolute favorite track is Far Side of the Moon. Its R&B but its not typical R&B which I think will appeal to a wider audience. Its more alternative as well as pop influenced. I don;t care what anyone else says. Go listen to this album here or buy it here. 

Moto jacket. Moto jacket. Moto jacket. Please. I am in dire need of a jacket of this cut and material. It a major staple for FW and I have never owned one before. Insert crying emoji here. But honestly it would be an amazing wardrobe investment.

Céline bags are gorgeous and amazing. Also my least favorite word- Expensive. Yet this bag from Forever 21 isn't very expensive at all and has the same shape as the bags that can reach $1,000+. So I am gunning for one of these bags extremely soon. 

Alright guys! That is all for these favorites! I hope you enjoyed!

A Bit of Change

Hi guys! 

It's been two weeks since I posted last. 

I feel absolutely horrible about that.

I missed writing for you guys.

I also just wanted to say that my blog is going to be more than just fashion. Don't get me wrong that will still be the majority of it. Just not all of it. If I write more experiences and throw fashion into each lifestyle post along with my fashion posts I think it'll be much easier for me to blog on a regular. 

Thank you so much for understanding and you shall be getting an October Favorites here soon. 

Love you all.

Traditional Fall

Hi guys! I told you I was going to do regular fall because I know everyone isn't experiencing that 'Warm Fall' that I wrote about last week so I decided to do an outfit guide for more 'Traditional Fall'.

Regular Fall by imkynn 

Army green and B/W. I'm obsessed. An army green jacket doesn't live in my closet and that makes me sad but since this a guide... anything I want can be mine basically. So I love the color combination of the two with a classic skinny jean and the black ankle boots. My next two investments will definitely be an army green jacket and biker boots. 

Leggings, yes lord. Can you say 'Fall Staple'? Now a nice black legging goes with absolutely everything especially a red and black checkered flannel which are really on trend right now. Since I would want my flannel to be over sized I would pair it with this black ribbed crop top. These Nike wedges I think add a different flair to the outfit rather than say a black pair of Vans. 

These type of outfits I absolutely adore. The knit jumper over top of the collared shirt is preppy but the electric blue skirt adds a different feel to the outfit. The loafers with the little cat faces add a little whimsical feeling 

This outfit I love because it leans more toward my tomboy side who just loves a pair of sweatpants and sneakers. The muscle tank with the floral pattern on the lightning bolt adds a touch of girlishness. The grey and black marble joggers are much more laid back with a nice pair of Jordans (insert heart eyes here).



Alright guys! Thats all for this post I hope you enjoyed it.

Warm Fall?

Hi there guys!

I wanted to do a little outfit guide for fall.

Yet you guys are probably looking at the outfits below and think those aren't too fall.

Well this outfit guide is for "Warm Fall". Here where I live in the Carolinas the weather his still extremely warm for the season. Today when I writing this it got up to 86 degrees, yet the nights can still be a little chilly and if the wind blows it can cool down significantly.

Warm Fall by imkynn 

I tried to incorporate all kinds of outfit choices by using the romper, jeans, shorts, and a skirt.

I actually wore a romper outfit like this yesterday (Outfit 1) yesterday. It was so nice out but it had a little bit of a breeze to go along with it. So I just paired a nice little romper with a jean jacket and ankle boots. This is really similar. I love the pattern its more of a S/S but the colors plus the jean jacket make it feel more fall.

This next outfit is just a simple (the pun was not intended I promise) tank top with a nice boyfriend jean. I love boyfriend jeans, they're so comfortable, the fit is like a skinny and bootcut had a baby. Plus with the nice loafer to keep your toes in. I think it would be a really great with maybe a leather jacket if it got a little bit colder soon.

Everyone wants to start breaking out hoodies, jumpers, and sweatshirts. Yet if its not chilly, then what? This outfit kind of helps with that by pairing a pastel flower patterned jumper with a nice pair of denim cut-offs.

Lastly we have one of our staple colors for fall, red. Its a red, long sleeved, crop top with a nice skater skirt which is a cute and simple crossover between the two seasons.



Alrighty guys! I hope you liked this outfit guide! I'll have one for regular fall next week! Love you!

September Favorites

Hello hello!

Its that time again!

Monthly Favorites!

September Favorites by imkynn 

Well first we have The Maze Runner and I am obsessed this book. I read it in three days. The writing was gripping and I knew I wanted to see it before I went to see the movie starring Dylan O'Brien (heart-eyed emoji). It was really great read and I'm so excited to read the next three books in the series. I borrowed it from a family friend and I was so into it I highlighted some things. I'm not really sure if I should have done that... whoops. Anyways I would definitely recommend it to anyone. 

Black Ankle Booties. I am alive. Okay so you can tell I really want a pair of these in my wardrobe. They are so cool and sleek and can go with any outfit. Its one of those basic pieces that you just need  in your closet especially for A/W 2014. Most of my favorite bloggers and style inspirations have tons of these (making me feel a bit like a little green-eyed monster) which is mostly where I found the 'need' within myself to purchase a pair of these. So this sister needs to get herself a pair ASAP.

Next we have stack-able bracelets. I know that doesn't seem like much of a big deal but I love a good necklace, earrings, etc. Yet I am not at all a big bracelet person, so I've been trying more lately to try and wear bracelets but I always end up wearing like 5 of them at a time, If I'm going to wear them, I feel the need to have on a ton opposed to a singular one. If its a charm bracelet or something of that nature then I'll wear that alone but for anything thinner or just a regular bracelet I have to stack them.

BANG BANG INTO THE ROOM. This song is my jam, okay? I have loved Jessie since 2011 and this song with Ariana (who is killing the charts on her own) and Nicki (who I also love) is all I really need for a good pick me up if I'm feeling down. Its just one of those 'girl-power' songs out right and I am absolutely obsessed. The power house vocals just give me life.

Now as you guys know from Spotify Sunday, I love Jhene Aiko and her entire album is everything. Yet the first song I heard off the album was Promises feat. Namiko who is her daughter. It is probably one of my all time favorite songs. It's about how just as Nami is growing up, Jhene is so proud of how she growing up and how amazing she is. Also she says that despite everything she promises that everything will be okay. Its an amazing song and I totally recommend listening to it.

Alright guys thats it for this month!

Thanks for reading! I hope you guys enjoyed! :)
