Valentine's Day Outfits and Radical Self Love

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, and most people are either dreading it or excited for it- usually depending on whether or not they are in a relationship.
Heyyyyy people in the first group, cheer up and remember what this holiday is supposed to be about: LoOoOove! ;]


The super-rad Gala Darling has declared the entire month of February the month of
Radical Self Love
On Twitter you can tag posts as #radicalselflove.


So take this time to ask yourself: what do you love?  Then dedicate the entire day to that!  It can be your pet kitty-cat, gardening, making music... Figuring out what simple things make you happy can be an awesome step to loving yourself, totally, completely, awesomely. Love the world, love your friends, love yourself!


So now that we've got that covered, it is on to the real question: what are you going to wear?!
Here I present to you, some inspiration:
Valentine's Day Outfits!

V-DAY 1 by nikkidee featuring Diane von Furstenberg pants

For the punk Minnie Mouse in all of us, whose greatest love is the music coming from her headphones.

vday 2 by nikkidee featuring N.Y.L.A. boots

For the girl who marches to her own drum - the beat of her heart.

vday 3 by nikkidee featuring D&G cardigans

For the girl who spends Valentine's Day whispering in strangers' ears, 
"Mon chéri, m'aimez-vous?"

Vday 4 by nikkidee featuring Yves Saint Laurent accessories

For the girl who loves her cat more than her boyfriend. ;]

Vday 5 by nikkidee featuring All Saints jackets


For the girl who worked at a coffee shop all day on Valentine's Day, then danced home and continued her life.

Vday 6 by nikkidee featuring Disney Couture jewelry

For the girl who spent the entire day writing love letters.

- ♥ - ♥ - ♥ - ♥ - ♥ - ♥ - ♥ - ♥


So what do you think, duckies? Can we take action on V-Day? Work with it, and not against it? Turn all the love you can muster in on yourself, and then let it shine out of you like electricity?!  Get out there and va la parte un certo amore- go share some love!


What are you planning to do with all of that love you are capable of?

Things I Loooove This Week!

♥ The movie Factory Girl. I love it! It actually came out early 2007, I think... it stars Siena Miller as Edie Sedgwick! Since the movie Grey Gardens is out in movie theaters now, about Jackie O's aunt and cousin Edith Beale and Little Edie Beale, I figured it would be appropriate to re-fall in love with everything Edie!

♥ Dying my hair... more pink! :]

♥ Twitter! I know I write about it all the time, but I seriously love it. True, some people take it a little too far- there is such thing as Too Much Information, even on the internet!- but I think it's one of the best social networkin' devices on the interblag.

♥ Overheard in New York. Probably the funniest website ever, and it's a good procrastination tool! :p

♥ Planning outfits for events- like prom :] I have tons of prom outfits on Polyvore- I'll share them here :]

♥ Anticipation! April is almost over... and from now on the rest of the school year is pretty much jam-packed with events! I'm so excited!

♥ Facing your fears

♥ Late-night phone calls

♥ Panera Bread :]

♥ The Goodburger Movie!!!

♥ Car Dance Parties

♥ Earth Day parties!

Love your mother... Get it - mother earth? :p

What is making you smile this week?

"Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride"

I probably won't get to update my blog for the next few days [I'll still be on Twitter!] because I'm going to Orlando, Florida on senior trip with my school! We'll be going to a water park, to Universal Studios, to Islands of Adventure, and to the beach. We're also hittin' up Downtown Disney at night, and I'm pretty sure there's a pool at the hotel.

When it comes to packing for trips, I'm usually all about thinking for days about what I'm going to pack, then madly chucking things into my suitcase or bag the night before.

However, we're only allowed to bring one bag weighing less than forty pounds. And after reading Gala Darling's post about Disneyland Chic, I want to make sure that I'm properly prepared.

I'm going for five days.

I'm all tired and stuff so I guess I'll update when I get back on what I packed... and everything else. I'm so amped about the trip!

So I'll post a whole bunch when I get back, and make sure you follow me on Twitter for random updates!

Love,

Nikkidee! :]

woohoo!

You already know this if you follow me on Twitter, but I GOT INTO PARSONS SCHOOL OF DESIGN [Parsons The New School For Design] !!!

I'm really really really super duper excited.

My acceptance letter came in the mail today, and at first I thought it was a rejection letter because it was in a small envelope!

But alas, it was not. ;]

Parsons is my number one school, so I am so ridiculously happy :]

Thoughts on college or Parsons? Where do you go to school//planning to go? :]

Twitter!

I am a giant technology nerd, and I am forever finding and adding new ways to stay connected. One of my most [kind of] recent additions is my Twitter account. I'm addicted! I think it's brilliant and have been trying to convince all of my friends to join Twitter. It's kind of an elaborate facebook status, only better, and you can change it and recieve updates from your phone. You can also send direct messages to your friends on it.
Another cool thing about Twitter is that I just added my lovely blog's RSS feed to it, so whenever I update Wishful Thinking it shows up in my Twitter feed! Awesomeee.
You can follow me on Twitter here or on the right side of the page under the about me box.
"Following" on Twitter...sounds kind of stalkerish doesn't it? Haha.
Okay, I'm off to get ready for the Barnes and Noble book release party for Breaking Dawn. Stop in tomorrow for a recap!

Lovelovelove,
Nikkidee! :]

Blogging Attempt, Take One

Blogblogblog.

Well I'm no stranger to putting my thoughts out on the interbot but I've never had a real-live true-story blog before. Let's see how this one goes.

To start out, I'm going to be a senior in high school. I'm planning on being a fashion design major and probably a writing minor. I'm madly in love with all things fashion, art and music. Feedback is my favorite thing ever.

So do it up!

I'm a "budding" fashion designer. I have a website at http://www.nikkidee.com/ where you can order something custom or choose from the things that change at random every now and then. I love technology and the internet because being connected all the time is fascinating to me; so of course I have accounts on facebook, myspace, twitter, livejournal, aol, and countless other places.

I'm going to be blogging on here about fashion, music, and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Okay, that's all for now!

Lovelovelove,

Nikkidee! :]
