To be inspired:

April is like a breath of fresh air after months where it seemed like the gloominess of the days was the norm. My energies were high to the ceiling by the start of the month, and starting off something in such a positive state of mind is always a game changer. Arriving back at Milan from Rome on the 31st felt like a step into the first page of my life. As I checked into a hotel for a night as an improvised way of celebrating easter without my family, I felt renewed - in the spirit of the easter-time, I’d reborn in a way. I guess spring does that to all of us, it inspires a joie de vivre that fades without the blooming of flowers and chirping of birds.

The inspiration of the month, overall, is that one scene from the first tinkerbell movie (BEAR WITH ME PLEASE), just in the beggining, where it shows her being born from the seed of a dandelion. Being re born from nature, embracing our own astral glow, and letting ourselves reflect the balance of our everyday lives. Basic clothing that looks elevated just because you’re wearing it, salutes to the sun, flower pressing and stacks of delicate jewelry are all within the spirit of spring. This season is all about capturing the bliss of mundane experiences and allowing it to multiply inside the ecochamber of positivity that is YOU!

Wear butter yellow and baby pink.

My current it girls:

Amanda seyfried

Phoebe Tonkin

Isabel Lucas

Curating your vibe is way more fun in spring, when your outfits don’t have to be overpowered by layers upon layers upon layers of clothing. Many people say that it’s in the colder seasons when they get to express their style the best, hut I’m the complete opposite: i feel the most like myself when I’m feeling light, wearing airy clothing.

Amanda Seyfried and Phoebe Tonkin are the epitomes of what I want my wardrobe to look like. Amanda style is simple but still personal, and to me, personally, she embraces the girl next door energy perfectly, principally in Dear John. The light pink and jeans combo is underrated and capable of making any girl feel like a goddess I believe. Letters to juliet is another movie of hers that encapsulates the ideal spring summer style. Girly but classic, flirty but simple.

Phoebe Tonkin is the same but different. I think of her as the ultimate Realisation par muse, and I feel like it’s because of the effortlessness of her style. She knows the power of the jeans + cute top combo. I love how naturally she wears her outfots, which might seem like a stupid take, but it’s actually just a way to say it’s clear to me how she takes her time when shopping, choosing pieces that truly reflect her personality.

One of my biggest struggles with having a more down to earth style is the fear of looking more like a hobo than a boho princess ahah, and no one walks that thin line better than Phoebe Tonkin, who also adds hints of romantic style in the mix, which i just love. Another master of that art is the one and only Isabel Lucas, who is one of my ultimate style inspirations both for her amazing collection of dresses and the ability to wear them without making it look… forced or cliché. And her graphic shirt collection is just to die for! If you’re like me and like to look like a woodland fairy adapting to modern life both in spring and on the daily basis generally, you should be taking style notes from Isabel. She is an environmentalist and super into holistic living, which, naturally, is a plus.

Movies and media:

Just like heaven

Princess Diaries 2

Confissoes de Adolescente

Brief wondrous life of Oscar Wao

White Oleander

With the lovely weather outside, I sometimes find it difficult to sit down and watch a movie, because everything around tells me to go outside and live life like one instead. When, however, the evening sets and I have no plans to give me an excuse to wear a silk dress and boots around town, I look forward to making my day even longer, but watching movies that feel inherently bright and sunny. Amazing soundtracks, gentle visuals and upbeat stories: you can’t miss it with these romcoms. I don’t know why, but I haven’t been particularly atuned to my cult-ish side recently and haven’t been watching Films, but with me, that desire comes and goes in waves. I have, however, been reading a bit, and a book that I could simply not not recommend are White Oleander and the Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Both completely different, but mystical in ways that I cannot describe, and you’ll have to read them to find out.

As for music, there’s only one album you need: soleil by francoise hardy

To wear

Outfit combos and general essentials I’m currently obsessed with are:

Slinky tops with relaxed pants, extra points if you manage to get a pastel colored top, (a pale yellow would be a DREAM) with a light wash pair of jeans.

Floral tunic dresses, think loveshackfancy… basic I knooww, but that’s kind of what we’re going for here. Jade Butterfield from the 2014 adaptation of Endless Love should be your muse these days, so embrace it!

Your favorite assouline notebook you carry around. I mean… my favourite assouline notebook I carry around ahahah. Not only are they visually adorable, as they also are the perfect notebooks, having a heavy-ish paperweight and perfectly spaced lines, i know I sound dramatic but I’m extra picky with my notebooks, what can i do.

Statement pants, jeans specifically. I just NEED an embroidered pair of jeans so bad, i feel like they’d be perfect with a basic white tank.

Just wearing tight shirts and tanks in general. The charm of the whole outfit being the lack of a need to wear a jacket!

Colorful Sets, i just love buying sets so much. They are sooo low effort but high reward! And I love the fact that they are the source of limitless combinations. Just LOVE THEM so much.

Little Did I Know

Chapter 12: The Wedding

Masterlist | LDIK Masterlist

Word count: 3k

Warnings: Some violence. tiny bit of angst. sorry in advance to leave it this way

The day of the wedding had arrived and Aelin was a bundle of nerves. It was unusual for her to be so affected by being in front of a crowd but this day was different. She was marrying Rowan, who she had come to realize just might be the love of her life. And it was that realization that put her in a new predicament.

She hadn’t gotten to really talk to him about their almost-kisses. The rehearsal was so frantic and formal that they weren’t able to get a moment to themselves. Sure, she could’ve snuck out to his room but her anxiety over the next day held her back.

Could she really make Rowan marry her when he deserved so much more? He deserved to choose his fate, not be tied to an arranged marriage. She found out so much about him the past few months. How he was an amazing friend. How he was extremely competitive, but even moreso with her, it seemed. How gentle and kind and caring he was with the people around him. It was a stark contrast with how she felt about him when they had first met. If Aelin was being honest with herself, Rowan was probably one of the most selfless and incredible people she ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was lucky to have him.

She stood in front of the mirror, Lysandra putting the finishing touches on her wedding gown and hair. The dress was flowy and gauzy, looking as if it came straight from a fairytale. The off-the-shoulder sleeves hung low against her arms, creating a boho style that complimented her free-flowing locks of golden hair. Lysandra chose to do her makeup lightly, Aelin’s natural beauty enhanced by some golden touches here and there. And, of course, the final touches were her mother’s emerald earrings and matching tiara, her most prized pieces of jewelry. Emeralds represented Terrasen, not only because they were the colors of her country, but also because Queen Evalin adored them. She gifted this particular set on Aelin’s ninth birthday, just one year before her mother and father died.

“You look beautiful, Aelin,” Lysandra whispered. “The very vision of a Queen on her wedding day.” Aelin blushed but couldn’t help but agree. Though her insides were in turmoil, her outward appearance made Aelin look regal.

Elide, standing to her left, handed her the bouquet of flowers, the normal white roses mixed in with orange kingsflame, her favorite. Aelin gratefully accepted the bouquet while both Lysandra and Elide picked up their own bouquets of white roses and greens. Both were resplendent in their dark green gowns, looking every ounce the beautiful ladies they were.

It was like everything had passed in the blink of an eye. One moment, Aelin was standing in front of the mirror, the next she was watching the back of Lysandra as she made her way to the aisle. Aelin stayed just out of sight of the crowd but she had a nice vantage point. There were so many people. But that wasn’t what took her breath away. No, that honor belonged to the beautiful man at the end of the aisle, dressed in a tuxedo of the darkest grey with green accents. She knew already that the color would match his emerald eyes, the same eyes she had come to know better than the back of her hand.

The violins swelled and Aelin took that as her cue. She was walking herself down the aisle. No man or lord of Terrasen could hold that honor in replacement of her parents. So she would be the strong queen she was and give herself away. The first few steps were easy. She barely even noticed the crowd. The next few…not so much. The moment she met the green eyes down the aisle, Aelin’s heart started beating erratically, overcome with so much joy and love.

Love.

Yes, for indeed, that was what she was feeling. She loved Rowan. Probably more than she loved anyone ever before. Not like this. The thought had her feet slowing of their own volition.

It was for that very reason that she couldn’t make him do this. He deserved to feel how she felt now. He deserved to have a love that obliterated his soul and rebuilt him better and stronger. Just like he’d done for her. If the lords hadn’t forced their way into her and Rowan’s lives, then he wouldn’t have had to marry her just because he was told to.

She knew Rowan was looking at her with concern when her feet came to a complete stop. Aelin felt hot. Her breaths were coming in too fast and she could feel a line of sweat rolling down her spine. The walls were closing in and her vision was going fuzzy at the edges. Distantly, she could see Rowan stepping down from the raised dais but she had to get out of there and go somewhere where she could breathe.

So she ran.

Her condition didn’t allow her to run far but the distant shouts followed her all the way to the courtyard right outside of the palace. She knelt on the brick patio, not caring if her dress was ruined. She had to get herself together. For the good of the kingdom.

Hurried footsteps sounded from behind her and she assumed it would be Lysandra or Elide. Or maybe Darrow coming to yell at her to get her ass into the throne room and get married. But as the footsteps slowed, a familiar and comforting pine and snow scent washed over her. A warm, callused hand gently touched her back, rubbing small lines down her spine.

“Fireheart,” Rowan whispered. His other hand gravitated toward her chin, pulling gently so that he could look into her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

Aelin just shook her head, tears running down her face. Lysandra would be pissed if her makeup was ruined but she could deal with it.

“Please, Aelin. Talk to me. Don’t shut me out.”

Aelin sighed and gathered herself as best she could. “I can’t…I can’t make you do this.”

“Aelin–” he was shaking his head.

“No, let me finish.” She wiped at her eyes and then took the hand that was holding her chin. “You deserve everything, Rowan. We didn’t get along first but now…You are one of the most selfless people I know. You did this because your queen commanded you to. And then when she was gone, you did this because I’d lose my throne if you didn’t. And you did that because you’re selfless and you’re good. So I’m trying to be selfless now and set you free. You don’t have to do this just because someone ordered you to. You deserve so much more than an arranged marriage. You deserve to go out there and find the love of your life and do it because you want to do it, not because someone told you to. I will not be that kind of queen.”

Rowan looked shocked. His mouth was hanging open slightly, his brows furrowed. Aelin could tell he was at a loss for words. “You deserve to be able to have that happily ever after with Lyria if you want to.” Aelin knew her smile didn’t reach her eyes; it felt forced. She felt an undeniable pang in her heart as she spoke the words. But she was being selfless. This was what was best for Rowan. But she also thought about herself. Not, of course, that she didn’t want to marry Rowan because she did. But rather, she thought about the good of her kingdom and the severity of her future as queen. “And I deserve to be able to rule without a husband by my side.”

Rowan shook his head, still tense. “But your throne…”

“I think it’s about time I marched in there and showed the lords of Terrasen what a queen really looks like, don’t you think? If I don’t do this now, who’s to say that they’ll ever listen to me? Today sets a precedent. I am the queen that I want to be, that my mother wanted me to be. And it’s about time the lords understood that.”

At her little speech, a smile finally made its way to Rowan’s face. His hand cupped her cheek as his thumb brushed away lingering tears, though she could tell a few of his own tears were starting to form. “My brave, beautiful Fireheart.”

Aelin placed her hand over his own, leaning her face into it and basking in what might be the last time that he touched her like this.

His voice was hoarse when he spoke again, much more serious than the minute before. “If this is truly what you want, then I’ll be by your side. Always and to whatever end.”

Aelin felt teary again as she looked up into his eyes, the warmth in them mixed with the longing in her own hitting her like a brick. “To whatever end.”

Rowan got up and offered her his hand. He helped her to brush off her gown, making sure she looked every inch the queen that she was. “Ready, Fireheart?”

“Ready,” she whispered back.

As they got to the doors, Aelin stopped Rowan and took a deep breath. “I have to walk in there alone.”

Rowan nodded. “That may be the case, but I’ll be here every step of the way.” He placed a hand over his heart.

He started walking away but Aelin stopped him before he could get too far. “Rowan.”

He turned, concern etching over his features. She walked up to him slowly, placing both of her hands on either side of his cheeks. Gently, she stood on her tiptoes, bringing her lips to his in a quick peck. The only kiss she would ever get from him. “Thank you,” she whispered.

He blinked slowly, as if in a haze, and Aelin took that opportunity to turn toward the grand doors, steeling herself for what might be the greatest battle of her life. She had given up on fighting the lords but now, she had something to fight for: not only her freedom, but Rowan’s as well. And for him, she would do anything.

Aelin confidently made her way down the aisle once the doors were opened. The violinist and pianist struggled to keep up with her brisk pace. Good, she didn’t want fanfare for what she had to do anyway.

Almost every person in the room had a bewildered look on their face. All except one. She saw a familiar head of silver hair sneak in through the side door, standing by one of the columns to her right. As she met his eyes, he gave her a soft smile and an encouraging nod.

Aelin took a deep breath and began.

“I know you all were expecting a wedding. So I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news when I say that there won’t be one.” As she spoke, she met each of the lords’ eyes, trying to convey both her authority and regality. “My mother and father believed in marrying for love. Though they both were royal blood, my mother always said that she would’ve chosen my father in every life, no matter his status. They were lucky to have such a strong, unyielding bond and I miss them every day. But that’s not the point here. The point is that she also raised me to be strong and independent on my own, without a husband. No matter how I may feel about a potential spouse, I should be able to rule without one. My uncle was never forced to marry to assume the throne nor was he forced to produce heirs.” She gave a pointed look at Darrow.

“I would say it’s quite sexist to assume that I will do any less of a job simply because I am a woman. Terrasen is my home. It’s my greatest love and my greatest honor. No one will fight harder for Terrasen than I will.” She paused, catching her breath and once again looking to each of the lords. “So I am asking you, lords of Terrasen. I am asking you to change the law. See what I have done for Terrasen already, all that I have given, and know that I will continue to give all that I am until my dying breath. Allow both myself and future rulers to choose their fates without the pressure to get married or produce an heir. Allow Prince Rowan to be able to walk his own path that no ruler set out before him.”

Aelin stopped after that. What more could she say? She would not be reduced to begging.

To her surprise, the oldest of the lords, Lord Gunnar, arose and began to speak. “I have heard you, Aelin of the Wildfire, and I commend you for your bravery and honesty. I’ve been alive for a very long time and it is true that we have never held a ruler to such standards as we are now. My deceased wife would be smacking me with her cane if she knew that I held back such a wonderful and intelligent young woman from ruling simply because she does not have a husband. I say it’s time for Terrasen to change.” Aelin’s heart was beating so rapidly that she wasn’t sure if it was still beating or if it had stopped in her chest. “I make a motion to repeal the law that says any ruler must be married by age twenty-one. Does anyone second that motion?”

An unsettling silence like nothing Aelin ever heard settled over the grand ballroom.

Darrow was the next to rise, one hand raised and one over his heart. “I will second that motion.” And after that, one by one, the lords of Terrasen arose to reign in a new era, beginning with herself.

She couldn’t help but let a few tears fall as she looked over the crowd. Once again, she met Rowan’s eyes, which also were wet and glowing with pride.

“This is blasphemy!” A voice cried out. Lord Hamel rose from his seat, hand resting on the sword that hung at his side. “We’re changing the law for an inexperienced wretch who has proven time and time again that she is incapable of handling this kingdom. Just look at what happened a few weeks ago in the woods. If she can’t defend herself, how can we expect her to defend Terrasen?”

Arobynn’s assistant stood next to him, as well, and Aelin did nothing as she assessed the situation. Her eyes went from Arobynn’s silvery eyes, to his burning fire of hair, to the hand he had draped casually on his sword, ready to strike her down if needed. He was close enough to do so, she realized. Her attention drifted to his assistant, who looked at her with fiery hatred, and lastly, her gaze went to his boots. Boots that she recognized. Brown leather, worn yet polished and splattered with mud residue.

Aelin tried to hide her surprise but she couldn’t help her brows furrowing and her eyes widening as she realized who this man was. It was never Maeve that was trying to have her killed, it was Arobynn. He had sent the rider after her that night, knocking her unconscious and almost killing her in the process.

“You…you were the one who attacked me.” Aelin was breathing heavily.

Her panicked eyes went to Rowan. Her first mistake. He looked as concerned as she did, though he hadn’t put the pieces together yet. He started toward Arobynn, hoping to catch him, but during the brief time she looked away, Arobynn lunged, holding her in a tight chokehold, almost but not quite cutting off her airway. She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move, and certainly couldn’t speak.

“I was supposed to be king! We deserve a true Terrasenian on the throne, not some whore who married a foreigner.” His hand grabbed her cheek roughly and he forced his mouth toward her ear. “You were supposed to die that night. Such a tragic death, a young woman who already lost her parents and her uncle. But it would’ve paved the way for me to rule Terrasen the way it was meant to be ruled.”

Aelin shoved her terror down, burrowing into her calm as best she could. She could get out of this position, she had done so a few weeks prior when sparring with Rowan, who now was close enough that he could take Arobynn down after she escaped. With ease, she dropped her legs out from under her, the breath whooshing out of her lungs as Arobynn’s hold tightened on her throat. But the drop had the intended effect, knocking Arobynn off balance and allowing Aelin to forcefully maneuver her way out of his hold.

As soon as she was clear, Rowan swept in, holding Arobynn by the arm and twisting until he was laying on the ground. Guards rushed past, subduing the red-haired traitor and allowing Rowan to check on her.

He grabbed her cheeks gently, bringing his forehead to hers. “Fireheart,” he whispered. A shaky breath left him before he enveloped her in an embrace. She could feel her lips quivering, the shock and fear finally catching up to her. He held her tight and allowed her to bury her face into his chest until she gathered herself once more, ready to face her kingdom.

She wasn’t sure how long they stayed there but eventually, she was pulled away from Rowan by the lords and her ladies to attend to official business. She found out from the lords that Arobynn would be put in the cells beneath the castle until his trial in a few weeks, where he hopefully would be convicted and left to rot. Her coronation was to be scheduled in less than a month, right after she turned 21. And Rowan…Rowan would most likely go back to his rooms and start packing for the journey back to Doranelle.

She had won today. Getting the old, cranky lords to change the laws to the benefit of both the kingdom and future rulers was no small feat. But if that were the case, why did it feel like she had lost so much?

A/N: I know, I'm leaving you guys hanging! But hopefully I'll be able to get the last chapter and epilogue out next weekend. I'm sure they'll be totally fine ;)

Let’s talk Mary’s costuming in The Winchesters’ trailer!

One of the first things I saw pop up specifically was about how Mary looked in this, 1972, in comparison to her 1973 counterpart in SPN prime.

Neither one is out of place, but their styles do seem pretty different. I’m not going to get into why they decided to style her like this as opposed to in SPN prime, but I will say that Mary never seemed to have her own “style.” She’s had vaguely girly things that’s hit trends in the various times we’ve seen her but she’s never felt like she’s had her own “style.” The most we’ve seen her with a style is after she comes back to life and we see her for three seasons in outfits that more or less mimick Dean and Sam. Jacket, over shirt, under shirt, simple hair, minimal make up.

But even then, her style felt more like the boys’ style, and not her own.

Which is why I was so excited to see her costuming in the prequel’s trailer. It felt like they were trying to finally establish her style to us. And with visual storytelling, how you stylize your character just sets the tone and vibe and gives us subtle or not-so-subtle hints at who they are as a character.

When looking at the line up up there ^ I see someone who’s vaguely girly, though the 1980 Mary in Asa Fox -- girl your hair. Help. Who did this to you.

But, 1980 flashback Mary in Asa Fox matched 2019 Mary more in my opinion of someone who doesn’t really care about her appearance and is just wearing someting to wear something. And that’s how I feel 1972 Mary’s styling looks like.

At least in the trailer. Idk what else they’re gonna have her wear.

From her hair, her jacket, the pin buttons, and the necklaces – some people were confused as to why she looks like she walked out of 1997 than 1972, but to me she’s still 1970s (especially because all aspects of 70s fashion from 1970 to 79 have been revisted in subsequent decades of fashion up to this day).

Her look is just not conventional, typical, generalized 1970s. To me they personalized her more to tell us her story.

Note, I’m not a certified fashion historian, but I do like fashion from the ‘60s and ‘70s a lot lol. I may get some things wrong, but this is just what I’m thinking. I know there are fans of this show who likely were even walking and talking at this time and may disagree with what i gotta say but whatever I’m gonna go for it anyway lol.

Also a reminder: this is The CW, not some period drama on HBO Max or anything.

Despite not having expertise in this area, just going off of the numerous vintage fashion video’s I’ve watched on Youtube, there are some things i personally always keep in mind when it comes to studying fashion trends.

Trends do not exist purely within the boundaries of a decade. The early 70s take with it some late-60s fashion trends, particularly the hippie/boho stuff but other things as well like jewelry and some hairstyles. Every decade bled into each other, and with the rise of fast fashion, trends can change even easier. Now, in 2022, you can’t really even pin down a trend because things just move too fast.

Trends didn’t often quickly permeate more isolated, conservative, or poorer areas of the country. The population of Lawrence in 2020 is estimated at just over 97,000. You can imagine it’s smaller for the early ‘70s. But these places didn’t often have people who played into fashion trends be it too expensive, extravagant, or just not having the resources to buy and invest in trends that would flip in a few years anyway.

Let’s start with Prequel-Mary’s hair.

Some said it looked too ‘90s or just not 1970s at all. But it is! Long, straight, sometimes messy-looking hair was indeed a trend for women in this time. It may conjure images of hippies for many, but it was also on other women. For me, Mary not having curls means to me that taking the time to curl and stylize her hair, and going in for trendy haircuts, wasn’t her priority. There are plenty of images, spanning multiple countries, of women at this time not doing anything with their hair, leaving it more natural and not having blowouts or curls. Also, since Carlos evoked the name of Janis Joplin, Mary’s hair also reminded me of her.

Onto Prequel-Mary’s necklaces.

Another thing that made people say she reminded people of the ‘90s were her chokers, but chokers are hardly a ‘90s thing. Indeed if you look closer at her necklaces [which is harder to do in non-HD lol] you’ll see they seem to be made of wooden or shaped shell beads, which was common at the time and a hold-over from the late ‘60s. They aren’t out of the ordinary at all, especially later in the trailer when we see her sporting one with some kind of pendant on it but still with what looks like natural-material beading.

Prequel-Mary’s leather jacket?

This was a little harder for me because the leather jacket combined with the vintage pin buttons felt very punk when the punk fashion movement is usually hard marked at 1974 and beyond. The prequel takes place two years before that, obviously. But, women wearing fitted leather jackets weren’t uncommon, but usually signaled that she was a “bad girl.” To me, just with the quality of the trailer, it indeed looks like a motorcycle jacket or just something simlar. Women in leather jackets became more popular with the rise of the Mod fashion movement in the 1960s.

It’s not a current fashion trend for someone of her age to wear that i think in 1972, but I imagine the costumer designers had their reasoning. Between the hair, and the jacket with the pins, they are establishing Mary as someone who isn’t following typical young women trends and societal expections. Basically, she’s living outside the “norm.” She doesn’t have time to look “cute” or fashionable. Who knows, maybe the jacket has some personal meaning to her.

I’m unsure if this is also influenced by her music taste lol. We don’t know enough about this Mary yet. Though, I do want to know what her pin buttons are really realyl bad lol.

Prequel-Mary’s t-shirt/under shirts.

This isn’t really something anyone complained about, and it’s because there’s nothing to complain. Young women wearing t-shirts and jeans were common throughout the 70s.

This tank top:

This is 1973 but:

The tanktop isn’t out of place at all. There are multiple variations of different kinds of tanktops and a scoop neck tanktop wouldn’t be out of place I think in 1972.

Prequel-Mary’s make up

I’m not going to get too into makeup because it’s harder when you don’t have actual fashion historians doing your costuming and make-up – idk if this show does but again it’s The CW, not a high budget period film. But also, being on TV, especially if they’re going to be shooting this with specialized lenses and the like... just in general, you need more make up I think on an actor.

However if we go off that ^ image above we can make out a peachy kind of blush, pinker lipstick but not overdone, thicker eyebrows, and just some eyeliner with mascara [maybe a little shadow but it’s not intense imo].

Given her jacket, her hair, and her apparent t-shirt and tanktop thing going on, I’m willing to bet she also seems to be the kind of person to put the least amount of time into her makeup. Obviously not every woman can be painted with the same brush -- we all decide on our personal style and if we want to care about trends and all of that, and if we want to follow societal norms, but a trend that followed into the 70s, also due to the women’s liberation movement, was a more natural look.

Compare this Covergirl ad from 1972 to Mary’s look:

It’s not too far off imo. Her lipstick is a little pinker but I don’t think it’s like, out of place.

Mary’s eyebrows I think are what threw a lot of people off because they are darker and thicker. If you look at fashion magazines at the time you’ll see a lot of pencil-thin eyebrows for the most “trendy” but her thicker eyebrows aren’t out of place.

To me (as someone with thicker eyebrows lol) it’s going in theme with her minimal make-up, little hair styling, and shunning of young women’s fashion trends at the time. She doesn’t have time or the need to go to a hair salon, get her hair layered and permed or put in those hot rollers. She doesn’t have time to go and get her eyebrows waxed or spend time in front of the mirror to do it herself.

She feels androgynous in a sense. A little more masculine than our 1973 Mary who wore embroidered cowgirl shirts and sported shorter, more styled hair.

I’m unsure if they’ll change Mary’s appearance once they hit 1973 in the show. I don’t even know when they want to hit 1973 in the show.

If anything, what i’m gathering from little comments from jackles he’s made regarding this show, it sounds like it won’t be told in a way we’re expecting so who knows what’s going to happen tbh.

But regardless, I love this Mary’s styling. I can’t wait to see what else they put her in!

My HCs about you:

You want a reptile pet (or any pet) so you can name it after a dragon

Work is work but it's something you genuinely like

I feel like you have a hipster??? Ish kind of style. I don't think you're a boho style person

You wore fake glasses when you were younger (like the 3d glasses with the lens popped out)

Out of all the jewelry you prefer bracelets

When you have a partner you are truly comfortable and safe with you wanna try the kinks you write about (as long as it's safe, sane, and consensual)

You prefer hard ass cocktails

Lol hope none of these are mean ILYSM ❤️

I LOVE THESE SM…. please the reptile one to call Drogon…. You didn’t have to call me out 🤣😭

work is definitely work and as much as I complain…. It is fun (the adrenaline is addicting) 😫

hmmmm not really hipster more casual/streetwear but I suppose hipster still? HAHAHAH

ONG NO I CAN GLADLY SAY I WAS NEVER THOSE bitches that wore fake glasses for the sake of looking “smart” 🤣

can I take all types of jewellery, I actually usually go for necklaces, but I really want to wear rings again… stopped for work 😭

if that partner is down to wear a blonde platinum wig…. I’m set 🤭

I LOVE COCKTAILS just keep it going 🍹

thank you for sending these in beans, I have the biggest smile on my face 🤣💓

ask game

Jewellery Trends To Follow For Different Weather

We know that every season, whether it is summer, spring, or winter, calls for something a bit different in jewelry trends, and we need to wear them according to the weather.

For example, in summer we want all cool, refreshing shades, but in winter we need sparkling crystals, and the monsoon inspires us to wear light-weight chain jewelry.

If you really want to follow the Best Online Fashionable Artificial Jewellery trends, be up-to-date with style to enjoy the joy of dressing with different patterns and styles of jewelry throughout the year to maintain a classy look.

It's true that our look remains incomplete without the right set of accessories and outfits. If you are in a hurry, then choose simple studs, gorgeous bangles, or a heavy necklace to complete your look.

Look in the full-length mirror, and you will absolutely find out what is missing to complete your look of the day!

If you’re a jewelry lover and want to dive deep into current trends, read this blog to get an idea about seasonable artificial jewellery in order to look trendy every day.

Summer Season

For the summer season, prefer jewelry that has a touch of colorful stone and is sea-inspired, like shell necklaces and pearls, to be all set anytime to attend pool parties.

For festivals, you can select a few charms and couple them with some base necklaces to wear a different charm necklace daily.

Summer is the season of warmth and sun rays, which is perfect for breezy dresses and boho jewelry to go funky and light.

If you want to look casual for a summer day out, you should prefer to go with Multicolor Tumble Bead Necklace and buy hand accessories online, such as a bracelet or ring, with a bright or casual top and jeans set.

Summer jewelry is all about giving a vibrant and cool look to complement the hot weather. And if you’re going for any family occasion, then a pearl or statement necklace might be your best pick as summer jewelry.

Fall/Autumn Season

If you love fall weather, then go with warmer shades of coloured jewelry like maroon, orange, dark green, or classic blue. You can also choose pearls and long necklaces to go with your high necks and blazers.

If you’re going casual or much into streetwear fashion, go for a chunky chain pattern or bracelet for a bold, chic look. You can also layer chains with other items to create a unique pattern.

And if you are going for a formal or party look, select a pearl earring to look classy and elegant with your autumn outfits.

Spring Season

It's the season of flowers that spread joy in the environment. Adding the essence of spring to our jewelry is the reason to celebrate this beautiful time of year.

This sunflower-inspired weather is perfect for classic diamond-studded earrings, and it is the most exciting time of the year with the departing winters and warm summer sun. It is time to experiment with dresses and jewelry.

We can say it is all about trying nature-inspired and floral-print jewelry designs. You can also try colorful bracelet stacks and earrings to be all set for this weather.

Winter Season

Winter can be a suitable time to select simple, lightweight, yet elegant jewelry to turn up your style game! For this season, earrings will be your best choice that we can hang on to with all the layering, heavy coats and jackets, or any type of winter outfit.

You can also keep large statement earrings in line with the hottest trend in winter fashion. I suggest keeping the comfortable piece and avoiding entangling jewelry with your outfit.

When you are confused about jewelry for a festive or party look, you can go for crystal jewelry to sparkle in the monotonous dimness of the winter season.

Jewelry and its different styles of accessories have always been a desire for every woman. Advikka.com has everything, and that is the first choice of many women, as there are countless pieces that maintain uniqueness and are available at a pocket-friendly price, which makes us the Best Jewelry Website Online.
