Up where they walk, up where they run, up where they stay all day in the sun.

\nI think Ariel was talking about Hawaii in that song. Well that what I think when I’ve been singing it while prepping for this look. When I was a kid I got really into Beanie Babies. Like REALLY into them. I bought and sold those suckers like they were high ticket stocks. Buy! Buy! Sell! Sell! I actually made so much money that I was able to cash out early and pay for exchange trips to Brasil and Finland. I come from a long line of weirdly obsessed collectors. It’s a thing. My mom was way into collecting pretty much anything that was collectible. Our house was like a museum and spent most of my childhood fear I might break pretty much anything I touched. I suppose that one of the reasons I relate to Ariel so much. We’re both collectors. But the connection runs deeper, we’re both women forging our own paths against what our respective cultures tells us is status quo. Ariel is the Disney bad ass and I am here IRL blonde counterpart.<\/div>\n

I took a little liberty with Ariel’s look because I feel like it’s what she would have wanted, if you know she was actually real. I am wearing a metallic “Shell Yeah” imprinted tank<\/a> purchased from asos, paired with a sea foam green stretchy pencil skirt <\/a>from Amazon. Underneath I am beach ready with an amazing jelly fish print bikini<\/a> from Swimsuits for All. For accessories I rocked a metallic clam necklace I picked up here in Hawaii, a pair of super comfy sneaker style flats<\/a> from Target’s collaboration with Sam & Libby, retro inspired white shades<\/a> from Charlotte Russe, a five below beach tote and\u00a0 a sea urchin looking hair accessory I purchased somewhere in the dark depths of the internet.<\/p>\n

\"Plus<\/a>For make up I kept it super simple. I dotted the face with some sunscreen because\u00a0 I am preventing a future of leather face.\u00a0 I let my sunglasses carry my attitude and added a pop of pink on the lip to as a nod to Ariel’s rosy lips. For my hair I rocked her signature side hair part with straight hair. I used my “sea urchin” barrette to sweep my bangs out of my face and up my sex appeal. Turns out wearing a flower on the right side in Hawaii is a public announcement you are single and ready to mingle. So I wore it there, because I am.<\/p>\n

\"Plus<\/a>Overall the look was sassy and fun and oh so mermaid with an issue following society’s orders. Also this photo is the closest I will ever come to a wet t-shirt contest. Enjoy it. I look good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
