INFLUENCE

"For the first time in my life, I'm in complete control of my destiny. Like everything you put out there for the universe to see, it all comes back to you. I'm finding out that taking my life to the next level is all about discovery. Being aware of the world around you requires you to pay attention to everyone and everything. But in order to stay grounded, you have to stay true to yourself."

Whenever I am going through life changes or even just lounging around and am in need for a good read, I always turn to Mary Kate and Ashley's book Influence. Everything the book contains is an inspiration for me. The quote above is the Introduction to Influence written by Ashley.

This quote word for word applies to my life right now and how I feel towards it.

This picture is a mimic from the book. MK(Mary Kate) is on the left MK(Marissa Kathleen-Me) is on the right.

It was strange because I bought this tan rabbit fur jacket before reading this book and noticed that Mary Kate had almost the exact same one.

MY LONG LOST SISTER

The last time I saw a picture of Zoe Kravitz was a few years ago in Teen Vogue.

I randomly came across a picture of her today and I was in shock.

Her fashion sense is so on point.

I see myself in her and I think we could be long lost sisters, cousins or friends.

We own a lot of the same pieces( the same fox fur piece, ray bans, acid wash jeans, bohemian headbands flannels, highwaisted shorts etc.)

She is definetly Mer-worthy.

Seeing her has given me the confidence to rock the bohemian headband with the fringe. (Before I was unsure if it looked haute)

She seems like a fashionista with a flower-mermaid child heart. Just like me.

So beautiful.

They're all impatiently waiting for the move.

ONCE UPON A TIME

Once Upon a time.......

I, Marissa Kathleen Schindler(MK) created a new blog.

The reason this occurred is because a lot of changes were going on in my life and I wanted a fresh start.

The reason for my new blog name FASHION MERMAID is because that is what I truely am at heart.

I also am moving from my city MIAMI to go back to school in Upstate New York( Hello NEW YORK CITY,TORONTO and MONTREALyou will be seeing me often)

I wanted to take a piece of the Ocean with me in all my future fashion and life endeavors with my move. Even though I will be visiting friends here, my sister in San Diego and my other sister in Europe within this next year, me and the Ocean aren't going to be seeing eachother as often as we do normally.

Plus my room always looks like a Sea, with all of my Fashion pieces from my closet floating everywhere.I of course am the mermaid of my room with my long flowing hair.

I really really hope that with this new blog we can all....

Live Happily Ever After!

(AND THIS IS NOT THE END-ONLY THE BEGINNING!!!!)
