chele's couture paradise ♡: summerween cow-gal!

hi dolls, and welcome back to paradise!!

i've been home from school for around two weeks (i go back on friday, not happy (╥﹏╥)) and i've been speed-running hanging out with my friends! two of my friends put together a summerween party and i had a BLAST!

let's start with my coord, i didn't bring a crazy amount of clothes back home since i'm only here for a short time (unfortunately), so i went with a white tube top and my favorite pair of low rise shorts!

coord details:

top: older no boundaries

necklace: hello angel girl

shorts: natalia paris jeans

belt: probably shein? keep in mind i bought this over 5 years ago when i was still a teen, definitely not a recent purchase 😅

hat: borrowed from my friend :3

the party started later in the day though i got there an hour late cause my friend and i still had to get supplies haha. most of the time spent was on food prep and catching up. my friends made 3 pizza doughs but there wasn't corn meal on the wooden thing that transferred the pizza to the pizza steel (? whatever its called) so our first pizza was Definitely Something... it flopped off of the wooden thingy and it couldn't be recovered. our pumpkin turned into a blob </3 therefore the last piece of pizza had to be split in half so we can still get cute pics. i was still willing to eat that pizza ngl but it got sacrificed to my friends family lol.

our poor pizza... moments before disaster

we also had frankenstein chips and guac, s'mores (my fave!! i would've torn up like ten of them if given the chance), candy in a halloween bucket, lemonade in cups with jack-o-lanterns drawn on them, and carved watermelons as deocration! we also had candles and i was SO scared something (especially my hair) would catch on fire HAHA so i kept an eye on them.

closeups of the table!! everything was soo perfect :)

we closed the night by watching a movie! we wanted to watch the gravity falls summerween episode but it wasn't available on anything but disney plus/amazon prime for rent and no one had that. i would have offered if i had any prime credits left but i soooo didn't unfortunately.

we watched fear street part 2 instead! it emcapsulated the vibes PERFECTLY and it got me interested in the whole franchise, so props to them! i like horror movies but they're usually either not scary or i get mildly scared. fear street part 2 had great buildup and the GORE. YES. sometimes i wanna get jumpscared and other times i wanna hide from the screen! this movie had a perfect mix of both and i'll probably watch the first and third movies when it actually becomes halloween time :)

speaking of, in my opinion, fall is a really strong contender for best thematic season. i'm very biased towards summer since its hot, i can go to the beach, and i hate winter/being cold (despite being a smack dab middle of december baby lol), but come on. just the pure idea of 2000s fall romanticizing and halloween already give fall a crazy edge by like a LOT. i'm from new england and we have the best fall by a long shot, which makes it even more memorable. i took it for granted not gonna lie, the dmv just doesn't have the same fall vibe :'/. not to mention it gets cold so i can't even wear my cute fall outfits to class since its 30 degrees when i leave and 50 by the time i get out of class, so not even a proper 60s or anything I HATE YOU CLIMATE CHANGE!!! the latter half of the year has the BEST most insane holiday lineup, the halloween to new years run just isn't/can't be replicated through the rest of the year. probably why the rest of january through april feels dead asf (unless you're in a couple LOL!).

here are more pictures to end it off (mainly me lol):

i followed a magazine tut for my make! unfortunately it was from miss appropriator supreme ran, i used to be super obsessed with her and her make! i recently got the november 2025 issue of egg magazine for an insanely cheap price (i bought it within like 15 minutes of posting LOL i was NOT letting that slip), and it had one of her make tutorials which i recognized immediately from pinterest! what i like the most about the way she did her make was that there was more emphasis on the lower part of the inner corner and the top was more or less barely lined/not lined at all!
