I just love the video, the song, the styling, her adorable and somewhat awkward movements, it's just absolutely perfect and totally inspiring! I actually found myself doing the little hops instead of dancing hahaha and I'm totally inspired by all her looks in the video, ruffled bathing suit, scalloped coat.. (not so much by the bathing caps) I hope you find the video and styling as inspiring as I do and thank you Rook for sending me the link!</i><br /><i>xoxo</i>

My rule for going crazy with the fluffy tutu's and sneakers? I keep my hair and make-up natural and don't wear any jewelry with it.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><b>2) With Boy friend jeans</b></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Sneakers go so well with boyfriend jeans, my rule for not looking like a boy?
