L.A. LOVE | Kids Choice Awards 2015

all photos and video shot using FUJIFILM X30 

I just did that thing that you do after a trip where it sounds like you're sighing but you're actually just exhaling all of your pressure and excitement and whatever airplane air was still stuck in your lungs. You know what I mean. The last five days have been crazy. Crazy fun, crazy busy, crazy eye-opening, and crazy crazy. I can't wait for you guys to see all the things this last week has set in motion. It's going to be awesome. BUT FIRST -

LEMME TALK ABOUT THE KIDS CHOICE AWARDS. It was so weird to pack up and head there knowing that this was my SECOND one. I felt like an old hat. A glitzy, selfie taking old hat, but an old hat all the same. I wore a fire Element Eden dress and my beloved Moheda Toffeln clogs, and it was the perfect outfit for a day that had even the most weather hardened natives dripping. I got to see some old friends, make some new ones, photobomb 5SOS, talk to Iggy, compare accents with the Janoskians, selfie with Kevin James. You know, the usual. HAHAHAH we both know I was freaking out. I documented everything for HuffPost Teen, and you can click here to see the whole shebang.

Besides not getting slimed, there was something else on my to-do list for this particular trip: visiting Suburban Riot. The name might not be familiar to you just yet, but I'd be willing to bet money one of their products is:  kale sweatshirt. That's right. The one Beyonce wore in the 7/11 video. Mhmm. They were nice enough to invite me to visit, so I swung by to pick up some snazzy pieces for future outfits. Dance skills not included.

But lets be honest, none of you want to see me dance any more than you've already had to.

see you in the selfies | KIDS CHOICE AWARDS 2015

It's time to go back to where it all started: the Kids Choice Awards. 

That's right, tomorrow,  March 28th, I'm going back to the orange carpet to bring a splash of sparkle and a smattering of selfies to the slimiest of  shows. Expect serious dance breaks, important questions about fandoms and eyebrows, and me not breathing regularly for approximately an entire day. I'll be documenting the whole thing LIVE for HuffPost Teen on their Instagram account (@huffpostteen) starting at 2:30pm PST/5:30 EST. Be there or be an annoying half face selfie.

Last but not least: 

If you throw slime at me, 

I throw a wooden shoe at you.

BIG ANNOUNCENT//sparkles and slime

Once again, Dylan O'Brien is displaying my emotions for me.

I'm sitting here reading my posts from past years of Nickelodeon award shows

 and alternately laughing my head off/wondering if I've peaked.

I suppose I'll figure it out Saturday...

ON THE ORANGE CARPET.

That's right, 

your favorite award show commentator is headed for the carpet itself.

 I'm going to be bringing a splash of sparkle to the slimiest of  shows.

And I'm very excited.

Both about going and that line, which was definitely a 10 pointer.

I'll be on the carpet for HuffPost Teen, 

so expect some serious laughs,

 very important questions about selfies, 

and the occasional dance break.

Disclaimer: If anyone throws slime at me,

I'm going to throw my shoe at them.

xx,

Justina

PS. make sure you're following me on instagram + twitter or you're going to miss all the fun

That oufit is just asking for slime.

Ok, so normally I would NEVER write about the Kids Choice Awards, for the same reason I never write about the MTV Music Awards. They kinda freak me out. That neon orange carpet, green slime everywhere..yeargh. And plus, they aren't very fashionable.  But this year, I am making an exception, because there is some credit that must be given. So lets talk about what the birds were wearing, shall we?

  

Katy Perry

This could have been cute if the skirt matched the top and shoes, and if that ..whatever it is on her head was melted down into some chunky bracelets.

 Selena Gomez

 I did not like this outfit. I'm sorry, but there was just too much going on, and that belt is awkward, and the shoes don't match any of it. Plus, her eye makeup looks like someone punched her. Not one of your best moments Selena..

 

Kristen Stewart

I am not a fan of Kristen Stewart, her movies, or the way she usually dresses on the red carpet, but she actually managed to pull it together and shape up this time. No complaints.

 

Emma Stone

Oh Emma. Emma, Emma, Emma. WHY!?!? WHY would go blond again!?!?! I just..can't. Blond makes her look so...washed out. And this outfit is not helping. Red hair back please. 

 

 Madison Pettis

Right. Ok, let's talk about this outfit. Or specifically, lets talk about all the things I DON'T like about it. What you are looking at is a 13 year old girl. What she looks like is a  25 year old. This dress is too tight, not age appropriate, and too short. The rest of this..ensemble is just accomplice to the crime. Normally, I love Madison. And I'm not a prude when it comes to clothes. But this really just isn't classy.

 

Sarah Hyland

And here we have a reverse problem. This is a 20 year old who looks twelve. Sarah is so pretty, and I actually like this dress, but that hair is killing me.

Victoria Justice

This one has potential to be a great outfit, but I'm not sure about those shoes. I probably would have gone towards cute flats. And what is up with everyone and the flat hair?

 

Jennifer Stone

I genuinely like this outfit. I might have had solid orange shoes rather than..um..alligator skin? But it does work here, so yay for Jennifer!

 

Keke Palmer

Uh...no. Someone lose their prom dress?

Points for the ah-mahzing hair though.

 

Isabelle Fuhrman

I run the risk of sounding like a broken iPod, but I love everything here but the shoes. And I only dislike them a little bit. For her first time, she did a brilliant job.

 Willow Shields and Amandla Stenberg

What you are looking at is two 13 year olds. What they look like is two 13 year olds. I commend them for dressing their age, (Remember Madison?) and looking fabulous while doing it. Amandla's dress and shoes were gorgeous (as always), and Willow just looks so cute!

Ariel Winter

 Another beautiful girl, in a beautiful, (AGE APPROPRIATE) dress. Nothing to say but sunshine.

Gracie Dzienny

So, this one was a bit short for my taste, but Gracie pulled it off AND IT WAS SPARKLY!!! I even like the shoes! I can't wait to see her on a red carpet..

 

Miranda Cosgrove

 What am I even supposed to do with this? It's SHINY. and she's wearing WELLINGTONS. 

So anyway, the whole point of this was for me to tell you that not dressing your age makes you look silly. And to not wear wellingtons. Or prom dresses. 

Even if you ARE about to get covered in slime.

xx,

J

p.s. I know it's really dorky to admit this, but I get excited when y'all write comments. Keep it up.  

p.p.s Thank you to yahoo for the photos.
