Orange You Clad

Hello Lovelies! Yesterday, Texas finally started feeling a bit more like the REAL November that I know and loved in New York City. COLD! A Nice, breezy, cold front rolled in during the late afternoon which caused me to reach for my peter pan collared baby doll swing coat! I love this coat with all my heart. I feel like a little fancy lady wearing it. Also, on Monday I received my brand spankin' new BonLook frames in the mail. I ordered La Marquise in Tortoise and I have a winner. I've never glasses ordered online and I was so surprised & pleased that my frames fit so well without an actual try on. Also I lucked out on one of their coupon deals and scored a pair of prescription frames for only $75 buckaroos. Free shipping! I am in love with them. My dearest approved them as well which is great since he had no idea what kind of frames I ordered. Anyway, I had a lovely Tuesday and am having a fantastic Wednesday. I have been gone a while so fill me in on what's shaking in your neck of the woods! Cheers to all!

***On a side note, I have been feeling quite a bit of Holiday cheer already. ;)

Things I Want: Fall Threads

With the weather slowly cooling down and my realization that I have lost an immense amount of weight and cannot fit anything, I have been surfing the web in search of things needed. I want everything in the world but realistically speaking I can not have everything( there just is not enough space for that. I ordered a few things from Wholesale Dress and Ruche. I can't wait to get them and try them on! Also, there are sooooo many dresses I want from Modcloth but I will wait a few weeks and decide what I want because there are just too many things to choose from. Anyway, here are a few things I want/need.

So, I especially want that bell sleeved lace number, and the oversized sweater dress by UNIF. UGH! Just perfect for this fall with some fun tights. For the things I need tights and blouses are very sparse in my closet. For shoes, I had to throw out my old brown boots and need to replace my old ones. Hopefully, I will update this wardrobe disaster that is my closet. SO many clothes to wear but few that actually fit. :'{ What items are you in desperate need of in your closet?

At the Carnival

About the day!

Hello all! Today was a lovely fall day in Texas. A sneak peak at cooler temps and breezy afternoons today. Last night was also really breezy and cool. I really hope this weather sticks around for a while because I like it. I went to meet my best friend Ashlee Elle for a shopping date but to our surprise, there was a carnival at the mall yesterday. We ventured about the mall finding cute rings and things and then came out to enjoy the weather and the festivities. As always I had a fun day filled with lots of gufaws and giggles. I really love my bestie. She makes any trip to the store fun and worth while. 

About the night!

  Also, my other best friend/boyfriend Dan ;) went on a little night trip with me to the store after dinner. We had homemade ramen again tonight. We cooked it with beef, vegetables, garlic, green onions, ramyun noodles and two eggs on top. YUM!!

 Anyhoo, the walk to the store was the most terrifying walk of my life because a bazillion cockroaches were outside on top of sewer drains near the walk way. These creepy crawlers made me run for my life screaming. I seriously have a massive phobia of insects and crawly creatures. I know some people love them but ICK I can't even deal. I know they are harmless and obviously don't bite but they freak me out like no other. Anyway, I enjoyed my day and evening with two of the most important people in my life. Seems like things are looking up. Cheers!

About the outfit!

This skirt has some history. I wore it about one year ago in the spring time when I started my blog up again. I was in love with it from day one. I got it at Kohl's on sale with my employee discount at the time. I am so glad I kept this gem around even when I gained weight. I was determined to fit it again.  

Here's how I wore it in 2012.

Flashback:2012

I came across this picture from last Thanksgiving and I really don't look it in this picture but I was about 165-170 lbs. I can't even believe I lost that much weight. Anyway, I loved that darn dress so much but its huge on me now. :[ I will miss it but it needs a new home. I just listed it on Threadflip.com for $27. But for a limited time you can buy it from me personally via paypal and I can lower the price for my readers who are interested. Shipping is about 5 bucks usually so I don't mind lowering a little bit. Besides I like you guys. Enjoy your weekend and Happy Shopping!

Plato's Closet: New Pre-Fall Threads

Hello! Today was a busy day for me but all in all pretty good. I chose to show off my girlier side and wear eyeshadow, blush and lipstick.( No Foundation :D) Tonight, the sun set just a little earlier and the evening is starting to feel a little bit cooler. (Despite the fact that today was hot as blazes!) Any woot, today I bring to you a different side of my style.

Fall is a romantic season to me. I have always loved its magical touch. The cool autumn breezes and brisk nights call for delicate layers. But it is still too hot in Texas for layers so I settle for layered light materials. I stopped in Plato's Closet last night and picked up a few new fall threads which I shared on Instagram. Here is my first fall newbie. This piece is very dainty and sweet. It has tulle at the bottom of the lining that peeks out under the skirt half. I pretty much melted when I tried it on. This neutral color can be worn all year round and is versatile. You can pair it with tights, ankle boots and a thick knit cardigan or a sweet baby doll swing coat, tights, mary jane pumps and a chunky scarf to keep you warm later in the fall season. Or like in this post wear it in the cooler parts of spring/summer with wedges or a peeptoe flat. I am truly in love with this dress and cannot wait to remix it later on in the fall. Hurry in to your nearest Plato's Closet to find yourself some cutesy fall pieces.
**Remember neutrals and darker colors can go a long way this fall. Happy Wednesday!

Massive Vintage Haul Overload & Purchases from Chicago

Sorry for the delay! Alas! Here are all my items purchased in the past week. This first batch of photos are all of my purchases in from before and while I was on vacation. But its gets even better! *Drum roll*



VINTAGE!VINTAGE!VINTAGE!





Tada! All new wonderful and insanely vintage items! I went out with my Boyfriend's mother and sister and we found a ton of things while thifting. Not to mention this last Friday I went back and found those lovely lavender loafers, the bamboo printed blouse, Betsey Johnson inspired dress, and loads more. I am finally content with my clothing collection(for myself that is) and now I can focus on my items for sale! Speaking of items for sale I will be posting more shoes and dresses for sale on my Ebay. So look out for that.
This afternoon was lovely and my darling was kind enough to cook me dinner again! This time from scratch and with a recipe book. I am soo proud of him. He's been cooking and cleaning and doing laundry and not leaving things on the floor or around. I don't know what's gotten into him but I LIKE IT! And of course I love him. So in closing I had a bad ass week/weekend and will be back to the daily grind this week. Until we meet again!
