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?

Rain, Rain Go Away

Hello! Its another rainy, cloudy, gloomy Sunday. Feels like painting and illustrating weather. I think I am just going to nest today. Also I am getting a cat today! A Devon rex breed. I have allergies and this is my first trial having a cat. I'm nervous, excited and all mixed up because it's new territory for me. I love cats so much and never was able to have them as a child because my mom has allergies too. So, I really hope this works out because lord knows how long I've wanted a cat. In other news, its been rainy all weekend. Yesterday, I woke up to a cloudy morning so, I took pictures from my garage. I didn't want to get caught out in the pouring rain. Surely enough, while I was shooting it really did start raining! Hard! Thank goodness I brought my umbrella down with me. In the pictures below you can see when it started raining and started coming down hard. If you are having bad weather, stay dry and be careful out on the roads!

Blogger Spotlight: Melodic Thrifty & Chic

Hello Friends! 

Photo Credit: Shop Style Conquer.
 

Today, I am hosting a blogger spotlight for a new blogging pal I found in the blog-o-sphere.   Anna Martin of Melodic, Thrifty & Chic. She is so unique and lighthearted in conversation.

I am happy to say I made a friend with similar interests. She started her blog in 2011 and has been featured on many social style networks like ModCloth Style Gallery, Chictopia and many more. She has a neat shop on Store Envy and Etsy, where you can snatch some of here quirky finds and loves. She has an eclectic yet retro style direction which comes across smashingly on the internet. This lawyer turn fashionista has great potential in the blogging world and is making her way up the ladder. I got to interview this wonderful lady to get to know her better and share her little corner of the web with you all.

Enjoy!

1. What inspired you to start blogging?
Anna: Two friends of mine wouldn't stop hounding me until I did it. Haha. I basically started the blog to appease them.

2. Where are you from?
Anna: Midwest

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Anna: Jamaica - that's where the majority of my family lives and I would want to be close to them.

4.What is you favorite item to wear in the fall?
Anna: Over-sized cardigans. The lumpier, the better.

5.What are your favorite TV shows(if any)? Films?
Anna: Right now, it's all about Dexter, Breaking Bad and The Newsroom. I'm waiting impatiently for the new Ghost Busters movie to come out as well as Enders Game.


6. What social media outlet do you feel works best for building your blog community?
Anna: I would have to say Chictopia. It's the first social media tool that I started using when I created my blog and it has really taken off in terms of blog hits and followers in the 13 months that I've been using it.

7.What is your favorite online clothing store to shop with?
Anna: I have so many. It's really hard to choose. I would say it's a tie among ModCloth, UrbanOG and TIL Darling.

8. What styles inspire you?
Anna: The styles that inspire me are the ones that are a little off-kilter. I like to see people doing unconventional things with patterns, shapes and colors. The more outside the norm, the more attention I give.

9. Name five of your music faves at the moment.
Anna: Letherette, FM Attack, Casio Kids, Body Language & Com Truise

10.What is your main focus in the coming year?
Anna: To make the two friends I mentioned earlier proud. :D I just want to focus on quality content for my blog and do the best I can at letting people know who I am and what I'm about. The worst thing for me is being misunderstood or mischaracterized by people who don't know me. So, I feel like it is really important to be transparent. I've also made a lot of great friends through my blog and I'd like to continue to use my blog as a way to keep up with them. Hopefully, I can make some sales from my Etsy and Storenvy shops along the way. The funds raised from my shops will help make my dream of teaching law abroad a reality. =] Thanks so much! - Anna

Check out her blog and I promise you won't be disappointed!

Twenty-Five Years.

Hello all! Yesterday I turned 25 years old. Quite a milestone for me. I have changed so much over the years and I feel it has been for the better. I've become a little bit wiser, stronger, and driven to build my own happiness through hard work and enjoying my life to the fullest. I am so lucky to have wonderful people in my life who care about me and look out for me. My best friend and I went on a thrifting excursion and enjoyed our undeniable love for PUMPKIN MUFFINS!! This has been a tradition of ours for as long as we have been friends.(And that's a long time) She got me the cutest romper ever(pictured on instagram), and some handmade crochet accessories. I find that over the years we have become increasingly picky with our choices while thrifting. It's a blessing and a curse. Sometimes we don't find anything at all and other times we find golden treasures to add to our collections. I had a blast. I also got to experience my first drive in movie theater experience and that will be on the blog tomorrow. Ashlee posted an old picture from back in 2008 when we saw Eisley live in Philly.
What a flashback! I look so different yet I look the same. Back in that time I would not be caught dead in a dress and now I have no idea how many dresses I have. I guess its all part of growing up! What's your favorite birthday memory?

Outfit Details:
Harbor Arbor Dress: ModCloth (Birthday Gift)
Belt: Thrifted
Knee Highs: Dollar store
Olive & Brown Brogues: Ross
All Day Disco Sunnies: ModCloth (Birthday Gift)
Ted Baker Watch: Present from my dearest boyfriend.
Pumpkin Muffins: DUNKIN DONUTS (YUM!)

School is in Session!

Hello all! I started back to classes yesterday and I already have homework. So instead of procrastinating I am actually going to do it.

Hope you are having a wonderful week!
