Warwick Avenue

Hello all! I cannot get enough of Duffy at the moment. This outfit is wholly inspired by her style from her 2009 album "Warwick Avenue". Everything except the umbrella and belt was thrifted. Funny story! The skirt worn in this post is actually the first skirt I ever wore/posted on my blog/lookbook in 2010. Oh, how I have changed since then. To be honest it feels like 50 years ago. Today has been quite rough for me. I have been feeling extremely weak and tired. I was suffering from migraines all day long and finally took a nap. I started feeling a lot better after that. Then, I had some dinner and found the energy to actually do my eye make up and at least look better than I feel. It seems like it worked. I felt better afterwards. :D I went for a smoky eye and some mascara no liner with a bold Russian Red lip by MAC. Hope you lovelies are having a good first day of the week.

OUTFIT DETAILS:

Striped Top: Thrifted(H81 @F21)

Vintage MIDI Circle Skirt: Thrifted(old)

See how I wore it then.

And here's how I wore it today.

Showboat Drive-In: It's Intermission Time

For almost a year I have been itching to drive out to this Drive in movie theater in the countryside. I've never been to one and want to experience it before they're all torn down and all we have are memories of it. So, my one request of my boyfriend this year was to ensure that on my birthday night we go to the movies. Lucky for me Riddick just came out so I had an extra boost at convincing him to take me. We had a quiet dinner at home. We cooked tuna steak on mix greens salad with spinach and ginger dressing. YUM!!! The weather was perfect and gorgeous! We got to take pictures before the sunset. I wore this beautiful 60's vintage dress that I got from Fancytreehouse ages ago online. I haven't been able to fit the bust because of my weight. But, to my surprise the week of my birthday I tried it on and it FIT!!!! It was truly meant to be. All of it. It was like a dream. I had great fun. Also yesterday, Dan's parents took us out for sushi! We had fun chatting about silly stories, playing with all of his mom's cat's and laughed. They got me a Hello Kitty plushy and some new cateye frames that I am dying to wear this fall. I fell in love with them immediately. I am so stoked. Anyway, I hope you lovelies had a wonderful weekend. What adventures did you go on this weekend?

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!

Fanciful Friday

Hello! Today, I have been getting myself ready for classes on Monday and such. To be honest looking towards my future scares me. I have been at this for so long and I am ready for my journey to be over and start my career as a graphic/web designer. My boyfriend and I discussed a ton of stuff about how we will tackle our dreams and futures together. This really makes me happy that we will work together to make our dreams reality. And there's nothing better than knowing the one you love will be at your side and not just leave you in the dust when times get tough. Anyway, here is a "later-blog" post of an outfit I wore this week. I went for an end of summer look a bit simpler than my usual attire. It was soo hot and I was ready to go get some food so I threw this on with some gladiators.

Back to Black

I've been seeing all these back to school blog posts and I start classes next Monday so I guess this is appropriate. I miss Amy Winehouse and this dress made me think of her. :'[

This outfit was almost completely thrifted. My blouse was a find from this lovely lady from my old job named Janis. She did not want this shirt anymore as it was too big for her but I loved this print and the oversizing wasn't an issue. So I got it from her for FREE! :D The dress and boots were thrifted as well. My hat is from Target and sunnies from LoveCulture. Below are the rest of my details from this outfit.

My awesome photographer making a wonderful face. I promise he is much cuter and adorable when he isn't making this face. Love him!
