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. ;)

What We Wore

Hello!! Its been a long 2 weeks. Midterms are over and I am now looking ahead to Finals and the next semester. I started a new job and have been called in a few days so, I have not been as active. I will try to be better about posting. If I am inactive on here feel free to follow me on instagram or twitter. I have been better about posting on there when I am not active on blogger. Any whoot! Dan and I were heading to Pet Smart on Sunday to grab our beardie a better heat lamp. Turns out its keeping him warmer. Yay! We took some pictures together. His were cooler than mine because of the hour we went out there. You can't ever guess how the lighting will be in the evenings now. I am so thrown off by the time change. (Yes even after a week, I am not adjusted.) Hope all is well with you lovelies. I will be sharing my midterm artwork this week for sure.

2 Ways to Wear Your Denim: Style Remix

Hello AGAIN! Today's remix is all about Denim. I got some nifty colored denim from Plato's Closet. (once my style secret) I wanted to remix it today and with the cooler temps I was able to. I paired it with a collared shirt and a vintage hawaiian print baby doll shift dress I got from Noirohio Vintage back in 2008. I love this print and this dress. I also got to rock my leopard print hat that I haven't worn in forever. I forget where I got that one. I am pretty sure I got it for Christmas or something of the sort.
-Here's how I wore it in a September Blog Post with an orange cardigan, floral shirt and boots.-

-And here is how I wore it today!-

So, your denim outfit doesn't always have to be a drab jeans and tee look. I am always looking for new ways to wear my closet favorites. You can dress up your denim and look fab in no time! Just find your favorite denim and a few of your favorite dresses then, match them together and voile! New outfit!

On another note I just got home from a lovely dinner with my darling. We went to get pho at our local vietnamese noodle house. Delish! It is always a good choice. Fast Service and delicious food for a great price. Here are the rest of my oufit photos and dinner date pictures.

Happy Wednesday!

Finally, I have officially received my grants for my last semesters in college! Yay! I'm almost done and I couldn't be happier! Hence, the picture below. ;)

A Spider Lurking in the Night...

Hello All! I have been a bit MIA because of school and other things that have been more imperative to my well being. I love blogging and sharing things with you all but my life has become a bit unorganized. So I took some time off to get back to work on assignments and personal affairs that have long needed my tender love and care. But I would like to share with you my growing love for illustration.

 I find that illustration with different mediums are quite the stress reliever for me. I have been working with pen, ink and watercolor. Although, these works were assignments, my professor did not specify what to draw how to draw it or what technique to use. Her words of choice were, "PLAY WITH IT!" And I feel that it truly challenges you to think outside of the box and try different techniques you've never tried. It also ties into my Adobe Illustrator class. Things I create on paper can and have inspired things I create for the web. I am really pleased and grateful that I chose to take these courses this semester because it is that special something that will define my work and set me aside from the rest of my competitors when I get into my field when I graduate. Here are a few of my works and what I've been up to. What inspires you?!

These are some of the gifts I received for my birthday from Dan and his parents. I fell in love with those cateye frames and cannot wait to wear them!

These gifts are from my bestest friend in the world Ashlee Elle! She crocheted the belt, bow and headband from scratch. She is so talented! You should check out her shop HERE! That romper is vintage and AMAZING! It was only $8. Can you believe that? She gifted me that on my birthday. Love her!

 And these are photos from birthday and birthday night with Ashlee and also with le boyfriend. Dan and I watched a crazy 60s japanese film with Sonny Chiba in a wicked role as an expert samurai swordsman. The Fall of Ako Castle is the name. Check it out if you have time.



And last but certainly not least, BARAGON! My bearded dragon friend! He is such a cutie pie and is so sweet to me. He has been really hamming it up lately with me. Maybe its the warm baths and change in his diet but his beard and mood have been less lethargic and more energetic. I love the little guy! <3 If you are still reading at this point I thank you for reading. Hope you had a lovely Tuesday!

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?
