A challenge for the girl who will wear almost...
So I watched this movie, “Ladies and Gentleman the Fabulous Stains” which kept my attention based on the leading ladies outfits. Most of them are centered around a pair of black tights and french cut black briefs. That is all she wears on the bottom half not a touch of fabric more. I was in love right away with these fearless outfits. However I feel my bottom half might not be ready...
Just a little creepy
Not a usual post for me but I just had to share. This was left on the wind shield of my car the other day. It is an index card colored hot pink on one side with a highlighter and then in black marker these words were written. I was pretty creeped out when I read it but saved it anyway. I’m sure it was just some crazy person wondering the streets and not for me specifically but it still made...
Monday Funday?
When one wakes up on time on a Monday it’s cause for a celebration. By celebration I of course mean it’s time for a cute outfit. Today is such a Monday for me. I have been wearing tight bottoms for months now and decided that I would pull the old wide leg, high waist jeans out of the closet. I took the cuffs down yesterday so the inseam would be an exciting 37”. Next I pulled a...
PJ party
It seems everywhere I look these days I’m seeing this men’s PJ trend. Pretty much every magazine I picked up in the last month has a huge spread on it. Silky vintage men’s PJ’s worn my beautiful ladies. I really love the way this look is posh and cozy all at the same time. Plus with the weather heating up (soon I hope) the breathable fabrics and soft prints are perfect. These men’s pieces are...
Friday number 3
So on this Friday I will be attending a 30th Birthday for a good friend of mine. Seeing as she has always been one of my favorite party friends I figured I would wear a party outfit! Sequins scream party and all of you know it. Since it is a house party I figured I would cool it down with a basic white tee basic black tights. I wore the strappy black plat forms because they are easy to walk in,...
Legs, legs, legs
As I told you all I feel like wearing these days are tights and leggings. The ladder has been more challenging to to find. Being a taller lady (five foot eleven to be exact) the leggings at American Apparel are simply not long enough. The inseam on the AA leggings must be no longer than 28 inches! What I need is about 33 or 36 inches if I want them to bunch at the bottom (which I have yet to...
Oh No!
I really don’t like people telling what to wear, and so don’t really feel to good telling others what to wear. But I do have to tell you all one item not to wear, at least not in public. Sweat pants my friends sweat pants. Or sweat suits equally as bad if you ask me. I mean really ladies and gents. If you are rolling around your area or going shopping in sweat pants please stop. It...
Got to have it!
Usually I would not even bat an eye at the J.Crew web site but this is worth at least to looks. Silver, shiny, and with a little floral bit at top. I’m going to start trying to branch out a little this year and it will start when I own this dress!
Happy Hearts Day!
I’m very sorry I was unable to post yesterday, as it was love town day. Gross I know but unavoidable. I would like to take this chance however to share with you the beautiful shoes I received from my lovey. He really outdid himself and I am very lucky to be his lady. Both of these shoes were bought at Nordstroms, I mean really how could you go wrong. The First pair are black and white shiny...
Friday Friday Friday!
So since my work outfit was not anything earth shaking, I have posted my evening outfit! The skirt is a vintage ESCADA leather skirt I got a Good Will for only $6.99! The tank is from Urban Outfitters from last year. The stockings and the sweater are also from Urban Outfitters. I’m feeling good about it all so let’s hope my night follows in toe!
Gift Me!!!!
If I had one wish for a gift, this would be it! I really want, no, really need is a feathered headdress. Maybe not as big as the ones in these photos but definitely similar. The perfect color combo would be black, white, orange, yellow, and of course turquoise. One day it will be mine even if I have to make one myself!

Can't Spring Come Already?
Usually in my beautiful little city the weather is quite fair. This year however, we have gotten more snow than I have ever seen here. Although beautiful at first I for one am quite over the whole thing. Besides making transportation a nightmare I can’t wear any of my cute open-air shoes. I have been itching to wear my vintage floral carved platforms since last spring. I found these...
Dirty Dancing fashion inspiration?
Although this film might seem dorky and mushy, I actually found some good outfitting ideas. Baby the main character is so awkward it kind of hurts and in the beginning dresses like a half-wit. But as the story develops so does my interest in the clothes. There are crop tops galore!!!!!! Yes crop tops. Most of the tops are tight and fitted to the body with a vintage appeal (since the...
Spo-Compton is not all bad.
Although I had no high hopes for my weekend trip to Spo-Compton I must tell you I was pleasantly surprised. Never in a million years did I expect to find some fashion treasures east of the mountains. My boyf has the sweetest mother and this weekend she very generously gifted me 2 vintage mink wraps. The wraps were given to her by her aunt a long time ago. Fur isn’t really her thing so she stored...
Cheap Monday or Cute Friday?
Back in my school days I had a big thing for dressing up just a bit more on Fridays than any other day of the week. It always made me feel good which usually made the day turn into a good night. I recently decided that I should probably restart this little tradition in order to make the Friday happy hour come more quickly. So each Friday I will be posting what I wore to work. Today’s focus...
Portland you've won me over!
A couple of weeks ago the boyf and I traveled down to Portland, OR for the weekend. I had never spent much time in this fair city and was excited to explore the shops. We were down there on a bit of business so I knew I would have to sneak the shopping in. While waiting for a table at the Screen Door for brunch, we strolled down the side streets. Our friend Kelly pointed out a cute...
White Hot!!!
As I looked through my tops today I realized something shocking. Every top I have is black or white! When did this happen? I’m usually the queen of color. But lately while browsing through shops only these basics have been standing out to me. A white tee or tank seems to go with every outfit that pops into my head. My new favorite is the Unisex Viscose Sexuali tank from American Apparel. It goes...
