Feelin' Blue

Jean on jean for many years was considered a fashion faux-pas. If you wore it, you were tacky and had no sense of style. Today jean on jean is on trend. For a couple of years I have been playing around with different looks.

Vintage Vest

Finding cool places to shoot  is just as much fun as picking out the outfit. Location creates a sense of completion of an outfit. I love driving around looking for cool places where I live and I saw this old roller derby rink that had the best chippy painted walls that were nice and bright. Abandoned buildings are the coolest because I love that vintage feel. I also just really appreciate being outdoors and getting to explore around my beautiful town!

Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.

Of course quoting The Devil Wears Prada is a must in spring. I must say that this outfit is a dream outfit of mine. The main piece of this is the beautiful Manish Arora skirt that is embroidered with beads and beautiful roses. I have also been lusting over these Isabel Marant lace up flats. They are cute with skirts, culottes, shorts, and dresses. They add a nice dressed up touch to any outfit. One day I will be able to buy pieces like these and be able to put together quirky outfits like this. For now,I will stick to making sets like these, dreaming about awesome outfits, and watching the Devil Wears Prada.

Vintage Fashion

  Going to garage sales is like an addiction now. I have been able to find the best clothing items that are vintage and even some good fashion books. The best part is that they are all very good prices! 

  First, is the black and gold vest. As soon as I saw this vest I was drawn towards it. It may look like I should have a monkey on my shoulder, but it is the cutest vest ever! It is made of a crushed velour, and has gold detail around the front, arms, and bottom. 

Deals and Steals- My vintage and new finds!

Last Friday I went to a garage sale that had closed out an estate. I had seen that they would have a lot of designer goods there and I am one of those people who loves name brands, but not the price they cost. I am quite thrifty and love a good steal. But who doesn't?? I had gone not really expecting to find anything that good, maybe some props for future flatlays. What I got was even better! 

First thing my mom and I found was an old alabaster lamp, that we got for a steal at $5. Then I found the fuzzy vanity chair hidden away under a table, that we got for $20. The chair is beyond perfect, as that is the theme of my next room. I want to go Hollywood glam, meets minimalistic color scheme. All neutral; beige, gold, brown, and soft pinks. 

The mirror, albeit too thin to actually use, would be a perfect piece to use on a table! This we also got at a steal of $5. You can place flowers on it, candles, it would be a cute centerpiece. The next absolutely amazing purchase was the Dolce & Gabbana heels. These shoes retail at about $500, I got them for $60. These are my first pair of designer shoes, and they had never been worn before! I'm so excited to wear these out soon. 

  

The last items, the guy gave us for free! The scarf is 100% cashmere, the two sunglasses, and some rings. Overall I was extremely happy with these finds. Plus, it was apparently my day of good finds. When I went to Anthropologie  to buy a mug, I also found a shaggy vest for $9.95, (yes, I said $9.95!) and some coated black Paige denim for $59.95. The vest was originally $148, and the jeans were $200 originally. 

  

These two items look so cute together, with just a white, or taupe t-shirt underneath and a nice chunky statement necklace, or if you like simple necklaces, just layer some up! 

It was a great day of deals and steals! Always check garage sales and local thrift shops, you never know what treasures there are!

 Let me know what great finds you have gotten recently or in the past!

Fun in the Sun

Overalls have been a huge trend to wear since last year. I bought a vintage pair at salvation army last year, but don't wear them out that often, I think it is because the legs and butt are super baggy, therefore not the most flattering to wear. Recently I bought this black pair of overalls at H&M on sale! I tried them on in the store and they were too small, and didn't have the size up, luckily they had them online so I got them. I think these are the perfect overalls because of the skinny fit in the leg and butt area. They do get looser throughout the day, but that just made them even more comfortable! It was such a gorgeous day in California yesterday, I just had to do a little more shopping and soak up the sun in my new overalls.
