So I've come to the conclusion that I'm a terrible blogger.. sorry about the extended absense. School.. and just life tend to occupy my time these days. Hope you guys are doing lovely. Here's a dress I bought recently from a thrift store. The belt is thrifted as well.

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wasn't able to enjoy it completly. Heartless professors assigned tests over the break, so that's been lingering over my head the past few days. Anyway I bought these whimiscal pants from a cool thrift, that closed down now, for $1. I've never seen anything quite like them.I bought the fur coat about a week ago from a thrift store also for about $15. Which was a fairly decent price considering it's real fur.. Ahhh, what would the world be without thrift stores.

New Obsession

2009-11-18T17:31:00.000-08:00

I just happened to be searching through youtube for hair videos (it's a natural hair thing) and i came across this band called the Noisette's. I watched the video, Now and Then, and loveddd it! I started to dig a little deeper and I found that the lead singer, Shingai, style is AMAZING. What I love most about her is that she seems authenthic. Her style is very funky, yet feminine. Very similar to mine. She's defintely my new obsession.

As I was browsing through her photos, I noticed that she has a blazer very similar to one I have, if not exactly the same. I bought mine from a thrift store in town for about $5.

School is taking over my life, again. What's worse is lately I've been completly uninspired. I have a strong desire to tear my room apart and start my wardrobe over.. lol. We'll see if I ever get around to it.

Style meets Personality

2009-10-04T17:02:00.000-07:00

I adore the edge she has... yet still very feminine. Amazing.

thrifted dress

For those of you that are curious, yes I went natural. One of the best decisions I could have ever made, I feel completly liberated. I've had this dress in my closet for some time now and had absoutely forgot about it.

target dress, vintage jacket

Couple new things I cut my hair. It's incredibly short.. but I love it. Also I have had the best of luck thrifting these past few days. I found this jacket a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with the studs and fringe. Defintely will be a fun fall piece.

No belt, no dress. I wanted to be sure I show that belts, blazers and dresses aren't all that I wear, lol. Is it just me or did summer FLY by.. I can't believe it's almost time to start fall semester again. Oh well time to start working on my fall wardrobe :)

I've been insanely busy this past week. It felt great to sit back, relax and get sucked into fashion land. Two very exciting upcoming events : Transformers 2 (super exited lol) and Beyonce's concert next weekend near miami. My first real road trip with the girls. Pretty excited.

Never Ending Road

2009-06-09T20:52:00.000-07:00

Today I took a little road trip. No particular destination... just driving. I've never just wasted gas like that, and will never do it again. I know, very random.

Fashion is so much more than just cloths. It's a form of art.

Here is a little something I wrote the other day I figured I'd share it.
" You May Never Know"
Some days it gets so loud.
I swear I can feel every heartbeat
ringing,
pounding
sending tremors through my tiny structure.
Rattling my knees, making every step an
unsteady,
painful memory.
Looking over my shoulder thinking
"I know they hear that.. can't they see it?"
I don't get to close.
I'd rather they not hear.
But I can't help but wonder,
does the silence make you uncomfortable?
Daydreamer, indeed,
but those blank stares are so much more.
Reflections of scattered pieces of what never was,
what was supposed to be,
and what could have been
reflect off deep dark brown eyes.
The same eyes that look at these heavy feet and carry around this heavy heart.
I'd rather you not get to close.
- Me

After class today I had time to stop by a couple of thrift stores. I found soooo many great pieces! These bottoms are one. They were $1! You can't beat that... The shoes at the top were a dollar also. Karla from Karla's Closet wass the inspiration behind this ensemble.

Fact: Tripods are a gift from God.
Today I purchased my first, and I'm not quite sure how I lived life without one.
I had a very uneventful memorial day... how was yours?

I've found some FANTASTIC jumpsuits at the salvation army (similar to Goodwill). This one was about $10. I have a couple of ideas in mind about how I'm going to wear it. I kind of like it on it's own though, it doesn't need much.

Today was chilly and windy. Florida's weather can be so unpredictable. Anyway, I bought these lovely Jessica Simpson shoes from a consignment store for 10 bucks. The stores here aren't that great, so my first stops are always goowill, salvation army, thrift stores and consignment stores. I'm also very cheap and I refuse to pay crazy prices for things that are just not worth it. Being a college student limits me a bit also, lol.

Goodwill top, F21 jeans

I've been so busy with school and work that I'm still amazed that I was able to take a quick picture before work. Anyway, I snagged this top awhile ago and it's been sitting in my closet waiting to be loved. It reminded me of a lively garden lady, lol. It was colder today than I thought it was going to be so I wasn't able to wear the shirt the way I wanted to. For some reason I saw it being worn with high waisted shorts. Well I will experiment more with it and post it later. Life is Love!!
