COLOR BLOCKING


It seems as though I am a bit obsessed with blue, black, white, black, and brown (Hence my previous and current post). This outfit is perfect for me to go to class in...

Pascal Grob...

Saw this on Fashion Bits and Bobs and instantly fell in love with her outfit... the shoes, the bag... all perfect.

I hate that I don't get to blog during the school year... Architecture is just so demanding. Thankfully there's a break...

GOT ONE HAND IN MY POCKET...
(Top, UrbanOutfitters Renewal. Jeans, Thrifted Gap-Men. Sandals, M.I.A. Bangles, Assorted. Purse, Abaco Paris.)
Dressed casual today to run some errands with my mom. We are seriously contemplating opening an online store. Today, I found some Oscar De La Renta snakeskin pumps at Goodwill and Sadly (for me) it was a size 6. Anyone interested? lol
Plus, I can't stop living in my M.I.A. sandals I bought at Nordstroms in NYC. I love them... they go with everything and incredibly comfortable. You will surely see them again lol.

PURPLE-NURPLE...
(Top, UrbanOutfitters. Skirt, Thrifted. Necklace, Thrifted. Shoes, MIA.)
Picked up this necklace at the thrift store. It's one of the most interesting necklaces I have ever seen let alone owned. It's snake-like and no matter how you twist the darn thing it still holds its form. Pretty cool... I'll have to demonstrate in another post some time...
Sorry about the horrific picture quality lol... storm clouds got in the way of the natural lighting thus... blurry photos...

ROXY MOXIE-TAGGED...
(Asymmetrical Top, UrbanOutfitters. Jean Jacket, Gap. Leggings, MaxStudio. Sandals, M.I.A. Bangles, Old. Sunglasses, RayBan. Bag, Abaco Paris.)

About a week and a half ago I was tagged by Miss Ellie (thank you miss ellie :) My mission: to blog 7 Interesting Things About Me.
  1. Roxy/Quicksilver: The summer before my freshman year of high school **cough...6 years ago...coughcough**, I entered a nation-wide Roxy/Quicksilver Design a Swimsuit competition. 25,000 entries were submitted and low-and-behold I WON! I will never forget that amazing experience and needless to say it inspired my love for fashion. (I would have scanned pictures, but I posted this 3am...enough said)
  2. Killing Me Softly: On my NYC trip, I sang a snippet of the Carpenters Killing Me Softly in a resturant. Nervous, you bet your sweet ass I was...fun, definitely!
  3. Architrave Magazine: I am an architecture student and completely love it. My work was recognized and published in an on-campus architecture magazine, Architrave. Here is a picture of the published project. The project is 4ft by 2.5ft made from basswood and all hand painted. Wish I could say more, but this post doesn't need to grow any longer than it already is. I'm soooo proud of it...
  4. Prom Queen: My senior year of high school I was voted prom queen. Three years later, I still have the crown... I'm waiting for the perfect outfit to wear it with lol.

  5. Tardy: I'm late to just about everything....EVERYTHING! I'm not proud of it... but it's the truth. My boyfriend loathes it.

  6. ANTM Moment: When I cut my hair a few months ago, I cried like a baby. It was quite pathetic... and funny at the same time. I call it my, America's Next Top Model moment.... the girls always cry when they get a makeover. I used to laugh at those girls... now I am one of those girls lmao. Oh well... I'm in love with it now

  7. I Lost My Pants: I have definitely had my fair share of embarrassing moments, but this one takes the cake. In 8th grade, I was playing basketball with all the boys on an outdoor court. Long story short... the ball went over the fence, I went under the fence to retrieve the it, when I jumped up off the ground... my pants+underwear stayed on the ground. Embarrassed... you bet my bare ass I was....

Next I tag, Olingue, Sol, Raez, Delmy, Damsels, Jules and Star.

**Sigh** I'm done...lol

POSSESSION OBSESSION...


I made this collage earlier today (after being inspired by THATSCHIC blog entry) and I have to admitt I am kind of excited about it. I love the way it turned out! But what really tickles my fancy are the items in it. Oh, if only I wasn't a college student whose every penny goes to the necessities (with a little guilty pleasure every here and there... and maybe here again lol). Anywho, these items are out of my price range, but that doesn't prevent me from coveting them any less...

DREE HEMINGWAY LAYERS...
I don't know if this was intentional but Dree's full name when said out loud kind of sounds like, "Dreaming away"....
I need to acquire more bracelets/watches so I can layer as well as she did.

Inspiration Perspiration...

(Blazer, Class Club. Shirt, BDG. Skirt, old. Oxfords, thrifted. Necklace, old.)
Braved the million degree weather with a black blazer today. Needless to say I perspired a little. Anywho, this outfit is Kate Lanphear inspired (loosely based of course, eclectic)...

At the Shore-line I'll Wait for You...

(Cardigan, JCrew. Top, Thrift ed. Skirt, Thrifted. Wedges, OldNavy. Gladiator Sandals, UrbanOutfitters. Clutch, Thrifted. Earring. UrbanOutfitters.)

Lately, I have been so inspired by Lanvin and Dries Van Noten, I had to pay a little homage. I found the yellow top and this charcoal skirt at a thrift store and immediately thought of this Lanvin look. The geometry is quite different but the colors are spot on (yay)! I also bought little-boy brown oxfords today and I can't wait to wear them. During the day I changed my wedges to flats... I can't wear heels for a long time... my dogs bark...LOUD!

Sorry about the picture quality... again. The sun has been hiding from us Floridians. I think the lack of sun may be the culprit, but I'm not completely sure. The picture quality from this past post turned out great (yep, same camera), so I'm pretty disappointed in my latest posts :(. Any suggestions?

Blue's Clues...

(Top, JCrew. Skirt, Gianni Bini. Wedges, Ralph Lauren. Bangles, Thrifted. Bag, UrbanThread. Sunglasses, Wolfgang.)
I don't really have much to say... so I won't.

Wrapped Up...

(DIY scarf turned crop top, Gap. Trousers, Thrifted. Scarf, Moms. Shoes, UrbanOutfitters. Locket + Purse, Urban Thread. Rings, BananaRepublic. )
Today was so beautiful; the weather, the company... everything. My roommate, Tracy and I went thrifting downtown. Tracy made off like a bandit with all sorts of thrited goods... I unfortunately did not. O well, it honestly didn't bother me because just trying on clothes was fun.
So I don't hate my camera as much anymore lol. I don't know what changed my mind, it could be because I am no longer using a tripod (I am home so my little brother is taking my pics hence the mini photo-shoot), or it could be the fact that I took the photos in daylight rather than artificial. I don't know but I think the picture quality is much improved, wouldn't you say?
On another note, I made the top I'm wearing. It wasn't a serious DIY (I'm all about the 2 minute DIYs lol). Seriously, the scarf is like 10 ft long and 2.5 ft wide, so I wrapped it around the twins and called it a day. It was the scarf I used in this post.
Thanks Visionary Butterfly for my lovely blog award, I greatly appreciate it.
RIP Michael Jackson
