Airplanes & Rainy Days

sweater: F21 (from 2 years ago) tank: Old Navy, jeans: levis, boots: vintage (from No Relation Vintage in NYC)

I feel like I am always talking about the weather on here, actually, I know I am. It's honestly the main factor in what I wear that day. I don't want to be too hot or cold or get caught in a storm unprepared. It's rainy and cool today, so I'm wearing a three-quartered length sweater with jeans and boots, big surprise. I promise I wear more than jeans, I haven't been much in a skirt and dress mood lately, which is really odd.

Did any of you go shopping this weekend? I didn't feel well, so I stayed home and shopped online and I am almost done! Earliest ever! I'm usually done a day or two before Christmas, but not this year! What amazing deal did you score on?

I made these two bracelets from a bass string two years ago. My friend Gina and I were visiting another friend who worked at a music store in the town where I attended college. A bass string broke while we there, and I took the string and fashioned these two bracelets out of it, he soldered the silver for me, since I didn't work there/didn't know how. Voila!

Good luck "Cyber Monday" shopping!

Thanksgiving Surprise!

My uncle who lives near Hershey, PA gave my family this today. It's 2 pounds! Oh my goodness! I hope your Thanksgiving was amazing! More style/fashion-y posts to continue this weekend.

Summer in November

Ok, November I really don't understand. 80 degrees during Thanksgiving week? Umm...ok. That's south Georgia for you, I guess.  I opted for a season appropriate colored skirt, and shoes with a basic white tee. 

tee: Fruit of the Loom (yeahhh!) skirt: American Apparel, moccasins: UO, necklace: gift

Tomorrow, I'm attempting to bake a pumpkin cheesecake for my family's Thanksgiving festivities on Thursday. Oh, goodness I'm so nervous about it! I have always wanted to learn how to make one, so here is my chance!

Boutiques.com

I mentioned this site in my last post, boutiques.com. It launched last week and I think it's great, especially when you are searching for a specific item, like a party dress or a black boot that fits your style. You answer a few questions about colors, silhouettes, and designers that you love and hate and Voila!  Instant clothing that you'll probably die for!

I discovered these Diane von Furstenburg hats on boutiques.com a few days ago and fell in love! I feel a D.I.Y. happening before the year's end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Thursday

Shirt: Target, Necklace: F21, Jeans: Levis, Shoes: Bass Weejuns

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Shirt: GAP, Tank: BDG, Jeans: Hudson, Necklace: F21

These are from yesterday, and The Beatles are now on iTunes as of yesterday. I feel like everyone who wanted to listen to The Beatles could have just bought a cd cheaper in store compared to iTunes or pirated it like the rest of America. (Note: I do NOT endorse pirating.)

Blazer: Goodwill (worn 3 posts ago) Boots: Frye Paige cuff (worn several post ago)

I'm going out of town tomorrow for the weekend (Harry Potter midnight showing!) but I am going to try to keep posting while I am away. I think I can manage.

Skeleton Key Necklace given by Maggie, Shirt: Woolrich

Dressed-Up With No Where To Go

The past few trips I've made to Atlanta, I've bought these two dresses.

Vintage & Handmade from Rag-O-Rama

 This vintage wool dress reminds me of a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress.

Yellow is Gold by Sunshine & Shadow from UO

This wool strapless dress is timeless.  Now, I just need to gain the social life these two dresses require or just throw sweaters over them, pair them with boots and go about my business.

Prep School Days

It's so warm today! Thus, no tights.

Blazer: Goodwill (little boys section) Shirt: Converse One Star (via Plato's Closet) Skirt: UO

Loafers: Bass Weejuns

Rings: F21 & tourist shop on Tybee

If you follow me on twitter, you've probably noticed me complaining about my brown nail polish (Essie's Little Brown Dress) and how I'm not sure if this relationship was going to last. Three days later, it's still on my nails. It's turned brown-er over those three days, it just appeared to be an odd black for the longest time, now me and my little brown dress nails are happy.

Happy Friday!

The Not-So Secret Garden

I'm bacckk! House sitting in Atlanta was fun, it was cold, I was sick and I hung out with a friends that I haven't seen in a while, and they were all boys! Ridiculous.
Here's what I'm wearing today.

Top: UO, Cami: H&M, Jeans: Paper Denim & Cloth Natalie, Shoes: Tara Subkoff for Espirit, Bag: Lucky Brand via Buffalo Exchange, Ring: Marc Jacobs Lola

This top has a really sweet lace pattern on the back.

It's really warm back in south Georgia compared to the temperatures in Atlanta. I'm sure that's why I'm almost well. I love cold weather, but my body doesn't.

Dead Leaves On The Dirty Ground

bToday was the first day cool enough to wear boots and a cardigan! Excitement! Warmth! These photos were taken in a section of my backyard.

Cardigan: Goodwill, Shirt: Target, Jeans: Paper Denim & Cloth's Audrey, Boots: Frye Paige Cuff

Necklace: F21

  I'm off to Atlanta tomorrow to house sit and hopefully find a job. Wish me luck!

I leave you with some funky fungi that was near-by. It is really cool!

Zombie!
