Sweet Pea

I'm trying to document my style and what I wear on a day to day basis. I even opened a Chictopia account as well in hopes I can get "out there" more. It's worked.... I get most of my comments on Chictopia than I do on nothing but a pigeon. It's opened the door to meet new people that I share common interests with. You also get to link your blog site to Chictopia so they can follow you as well. Here is the last fashion post that I put on Chictopia. It was pretty cool because I got 6 comments (which for me) is a big deal when you are just starting out. The mister took these pictures of me up the street in a vacant/undeveloped lot that was covered in sweet pea blossoms. It was such a nice day and I felt inspired with all the blossoms this spring. 







I hoped you enjoyed my fashion post. Please let me know what you think. You can follow me on Chictopia as well.

Shake your Hips and Roll your Eyes

I'm friends with a lot of very talented women.... Mandy Bustamante is one of them. Not only do we work together but we also both share a love for fashion. Mandy is a makeup artist and has worked on many local films here in Austin, Texas..... let's just say she really knows her makeup and does a fantastic job. She is the one that taught me how to wear fake lashes. Mandy is the best and this won't be the last post with her in it. Mandy has recently started her own blog nestled in nostalgia. Yea Mandy!

In this Post is wearing my favorite skirt of hers... I do believe it's from ASOS. She is always dressed to perfection. We had an adventure trying not to get muddy in order to get onto the tracks. It worked out and thank God we didn't have a "Stand by Me" moment. Here's what I captured....






Jacket Old Navy
Skirt ASOS
Shoes Lucky Brand

Tell me what you think... I would love to hear comments.

XOXO

Vintage in Ohio

There is one thing I love more than Thrifting.... it's hunting for Vintage clothing. Trinkets and treasures for miles and miles. Vintage clothing, hats and shoes galore. The musty smell of the past, the hand made dresses. I love it all and my sister Taryn knows it... which is why she took me to an old favorite that I have went to before in Ohio. One of those random vintage stores that know one recalls the name is but knows where they are located, in old town Clintonville Ohio. Lets see some photos....


Ties and books galore....


Actually Mom has some of these pots. Never knew they were valuable.


Love hunting through dresses... it relaxes me as weird as that sounds.


Tons of treasures as far as the eye can see.


I could stay here forever and live in the moment.


I love Lamp.


Me in the reflection.


How can anyone consider this trash?


So many stories behind all of these objects.


I want it all.


These where extremely huge... hmmmmm.


scarves


I don't even know what to say about this corner...


Hello?


This must bring Taryn back to her good ol' band days in High School.


I must seek the perfect vintage dress!


Cute machine


I would definitely cook in this for the Mister.


Looks like Moms...


Trinkets.


Keys and such.


My vintage mini suitcase that I purchased.

There are more adventures to come with Taryn and I and my trip to Ohio.

Let me know what you liked about this post.

XOXO

Here comes the sun little darling.....

This Saturday was the most amazing weather. The Mister and I took full advantage of it. I've been feeling a little gloomy lately and Matt suggested that he take pictures of me for my blog. What a sweetheart, he knows I love to play dress up. This shoot was taken in our backyard. We have many wild flowers that pop up every spring. They are so beautiful. This is what The Mister captured.





Spring is here and I can wait to experiment with more outfits. 
Please send in pictures of your favorite Spring outfit

XOXO

Blog of The Month

Another fine blog...... Cake Spy





I was introduced to Cake Spy by one of my friends Trish Benford. I saw a little water color painting of her dog Gary with cupcakes in her home and just adored it. I thin got on to the website "Cake Spy" and feel in love with the creator Jessie Oleson. She is super talented and has managed to make a name for herself at such a young age. Checkout her awesome site for yourself.





She also sells other items for the kitchen.....



Oh and also yummy recipies!

I hope you enjoy her site as much as I do. 

Cheers XOXO

Peek-A-Boo

All my friends can tell you that I'm obsessed with socks and shoes. I don't know why or how to explain it. It started a few years ago... I usually wear dresses and or skirts with wedges. Maybe it started because I'm too lazy to paint my toe nails, whatever the reason it's cute and I'm sticking with it. Here are some examples of how to wear them. Take a look.


This is nice because it's all neutral colors and the pants are rolled slightly into a cuff which lets you see just a glimpse of socks.


Again the neutral colors are all working together and they are not pulled all the way up, they are slouchy in the right places.


More of a bold baby doll look. It can be sexy and innocent at the same time.


Pretty in pink.



                                                       

glitzy


This look is my favorite.... love the shoes with or without socks.


Pretty and delicate.


Grey on Charcoal

I hope you enjoy socks and shoes as much as I do. Let me know what your thoughts are.

XOXO
