My style : 4.17.2013

[Cosette, me, and Joon]

Back in April we hit some unseasonably hot, HOT weather.  Luckily the heat didn't kill everything that was growing in our back yard at the time, and of course the dogs loved it.  Me?  Not so much.  But at least it got me into the mindset of thinking summer and starting to plan wardrobe options.

I've only worn these leggings two times, but that will be changing soon now that the hot weather is back and summer is pretty much officially here.  I found them on Sourpuss Clothing back in early March and I'm really glad that I made the purchase.  They are very similar to a pair of BlackMilk leggings that I had been swooning over.  I still plain to own a pair of theirs one day, but these were a more wallet friendly option.

Trying to play catch up a bit on my day off!  Taken this past weekend which turned out to be much more quiet than I had originally planned, but this is not a bad thing.  The weather was chilly, but not cold like it had been so I opted to just layer like mad.  A little frumpy, yes, but I was comfortable.

Breakdown:

Converse cardigan

Shark bite tunic from Forever 21 forever ago

Skull lace shirt from a bargain rack(!)

Decree skinny jeans which I still get elephant knees in...

My Style : 2.9.2013

[Love this new high-low skirt]

[Forever awkward]

[Joon wondering what we're doing]

[This happens a lot]

[Joon at 6 months]

I love seeing others "Outfit of the day", or "What I wore" posts, but sometimes when I try to share my own I feel just slightly awkward.  I've been trying to scope out a nice place in my home that I can use to take such photos, and yesterday the corner by the front door seemed like a nice place to try.  I couldn't find my tripod so Jeremi stepped in to help me out which only made it harder not to laugh and then there was Joon wanting her "face time" as well!

Outfit breakdown:

Thrifted black ruched sleeve shirt

Body Central striped high-low skirt(I love this skirt!)

Doc Martens Samuel 10 boots

Anatomical heart from Jeremi and put on a necklace that I made years ago

And just a little PSA - Don't forget that Walking Dead returns tonight on AMC!  Are you excited? ;)

I'm alive!

It's been a while since I've been here.  Though probably not missed, I did miss my sharing here, as sporadic as it was.  As with everything ever, life gets in the way sometimes and I let it.  Nothing bad, but just the every day things.  Even though I've not been updating here I have always had my camera in hand to make sure I document as much as I can, and my phone for that matter for doing the same with instagram.  One of my new years resolutions is to keep up with this much better than I did in 2012.  For those of you who have stayed, Thank You!  Like I said, I try to always have my camera with me to document so the next few posts will be mostly photos and few words.  I kind of like it better that way.


I hope that the holidays/every days where kind to you and I hope that 2013 is magical!

Breakdown:

dress -  forever 21. Several years ago and it's staple for me.  Very easy to layer and looks good with anything.

black shorts - spring street

purple iris tights - Target

shoes - Rampage

scarf - rue 21

purple lucite skull ring - Masks Y Mas in Abq, NM

I wore this on what felt like the last truly hot day of the summer.  It's been a tough one this year with the heat, and then the humidity doesn't help either.  Summer, I think, is when I mostly miss living in the desert because it's all dry heat and no humidity.

That being said!  Here in Virginia, we're now approaching(finally!) the days where it stays under 80 degrees with little to no humidity!  Fall is definitely on it's way and I couldn't be happier!

[manicure for the day]

I say manicure For the day because I was lazy and didn't bother adding a topcoat.  So of course by the next day and my job, I had some pretty major tipwear and just took it off.  That is not to say that I didn't love this polish.  It's Sephora by OPI's 212.  I know it's an older shade, and to be honest I'm not sure why it took me so long to try.  There is a lot going on with it - flecks, flakes, and micro holographic glitter!  I'd say a perfect colour for Fall with the flecks catching a gold, and the flakes on the blackish brown base looking like fallen leaves!

my style: sunglasses

[perfect sunglasses are perfect]

my style: 02.29.2012

the morning of the 29th started out dark and rainy and perfect.  the afternoon turned soo windy and bright, but still perfect.

[back at shawn and gwenn's.  this vintage doll caught my eye]

we spent our new years in charlottesville, va this year.  it was a nice way to welcome in what i hope to be a wonderful year surrounded by amazing, and wonderful people.  maybe things will work to where we get to see them more this year....?

i think a new year's resolution of mine that might not really be a resolution is make time to do more of the things that i enjoy.  no matter how small it may seem.  oh, and to invest in a new pair of boots... yes.  ;)

[freshly cut and re-touched 12.21.2011]

and i know i am a bit behind in this(surprise!) but i was able to sneak a decent photo of my hair after it was done right before christmess.  it's a lot more hair than i'm used to, but i dig it.  i think i'll like it even more once the sides grow out more and it gets trimmed up again.

it's been awhile since i've shared photos of myself.  i'd like to get more full body photos of outfits and the like, but i always get so awkward when people are taking photos of me that aren't really candid.  it makes me wonder how i ever did any of the modeling that i have in the past..sheesh!


lately i've been totally taking advantage of being able to find proper, and solid colour over the knee socks.  it's nice to have that extra layer, especially with the confused weather that has been happening here in virginia lately.  


and i'm so very excited for next wednesday!  here's hoping that i can start to cut my hair into the shape i want.  siouxsie-a-la-peekaboo-with less fringe?  we'll see!
