Mandarin Orange

12:47 PM
I've been sick for an entire week and only just left the house today. How nice the crisp air feels! To celebrate the momentous (for me) occasion, I wore this elegant Chinese print dress. It fit very weirdly when I first received it so I've altered it with my meagre sewing skills. Now it looks nice and slimming and I'm quite fond of...

Girl With the Golden Gun

11:46 AM
I instantly fall in love with floral anything, whether in fashion or my art. Since the dress is very girly, I decided to add some edge with the BOY hat and lion / gun accessories! It's a good way to brighten up a cloudy rainy day, right? Dress: H&M (buy it here for just $15!) Shoes: Promise via Sheikh Lion necklace: Body Central...

Tango Zebra Tango

2:52 PM
Stripes are such an almighty trend this season... on Saturday I went to Forever 21, and half the upstairs was a sea of black and white stripes! I have a love / hate relationship with stripes. I love the boldness, but have a hard time finding a pattern that is flattering. I always end up looking like a hugely fat vintage prisoner! Alas,...

Late Summer Greens

2:07 PM
I love green dresses because they are so fresh! To go along with the nature theme, I paired my beloved floral heels. I'm like a happy bouquet today. I fell in love with this clutch from Deux Lux. It was $65 at Lucca Penn Square, but luckily I had a gift card! So this brings the clutch cost down to $0! And the...

9.11.2013 / Have Courage. Stand Firm. Be Brave.

1:55 PM
I made this graphic for the day and would like to thank anyone, anywhere on earth, who fights evil. People who protect the innocent and stick up for those weaker than themselves. Who instead of sitting back, going with the flow, walking towards certain doom like blind sheep following blind sheep; stand up and do something. The people who do what is right...

Little Boy Blue

1:15 PM
I'm in a tomboy mood today. I love simple, well-fitting button-up collard shirts... they make me feel so cool and fancy. Both my shirt AND shorts today are from a thrift shop. I sewed them both to fit me and I love them! Are you in love with this bowtie? You should be! My uber-talented friend Lindsay created it. Check out her bowties....

Sweet Style: Think Pink!

12:11 PM
Tuesday after Labor Day is always a drag, so I made today exciting by wearing this brightest shade of pink and floral heels! I think it made my day happy. I even finished a colorful painting, which you can see here! (It sold just a few days later... holla!) The heels were a little more expensive than most things I buy, but I...

Sweet Style: Lemondrop

10:59 AM
My neon addiction drove me to snatch up this pretty little summer dress as soon as I saw it on the rack at Target of all places! Isn't it wonderful? The colors and fun polka dot pattern put me in a happy, summery, lemonade-ish mood. Sweet! Dress & belt: xhilaration via Target. Heels: Merona via Goodwill. Earrings: Forever 21. I found these shoes...

Tiger Bomber

11:44 AM
Today's look is airplane-ish I suppose because of the orange "bomber" jacket and these utterly fantastic British paratrooper wings which I've made into a ring. If you notice it's a "King's crown" and not a Queen's crown, indicating that they are quite vintage indeed. They were a wonderful gift from a friend... one of my treasured possessions. I blagged the shirt-dress from E....
