Scarf: Cashmere Pashmina from Prague (it’s my all-time fav)

Dress, Belt & Boots: Thrifted

Wow, it’s been a while since a) I have posted and b) I have gotten dressed! Okay the latter point is a little pathetic, but embarrassingly oh, so true. I have legit reasoning though. Well first of all I am in Virginia and if you haven’t seen the news, I am covered in well over 30 inches of snow. This mere fact allowed me to stay in the same leggings and flannel for 3 straight days. I sacrificed hygiene for comfort and loved every minute of it. Secondly, I am working from home now and I technically sit in my PJs all day. I will not allow this to happen, however temping it is. ha!

I’m trying to show off my new boots. A fab $5 find! Also, please excuse the hat hair- a girl has gotta keep warm! :) Good to be back!

Grace & Peace,

I am madly in love with the rose detail in this skirt around the waistline. It’s so elegant and sweet, and believe it or not, I found this treasure at Rugged Warehouse!! That place is certainly growing on me :)

and now for the tattoo talk.

I am seriously considering getting a bouquet of vintage flowers (roses quire possibly) on my upper, outer thigh.  Here’s some lovely inspiration :)

I’m hoping I dont chicken out, but only time will tell. This could also be a monstrous tat, so the big bucks will have to be saved up to get a good one!

YAY!

until next time loves!

growing the hair out can be SO ANNOYING! I’m a person who LOVES change, and to have made the decisions to a)grow out my hair and b) keep it to my natural color (no hair dye involved) has been toturous, not to mention boring! I’m dying to do something drastic, maybe instead I’ll just get a tattoo. I’ve been thinking about it a lot! I’ll share some ideas and inspiration soonish!

love,

curls!

Seasons Greetings! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas & New Year! I have been home for the holidays and while home I have a tendency to stay in my pjs or sweats all day. It can be depressing, so going forward I will be getting dressed each day. haha- that’s kinda sad for a 25 year-old to be saying, but to quote Outkast, “I’m just being honest…”

Anyway, I rummaged through my sister’s closest for an outfit for a family Christmas. I chose a colorful skirt and accented it with the greys of the striped shirt, wool blazer and silk/lace belt. Yes, it may have been texture overload, but it was a fun outfit. I loved the lining of the blazer, so I rolled the sleeves and added to vintage earring on the lapel to substitute a broach. I wore patterned black tights, red flats and topped it off with a bow barrett.

I can’t tell you where anything is from, except the blazer. It’s J Crew.

Wishing you the best in 2010!

Grace & Peace,

Excuse the wrinkles please. haha. It was at the end of a long (but super fun) day with one of my BFFs in Indianapolis. Coming back to the states to face winter was quite the adjustment! All my clothes are in boxes in my brother’s basement… good thing I got a couple winter garments in Oz to hold me over as I transitioned.

Cap: Thrifted

Dress: Cotton On (Aussie Store)

Tights: Have had for years

Boots: Bakers (last year)

It’s my first weekend back in Northern Virginia and I was suck in a snow storm!! Not quite the 95+ weather I was used to! I was quickly reminded that dressing for colder weather is harder. Well, not hard… there are just more layers and body parts to cover. haha. Well, legging are my new best friend because besides the one pair of jeans I brought to Oz (that no longer fit- I don’t want to talk about it. haha) my jeans are buried in a box somewhere. sigh. Oh well, such is life. At least I found my boots… and yes, the salt from the sidewalks really brings out the gold buckles… or not! Oh winter, I am not sure if I like you anymore.

Flannel Top: Cotton On for $3 (There was a tear in the back and I talked the price down… and a few stitches later I have a wearable shirt)

Leggings: Cotton On $7.50

Boots: Bakers (last year)

In this outfit, I am wearing one of my favorite scarves, thriftes, along w/ my favorite flannel, thrited and a jean vest also thrifted. The belt worn at my waist is my favorite black braided belt (an outfit must for me), which is thrifted (shocker!) The striped tank is from H&M forever ago, the leggings from Walmart and the boots DSW. The bag is a new addition to my thrifred canvas bag collection and it’s my new favorite!

That’s all for me tonight, hope your weekend is magical!
