I received many “elf” comments from my loving family, apparently that’s what my shoes give the impression of. I, however, love these booties from  Rugged Warehouse :)

night night!

Layers and layers and [...]]]> here in VA, the weather was just GORGEOUS today! I leave my house early so I bundled up against the frigid morning air, but by afternoon the sun was out and the wind was blowing, it was a beautiful 68 or 70 degrees today. I can’t get over my love for fall!

Layers and layers and layers of clothes! ok not so much today, but I had some layers going!

The scarf is actually another one of my aunties, she just has the BEST collection of scarves/shawls. They really are just so beautiful and unique. I can’t get enough of them when the cold months make their way around agan. The jeans are actually brand new, I bought them at Forever 21 yesterday. I usually only go there for jewelry but I strayed from that section and moved onto the clothes! They’re actually stretchy jeans with an elastic waiste! I am a HUUUUUGE fan of leggings, since I just can’t stand the stiffness and restrictions of jeans. I’m not trying to do summersaults or anything in them, I just like to be comfy, and leggings are so comfy! But I have this thing about wearing a short shirt with leggings, I feel almost naked, like my butt needs to be covered. Ha. But with THESE, they still have the back pockets like jeans do so I don’t feel so exposed. And they still look and feel like jeans. Genius!

As I said before,  I made my way over to Forever 21 last night and got like 4 pairs of earrings. I love their jewelry selection! Here’s the pair I sported today, in honor of the fall season, they have leaves!

well ladies (and any fashionable gentlemen who read our blog) I’m getting ready to watching some Friends – best show ever – and maybe some design stuff. I FINALLY finished the three day project of switching out my summer clothes for my fall/winter ones. Such a big task, but glad its done. I now get to look at all my pretty sweaters and jackets :)

until next time loves!

SO MANY RUFFLES!

It’s totally rare, but there ARE fun things found at places that aren’t thift stores :) This outfit is all Forever 21 item NOT bought at Forever 21. Pahaha. The dress is from Papaya (a place I’ve only been in about twice) and turns out I found it in Forever a couple weeks later. These shoes I got from Rugged Warehouse and they’re also Forever 21, super great deal!

Alrighty then…it’s time for me to get crankin’ on design stuff. I always tend to do the stuff I don’t HAVE to do first (aka GRACE AND LACE) although design IS fun, so I’m headin’ to do that!

Spendin’ time with polish while she packs :) LOVIN’ IT!!

Oh I’m going to miss her…but this Sheila is gonna have an AMAZING time in the far and unknown (to us)  Australian land, so excited for her!

Love her a million times over…she’s one of a kind!

Hope you’re having a memorable time spending the night with someone you think is just too cool!

love love and love.

these shoes are one of [...]]]> So tonight I FINALLY got to hang out with two girlfriends I haven’t seen in FOREVS…I’ve missed them SO MUCH! We met up in the City and had some yummy Panera. Such a great time catching up…it was well needed! YAY for fall and friends coming back for the semester :)

these shoes are one of my favorites! Got these Keds from Unique thrift store and they’re just so great. Simple, cute, and they go with most anything:)

Goin’ over to Polish’s house later to help her set up for her yard sale…can’t WAIT! Mazimizing my time with her before she becomes an official Aussie, I’m so excited for her!!!

until next time :)

I woke up early, had coffee with a dear friend and work wasn’t too slow. I love it when the day just seems to float on by, while I sit at work, listening to my headphones and working the time away.

When 5 o’clock finally came around, I high-tailed it over to [...]]]> Today was a good day!

I woke up early, had coffee with a dear friend and work wasn’t too slow. I love it when the day just seems to float on by, while I sit at work, listening to my headphones and working the time away.

When 5 o’clock finally came around, I high-tailed it over to my FAVORITE thrift shop, Unique, to meet up with another dear friend, Jessica, and do some thrifting on VIP Thursday!

She snapped a few photos of my outfit in the parking lot, so I could share with you all what I threw on this morning at 6 am!

I figure I’ll try and squeeze shorts in for as long as I can since summer is dwindling to a close and on will come fall with its leggings and layers. So I wore my favorite pair of high-waisted jean shorts, which are actually NOT thrifted (shocker, I know) and are just so comfortable-something that I can’t say for most things jean. The plaid shirt I got from the biggest thrift store I’ve ever seen in Texas while visiting my sister (it’s true what they say, everything IS bigger in Texas, including their thrift stores)

Raybans are from New York, and the earrings are from Forever 21. I must say that Forever or 21, however they want to be called, is pretty much my favorite place to shop when it comes to accessories.

HAD to include a pic of my new TOMS. They are my pride and joy, I’m so so happy with my purchase! They have writing on them that says, “If the world was a village of 100 people…”, then it goes on to say how the population would be when it came to things like diseases, poverty, etc. From an activist stand point, they’re really great ways to get the word out on the poverty in the world. And from a fashion stand point…well….I mean, just look at them! They’re epic!

There’s a special place in my heart for TOMS shoes, first because of the fact that it started out in Argentina and that’s where my family is from! These shoes are classic Argentinian style and when I visited there about a year ago, I saw SO MANY PEOPLE wearing them. It was really cool. TOMS is just such a great way to make a difference in someones life for not so much money, while also getting something I enjoy.

I got some fabulous finds at the thrift store tonight, probably will be posting about them soon! Until then:)
