October 20, 2009: A Quick Dose of Punk

2009-10-20T18:06:00.000-07:00

It's been nearly 2 weeks and I'm still horribly camera-less. Ai yi yi. You all really have no idea how much I'm dying because I'm unable to blog and post pictures. Therefore, I took the liberty of using the crappy camera on my phone to take some outfit pictures.

Sweater (worn as dress): New York & Company
Camisole: Morera
Belt: Brother's
Leggings: Wal-Mart
Tights: Betsey Johnson
Boots: Nine West

I guess they'll have to do for now. Hmm?

At least you can see the intricate detail in my tights, which is pretty amazing in itself. The color/pattern seen is actually a pair of beehive-patterned tights worn over pink leggings. I am definitely going to keep trying this with different colors.

Oh, and say hello to my new boots. *drools

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts. I've been stuck in a bit of a fashion rut lately but I'm slowly trying to get out of it. I think it was the drastic change in weather that caught me off guard.

October 1, 2009: Boot Hunt / Lockerz

2009-10-01T18:50:00.000-07:00

Happy October everyone! While I have no outfit post for you today, I do have some (maybe) interesting things to discuss.

First order of business
I'm on the hunt for a new pair of boots.
And I am asking YOU guys for help.
Therefore...

Do you have any suggestions as to where I can get a great pair of boots? Preferably over-the-knee and under $100.

I know that's a tall order, but let's see if you guys are better budget fashionistas than I am ;)

Second order of business
I have Lockerz.com invites.
What is Lockerz you ask?
Well, in a nutshell, it's a website where everyday, you can earn "PTZ." You can use these PTZ to redeem some really cool prizes.

To see the list, go here.

While it may seem too good to be true, there are pictures of people actually receiving prizes. It takes them a while to restock when they run out, however.

In a nutshell...

Lockerz.com is invitation only and I've got invitations! So if you'd like to join, just comment with your e-mail.

Have a great day/weekend everyone!

The rain is pattering softly against my windowpane as I type this and earlier today, the wind was bitingly chilly. It seems fall has waited a few days before making itself known to all.

Not that I'm complaining. It gives me an excuse to pull out my fluffy white blanket and sleep curled up in it.

Longest entry title I have ever used I have to say.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I just recently got a cold that is killing me *sniffsniff* and have been very busy as of late.

As for this awesome leather coat, I originally wanted to wear a shorter leather jacket, but seeing as how I couldn't find one, I figured that this would be a great enough substitution.

Hint: If you have broad enough shoulders and want to wear a jacket that is too big for you, just roll up the sleeves and you're good to go!

All the comfort of leggings in polished, beautifully constructed, darted pants form. Love these so much.

I ordered a bracelet ring and I'm impatiently waiting for it to arrive. In the meantime, I improvised by using just a regular necklace chain and wrapped it around my hand. Worked like a charm.

On another note, a Geek Squad guy at BestBuy complimented on my shoes today saying, "I like your shoes. It reminds me of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz."

...

Of course I spazzed out and thanked him profusely.

First day of senior year today. No one's changed much and I don't think it's quite hit any of us yet that this is our final year of high school. It's crazy how fast time flies.

However, I did notice more girls wearing high heels today. I find it amusing seeing as how people used to tease me about always wearing high heels and asking how I could walk in them.

Gotta love the boyfriend for somehow reading my mind and getting me this cool-ass watch (I was surfing the web just yesterday for one!) that also matched my bag. It meets my requirements of a) having a large face and b) being obnoxiously big. He's done some good today as well as given me laughs:

Him: OH MY GOD your shoes are so shiny!
Me: What? My bootie's shiny?
Him: No, I said your butt's shiny--
*pause*
Me: *dying of laughter*
Him: YOU TRICKED ME!

2009-08-19T14:40:00.000-07:00

And in the spirit of summer, I'd like to share with you all a passage from J.K. Rowling's brilliant Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (which I am currently re-reading [and yes, this is how I plan to spend the remainder of my summer]).

"Are you trying to weasel out of showing us any of this stuff?" said Zacharias Smith.

"Here's an idea," said Ron loudly, "why don't you shut your mouth?"

"Well, we've all turned up to learn from him and now he's telling us he can't really do any of it," he said.

"That's not what he said," said Fred Weasley.

"Would you like us to clean out your ears for you?" inquired George [to Zacharias], pulling a long and lethal-looking metal instrument from inside one of the Zonko's bags.

"Or any part of your body, really, we're not fussy where we stick this," said Fred.

August 15, 2009: Palazzo Pants

2009-08-15T11:17:00.000-07:00

The first time I came into contact with the idea of Palazzo pants was when I first stumbled across The Glamourai's post about a pair of Twelve by Twelve pants that she recommended as a great buy.

I looked at it with interest and intrigue...
until I saw the $36 price tag.

Ouch.

Since then, I've only given the idea of them a passive wave.

Until yesterday.

80'S PALAZZO Pants SILK WIDE LEG High Waist Wide Stripes S/M

As I've been spending too much lately, I've restrained myself from immediately placing a bid. But oh how I haven't been able to get these pants out of my mind since then! I could just imagine how comfy and glamorous a pair of these would be to wear.

So needless to say, I am turning to you, the readers, to ask, where's a great place to get an awesome, affordable pair of palazzo pants?

C'mon, I'm counting on all of you! If I can't find anything better than these pants before the bid closes, I'm buying them! :) [As I'm sure many of you will say how great a buy these pants already are, it's the shipping that's also restraining me. Ohhh the curses of online buying!]

The clock's ticking loves.

Well...

Need I say more?

Thank you Judy Garland AND Technicolor technology--for helping in the decision to change Dorothy's originally silver shoes to ruby.

P.S. Sorry about the blurry picture. I'm not exactly sure what happened there.

Okay, so maybe I lied about the "classic Americana outfit", but hear me out first loves.

Last night, I tried desperately in vain to pull out a red, white and blue outfit--or even just something a bit nautical. But then I realized after a whole pile of clothes had accumulated on my bed that my wardrobe just wasn't made for it.
For one thing, I'm seriously lacking in red (which I will try to fix as soon as possible!) and second, whenever I shop, I try to make sure that none of my clothing is cliche--which includes clothing that echoes back as being "too American".
Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.

Enough of that though, the end result was me just pulling out a gorgeous summer dress. After all, there's no dress code for dressing up to just have a good time with your family :)

Happy 4th of July everyone!

July 1, 2009: Sorry, But...

2009-07-01T17:16:00.001-07:00

Until further notice, I refuse to photograph my outfits daily (unless I'm wearing a particular outfit that I like). This internship is really killing my style. Anything I want to wear is deemed either too casual or even too sexual. Never have I felt this tomboyish since my pre-teen years ladies and gents.

But fret not loves! The fabulous 4th of July is right around the corner. It's the perfect time for me to pull out a classic Americana outfit. :)

Orientation today. Ugh. I'm already kind of hating not being able to be as creative as I want with my clothing. If I had it my way, I would be wearing my sneaker heels, some funky jewelry, and tons of eyeliner (at least). Oh well, a girl can dream right?
I also realized that I desperately need more "work-appropriate" shoes. Excuse for new shoes? Yes.yes.yes.

Expect to see this skirt. A lot.

I start my summer internship at Goldman Sachs tomorrow... and that means business wear :( Let's see how this will affect my every day outfits.

This should be interesting.

June 27, 2009: Inspiration Wall

2009-06-27T17:42:00.001-07:00

A look at my inspiration wall that I've always wanted to have, but always was too lazy to do. I decided to randomly start it today, however. I have yet to print anything out--only Oprah magazine, clothing catalogs, and other knick-knacks here. This gets me excited now.

Some highlights:
- Mixing prints
- Big hat with flowy top
- Versatile clothing
- White blazer with blue romper. Must.try.NOW.
- COLOR, COLOR, and MORE COLOR

June 26, 2009: Jersey Dress

2009-06-26T16:55:00.000-07:00

* Dress: Faded Glory
* Necklace: DIY

This dress has some really gorgeous detailing. The wide straps, subtle pleating at the waist and empire waist would give a very slimming effect on anyone I would imagine.

And expect to see this necklace often. There's a whole story behind it (well, kind of). Maybe one day I'll tell you it... but not today :)

On the bright side, my search for white jeans has finally ended! I’ll tell you one thing though; I definitely wasn’t expecting to find them at Old Navy, especially ones that fit me considering their sizes run a little big.

This bag is so gorgeous. My mother first bought it for me with the intention of me wearing it with a black and gold dress, much to my horror. However, when my sister dug it up again today, I looked inside, saw that it had a long handle and looked at it again in a new light. Now I can’t wait to use it the next time I’m out about town! It is exquisite, these pictures really don’t do it justice.
The bag with the short strap.
Sorry for the bad lighting, but the picture I took with flash made the beads seem more white than black.

It’s a shame I’m too lazy to take pictures of my wrist lol. The bracelets I’m wearing just add that one glamorous touch to such a basic outfit. Oh well, maybe next time.

* Shirt: New York & Company
* Jeans: Angels
* Wedges: New York & Company

I love NY&Company’s shirts, they’re so much more figure-flattering than conventional button-up shirts.

I was actually wearing the most adorable pink flower hair clip today that matched my (newly-painted) pink nails and tied everything together, but my sister took one look at me wearing it once I got home and demanded it back. (Meanie.)

But how does one match with a pink flower hair clip?

With a studded belt of course!

I was actually wearing a gorgeous bracelet that matched my outfit earlier, but I took it off for gym class then forgot to put it back on.
I was playing around with the camera today. Do the pictures look any better?

It’s always an annual tradition at my school for the SkillsUSA competitors to wear their shirts to school the school day after the competition and the winners to wear their medals as well.

I didn’t win, but it’s okay. I’ll get ‘em next year ;]

You see, what happens when I see my boyfriend on a school day is that I try to look extremely nice. Did it work out?

I changed the laces on the sneaker heels to give it a sportier sort of look. It’s amazing how a simple change of laces can change a shoe!

I’ve noticed that I’ve been wearing my sneaker heels every Wednesday for the past few weeks, wonder why that is?

Ladies and gents, I’d like to introduce, the world’s most comfortable leggings!
This is the first time I’ve pulled them on since my mom bought them a month ago and I have to say I regret not pulling them on sooner. The color is gorgeous and they feel like a comfortable second skin.

I guess my boyfriend’s sweater is my way of diving into this whole “boyfriend” trend. Sorry, I refuse to buy boyfriend jeans that I know will quickly go out of style soon.

The boots are my sister’s. Yay for having a sister with the same shoe size as you? It just sucks because she is an absolute pack rat that never wears half of her shoes and clothes, but she blatantly refuses to let me wear nearly anything of hers. *sigh*

Sorry loves, only posting pictures of the gorgeous blouse I got from Marshall’s today. The reason? I had to dress up business-like to attend this career fair at Goldman Sachs and later had to attend a community function. Nice, eh?

Ever had one of those days where you just absolutely love what you’re wearing and wish you could look so fabulous every single day?
This was one of those days for me.

Aren’t these shoes insaneee? I got them for FREE at a local thrift shop that I never bothered going into due to its unimpressive mien. However, I walked by today and saw that they had a bin outside saying that anything inside was free for passer-bys to take and I scored these beauties! Serves me right for judging a book by its cover I suppose.

As you can see, the toes are scuffed, and (something you probably can’t) the heel is deteriorating, revealing the metal underneath. But at no cost to me, how can I complain? :)

I absolutely adoreeee my sneaker heels.
I decided today to try not to wear pants seeing as it’s already spring (even though it lately hasn’t really felt like it) and my legs have been trapped in those damn jeans all winter. The light, spring-like shirt and skirt were offset by the dark tights and heels—“a contradiction” as my mom likes to call it.

I’m not sure if you can tell, but the shirt is threaded with some metallic thread, which looks very nice in the light.
