The girl in the Vietnamese Wedges

 headband- it's really a scarf (shh), dress- vintage, shoes- Vietnamese flea market

Who's that girl in those ultra colorful,

Teeny tiny,

Carved wedges?

Oh yeah,

That's me.

And who could forget this show stopper dress?

I have dreams about it.

New and fun things coming next week,

I promise.

 

Downtown Spark

 

dress- Forever 21, purse- vintage, shoes- Lower East Side #teenvogue

A cute and twirly dress, a pair of sister-stolen sparkly ballet flats, a trip to the record store, and a tiny vintage find can really make a walk around your 'lame and old' downtown shall I say,

Sparkle?

A summer spent relaxing in the most fabulous clothes at your local hot dog finery and, stereotypically, Starbucks with your buds, is a summer well spent. 

There's just something about hanging out with the wicked kids.

 

P.S. Love vintage photography? Check out an instagram loaded with the stuff:

A vintage perspective

shorts- Guess, top- fabric scrap!, shoes- you know, headband- Again, made by me #teenvogue

There I go.. 

Running off into the sunset. 

Actually, over a hill in my local golf course.

Sorry to take the magic out of it.

Stereotypically Red, White, and Blue

*sigh, yanna, get it right*

*swish*

top/bandeau- Tilly's, skirt- from an African dance class i took in 2nd grade, headband- I MADE IT

Cute headband right?

Oh, wait,

I MADE IT.

(If you didn't already see that in my garment list above ^^^^^)

Not much to say about this clearly American themed shoot except have a happy Fourth of July!

Throw on something glittery and light up some illegal fire works in your backyard.

Or you know.  Watch a Castle marathon on TV with your friends.

Either one is patriotic, really.

And if you're one of my international viewers that wants to show some spirit,

Send me a picture of you in red, white, and blue. 

I might just give you a shout out..

 

 

The Casual Club

 *excuse my bad posture please*

 swimsuit- american apparel, jacket- casual club clothing, tank top- thrifted, shoes- doc martens #teenvogue

Why exactly am I wearing a swimsuit in the middle of a field?

Well, why not?  It's cute, it's mod, it's graphic, and it's fun.  It also went fabulously with the vintage casual club clothing jacket that I picked up at the thrift store, and complemented my slightly offensive yet empowering tank top.  The field was a perfect venue for the shoot, and it only took a duck under an electric fence, a skip, hop, and jump over an abandoned lake, a climb through an old tree-house, and a half hour walk into a wheat field.  Complements to American Apparel for selling a modest, yet stylish swimsuit that didn't make me feel like a 21 year old on display.  

I swear, 

I am going to be the most stylish blogger at the public pool this summer.

 

The Working Woman

lipstick- Loreal Paris, pants- Target, clutch- thrifted, shoes- thrifted, it's me, of course they're thrifted.. #teenvogue

Just a normal post... 

No?

Oh, right, the ultra-fab cat snapshot I added at the end.  

Well, I can't explain why I found it OK to post my kitty cat Lily on my blog, but I mean, who isn't OK with seeing a little adorableness amongst my serious facial expressions and intimidatingly professional bright red lipstick?  

What do you guys think of the 'working woman' pantsuit?  

I felt like I was about to climb into a cab in New York City and go to my dull, drab work place where my lips would *pop* in the harsh lighting and make the jealous interns gossip behind my stylishly dressed back.

Off to dream about New York, 

until next time..

 

Tip of the Hat

 

pantsuit- urban outfitters, shoes- mossimo (target), hat- thrifted #teenvogue

My art teacher once told me: "Girl, you make crappy art, but you've sure got a sense of style." 

Of course, it was a partial complement, but I accepted it.  Her joyous flattery coaxed me into helping her carry ginormous boxes of clay from her truck to the art room.  It's rather far not to mention.  But the pantsuit kept me positive.  Isn't it just uberfabulouslyfabulousandamazingandperfectandmeeee.  I sound like my sister.  

About food..

Never mind that, what do you guys think of my hat?

A hat tip to those that agree it's adorable.
