Put It On and Don’t Say a Word

Wore this dress to run around pulling items for a photo shoot for A-Line this weekend. I've worn it  before (here), and I like it because it's comfy and doesn't need much more than a belt to make it look like I actually put effort into getting dressed.  On the downside, it's polyester--and y'all know what happens when summer heat meets polyester.Oh, and I also treated myself to this ridiculously yummy buttermilk white chocolate cupcake

Don’t Be Fooled By the Rocks That I Got

My obsession with rocks and crystals likely started during the dinosaurs-are-awesome phase everyone seems to go through around 4th grade. I dreamed of expanding my rock collection--proudly displayed amongst my collection of My Little Ponies and Sweet Valley Twins books--to include crystals and geodes and jagged stalactites (or was it stalagmites?). To this day, anything that looks like a treasure coveted by small creatures with pointy ears from

Tumblr Tuesday: Yarn Necklaces and Crystal Spikes

It doesn't get much better than elaborate crystal embellishment ;even at my craftiest I couldn't make this intricate paper lantern; Shadowplay's yarn necklaces are basically awesome fabric sculptures; If this was my home's entrance, I'd just walk in and out all day; This is how my accessories are organized in my fantasy closet; There has to be SOME occasion in which it's appropriate to wear a collar-harness thingy made of crystal spikes and chains.Find more

Seven Four Eleven

AG shirt; vintage shorts and belt, Daniblack shoes I picked up these shorts for 99 cents at the St. Vincent de Paul on Este Avenue (which is now clearly my new favorite store) and took them up a few inches during a DIY sewing kick. I'm not usually into dressing matchy-matchy, but I couldn't resist wearing my striped espadrilles with a striped top--you know, as a nod to the whole holiday thing.

Red dress run

Thrifted dress, belt, and heels; Victoria's Secret top, Ray Ban sunglassesI picked up this dress on a thrifting adventure a few years ago, and it's served me well as a comfy laying-around-the-house dress. Since I wanted to take it for a spin OUTSIDE the couch, I wore it over an off-the-shoulder striped top and woven belt. The belt was another thrift score, and I clearly remember there being two or three
