Stylishly Late: Unseasonable

This post is late because I’ve been sick. But the weather here has kinda been unseasonably warm lately. So I decided that if it was warm enough for skirts and tights, that meant there was no reason for my favorite skirt to be hanging out in my closet.

Trench: Express, Top: H&M, Skirt: The Limited, Tights: HUE, Shoes: Old Navy

I love love love this skirt, it’s navy with little red polka dots and you can’t see it that well here, because it was dark outside by the time I was able to get my photos taken.

I have worn these boots to death this year and they’re absolutely scuffed, and definitely showing their wear, but I still can’t stop wearing them and I really hope that I can find a pretty similar pair in black, grey or brown very soon because these have been my absolute favorite shoes.

What has the weather been like where you are lately?

Top: The Limted, Jeans: Aeropostale, Shoes: Old, don’t know the brand but I bought them from Alloy Necklace: H&M

I wore this early last week, because I was finally feeling a bit better and wanted to be dressed and feel pretty, but I still wanted to be comfortable. This fit the bill perfectly. I don’t think I’ve ever worn this top on the blog before, but it is one of my favorites and I always feel amazing in it. I am still really loving my hair. And upkeep has been insanely easy so I’ll be doing a post on that sometime next week or the week after hopefully. I feel like I’ve been neglecting both my blogs so so so much recently because of how busy I am, and how sick I’ve been. However I’m killing it on Tumblr so if you want to follow me there you can. It’s what I do late at night when I should be sleeping, but just can’t.

Hair: Curled with 2 inch Conair Curling iron, color: Color Ion Brilliance Brights Fuchsia.

On My Face: Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Foundation (I’m almost out of my Nars foundations so I’m wearing this to use it up before it needs to be tossed), Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush on the apples of my cheeks and The Balm’s Hot Mama from the apples to my temples, with a light brown from Maybelline’s the Nudes Palette as my contour, and The Balm’s Mary Lou Manizer to highlight. Eyes are the champagne color from the Marc Jacobs The Lolita Palette, Makeup Forever Eyeliner on my tightline and Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant Mascara because Maxwell has me addicted to it. Lipstick is Nyx Tea Rose with Lancome’s Coral Rush Juicy Tube over it.

I adore this necklace I bought from H&M because I’m a really big fan of intersections and the lower letter T.

I always forget I have these shoes. Which sucks because I love them, despite the fact that they eat my heels. I bought these years ago, before the whole loafer trend started, because the Nancy Drew movie had just come out and I really like Nancy Drew. Really that says how old they are. I’m pretty sure I bought them on sale from Alloy, and I haven’t shopped there in ages.

Stylish Sundays: Dark side

This outfit kinda happened by accident. I did not intend to wear all black two weeks in a row. Especially not after I just did a post for CGC Daily on Tricks For Wearing All Black. But sometimes your dark side just slips through. That said I love this outfit, and will be wearing it or some variation of it again.

I felt amazing in this outfit. Most of the time I like what I’m wearing, but I wouldn’t say I loved it. This I loved. I realized I hadn’t worn this skirt since Valentine’s Day.  So I pulled it out and at the same time spotted my Rebels Taos Moto boots in the bottom of my closet and decided I wanted to wear those too. So then it became a game of how can I make this work? I just tried on random things until I was happy with the result.

I’ve had these boots for years now, and I love them. If you have them I do recommend insoles in them because until I put in the Dr. Schols for her for heels insoles they were really painful, but now they’re the most comfortable shoes I have to walk in.

On My Face: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation, Marc Jacobs The Lolita Palette, Nars Deep Throat, Makeup Forever Smokey Extravagant Mascara, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer Highlighter, Hourglass Liquid Rouge Rose, Covergirl Glossy Balm in Berry, Victoria’s Secret Lipgloss in Violet Femme.

If you’re wondering where today’s title comes from, it’s from Tim Minchin’s Dark Side. I’m a bit obsessed with him lately. What have you been obsessed with lately?

 

Stylish Sundays: Back To School

It’s back to school time everywhere, which always makes me nostalgic for when I was little. Not high school, but 3rd grade because that was my favorite year ever. Back to School then meant new crayons and saddle shoes and fresh pencils.

That year I probably wore something very 90’s like maybe plaid pants with a peplum and suspenders and a shirt that had a now on it. (No seriously, that’s what I wore. Stop laughing, it was cute…then)

So I decided that I’d put together an outfit that is wear if I were going back to school today.

Shirt: Feed for Target Skirt: The Limited Shoes: Old Navy (but a present from a friend) Necklace: Gift from a friend.

I love this outfit. The top fulfills my need to do good, because it was part of Feed’s Target campaign. If you don’t know what Feed is or what they do, there is more information here.
I’ve had this skirt for a while now and it’s a bit to big so I felt like I could never make it work. I wore it once before here. But I didn’t love how it turned out. However my dad taught me to sew so I took it in a bit, and now it’s perfect.
And these booties were a gift from my sister in law T. I absolutely adore these boots and they’re perfect for fall.

And of course since it’s back to school I had to wear my pen necklace that Mrs. Cannady gave me. It’s my favorite necklace.

 

Stylish Sundays: Valentine

Since Friday was Valentines day, I thought I’d show you what I wore when we went out to dinner to celebrate, and what my present that I hinted about on instagram is.

First my present since I’m just dying over it still:

Fashion and Happy Things!   Stylish Sundays: Valentine

It’s the Kate Spade Cove Street Irini, and it’s absolutely perfect. I am obsessed with Kate Spade and have wanted a K.S. Purse for quite sometime. Since my husband noticed I’ve just been grabbing my wallet when I go out lately, he decided that this one would be perfect because it’s small and it’s a crossbody.

Fashion and Happy Things!   Stylish Sundays: Valentine

I love the lining because it’s brightly colored and makes grabbing anything an absolute breeze, which isn’t a problem right now because my wallet takes up most of the space, I need to get a smaller wallet, and I’ve already picked out a couple I’m in love with.

This is honestly the most perfect present I could ever ask for.

To dinner I wore:

Fashion and Happy Things!   Stylish Sundays: Valentine

V.S. Pink Long Sleeve Top, The Limited Tweed Mini, Hue Opaque Black Tights, Sam Edelman Calypso Flats in Black, Kate Spade Cove Street Irini Bag

On My Face: Nars Sheer Glow, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, YSL Shocking Mascara, Caudalie Lip Balm, The Balm Frat Boy, The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer, The Balm Hot Mama worn as shadow, Lancome Brown Eyeliner, Lancome Metallic Taupe shadow

All said it was a lovely day. What did you do for Valentines?
