Doily Top

WELL, let me first apologize for the lack of posts lately. August has been the never-ending month of insanity.

This shoot took place after a long, very busy day at the shop. There are so many cute brick alleys in the Orange Circle and I had my mom with me so we took advantage before the sun went down. I feel like my outfits always sort of fall apart by the end of those days-- something is bound to go awry-- but this one totally held it together. I just love how delicate and intricate this top is, and I'm even wearing a new necklace for once in my life! I'm a real bore when it comes to jewelry, if you haven't noticed.

Cheers to tomorrow being the first day of September! It's bound to be a much better month. Bring on the pumpkin spice stuff, my sister's WEDDING, 2 visits from Robin, and the start of a new job. Woo!

Criss-Cross Applesauce

I love this dress- it sold out in just a couple hours at the shop! That's been one of my favorite things about being a store manager/shopgirl/buyer: getting first dibs. We're going through a serious transition right now with our little store and I've got to say, it's pretty stressful. I'm just thankful I've got my dogs, my loved ones, and BLTs (yes, the sandwich).

Kale Yeah

This is like the ultimate you-think-I'm-dressed-up-but-really-I'm-in-PJs ensemble. (See? Trickery once again.) Plus, my shirt says "kale." So, it's just an all around good time with this outfit, don't you think?

Happy Wednesday, ya'll!

The Front Tuck

I don't normally like to wear short skirts but the colors and print on this one were too good to pass up. As for the top, I'm all about the effortless "front-tuck" to keep an outfit like this from looking too put-together. It's always nice to add some sort of sloppy, hobo-ey touch to a look. Gives it character.

Good Day Sunshine

I love how light and summery this crop top is. I'd been waiting until I got the perfect high-waisted jeans to wear it and here they are! Bless these jeans- for not only do they add a few inches of leg-illusion on the bottom, but also on the top. Trickery, man. It's what fashion is all about.

And oh yeah, Robin & I got a new pup! Meet Jenny! 

Can you even handle her?! I can't. I am this close to Baby Bjorn-ing her ass 24/7. I need that fluff with me at all times!

About Time

Well, FINALLY. I've been meaning to start a fashion blog for years now (Yes, years. There's no excuse). I figure I spend way too much time and money shopping to not have anything to show for it. And there's nothing I love more than finding new ways to justify my compulsive habits. ("Do I NEED a 7th chambray top? Well, maybe not... but the buttons on this one are different... and HEY, it's for the blog!" I can see it now.)

So I'm really excited to get started on this new hobby and I hope you like it and come back for more!

I recently got this 6 Shore Road dress on super sale at shopbop. Even though it's black and a little scandalous, I feel like it works for daytime because it's jersey and I have the body of a 12 year old. This is something I'd wear to a fabulous lunch date in Laguna Beach-- that is, if I ever did anything that cool. Hey, who knows? Maybe now that I'm a *blogger* I will! ::winky face::
