Something Borrowed

The cheapest and most effective way to keep your clothes shopping at a minimum  is to have a best friend. This beautiful Brandy Melville skirt is straight out of her (being Mikaela) closet. At the end of the day if an article of my clothing is missing I know its somewhere in her closet. We share a wardrobe. This fall has been on the warmer side, it's hard to believe its November. With the work schedule like mine, I've been planning my outfits at night while I can't sleep. Its almost uncanny how much a bad outfit can throw your day off. These boots were a killer deal I found. DSW is a great place to find shoes that usually you can't find anywhere else. These were the last pair and they were a whopping $40.00! Who can beat that? Well Happy Wednesday everyone, the weekend fast approaches!
Cheerio!

Dreamin' of Paisley's

 Well I feel as though every other post I'm wearing shorts. I'm telling you, I have such a hard time giving them up. Well over the last two weeks I did three great things. I bought this amazing paisley kimono, I got a sunflower tattoo, and I bought the new Taylor Swift album 1989. My life has been so hectic. Between working pretty much full time to finding time to sleep, its like I can't catch a break. On the plus side this kimono was a whopping $9.98. The way I measure money is impractical, its in the amount of coffee's I could buy with that money. I think "well for ten dollars I could buy almost 4 coffees". It's really a problem, my addiction to coffee, but its definitely worth it. Paisley's are extremely in, so much so that I have a tattoo on my shoulder of a very large paisley. They were infamous starting as early in the twenty's on men's ties and suit jackets. They've grown to be a much more popular pattern.  The paisley I have permanently tattooed on my body resembles a tear that has been made beautiful by all the pain I have endured in my life. The beach was a great place to breath this day.  On a side note the new Taylor Swift album is so heartfelt and edgy and yes I did get a new tattoo. Sunflower's are my favorite flower and my Mom's. Hope you all have a great week.
Cheerio!

Crisp Leaves & Basic Fall Things

The crisp leaves, the smell of the fresh air, the noise of the cars moving slower than normal for the people's inside to grasp the foliage. Its the last days before winter brings its cold, bitter chill. Its almost in limbo. The weather has been exceptionally warm. Being a warm blooded Californian I very much enjoy the warm weather. So this Free People dress might just take the trophy for my favorite piece of clothing I own. It literally is the most versatile item. Easy to wear with tights, boots, flats and in the summer sandals. My weeks have consisted of long hours at the boutique, so I have no time to post but I have a few things lined up that I'm excited to share. Happy Wednesday, the weekends almost here!

Cheerio!

Stripes & Red

Happy Monday everyone! Well today on the darling blog I would love to emphasize how much I love stripes. Really though, at least a quarter of my wardrobe is striped. Stripes are something that have stayed for many generations and never go out of style. There what we call classic. When an item of clothing or something is worn for more than a decade it becomes classic. Red is also my color pop in this outfit and it is my favorite color as well. These shorts are also made by yours truly.  Their younger boys shorts that I bought at Salvation Army for a couple of dollars. I cut them and sewed the cuffs. Simple as anything. Its my final days of shorts weather and I'm going into the autumn excited. I hope you have a lovely week!

Cheerio!

The Little Things

Well here is my outfit of the day today. I finally am catching a breath from the crazy thing I call life. I shot my first wedding on Saturday and I'm blessed beyond all odds with the way the photos came out (I can't wait to post them). I also work two jobs, as well as my photography on the side. My life is insane but that why I made this blog, as a small outlook on the madness. This outfit is so simple yet incredible classy. The thing about my wardrobe is I find everything at awesome prices, people know me as the biggest bargain shopper. I probably paid around forty dollars for this outfit. This dress from H&M was a steal, for only ten dollars. You can always find great basic pieces there that fit with closely anything else in your wardrobe. I love this floppy hat because it lets me feel like I'm in a different generation or time where big floppy hats were worn at horse races and fancy events. Its always the little things to me that make me so happy! I'll be back with wedding photos!

Cheerio

In the Air this Morning

Happy Sunday! Overcast skies and the faint feeling of redemption is the forecast for the day. I had someone tell me my outfit was Pinterest worthy so I felt it fit in my blog very well. Being the girl whose had about fifty jobs J.Crew used to be one of them. That's when I got these fabulous pants. You can't see but they have the most adorable zippers near the waist. Don't worry you'll see them again! I'm not shy about using pieces with different outfits! This shirt is one of my favorites. I am indeed a Free People kind of girl. The bohemian styles and eccentric patterns rock my world. I also love a good deal and this shirt was $7.00 at the consignment store. Prime budget find! Mikaela my best friend is sporting Francesca's per usual. You'll see a lot of her seeing as she's my soul mate and we do everything together and I may steal her wardrobe and she steals mine! What are best friends for?

As for the redemption in the air, I find that as Sunday rolls around people around the country make their way to church. They are all reminded of the grace and forgiveness of their Savior that they may had lost during the week. They feel redeemed. Now clearly it's a state of speech to say I can smell it in the air, and that it's silly. Truly being reminded of Jesus's unending love for my beat soul brings me redemption. I hope you all have a great day! 

Cheerio!
