MONEY GOT ME SPENDIN

After a long and miserable day at school, I decided I would treat myself to some goodies. It's friday, I made it through another week - hell, I deserved it! Also, I got in a pretty bad car accident yesterday leaving me with some severe whiplash.. not fun.. So hell yeah I deserved it! I rode down to osbourne where I picked up a wonderful bracelet and double-wrap belt as well as a new pair of booties, leggings (these are so amazing) and feather head piece/necklace. After this, I treated myself  again to a chocolate cupcake at the Cupcake Corner, then headed to Urban Barn. I've been looking for a clear, acrylic occasional chair for some time now and I saw on their website that they had a really gorgeous one, so I had to get!

FABULOUS IN FAUX

                          

Who says you have to wear fur to look fab? Being a proud vegetarian and advocate for animal welfare for the past 5 years, I say you definately don't! I am always so happy to see chic, fashionable pieces made with faux leathers and furs, embossed skins and natural dyes. Being a lover of fashion and animals is a pretty tough job, but as much as I lust over the luxury of  Mackage lambskin, I will stand behind what I truly believe is right.

WHAT A GIRL WANTS

       I need to shop, BAD. It's been way too long. But I am dead broke. Being in school full time really doesn't allow me to make $$$. Value Village here I come! I always find something I can work with. I'm dying for a long white smoking jacket, and a pair of lightwashed, flared jeans (which I will most likely splurge on, elsewhere.) I always pay more for my denim. Oh and SHOES! I want/need more boots, platforms, clogs, peeptoes (cute with socks)..etc. I have an amazingly cute sock/stocking collection worth showing off! Especially before the snow comes. Let's hope this isn't anytime too soon!

OLSEN LOVE

   
    Two sisters that never go out of style. I have and will always love the Olsen's. Amen.

DOWN TO EARTH

With my sister recently moving into my house, and with a new season fastly approaching,  I've been thinking alot about re-decorating. I despise tacky "seasonal" decor but I am in love with playing with natural, woodsy textiles, earth tones and simple patterns. I love these ideas, they really have inspired me to do something new! Now to find the time...

PRETTY IN PONCHOS

The other day I went to fabricland and picked up this gorgeous patterned fleece. Perfect for fall '10! Not being very handy with a sewing machine, I decided to make a quick cut in the middle and wear it as a poncho. Ta-da! I love how soft it is :) Can't go wrong!

Also wearing: leather wedges from ALDO, high waisted slim stack jeans from American Apparel, gifted bracelet from my mom, ring from Le Chateau.
