Tis the season for frilly frocks
I know I shouldn't even be window shopping right now, but I can't help but take a gander at some frilly frocks for this awesome season coming up. There will be parties galor in the coming weeks, birthday parties, anniversary parties, engagement parties, even a wedding right before the holidays, and I can't help but get excited. Here are a few frocks that totally stole my heart.
They have this 'look' about them that just grabs me and i love it.
If anything, sister is taking some awesome rock star sewing classes so maybe in a few weeks I'll be living with my very own seamstress, and she could hook me up! Wahooo! Kidding!!! Yeah right, sister's getting her wedding planning on ... maybe that's the reason why I have dresses on my mind. Happy fall and frill frocks to you!
The Keiko Lynn
I haven't been blogging about inspiration, fashion, other blogs, or anything else for that matter but this definitely deserves it's own post. I've been following Keiko Lynn's blog since ... last year I think. And without fail I always leave her blog feeling inspired. Her outfits are just to tooo cute, and she really thinks outside of the box. Mod Cloth on the other hand, it's been about a 2 year infatuation for me. There is nothing but amazing products in their store and alot of my key winter pieces were inspired from their stuff. Now this dress ... mama mia .. it is divine! I've been wearing alot of blue dresses lately and how lovely would it be to add this to the collection? GORGE!
Put A Ring On It
I have a growing infatuation with rings. I love love love rings. I feel naked without them. The one thing most of my rings currently have in common is that they are all gold. "I LIKE GOLD!" like in Austin Powers Gold Member. Ask anyone of my best friends and they'll tell you I'm a "gold" girl. Don't know how that came to be, I loved silver one upon a time, but gold just fits me.
In fairness, I do still have a few silver pieces, but they are all pieces given to me. The last silver piece of jewelry I bought for myself was a ring with two intertwined hearts I got on a trip to NY in high school. Pretty lame, a two heart ring for myself, I know. But that was highschool and I was lonely. LOL. Here are a few rings I was window shopping for on Etsy, not that I deserve to give myself any presents. But a girl can dream.
Out of all the rings I laid my eyes on, this Skinny Ring is by far my favorite. I feel like it's the one piece missing from all my jewelry, the one piece I'd never take off if I had it. It's understated presence is it's beauty. {Note to self: Don't forget about this ring. It will be yours}
Stacked rings are always fun. My sister and my mom both have lovely sets that are actually all attached to each other {like they are tangled}, but I couldn't find any I liked online so stacked rings were my next option. I even asked my mom for her ring one day, it's so pretty and yes it is gold.
When I want to go with something loud I'd go for this Wrap Ring. I have one similar to it, but this is much more lovely. Big rings are so much fun.
There is something about rare or raw diamonds that always intrigues me. What can I say? I'm a girl's girl sometimes and diamonds are always a girl's best friend right {though I own not one}. This Black Diamond is simply amazing.
Call me bias with gold, yes. But I did look around for other types of rings that are not gold. This Wood ring was my fav. How beautiful is that? Ok yes it's lined in gold but that's the part that isn't seen.
Rings = fun, fun, fun!
Bantu by Yodit in ELLE magazine!!!
I was screaming when I heard this news from my big sis.
A family friend of ours, Yodit Eklund has her own swimsuit line {Bantu} and was featured as part of the fashion spotlight article in Elle Magazine this month!!!
Last summer she had mentioned to me that she started her own swimsuit line, I just didn't realize how big her line has gotten. Her line has been picked up by .. ahem ... ANTHROPOLOGIE, Barneys NY, and Fred Segal to name a few, and I'm sure with this article her name will be even more sought after. Also Bantu made an appearance in The New York Times “Sunday Style” feature on Memorial Day beach clothes ... how awesome is that?
I'm sooo excited for her, I texted her baby brother asap to give her my love and congrats! As for her company Bantu ... “It is Bantu’s mission to support and grow the African economy while providing high-quality working standards, opportunities for growth, and a living wage to its workers,” says Yodit Eklund, Bantu’s founder. “Hopefully consumers will begin demanding finished products from Africa, a place typically only considered for raw materials.” Great stuff. I'll be wearing my African pants her mom gave me last summer in celebration! hehe! YAY!
Buy Bantu !!!
Wendy Straps
My guitar still lacks a guitar strap after two years. I still haven't found the perfect one, though I've been in no rush to find one ... but how great are these? Built by Wendy always has great stuff.
Buy TOMS, give some
Shoes, shoes, shoes. I'm surrounded by shoes everyday. It becomes a little monotonous job at times but now and again you learn or discover something new, and or your coworkers keep you entertained. It was actually a customer who had this shoes one, ones I've never seen before but they looked so cute and comfty so I had to ask.
"They are TOMS." She told me. Like I'm suppose to know what TOMS are? I sell shoes, but I don't know about alot of shoes outside of what we sell. So as I said I would I looked them up, and I love them.
When you buy a pair of TOMS, TOMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. I see people buying shoes everyday, it's nice to know that somewhere people who are buying shoes are giving them out as well.
I have alot of shoes, so it's not like I need another one. But I want to buy me some TOMS. I've seen first hand what a simple pair of shoes means to children in need. Maybe not now, but soon ... I'll get me some TOMS just in time for some summer fun. And plus they are so cute.
Buy TOMS, give some.
Bobby in Black
Meet my friend, Bobby.
A while ago I stumbled upon this fashion blog Style Slickers which is based in London, but haven't checked it out again since. Today I just so happen to thumb through my high school friend's profile pictures and guess what I found? A picture of him on the streets of London {His new home since pursuing fashion. He's quite the fashionista!!} .. and at the bottom of the image is written "style slicker". I had to see it for myself. And sure enough here's Bobby!!! YAY!!
I miss this guy, he was my regular bubble tea, sticker pictures and tennis date in high school. And last time we saw each other was in the sewing & crafts magazine section of Barnes & Nobles when he saw me through the window {though I didn't see him at all}. So he came in to say hi because he is rarely back in the States so seeing a familiar face, saying hi was a must. I wonder who else I will stumble upon in this crazy little blog world. Bobby you rock star you!!
Full of Beauty
I think all I wanna wear this summer are these high wasted full mini skirts.
