Floral dress and a stream of thought


I don't even want to admit to you guys how old these photos are. Not gonna do it, nope. I refuse to put myself on blast... though I kind of am I right now, aren't I?
I feel as if I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about a whole lot of nothing recently. A waste of mental space really. I don't mean this in a negative way, but more of a matter-of-fact, self-realization sort of way.
This has become something I've been turning over, contemplating, then leaving out of my mind. I've enjoyed it, I do, all the people and lives I get to know and be intrigued by. You all are a lovely lot. I'm not quite sure what I want out of it anymore though. So here is my venting stream-of-thought.
I'm thinking too much again.

A bit of sparkle for the heart



I love this dress oh so much. Do you hear that dress? I love you! You beautiful hunk of sparkle, you.

Recently bought on asos. Check it out here. And if you're really in the market for some gold sequence beauty, buy this one!
Now, someone, please, go throw a holiday party so I have an excuse to wear this baby.

Here's a bit of inspiration to start off your week! I am surely on the lookout now for a structured, 50s style dress such as Krystal's or the pretty, vibrant, floral take that Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky is wearing. The silhouette is just perfect! At the same time though, I still have a heavy weakness for those long sheer maxi skirts that just about sweep me off my feet!

Also, I have some ebay auctions ending today on some great pieces. Make sure to check them out here! A gorgeous maxi dress, a 70s vintage sheer dress, and a pair of Steve Maddens. Now aren't those just calling your name? xx

Have a wonderful week, loves! ♥

I was a dancer all along

Of the numerous floral dresses I own, this one is at the top of my list. The little pearl buttons, the vintage print, and the cut and fit is perfect. Plus, it works perfectly with over-the-knee socks, who can complain? 
Actually, wait, I do have one little complaint. One of those cute little cute little pearl buttons has a tendency of slipping undone. This usually ends up with a not so cute situation of me scrambling to avoid any further wardrobe malfunction. Aside from that, it did have a bit of an identity crisis as a romper when I first bought it. It was obviously made to be a dress, except, you know... on those really windy days.
Oh and I might as well be honest. The floral wreath/ headband was not adorned all day long in the midst of classes. I'm guilty. I would do it though! But it's mainly for the reason that these pictures are more of a bit of a preview as far what is to come very, very soon! The lovely Olivia and I will be having a photo shoot this weekend in preparation for the opening of my Etsy shop including an assortment of these little floral lovelies. I'm thoroughly excited!
 The one pictured will also be available, just so you know.

Now back to listening to Lykke Li nonstop. Her voice and energy is just so addicting.
Muah! Love you dolls! ♥

Pink tips, full a-line teal skirts, and lofty sunflower prints--could the new season feel any more inviting with these lovely ladies?

Hope you all had yourselves a wonderful start to the week. ♥

Don't stop

Ages ago I remember putting up a picture of this vintage dress on a hanger. I also remember it didn't look all that great on the hanger either. But see, I told you it looks a lot better on! It's really quite a bright, tropical print. When I woke up in the morning, I swear the weather tried to keep me from wearing it on purpose. I refused to give in and wore it anyways and threw on some sweater tights. Problem solved! I personally think mother nature actually gave in and admired me for my determination since it ended up warming up a bit later on.
(dress- vintage, sweater- vintage, glasses- 80s purple, tights- jessica simpson, shoes- vintage)
   And if this were a family picture slide show, this is where I would say, "And this is me looking painfully awkward whilst trying to wink." I just can't do it! All dreams of ever becoming a pin-up model have gone down the drain. All because I can't wink. Sad truth. So yes, I just included this last picture to make a fool of myself. It's just something I do. Life is hardly any fun if you take yourself too seriously!
Oh well, there are surely many other aspirations I can tackle that don't require a good wink. haha
In the meantime though, since I'm sure it will take me quite a while to make up my indecisive mind, have yourselves a lovely rest of the week. 
It's almost the weekend! ♥

Oh, and thanks bunches to Beatrice from Dear Beatrice for featuring me in her style inspiration post this week. Do check her out if you don't know about her already!

You know, I don't recall my tights being this awful when I put them on in the morning. They probably weren't. I just couldn't be bothered with going to change them again. Why can't my tights ever stay in tact?? Aside from that though, I'm pretty happy with how this outfit came out. These oxfords haven't seen the outside of my closet for a while and they worked out just so well.
The scarf I'm wearing in my hair I love love love. I actually was lucky enough to have won it through PreviouslyOwned's giveaway a while back from Hinterland Vintage. The colors and pattern on it are just gorgeous, and you know me and scarves!

Without face

You know yesterday, how I mentioned I love clothes with stories. Well I'm starting to think it has a lot more to do with just "permanently borrowing" things from my grandma. This little cardigan with the pearl buttons- yup, it was hers when she was actually 15. She said it got passed around quite a bit amongst her sisters, and now I'm happy to say it skipped a generation and somehow ended up in my possession. Love it! And since I'm mentioning her so much, in case you hadn't seen it, a while back a posted a few old photographs of my grandma's on my blog. Check them out here if you like!
 These feather earrings, they're love. I adore them. I picked them up during my adventures in Venice Beach with my friend, Cynthia, not too long ago.  If you're ever in SoCal, do make a point to check out Venice Beach. It's weird at first, but once it sinks in, you'll love it, even more for all its oddities.
These photos were taken Monday I believe? I decided to have no face that day apparently. It happens.
And oh hey, it's almost Friday! Cheers ♥

Sunshine all day

 I love this shirt. When I was younger and would see my grandma wearing it. I would study the patterns all day long until they could no longer hold my attention. I would always take notice of how certain sections reminded me of watermelon. Now I seem to have permanently borrowed it from her and every time she sees me wearing it she reminds me of how she remembers buying it for my aunt when she was 15. I just love clothes with a story.
(shirt- permanently borrowed, pants- h&m, shoes- vintage from little ocean annie)
 Spring break is now over, but my mind still isn't readilly cooperating with this. Mentally I'm still on break, but you know what, that's okay because it keeps me a bit more relaxed. Just as long as I don't slack off, of course. Everything just feels so much better when you're thoroughly trying to enjoy life and be a bit more carefree. Stress just isn't worth it. Instead, ending my day yesterday with cheesecake and great company. Now that's definitely worth it.

Layering a button up under a dress like this is just one of those ideas I wish I would have thought of. 
Inspiration posts like these also make me realize all the necessities that my closet is currently missing: a denim, jacket, a floppy hat, a graphic blazer, and more maxi skirts. Most definitely the case.
Have a wonderful Monday, dolls! ♥

Too much to love this week, from the lace, the ties, the floral headpieces or that in-cre-dible sweater and elephant necklace combo from Natalie of Canned Fashion! Hope you all enjoy too and have as good a Monday as possible. ♥

Castles made of sand

 Hendrix inspired anything is amazing.  This editorial just embodied so much of that same free-spirited appeal that always backed Hendrix's character. It's a beautiful thing to see such a legend live on in so many ways, whether it be in the world of fashion or his music, but always his spirit and soul.
On a side note, floppy hats and feathers. Definitely feeling it.

Reckless.

I've been feeling fairly boyish recently. Or possibly just been raising havoc in a more nonchalant way of dress than usual. Either way, cut up band t's and skinnies with my olive green pixie boots are definitely something well within my comfort zone. I suppose another reason for my swap from skirt and dresses to jeans is that my legs have become filled with quite a few awful bruises! Having been playing basketball and soccer a lot recently, this is expected of course. It's just so fun to be active again doing these sorts of things, it's worth the bruises! (Possibly not worth the loss of a few brain cells though after I got hit in the head with the ball just yesterday in the middle of soccer.)
I feel like I've been wearing this jacket far too much, but it just seems to top off so many outfits infinitely well. It's become my easy way out of what would normally be a much duller outfit. I love it!
 I really do need a camera. This webcam business blows. In the meantime, making gifs has become my time waster. Though I do like how this one came out, it's sort of eerie, isn't it?

I'm dying for a dress like the one from Frankie Sunshine! That will be my official goal for the months to come because I love it so.

Have a wonderful Monday, sweets. ♥

It's embedded off of youtube so there's talking at a certain point into the song that will make absolutely no sense. Just letting you know. (:
