Sass With A Touch Of Class

these shirts always put such a naughty little smile on my face. they're so amazingly embroidered & look so very delicate. then, upon closer inspection, one is blown away by a saucy quote stuck in there somewhere. i think it's a very clever idea. i drool over these shirts. however, they're still slightly too basic for me to justify whipping out $100 [when all expenses are taken into account] for one of these babies.
these are my two favourites, but there's many more. i'll admit, some verging on tasteless. but really, everyone should check this site out at least once. even if only for a chuckle.

It's All About The Accessories

WARNING: super duper photo-heavy post.

these are all my most recently acquired summer accessories [note the gladiators! eeee!]
i feel accessories make an outfit, therefore i deemed it necessary to give 'em a taste of the limelight.
sorry about my face. feel free to ignore it. stare at the absolute gorge-y scarfs instead.
these pieces were all bought either while in cuba or just prior to leaving for cuba. <3

scarves; 2 for 5 CUC [around $6]
ché tote; 15 CUC [around $16.50]
purse; lancome, thrifted $2
gladiators; spring, $40
mary janes; american eagle, $32

Interview Attire

i wore this basic outfit to a job interview the other day. but don't worry, i wore a much better facial expression. even though it's pretty under-stated and more "mature", if you will, than i usually dress, i feel rather pretty & quite confident in this ensemble. the long sleeves also aided in masking the ongoing re-birth of my skin.
my confidence must have shown, as i got the job right then and there. <3

p.s. mad love for self-photography & reflective tables.

pearls; probably from claire's for $1 or less
skirt; weekenders, a gift.
shirt; thrifted, smart set $3

Home Sweet Home

i've been refraining from posting anything new because i'm horribly sunburnt, and currently peeling like crazy.
i pretty much look diseased.
so here are a few photos from cuba.
i have this new gorgeous dress that i wore down there, but none of the pictures came out well & i wore it after the sunburn was acquired.









the first dress i've had for years.it's black with white polka dots [in case you haven't noticed, i love polka dots <3]
the second one i bought just before heading down to cuba. it's so airy and lovely. i adore it.
i apologize for the lack of photography skills.

1st dress; tattoo $40 or $50
2nd dress; jessica, second-hand, $20

CUBA

that's where i'm headed.. about right now. i'll be leaving for the airport in mere minutes. this also means no blog posting for a week! but there'll be lots & lots & lots of photos to look at when i return!

eee, i'm so excited.
ciao bellas!
=)

oh, and i'll leave you with a picture of two of my favourite people.
expect a huge post on zac sometime in the near future. <3

The Humourous Side Of Fashion

these bags made me giggle quite excessively upon initial viewing. the first bag is supposed to the obviously famous Tinkerbell. the second is just all-around rocker-chic. i'd be more inclined towards the second one, as the first is even a little too much for me.

mad love for james piatt.

A Waist Is A Terrible Thing To Mind

i adore this skirt. however, i am too hip-y, damn it. why can't extreme hour-glass shapes be 'the norm' anymore? bcdbcajks. there, rant done. back to task. regardless of an attack of insecurity, i loved how i looked & felt in this. it was my last day EVER of high school. so i felt cause for snazz-ing it up a bit.

tank; st. john's bay. borrowed from my momma.
pencil skirt; 80's piaf, stolen from my momma.
cardigan; gift from verona, italy.
belt; $1 from somewhere?
tweed heels; town shoes, $40
