Hello Everyone, 

Apologies on my lack of posting lately.

For now my posting will be on either Mondays or Wednesdays once a week. 

I am dealing with some health issues and that combined with school makes it difficult to do daily posts. 

---------

With that being said I am going to share some more from my trip to LA with my Mom!

The lobby of our hotel was decorated in lavish colors, design, and furniture. 

While thrifting I came across this gorgeous silk beaded dress and thought it looked gorgeous with the decor. 

Dress: $4

Shoes: Carlos Santana {found on clearance at Macy's}

The Beautiful Door to our Room!

Like I said in my past post, this hotel was a dream, it was gorgeous! 

If you are ever in LA and need a place to stay definitely check out The Figueroa Hotel.

Let them know little miss Kayla from Hereandwow sent you :)

Before I bid adieu I wanted to let you all know of a contest I am entered in. 

It is with Threadflip on Facebook, and all you have to do is click here 

and vote for my blog!

My Grandmother's Closet

Today my best friend came home to visit from Idaho! 

So we are getting all the girls together for a night out on the town.

Sushi and a Film! :)

Today I am sporting: clothes that were intended for people around 30 years older than me. 

Just my type. 

Dress: Dressbarn Collection Skirt (mom's giveaway pile)

Sweater: Sonoma Collection (Grandma's giveaway)

Necklace: Grandma's Giveaway

Belt: Forever 21

(this belt came with a skirt but was too big for me so I sewed the back of it a wee bit)

Shoes: Carlos Santana--also used here 

So for this outfit, just like my blue 'dress' my black dress is actually a old skirt of my mom's. Since I am on the short side I usually use long skirts as maxi dresses and belt them to give me a waist. I highly recommend this trick.

Neck-Tie

I recycled today!

Using scraps from the skirt here I made a neck-tie!!

{I finally got some pictures taken by a real camera!}

Shoes - Carlos Santana

Neck-Tie - Homemade

{I think I am going to make it into a bow-tie sometime soon!}

Cap - La Mirada Theater Drive-In Swapmeet Bracelet - Caché
