Lucky Little Lady

The weather has been absolutely fantastic lately!

Cool mornings, Toasty Afternoons and Warm nights :) 

My Favorite!

I think out of every backdrop I have used.. this one is my favorite! 

It is in our downtown and it is just... perfect. 

I love the color of the bricks and the lighting and just everything all together :)

I was feeling a lot better this week so I actually got ready! 

Don't think I forgot about Here and Wow -- My health is my main focus right now... I guess you could say its my Here and Now.. (Get it??)

So in todays outfit I am wearing a A-Line Shirt from Cotton On  for $10

(Love this store! It is so affordable and adorable!!)

-x-

A cute cream and orange purse -- I wish I could say where this is from but I can't!

I have no idea! It was a free purse with a purchase of make-up but I cannot remember what one and there is no label on it!

 (AHEM, terrible marketing strategy -- If you are going to make a amazing bag put your information on it so I can purchase more from you!!)

-x-

My skirt is a somewhat DIY- I got it from a local thrift store for around $5 and cut off around 4ish inches :) 

-x-

My belt is from JCPenny it came with a blouse I bought a few years back. I actually ended up never wearing the shirt but I ALWAYS use the belt.

  Some people mistake it for a weight lifting belt... I keep that in my car though ;)

I like to call my footwear Horse Shoes because the U cut and the buckle just always remind me of horse back riding. 

I got them from Savers for $8 -- They are originally from Lucky!

I guess I just got LUCKY with that find ;)

I also bought the awesome tribal necklace at Savers for $5!! 

It makes me feel like a warlord in the native lands.

Until next time (which will hopefully be sooner than later)

Oh Vicky Dangerous

A little over a week ago I got to participate in another Riley and the Roxies video! 

This video had the largest cast yet & it was such a blast styling and participating in the video!

Yours Truly

In this particular video I was solely responsible for my costume and Ms. Vicky Dangerous!

The other outfits were a collaborated effort & a mix of closets

and a large variety of second-hand stores. 

Below is a collage of the characters, their costumes and some fun facts about the outfits :)

For some Behind - The - Scenes:

Aztec Accessories: DailyBuzz Style 9x9

A special thanks to the lovely people at Accessorize who made this style challenge possible, and are the sponsors of this post.

 To check out their complete line of jewelry, please visit: http://us.accessorize.com/.

When I first saw this necklace I knew EXACTLY what I was going to pair with it. 

I had just purchased a tribal patterned tank and this rustic maroon floor length maxi dress at Savers a little bit ago. 

 I had an inkling that this WAS the look I wanted to showcase this necklace.

It all started with a necklace:

Which inspired me to pair it with this shirt:

Which led to feeling like a Aztec Princess:

Put on some heels to polish the look:

And escorted me straight into fashion heaven!

The patterns on the necklace and blouse 

reminded me of ancient pottery bowls and vases.

Necklace: C/O Accesorize.com    Shirt: Caribou NY @ Savers $5

Skir: Vintage D'Knits @ Savers $3

Thank you again to Accessorize.com and DailyBuzz Style for choosing Here and Wow for the 9x9 Style Challenge.

Little Miss Katniss

Today I brought out my inner 'Katniss' and this is what I would wear to 'Reaping Day'

-x-

I was feeling a lot better today and wanted to take advantage of that so here is a post!

(Like I said last post, I will usually only do posts Mondays or Wednesdays)

Today is special!

1. I feel pretty good (which is a first for a while)

2. The Hunger Games comes out tonight!

Skirt: vintage $1.50 (Thrifted @ Savers)

Olive Tank: randomly appeared in my closet a year ago (Forever 21)

Of course I wore a Olive Green Tank to represent Katniss, since she ROCKS that color throughout the novels. 

Shoes: My Roommates (Target Mossimo)

When I read The Hunger Games I imagined this soft lighting a eerie fairytale of horror type look during 'Reaping Day'

Necklaces: Forever 21 & Nordstrom

Katniss had a braid, but I opted for 3 bun twists!

Thank you all for being so understanding as I deal with my health!

xoxo

Dash of Orange

Twas the first day of the semester and with it being 73 and sunny in So-Cal

 I opted for a dress and sheer tights. 

Papaya Dress - Thrifted at Savers 

Mothers old scarf/necklace

Franco Sarto heels: Thrifted at Goodwill 

I absolutely love the stitching and the large buckle! It gives an outfit a 'retro kick'

I am feeling much better & am looking forward to the healthy days to come!

ps: Next Monday will be the first 'Mens Wear' feature!
