Daily Fashion Show: Blue Flu

Lately, I've had the blues, fashion blues that is. And what better way to come back to you all by bringing them out in my accessories? I wore this to a friend's wedding a few weeks ago and absolutely loved all the floral details and vintage touches.



Saw this dress and Anthropologie and just died. I had to buy it, a definite Tiffany dress, don't you think? The 3D flowers killed me and I knew I had to find some even killer shoes for this.

The bright blue of these shoes totally caught my eye. They are a great summer shoe, a wedge, with a raffia sole and fun, satin strands that look like a flower. Last but not least, the bag. I had to have a bright bag to match and I loved this envelope clutch.



To top it all off, a necklace combo created by yours truly. I just love mixing a vintage necklace with a brooch. Gives the item a face-lift, huh?! So I may have been a little MIA and had the blues, but I least I turned them into something fabulous!

Daily Fashion Show: Gorg in Orange

Who says nothing rhymes with orange? I say gorg does and that's cause I am today. I chose to pair my bright coral-colored dress with a butterfly printed scarf (worn as a head wrap) and bright purple socks.



I also thought wearing a white cardigan would brighten up this ensemble even more. Even though the weather hasn't been holding up, it doesn't mean I can't dress the part!



Someone at work today told me that I looked like Lucille Ball. She said "I hope you don't take offense to it." My reply was "hell no, Lucy is hot!" When I thought about it, we acutally have a ton in common. We are both red heads, we both tend to wear clothes from the 50's, and the best part, we both have Latino lovers. Hehe! Hope you all had a great start to the week!

Planet Vintage

Welcome to planet vintage!!! Ok, so the top is not (actually it's a dress I covered up with a skirt), but the skirt is. Love the combination of anything old and new and this combo just seemed to do it flawlessly.





I love the combination of the thicker rocker boots and dainty jewelry. Gives the ensemble a little bit of a an attitude.



Love this little star ring, found only at Claires!



Hope you have a fabulous weekend, come visit planet vintage again soon!

Daily Fashion Show: Show Me the Glitz

Today's ensemble concentrated on none other than glitz. I've worn this skirt a few times now and decided this time, I'd bring out the shine in it.



The little strip of lurex running through the skirt was brought out by shiny bracelets and my stone splattered tunic. The browns I wore throughout somehow seemed to soften when I paired them with shiny coppers and lavender.



Also, you can't forget about the shoes! I also highlighted a little more glitz with my bronze sequin heels. Originally bought for a wedding, these pumps helped pump up the ensemble completely from head to toe.







Overall, I felt a little boho and a little feminine today but one thing is for sure, I definitely shined!

Daily Fashion Show: Pintastic

Well, the weather fooled us all in Chicago and it cold again, but that doesn't mean that your wardrobe needs to suffer. I still busted out my florals, even though the thermometer read sweaters.




To bring in even more color, I tied a butterfly printed scarf on my handbag. I also gave my ensemble a vintage nod with a pin I picked up from a thrift store.

This pin is simply gorgeous. It sparkles just like any girly girl wants and has the most perfect hand-painted petals I've ever seen.

So there Chicago, I don't care that can't make up your mind. I'm wearing only spring stuff going forward, I don't care!

Daily Fashion Show: Pretty Hippie

Today I did hippie my way, with vintage-inspired colors, an adorable flower clip, flares, and cowboy-esque booties.



I was never really one for muted browns and oranges, so why not spice it up with seafoam green? It's springy and refreshing! And what's even better is that I found a clip to match. I also sported a few vintage jewelry pieces to give me some sparkle.



I've always really loved flared jeans and am super pumped they are coming back. They just make your legs look great and aren't as limiting like skinny jeans. I also really like the cowboy boot look, but these booties really are great and a subtle way to wear this trend.

Last, I wore this amazing top as a crop today. It has an elastic band waist so you can pull it up or down depending on how you want to wear it. I thought it was a great way to get into that 70's look while still staying true to my vintage girl roots.

Daily Fashion Show: Leopard Girl

Ok, so seriously, I need to get another pair of pants I can wear to work. Not that I don't love wearing shorts, I do, but it so cold here in IL. Thank God for tights, eh?



Today's ensemble was all about playing up leopard by accenting with browns and blacks, and of course a girly touch, bows!



This amazing pin is from my Grandmother's collection and I proudly wear it when I can. I love the cherry blossoms in it, especially paired with the leopard. It gives the ensemble a fun factor.



Isn't my hair crazy today? I ran out of hairspray so it got all poofy. Luckily it's not humid yet but you never know, it's IL and crazier things have happened in our seasons!

Daily Fashion Show: Material Girl

Got a little in touch with my inner Madonna this weekend and sported some fantastic fingerless gloves. Of course they are embellished with bows and made from lace. Made me feel a little bit rocker and of course, ultra-girly.





I also sported my new bag I got from the Hong Kong market. Of course not real Anna Sui, but the florals and bows got my attention. It's a great little spring bag.



I mixed my girl rock look with skinny jeans, my boots, and a sequined vest. All about the balances! Now, if only I decided to wear my hair in it's natural way...80s style!
