Hit List: No Mustaches About It

I've been seeing the mustache come through lately as a motif and decided to explore my curly curiosity. Not only are they in apparel and jewelry, but also novelty gifts such as the bandages and window clings. I even saw pillowcases and snow globes, all growing out the curly looking thing. Why mustaches? Is fashion cycling back to the Western front? Would definitely explain the cowboy boots, hats, and buckles. And hey, we all like a little mystery, right?

Weekly Secret Weapon: Clip-ons!

As I've mentioned before, I was lucky enough to inherit my Grandmother's vintage jewelry collection. I wear a lot of the pieces daily, but some are more difficult to incorporate more frequently than others. I've been playing around with different ways to wear clip-on earrings in a fresh, new way!



There are several ways to wear old, vintage gems. Today, I decided to wear these beauties in my hair and clipped on my shoes.


There are many other ways to wear them: used as sweater clips, clipped on necklaces for added charms, purse clips, and if you're brave....on your ears (ouch!). I suggest only wearing them on your ears for a few hours, or investing in stick-on padding to put on the clip for a little ease on your ears.



It's definitely fun to bring back these clips...now show me yours!

Daily Fashion Show: Jungle Boogie

Today's fashion show is sponsored by the jungle! Felt very safari chic today in my snake print high-waisted skirt from Express, gold beaded top from Urban, and a fun little snake bracelet from work. What made the outfit complete was my crazy Carrie hair...seriously brought to you by the humid-nast weather here in IL! Makes me want to say grrrrr.

Daily Fashion Show: Addicted to Flowers

Ok, I'm starting to admit it. I am addicted to flowers. I think I wear them everyday. It is so fun to wear them and bring out the different qualities in my clothing within feminine, romantic, girly, boho, you-name-it styles. Today I layered two chiffon blouses, the underneath being a floral print barely showing through and the top with a crocheted floral neckline. To top it all off, I wore my new flower cuff from Icing. Though the weather outside was hazy, my floral outfit brightened my day! Tune in again for your next addiction...

Hit List: Feeling the Love

I'm feeling a lot of love in the air lately as several co-workers have brought in their newborns to work.

Daily Fashion Show: Time for Shorts!

I've never really been a big shorts girl, but I've been seeing a lot of fun shorts lately and decided to give them another chance. I've had theses green ones for awhile and I thought it would be a perfect day to dig them out again. Paired them with a borrowed shirt from my sister and some vintage jewelry to play up the green. My boyfriend and I had a fun taking pictures in the garden and posing with the trees!

Daily Fashion Show: A Walk to the Mailbox

I am constantly feeling like I am reinventing my current wardrobe. Sometimes, it can be a chore, but other times, it can be really fun to see the combination you can come up with! Today, I combined one of my favorite dresses with my vintage pink-sequined vest. The colors just seemed to work, especially with my green and pink beaded necklace and other gold pieces to match. This outfit made me happy today, not just because of the successful combo, but the pieces truly brought out my personality: a little vintage, a lot of eclectic, and a bit of sparkle.
