Hit List: Bird is the Word

Bird, bird, bird....bird is the word, that is, of course, when it comes to fashion! This week, I found countless, gorgeous pieces--all with some sort of a bird print or motif. I absolutely love every piece on this list, but my favorites are the maxi skirt that has a sort of inkblot bird print, the feather hair extensions, and the Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag. I acutally almost bought this bag months ago and still wonder why I haven't?! It's simply divine! So fashionistas, don't hold back with fashion this week, be free as a bird!

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!

Saw all these great glittery pieces this week and couldn't help but fall in love. I know all of these peices are hella expensive, but totally fun and worth it.

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!

Hit List: Fairest of Them All

As an ultra-girlie girl, I often ask myself, who doesn't want to be fairy princess? While scouring the internet this week, I stumbled across many beautiful pieces that screamed with the theme of a fairy princess. The question is, what is fairest of them all? My favorite pieces here are the ruffle dress from Modcloth, the crystal ring also from Modcloth, and the Valentino floral shoes from Neiman Marcus.

Weekly Secret Weapon: Tatted Up

Ever want to get a tattoo but too scared to try? Why not fake it? I'm not talking about fake tattoos that you are thinking about, you know, the ones you wore a kid that were hearts and happy faces. This is the "real" stuff....





I came across these tattoo sleeve armwarmers at work actually and wondered if it was something already out there at retail. It is! There are several places you can get these from to get the affect of having a real tattoo sleeve. Here are a few sites I found them at:

Prank Place
Temporary Tattoo Sleeve
Bullyvard Tattoo

It's super fun and will definitely make your friends, family, and co-workers take a second look at you. So never fear, you don't have to spend thousands (of dollars, hours, and pain) to get the look of a sleeve, you can fake it!
