Woolgathering
wool·gath·er·ing [wool-gath-er-ing]: noun 1. indulgence in idle fancies and in daydreaming; absentmindedness.
(my favorite word!)
My first product review!
Firmoo (a global online optical store) sent me these amazing tortoise “old man” glasses (what I enjoy calling them)
I usually have trouble finding glasses that fit my face the way I like, having a huge head doesn’t help lol but I was prett-y surprised when I received these frames in the mail!
What’s really awesome about Firmoo is that for new customers, they give you your first pair free, so0o0oo you should check em out
Here’s the link for that first devirginizing pair to put on your face: http://www.Firmoo.com/free-glasses.html
Enjoy! I hope you like them just as much I <3 mine="" p="">

I wish I received more photos of this outfit during the photoshoot but at least this one is a candid cute one!
There’s a fun memory associated with this dress! My friend had told me about this AA outlet and how they didn’t have dressing rooms, that you had to change in the middle (or corner, like I did ha) of the store! I had to go check this out haha and very true it was. Luckily my best friend was with me so he covered me up some in the corner

Every one should own a pair of combat boots, I can’t believe I got these at such a steal! Sift through everything people!

The more I see monotone outfits, the more I love them. Especially since grey is my favorite color. I love the collar with this pockets, simple, casual and effective. The rolled up pants and exposed socks are a nice ending touch to the look. Euro men know what’s up!

Get Grungyyyy
90′s grunge is coming back!
I was inspired while I was in Europe a few weeks ago. I swear the people there are stuck in the 90′s!! The fashion, the piercings, the music! It’s kinda funny but I liked it. The only thing that could’ve been changed was the love of Adidas. I’m just not a fan but hey whatever tickles your fancy!
You know what’s weird? Plaid.
Plaid works on E V E R Y person and style. It’s so versatile, I love it. Every person should have a plaid shirt in their closet, male or female.

Blue Borsa
I'm lovin' on this purse I got while I was in Italy a few weeks ago! I wasn't sure if it was going to go with many things I had but so far so good :D
Get your bold, colorful purse ladiessss!

Hey Girl, Stay Classy
The title indicates something Ryan Gosling might say, so ladies, you should probably take it into consideration :P
For this outfit, I'm not going to be able to provide prices and places the way I normally do because, well, everything I'm wearing is pretty old and my memory won't be serving on this fine day. Apologies!
It's a classic look.
Black on black on black with a splash of color---can never go wrong!
Originally, the coat had the case of the 4 B's: Big Boring Black Buttons, the 4 B's aren't always bad though, just in this case!
SO! I replaced them!
I bought the buttons from an antique store, they came in a jar filled with similar ones and it was only $5! I thought it was one of my best thrifty finds :)
I found the bandana/scarf from a thrift store.
I'm generally inspired by men's fashion so this piece went down that road.
I like when men wear ascots so I was having a play on that look with this one ;)
The laced boots are from a store in Paris that I wish I could go back to right now---they were surprisingly really cheap, €20, I
believe. You can't really tell in the pic but they're wedges, so I think
this look gives a touch of masculinity and femininity ^_^
I hope you like!

Black-Gold-Silver Nails
I finally got around to doing my nails, the chipped look wasn't so in XD
This is such an easy nail-do! Just paint with whatever color and get some clear/glitter nail polish and paint the tips--no worries about trying to be neat about it, which is the best part! Clear coat it up and wah-lah!

Flower Power
If it wasn't obvious enough with the title, my favorite piece of this outfit is the blazer! I like funky things especially when the only cost me $2 at a thrift store! Yeah, I couldn't believe it either! :P
Tip: Look through racks very thoroughly--give every piece of clothing a chance to be seen with your eyes.
Thrift hard n thrift good ladies!
Also! I'm not sure how it is nationally but...the Salvation Army offers 50% off on Wednesdays! So go hide something in a totally irrelevant section until Wednesday if you're there on any other day! :P
Blazer: Salvation Army $2
Top: Nordstrom Rack $15
Necklace: Forever 21 $? (It's old!) probably $8-$10
Pants: H&M $15
Shoes: Charlotte Russe $? (Also old!) probably $20-$30
Tip 2: Don't throw away old heels that have a problem (i.e. broken heel), especially if they're a classic pair like these ones! Because these had the metal exposed on the heels and I couldn't walk with them! That was until I brought them to the local shoe doctor! Shoe repair stores have always been looked over to me but not anymore!! $9 to fix unwalkable heels and it's like having a new pair again since I haven't worn them in so long!

Bling-Bling!
I found this top in the ladies section...I've noticed lately when I go shopping, I feel somewhat torn between the juniors and ladies departments.
This may sound foolish but...is there a specific time when you're supposed to make headway into a new department? The obvious is that you're growing older, more mature and change of styles and tastes are always abound. But then when is it not okay to move backwards? I mean, I'm 24--I think it's alright to move between these two departments, right? Lol. I guess until someone either tells me I'm dressing too young for my age or people start giving me the "What is she wearing" look XD
Top: TJ Maxx (Ralph Lauren) $40
Bottoms: Rainbow $20
Shoes: Flea market $5
Necklace: Jewelry stand at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino $130
Bracelets: Aldo $12
Watch: Macy's (Style & Co.) $30
TOTAL: $237

Aztec Love
I bought this sweater at Urban Outfitters about a year ago. It was on the clearance rack for $10!!! AND IT HAS POCKETS! I love stuff with pockets...because I have a love-hate relationship with holding purses!
I love the colors in the sweater, they're my main pop appeal and it's not too thick or thin!
Everyone needs a sweater they can rely on, and this is mine.
Sweater: Urban Outfitters $10
Pants: H&M $15
Hat: H&M $12
Shoes: So old I can't remember but I'm going to give a guess of $20
Necklace: H&M $7
Total: Around $65 :P

deFLOWERed
Clearwater Beach Uncorked: Food & Wine Festival with Monzzz!
A little late in posting since it was on Oct. 17, 2012!
It was so much fun! And who can pass up free food and wine?! (My friend worked for the event and we snagged some free tix, beats paying $85/ticket! ha)
Annnyway, I wasn't 100% sure on how to dress for the occasion considering it was being held under a tent in the sand/on the beach aaaand how classy/upscale or downscale it was going to be. So, I wore an outfit that I felt was bisexual haha or rather could go either way :P
The first photo lacks the blazer and has a different necklace than the one I actually wore---my mom gave me the one I wore (gold chain links) for my birthday and I thought to wear it after I already took the first photo.
So0ooo...for the outfit breakdown:
Blazer: H&M $40
Top: Nordstrom Rack $15
Bottoms: Nordstrom Rack $27
Shoes: Fleamarket $5
Watch: Macy's (Style & Co.) $30
Bracelets: Aldo $12
Necklace (1st photo): H&M $7
Necklace (worn--gold chain links): Gift from my Mamaaa but she got it at the jewelry stand @ the Seminole Hard Rock Casino--$130
Total: Between $136 - $259, depending on which necklace :P

Skull & Bold
I must say, I got pretty lucky finding this sheer black top with skulls on it that perfectly matches the skull necklace I have! :D
Lovin' on the bold and bright colored blazers I've been seeing around! Also the black & gold accessories trend.
Tip: I have a shortish torso, I think wearing high waisted pants (at least enough to cover your bellybutton) gives a longer effect on the body--longer legs, holla! Plus I don't like how bellybuttons look when revealed through a sheer top, that may just be my personal opinion and I may just be weird like that but yeahhhh ;)
Top: TJ Maxx $13
Blazer: H&M $40
Pants: H&M $15
Necklace: Plato's Closet $6
Purse: H&M $15
Shoes: Store @ University Square Mall $30
Total: $119
