ruffles for days

Hello you stylish ladies and gents out in blogland, sorry again for such a long time in between posts. I recently picked up ANOTHER job (which brings the total to 4) so I have even less time for things like blogging and sleeping. It’s ok though, I really enjoy all of them and they enable me to do fun things so I can’t complain. I do sincerely wish I had more time to devote to this little blog, but c’est la vie. Thanks to the lovely Charley for the kick in the ass though, a little encouragement never hurts!

This is a little number I wore to an event called Art Is Gay, featuring local gay and lesbian artists. It was great to see everyone’s stuff and even more fantastic that it ended with a dance party!

I was also thrilled to finally get a chance to wear this sash belt, my Gramma made it for herself 50 years ago!

What a great weekend it was! The Eco Go-Go fashion show went really well, and there will be some amazing pictures soon! We had all been so busy sewing and getting ready for the show that once it was over I realized that I hadn’t thought a single moment passed the show. That to me meant that I was owed a very large drink, which is exactly what we did.

The big bummer of the weekend though was that my camera stopped turning on. *insert sad trombone here* All that really means is that I’ll be borrowing Maya’s camera more and saving furiously for a DSLR. Speaking of Maya’s camera, I borrowed it today to snap a few at the park. Today I decided to play around with some filters, so you’ll notice a lack of continuity in the coloring and such. Lemme know what you think!!


It's fun to have your boyfriend as your photographer!

red alert

I have been trying to keep from shopping too much, so I allowed myself to spend a little at a recent trip to Fashion Cents and picked up this number. I don’t usually go for tan items, mostly because I forget how well it matches everything else. So I was pleasantly surprised when I started playing around with it and some of my accessories. This particular outfit I just kind of threw together so I could wear my red tights. Alas, right after I took these my puppy jumped up on me and ripped a giant hole in the leg. C’est la vie. That’s why I absolutely cannot justify spending any more than $10 on a pair of tights.

I love this little camera! If you look into the viewfinder, this is what you see, and every time you click the shutter, a new animal comes up. I’m kind of surprised that these came out this well.

I’m especially stoked about this dress because it completes my girl scout uniform Halloween costume! I blatantly stole the idea from Calivintage‘s costume this year, and as you can see her execution was totally perfect, per usual for Erin. I’m obviously channeling this costume already with my shoe choice!
