KAVA KAVA

I got dressed up and headed over to Hollywood to have my 1st Kava bar experience with one of my best friends.




I got these awesome rings over time. The cross and the one with the rinestones are from Forever 21 and the huge black stoned one is from a vintage store. I love covering my wrist and fingers. It feels odd when they are bare.





The necklace I am wearing it also from a thrift store by my school. I always find beautiful things there. My long shawl cardigan is from American Apparel. Under it I wore a little black spandex dress from there too. Its been a little cool outside so I wore over the knee black wedge leather boots from DSW.
My friend and I really enjoyed the feeling we got from the kava rather then the taste. We intend to go back very soon :-)

a south beach day

This evening I went out with a girlfriend from work and we ate sushi on south beach. It has been beautiful out in south Florida so it was a perfect idea.



My high waist pants are from American Apparel. My shoes are Steve Madden.









My cream knit tank top is also American Apparel and my twill blazer is from Urban Outfitters.

Today was such a beautiful day in South Florida. Unfortunately, I had class all day but every chance I got to escape, I went outside and enjoyed it. I completed some assignments on my lap top while drinking a soy latte outside of Starbuck's :-)



My dress is from American Apparel, the typical U back dress. I never wear it alone, always use it as a slip. Its so perfect to layer things with though. The floral vest I'm wearing is from Salvation Army. I think the colors are perfect for Fall- dark & soft.



And of course I had to wear my steve madden high leather boots. The beginning of fall ya know? Had to make it feel real !



Hopefully it gets cooler out. I'm looking forward to wearing nice sweaters and pants. I've already pulled out all my panty hose, can't wait !

Taking my sweet, precious time

The past couple days have gone by in a minute. I was extremely occupied this weekend. Both Thursday and Friday I stayed out until 5am and oh do I love Miami and if New York doesn't work out next summer then maybe I won't mind resigning in Miami for some time. My friend and I actually been looking at apartments downtown. Hmmm but New York is where my heart is. Only time can tell.



Today I let my velvet vest embroidered with gold lay over my shoulders. I found it at a thrift store and I immediately adored it. I looked a little nude considering I was wearing a nude body suit underneath it.



Every time I wear this body suit I find a couple people do a double take. But then theres always that one obnoxious and belligerent friend that exclaims "OH MY GOSH I THOUGHT YOU WERE NAKED !" -__________- With high waist black short pull up and buttoned I went to class.



After only one coffee, one green tea lemonade and a full water bottle the day has come to a rest.
Well not really because I have a ton of things to do after class................ :-)

I was your silver lining, but now I'm gold.

This week I've come down with a weak cold and my body has been acting really funky. I've found myself fixated on my imperfections every morning. Attempting to make myself not look completely under the weather. Especially when the weather has been absolutely beautiful the last two days.

Along with the being sick, I've been feeling odd about other things that have been cluttered in my head. I've been day dreaming and night dreaming about the same human-being and to be honest, I'm just over it. I'm ready for these particular subconscious thoughts to come out and then completely dissolve.




My light sheer chiffon button ups have been my favorite lately. They're new at my job and I pretty much put it on top of everything. It feels so soft on my skin. I think it has an antique and classic look to it. I mean you don't see much chiffon anymore unless its on a fancy dress or the trim of an article of clothing. This color is called "bone". Its a very creamy light color and looks beautiful over black.



This day I wore my tiffany chiffon over a tube dress, which acts like a slip, with classic cream heels. The heels are thrift but the tube dress and tiffany chiffon are from my job, American Apparel.
I belted the over sized chiffon button up with a leather belt which had a bright gold buckle. My life, gold.
I dashed over to the bank like any over typical Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning at work. And after depositing the money I opened the store and my day of cleaning / organizing / assisting began.



Like always I wore all my vintage gold bracelets and big gold and cream earrings. This day was beautiful and even though I felt slightly drained and a little irregular, the sun was shining and the day was pleasant.

Trousers, Dress pants, Slacks, What?

I feel like nothing beats a nice pair of pleated pants. If its ether with a ruffled top or a plain white tank, it always looks nice and clean. Just like high waist shorts you can just pull them on over anything. Especially the linen pants. If you shop around you can find a good pair of comfortable yet "acceptable" high waist cropped linen pants.







I found these photos on lookbook and the first two are from out of the country. I found the one above absolutely adorable. Her trousers fit her perfectly. They ARE suppose to be a little loose. The ones I own are mostly this style.






This girls pants look a little thicker. The style of the pants are really cool. I like how high they go and how they have a belt loop. Something like this you can pull over a leotard which is really fast and easy. Pulling over a loose long sleeve top like she did and tucking it in is different. This outfit looks extremely comfortable and I love it.






I adore and appreciate this girls laid back trendy style so much. You really don't see much of it. She didn't even tuck her shirt in all the way. This is something I'd throw together real quick and be insecure about looking like a ridiculous slob but really I would look really social and approachable? Just a truly dainty outfit.







Theres also these which are unisex from American Apparel. Guys where them as dress pants. But on girls you can just pull them over a leotard or something and slip on flats and go. Perfect clean comfortable look. You have to try on a couple pairs and you will probably be a larger size then what you think since there high waist on girls and we have hips. They're a little tighter then the ones above but they're actually flattering, you may not think so because they're intended for a males body but TRY THEM.

I planned on taking pictures of myself in mine but I havent had time to snap some shots but I WILL. Until then experiment yourself, tell me what you think and give me some tips myself ~ :****

PETTIIII

For the past month or so I've seen petti-coats in random stores.
Where I work, American Apparel, sells beautiful ones.





I've seen cheaper ones at Forever 21 and H&M but the ones at American Apparel are really nice and they have many layers so you don't just have to wear them under skirts or dresses.
My mom was so shocked when I bought one. She said I had one when I was like two years old. HA. HA.
I would !






I have a black one and a white one but the black one is a little more casual. In this picture I tucked in a button up. Sometimes I wear bodysuits with it. Most petti-coats are longer but this one you can pull down to your lower hips so it flares out under something OR you can pull it up and wear it over something. It very precious :-)
