Inspiration! Bandage Skirt + Blazer = Amazing

This is the perfect outfit.

That skirt.
That blazer!
Those SHOESSS.

I want to copy this like I've never copied anything before. I don't have a red skirt though. And I doubt I could look as chic as she manages to do... Still, it makes me want to drag myself to Goodwill and find a skirt worth trying out this look on!

Do you guys start to get in fashion ruts? I have lots of cute dresses but I keep going back to my skinny jeans...I don't quite know why...I'll try to break out more dresses this week :)

Chictopia...everyone's doing it

So I joined Chictopia today. You can find my chic blog here. I gotta say, though, I think this will be a good endevour. Look at all these new inspirations?







And there are many bloggers already on there, like Poppy Lee from Thats just my vibe, really.

So overall, I'm excited to see what happens with chictopia. It will either be really fun or I'll lose interest in like 2 days like most things. Ah, oh well. For now, I'm enjoying you can break down your outfits in categories of styles -- I enjoyed looking at the business casual and geek ones. I look forward for there being more and more to go through. :)

Alice In Wonderland

There is something about Alice in Wonderland I just love. I really wanted to dress as her for Halloween last year but when I went to look for costumes they all roughly looked like this sexed-up version:


and I really wasn't into showing off my body for a holiday. I dont know, as far as it seems to me, the girls in Mean Girls are right Halloween is an excuse for girls to dress as slutty as possible without anyone saying anything about it. I don't know why thats the case, because I don't really want to dress slutty any time of the year -- why do it for that day? I want to look attractive, but there are ways to do it without showing off my ass/chest. I think its better to leave to the imagination.

Anyways, I saved a few pics of Alice in Wonderland-type images on my computer, and it all came floating back to my memory when I saw this photo of Lorena Cupcake:




Thats not even a dress, but a vintage shirt and skirt. But, she's a Lolita sweet version of Alice. This picture makes me want to die its so good. Haha.

And I always liked this version, found on google or something:
This look seems very accessible to me...


I just love the little teapot...other than that she isn't very Alice-y...

And of courseee,

Alice herself!

Those Mary Janes....

I've had my eyes out for some mary janes (with heels, though) and found some at Macys! So I snatched them up to go with my bridesmaid dress (just gotta approve them with the bride soon):

Photoshoot pictures

As promised,

I didn't know if my friend who took these, Becky, would mind if I put pictures of her on here and I didn't ask so I figured I'd just use the pictures of me. There is a couple cute ones of both of us. I like having little fun photo-taking outtings. Just walking around and chatting and stuff. Very nice evening. So, hopefully there will be more days like this...

Oh, and Dress: Jovovich-Hawk for Target :)

Where have all the pictures gone?

So, I've been an awful blog mama, but I'm still in classes (damn my college for being on quarters!) so its getting towards the stressful end-of-term stuff....I have been trying to keep up with dressing cute/taking pictures and I finally wore my Jovovich-Hawk dress the other day and my friend and I had a mini photoshoot, but I haven't gotten the pics from her yet, so this shall be a teaser...

Thursday: Tulips and Toesies


Friday: Lunch with the boy, no pics besides my pretty bracelet...


Sunday: An actual full-body outfit shot!
Dress: Ross
Shoes: Bitten by Sarah Jessica Parker, Steve&Barrys
Sunglasses: Also Ross, cuz I buy cheap clothes

Also! Who else loves Aveeno for the sunscreen-friendly moisturizers and stuff? I'm planning on staying pale for awhile, but I may sneak a little sun in. My boyfriend got the worst sun-burn yesterday, so I'm avoiding that!
