Smells like teen spirit

So this morning it was cold. (68 degrees is cold by So Cal standards okay) I had to be at work by 7, and knowing that it would be hot later I didn't want to wear a jacket. What's the next best thing to wear then? A studded flannel, yay! Now, I'm PMS-ing, so all I really want to do is wear sweatpants cuz they're the only thing that fit me right now, but alas, sweats are NSFW. What's the next best thing to wear then? High-waisted, shiny leggings, yay!

flannel- h&m, leggings- DTLA, glasses- h&m

Now no 90's grunge look is complete without a tiny backpack. God I love my lil packy.
 
backpack- vintage gifted

  Ain't she cute? So yeah, thats my take on grunge. Commercial grunge? At least I do actually listen to those Seattle bands. 

cheers

Breakfast bunch

Mmmmm, breakfast. Went to a nice family breakfast this morning. Pancakes rule! The weather is grey and sprinkling here and there, but it's still warm enough for shorts. I went with a loose-fitting,.printed pair. I love these shorts, but I've only wore them like, twice. When I first bought them, they barely fitand now that I've lost some lbs, they're too loose! I probably will have to put them in the donate pile. I topped off the shorts with a denim blousethat I got on sale at Kohl's. I added some tan wedge booties to pull the look together.

Top- Kohls, shorts-h&m, booties-marshalls

  Now I'm going to nap before I have to work my 5-11pm shift. That's crap, right. Some bull-shift. Oh well, have a lovely Sunday.

Cheers!

Fun with fringe

Well hello hello. Today's look was fringey and fiery. I wore a black tank top with a rad feather print and trimmed with fringe! Super cute, fun shirt. I found it at a small shop that unfortunately went outta business. Sad. I paired the top with some red pants and brown wedges and was off to work to deal with the same shit. Oh well, I looked and felt pretty awesome, so I guess that's all that matters.

Top- pretty good, pants- h&m, shoes-justfab, accessories- h&m

  and don't make fun of my giant phone ;) 

Cheers!

Big bow babe

Today got some pretty good news concerning my career. So keep your fingers crossed for me, k, thanks! Anywho, so what did I wear today? I opted for a black tank top and leopard printed pants.


What keeps this outfit from being to blah is  what's going on in the back. (I wish it was my booty)  
Look at that cute bow! Ugh, I know. It's such an unexpected little detail and that's why I love it so. 
Cheers!!!

P.s. all clothes-h&m

Juvenile delinquent

Today's outfit was inspired by one of my favorite movies, Crybaby. For some reason this top reminds me of something that a scrape dame would wear. It must be the color and peplum trim. I paired it with old jeans (I need a new pair), red lips and flats. To add something different to not go full retro, I threw on my glasses. All in all I love this damn blouse.

Top, jeans, glasses- h&m

And I love Crybaby. If you haven't seen it, you haven't lived.

Shoes. Shoes. Shoes. OMG shoes.

Hell-o everybody! (Hi Dr. Nick!) Huh? Today is all about shoes. Don't get me wrong, I love clothes and all, but there is something about a shoe that gets me going. It's like the chick from the movie In Her Shoes said; "You can't look fat in shoes." Or something to that nature, but I mean it's freaking true! I never feel like a blob in 5-inch heels. Even with my big ol size 9 patas, when I'm in the right shoe my feet feel surprisingly dainty and feminine. Like in this pair my wonderful sister sent me. (Thanks sizzle!)

They're super cute, right! They're Massimo from Target. Good ole Target.  
Top: Lola Daisy, bottom: Celestia- 
 both from Just Fab! (BOGO)

 How about these 2 pairs I just got in the mail yesterday? Swoon!!! I wore the Lola's to work today. And sheesh, people were very concerned about me having foot pain. No pain, no gain, and I looked hot!!!  However, I got right into my p.j.s  when I got home today and then I remembered,  I forgot to take a picture. Aw crap, I'm the worst style blogger.  So yeah, I really need to start taking pictures right when I get ready.

 Anyways, let's go buy some shoes and then rock the hell outta them!!! 

cheers!

Not so basic black

hello everyone. Today's post is all about being anything but basic. If you're living here in L.A. you've noticed the weather has been super humid and muggy lately, yuck. I originally wanted to wear shorts, but alas, all my shorts are NSFW... sorry, not sorry. I decided on a basic black skirt and tank top combo, but I ain't no basic bitch! To amp up the boring black I wore my sheer brown kimono and my super cutie booties! Bam, what a difference one unique piece can make. I felt very fierce today, ready to take on the wild world of retail. What can I say, it was a good day.


  kimono-jeanology in uptown Whittier, tank and skirt- h&m, booties- got em at Ross

I wish I woulda accessorized a bit more, with maybe a statement necklace and a cuff or something, but oh well, you get the idea. I'm proud of myself for pulling off that heel for 8 hours too. I definitely will be incorporating more heels into my day to day from now on. 

Cheers!

Mellow yellow

Hi everyone. Today was a little crazy, but life  can be a little crazy now and then.  I try to remember  to look on the bright side. Positivity is something that I'm trying to incorporate more into my day to day, and I'm hoping that this will bring bigger and better things in my life. So enough idealism, let's get to the clothes. I've been going through a yellow dress phase this spring and summer. I have 3 in my closet, hah! What I like about today's dressy dress in particular is how vibrant it is. I mean how could I NOT smile while wearing this? I  topped it off with my denim vest that's starting to really show the mileage. (Note to self, get a new vest.) I paired this with my cowboy boots that I am crazy in love with. Seriously, every girl needs a pair of cowboy(girl?) boots!

   vest-vintage, dress- h&m, boots- mia 

btw, I'm mobile blogging, so sorry if the layout is off  =) 

cheers!

Long lost lazy girl

Hellooooo... anyone there? It's me, at long last, back in the blogging game! I'm not gonna make excuses, but I'm feeling totally inspired and wanting to dressy dress up lately. Anywho, today's outfit was a simple t-shirt and skirt, but with a twist! Leopard and turquoise... and a tan! Throw in my favorite lip color, Suedeberry, and I look nice and pulled together. Did I mention I'm obsessed with the Lime Crime Velvetines, because I am. 
Top- H&M, skirt-H&M


P.S. Just Fab is having a BOGO again, I'm waiting for 2 new pairs... I'll keep you updated, go buy some. 
cheers!
