New Accessories

I have obtained quite a few new accessories as of late and thought I might share!



I have been using the studded bag like crazy! I also switched all of my items into my new Pendleton wallet. The shoes are the only items I haven't taken out on the open road just yet. I'm in love with the lace up booties because with the 6" heels put me at a whopping 6'5"! The tallest in all the land!!!!!!

Pulling Together All the Loose Ends

This was the best day off in a long long time. Woke up sent some outfitting inspiration photos into work (even on days off I work!) made a huge breakfast, did some interwebbing, cleaned my home, and organized my closets. I never get time to organize my closets so it's sort of exciting for me when i get a chance. I also got these amazing moth repelling spices for Christmas so I had to work them into the mix. I basically covered my house in the spices! I hate moths more than anything in the world, literally! They are so gross, plus they eat clothes so obviously I am in a constant war against them.




I was also trying to make room for my new items! I always leave new clothes in a separate bag until I take the tags off for the first time, then they can be worked into the old rotation. These are just some quick pics of my closet and 2 of my 3 rolling racks. I also have a coat closet and a set of dresser drawers.  Excessive to some, but for me it's just right! Also I fold my tee shirts retail style on account of my day job.... it's kind of sad ;)

Happy Holidays

These last couple of weeks have been so busy with holiday madness I can hardly stand it. But today that is all over and it is time to relax with my family. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family and friends. I will post some pics of the amazing gifts I received tomorrow...


I know that I already have posted pics of this same dress in a burnt orange color but I had to buy it in black as well. It was on sale for $9.99 and I just couldn't say no. It has finally been cold enough for me to bust out my favorite vintage leopard print coat. Happy Holidays Loves hope you all are having an amazing season.

Busy Like A Bee

Things have been so crazy lately I have been neglecting all the interwebbing! These are just a few quick shots of some random junk that has come up lately.....




I made a wreath with my Mother a couple of weeks ago, you know for the holidays ;) Then the Nightmare Girls had a fancy lady cocktail party last weekend. I dressed like a real life fancy lady! I even took off the 2 silver necklaces that I never take off! It was a shock for everyone. Then the last 2 pics are of my collection of jewels that I have finally started unpacking. Yes! I know I moved over 6 months ago but I still have 2 boxes left to unpack. Sometimes it just takes awhile to make space for everything. I mean, I have a lot of shit! Happy Holidays Lovelies!

Snake Cakes

I just got these cute little snake skin booties and I really can't tell you how much I love them! They are about 4" high so they make me 6'3" which I really enjoy. Plus they are just ugly enough to be amazing.


Not to mention that they are some of the most comfortable booties I have bought in a while. With winter already here I will be wearing these beauties a lot!

Hocus Pocus

                       Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!!!!


The Minx and I are having a wonderful Halloween afternoon. Watching Hocus Pocus, only one of my favorite movies ever, eating apples with carmel. Not too shabby after waking up at 3 am for work....




I did get to carve pumpkins over the weekend! Which I love to do even though I really am the worst at it. I had a friend over and lucky for me he sucks at it too ;) I also baked the seeds in hot wing sauce and man oh man did they turn out good. All in all, not too bad. Hope you all have a wonderful Halloween!

Also on a side note I would really like to have the huge tie dyed wall hanging that Max has in his room in the movie. (Hocus Pocus of course)

Striped Situation

This Saturday I got together with a good pal of mine JC. The two of us walked to a cafe had a coffee, went to the grocery, then another grocery and finally back to my place. Sounds kind of boring..... But if you had seen us trying to carry pumpkins back to my place you would have thought differently. We picked pumpkins that were far too heavy to be carrying through the city. So we sent the whole way home laughing hysterically making strange noises and basically looking like fools! My arms still hurt!



 All in all we had a lovely time.... even if we did look like fools. Plus I got to pull out one of my favorite coats of all time. I wear this coat literally all winter long. It seems to go with everything I own, so don't be surprised if you start to see a lot of it!

Crazy Legs.

I bought these sheer  printed wide leg pants a while back and finally worked them into the rotation this week. Now when I say rotation  you may think that there is some sort of weird order to when I wear my clothes. This really could not be more untrue. I am a mood dresser and it is actually really hard for me to find the right days to wear some of my freshly bought items. That being said, these pants finally got to walk in the real world this week.



I know you can barely see it in the pictures but the pants are actually kind of sheer. They have black shorties sewn in, which actually dyed my legs a bit when I wore them. But whatever. I my fancy pants with a black ribbed henley tank, a cropped By Corpus sweater, cowboy boots, and my favorite leather jacket. I had to keep my outfit fairly basic and comfy because I wore them to my day job and things have been pretty hectic lately. I feel like I will enjoy these babies a lot more in the summer when it finally gets warm....

Just a few quick things....

I have been having some pretty up and down luck with my vintage shopping these days. I'm having a hard time finding the items I need for projects at my day job. But I have been finding some pretty good personal items....



Both the purse and vest were only $5 a piece!!!!!! I almost passed out from excitement when I found them. As for the beautiful bracelets, one of my wonderful aunts gave them to me. May family has also been unloading vintage treasures on me which is surprising and amazing at the same time! I recently got two of my aunts 70's wedding dresses. They are both Gunne Sax dresses and have only been worn once! I will be posting pics of the dresses as soon as possible and may even end up selling one of them, we will have to see.....

I also got this cute little plant from a special friend that just sits in a bottle of water and looks cute. I put it on the window sill in my shower so my crazy cat can't get to it and eat it. My cat loves all vegetation for some weird reason..... XX Dolls!

Kimono Killer!

I could literally live in kimonos. I only have a handful right now, by that I mean less than 10 ;) This is the newest addition to my small collection.


I just couldn't say no to the floral print. I am now on the hunt for a fringe piano jacket..... I think I may need some luck to find one of those babies....

Also p.s. the jeans I'm wearing are full on flares.... Sounds gross but are possibly the most flattering jeans I own.

New Treasures....

I have been buying far too many items lately. Sometimes a girl just can't say no. I literally have a huge bag of clothes with the tags still on them that I have yet to work into the rotation. Lucky for my pocket book I am quite the bargain hunter.  Here are a few quick pics of some of my fave things as of late.



The crochet tank and boots I bought at work and the blanket I got while thrifting for the online store my pals and I are about to launch. The blanket was only $3 and is really pretty soft. I have one other crochet tank situation that I just got, but I will be posting that later this week. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week...

Walk Like and Egyptian

I finally got to take my silky Egyptian top out into the real world! I bought this little beauty weeks ago on a thrifting trip with Miss Terris, but haven't found the right time to wear it. Until today!!!!!




I also had to break out one of my Fall sweaters, as the great Northwest has decided it's ready to change seasons already. My first day back at my day job and all in all it wasn't that bad.
