Hey Everyone! Happy Tuesday!

I hope you are all having a fantastic week so far. I have been having a fabulous week! This is what I wore to work yesterday! I have had this skirt since like 8th grade, and surprisingly it still fits (but a little tight around the butt). I have worn it on the blog several times, but this is the skirt I wore for my first outfit post on my blog! Good stuff. I love taking a piece that I love and recreating it. I decided to put a more polished look together this time. :)

Anything and everything in black and white has been making me swoon lately, so I chose to channel that inspiration into an outfit (with a little leopard print). :}

I hope you all have an amazing rest of the week! I adore you all. <3333

top/bracelets: Thrifted

necklace: gift

skirt: JC Penny circa 2004

shoes: ModCloth (old)

Hey Everyone!

Happy Tuesday!!! I miss you all, and have felt like crap for not keeping my blog up. I am not going to make a “promise” that I post more, especially because I am not sure when that will happen. :{ But, I am going to try. Lotssss has been going on in my life and I am trying to figure it all out. But in the mean time check out this blog post I did with Madison Plus. :)

I love you for reading. <3

Bright and Bold

Mon, 07 May 2012 09:57:00 -0400

Hey Everyone! Happy Monday, personally I am not so happy it is Monday, but I am making the most of it. :) I saw The Avengers twice this weekend and was pretty much in love with it.

Today I am trying to dress brightly and hoping it helps me spread some cheer in the office today. ;) I got these shorts from Lands’ End and they are super comfortable and the perfect length! As if that isn’t good enough, the color makes me really happy. :)

top, scarf, bracelets: thrifted

shorts: c/o Lands’ End

Have a good week everyone!!! :)

Layering Tops

Tue, 01 May 2012 10:01:00 -0400

Good morning everyone!

It has been super quiet on my blog the past few weeks, and there are many reasons for it! Sooo much is going on with work (taking on a job during the weekends to pay off student loans), my personal life, and planning vacations! I have also decided to only post things that I like, rather than lots of things I barely care about. Quality more than quantity. ;) I hope you guys are OK with that. I am still super active on instagram, twitter, and facebook! <3

The weather was so cold when I put this outfit together, but by the end of the day I was so hot! Figures.

magenta top+ necklaces: thrifted

velvet crop top: Miskabelle Vintage

jeans: Forever 21

shoes: ModCloth (old)

Have a good day everyone! <333

Feels Like Fall

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 10:04:01 -0400

Hey Everyone!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, I did! Everything was really great, apart from the Pens losing, oh and the fact that it is FREEZING outside.

So due to the weather I had to get creative with what to wear. I kind of put most of my winter clothes away, so this outfit was thrown together.

sweater, boots: ModCloth (old)

skirt: ModCloth

jewelry: thrifted

nail polish: Essie (orange, it’s obvious)

(photos thanks to Christen)

Tomorrow Kevin and I are venturing to Deep Creek Lake for a getaway! Pretty excited about it. We are also thinking about starting a travel/lifestyle blog together. :)

Have a good rest of the week! <3

Vintage Sequins

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:24:00 -0400

Hey Everyone! I am trying a new layout, this way you can see my photos larger without clicking on them. :D

My Allergies have literally been killing me, I have had a cough and sore throat for almost two weeks now. It is getting old. :(

But this outfit is one of my favorites lately. My mom and I got to hang out this past weekend which was great, sometimes I take for granted how close my family is to me. But she bought me this purse from T.J. Maxx as an easter present, I was super excited because I love it! :) The color makes me happy.

top, skirt and bracelets: thrifted

shoes: old ModCloth

ELEPHANT RING: old ModCloth

bag: gift from Mom

What do you think of this format??

This series is starting and I am super pumped about it! :)

What is blogging about?

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:36:27 -0400

I am officially back from my trip, and I am as sick as a dog. But road trips always make me think too much about stuff. I started to think about my blog and why I do what I do.

I have had this blog for almost three years now, and it has been all over the place. I have posted outfit photos, my photography, travel adventures, random thoughts, and inspiration. This blog is my creative outlet. It is almost a journal that I record my life in, and it is cool to look back and make fun of myself. ;)

I take pride in the fact that I rarely whore my blog out there. Quality is more than quantity, and I have amazing followers (you know who you are). :D

I am not a popular blogger either, for which I am grateful on many levels. There is less pressure, and I can keep my blog original and fun. I love working with brands I believe in, but the only way I work with brands is if they provide me with something I can style up myself. I will not post photos of their new products, unless, again, I believe in the brand and am really excited about it.

But yea, I guess that is really all I had to say. I love you guys, and just wanted to make sure you understand my motives. <3333

Hey Everyone! Happy Friday, I hope you all had a fantastic week!...

Happy Wednesday!

Today is Kevin’s 23rd birthday, and I am super excited to celebrate with him tonight. :D

This outfit was inspired by an awesome girl I work with, she wore huge polka dotted skirt with a small polka dotted shirt, it was epic. I tried my hand in it, its not quite as cool, but I am happy with the turn out. :)

top: ModCloth (old)

belt+ skirt: Thrifted

Are you into mixing polkadots?

Hey everyone!

I went for a “Mature Mandy” look for this outfit post. I do not typically dress up like this much, but I got this dress from London Times and the quality and fit is fantastic, so why not try something new? The material is super stretchy and really comfortable! I think Kevin liked this dress quite a bit because he asked me to wear it on his birthday later this week. ;)

dress: c/o London Times

shoes: Gucci (thrifted for $3)

bracelets: thrifted

earrings: Jewelmint

I hope you all have a fantastic Tuesday! Pardon me while I go drain the coffee machine… ;)

Hey Everyone! Happy Monday! This weekend seemed far too short,...

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:39:00 -0400

Hey Everyone!

Happy Monday! This weekend seemed far too short, but it was still really great. I saw Jesus Christ Super Star with some of my college friends! One of my friends was the part of Judas and he seriously killed it, and he sings for this band, oh and I took their group photo as their profile pic! Anyways, that was a great show, everyone did fantastic.

Saturday I went shopping with Julie and we thrifted our little hearts out! I got some really cool stuff, including a mint condition suitcase set! :D

Luna got fixed this weekend and has been acting like nothing happened except for the first day when we got her back. She was sooo pathetic! But she is doing better now. :)

Sunday was super boring, I drank beer, did my taxes, and hid from a giant spider in my bathroom. He is terrifying. Hopefully, Kevin will come over sometime and let him outside.

This outfit is one of my favorite outfits I have put together in a while, so random and fun.

blazer+ top+ bracelets: thrifted

pants: delias

sandals: ModCloth

nails: DIY

While I was in NYC last month I got to not only blog for Madison Plus, but also I visited their office! It was such an awesome place! Filled with inspiration, amazing clothing, and great people! I did not want to leave. I love the ladies at Madison Plus sooooo much! :D

They also snapped some photos of my outfit! I already shared this outfit on my blog, but its extra special because it is in their office! :D ~~haha, doesn’t my hair look great?~~

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:24:00 -0400

Hey everyone!

I only like this outfit when I twirl… Is that bad? haha I just think the skirt looks the best whilst twirling! This dress is a little big on me and I need to take it in, which is one of my projects this weekend. :)

Anyways, its Tuesday. My iphone got water damaged somehow (i really have no clue how), and the home button isn’t working. :( So that has been interesting. It is borderline hot here! It just kind of came out of no where! I am still not ready for summer to be full throttle. I am a huge in between season kind of girl. I love spring, and ADORE fall. :)
