black lace lust.


okay, so not only did i purchase the disco pants from american apparel but i bought way more stuff than i care to admit. this is why i steer clear of this place, my wallet is always empty when i exit. they really have the best staples for my closet though. american apparel, indie designers and vintage is really all i need clothing wise. this lace dress appeared right in front of my eyes, beckoning me near, and i fell for it....quickly. they had just barely gotten this in, which is always exciting knowing that not everyone is going to have it....yet. i added some shoulder pads to give it a little added oomph and paired it with some electric blue (they look purple in the pics) opaque tights and the sam edelman's which you are going to be seeing a lot of, until spring really kicks in. i really want to purchase many new shoes, and will very soon when i start making my millions! hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!

i was featured in two kick ass blogs yesterday. cocainepretti and denimology, have a look. also check out *inspire if you haven't already. i think i'm going to have a giveaway soon so follow me on twitter and google or bloglovin' and i will keep you posted.

  4. I'm a sucker for electric colors. I think I have a pair of tights in just about every color, including those that don't really exist in nature :-)

    I purchased a lace bodysuit from AA and its so itchy! But I love it like none other. Is your dress the same way?

    I live in the DC area, its one of the most stale places fashion-wise and the weather is questionable 3/4 of the time haha but I'm here until I graduate so I may as well make the best of it, right?

  9. We should really plan a thrifting excursion, I am always looking for new thrifting partners. Onto the outfit-I am obsessing over this hat, I just adore the racoon tail. On a side note, are racoon tails good luck or is it just rabbit feet... hmmmm.

  15. All of your hats are beautiful. This one is so much fun. I completely understand your love for AA, I try to avoid it like the plague else I'll have even less money than I have now. haha!

    Kudos for adding addong the electric blue tights. Sometimes a black outfit just needs a pop of color.

  17. birthday girl--agreed! xxx

    tess stam--thank you! they are my fave boots obviously. haha!

    melmo--i love that you notice the details. thanks for the compliment on the hand chain! xxx

    c'est moi--you know what, i have the most sensitive skin ever. i can't wear wool, acrylic etc. but this dress is not itchy at all surprisingly enough. maybe they changed the fabric up a little. hmm... and about small towns. they can be very inspiring. i am from slc utah and whenever i am there i get way more inspired than in la. use it to your advantage! you will be out of there soon! xxx

    belle in arms--yes i never turn the ringer on and my friends get so mad at me for never calling them. i love your blog too! xxx

    lexi colby--i am so stealing your idea. it looks so cute!

    my strawberry cocktail. love. xxx

    the style crusader--thank you! xxx

    meggstatus--yes. thrifting adventure soon. and as for the raccoon tail. haha! i'm going to say that they are good luck. anytime i get a vintage fur of any kind i take time to thank the animal for giving it's life. it's a native american tradition. and i really think that it was their plan. i know a lot of peta activist would beg to differ. anyway yes they are good luck! haha! you are too cute!

    marla--21 is a great age. enjoy it! xxx

    aurora--i'm hanging in here. thank you for asking. if you ever need someone to talk to my e-mail is above. i have been wearing my raccoon tail every which way. i think it looks quite good on the hat. thanks gorgeous!

    wendy--hahaha! you crack me up!

    nickie--hahahahaha! yeah i could be the 'mature' model.
