The pants I've been waiting for

We're seeing pants everywhere aren't we? Not jeans, not stretchy stuff, not exactly harems either. Pants! And guess who finally got herself a pair? Yours truly. I found these babies at a new vintage store in my town. Its so precious! The presentation is amazingly flawless unlike so many vintage stores. Turns out this place might be hiring and I totally need a job so you bet I applied. This job would be perfect for me! So I'm crossing my fingers, sending out good vibes into the universe and contemplating killing a rabbit for its foot.... I MUST get this job.


That unusual smile surfaced from the hopes of possibly working at this place and of course from the joy of wearing these awesome pants. Those are my new shoes, Vince Camuto :]

A pop of color

I put this on practically in my sleep. I had to wake up too early to go see the doctor and run some errands. So I grabbed these pants that were conveniently never put away then one of the only tops I have clean (Its a floral lace somewhat see-through fabric). I remembered it was Spring and grabbed this awesome thrifted blazer. Nothing fancy and I like it.

I received this award from the very sweet and fabulous Madeline of Kiss My Sass (ha.. I love that)

I have to tag 12 bloggers! And I shall, on my next post. Right now I have to runnnnn.
Thank you for reading :]

Day 7. Photo that makes you happy


My best friends. They are perfect for me. As awkward as that may sound. I think you guys get it though.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes :D

It's only exciting because I got new shoes.

My birthday is Monday so my awesome mother took me out today to a very delicious and authentic venezuelan breakfast in a hole in a wall restaurant. It was AHHmazing. I haven't had Venezuelan food that good outside of my grandmother's kitchen. After stuffing our faces until moving was difficult we soldiered our way through the mall. Where I found these.

My mother bought them for me as a birthday present. They are Vince Camuto and super duper comfortable. So yay, that made my birthday great.
I think its time to introduce you guys to my partner in overspending, silly moments, and great times. Mi Madre.

No she didn't have me when she was 16. She was just blessed with awesome genes. Hoping I got some of those too. Ain't she a doll? A stylish doll!

Day 6- Whatever tickles your fancy
75 degrees and breezy weather. (That was today's weather :]) And rainy days when I have a good book or a good sound track.

Dark Florals

This is the cardigan I just got from UO. Its super light weight and it looks good tied and untied. Sorry for the low quality pictures. Its a shame you cannot see the texture on the top I'm wearing under the cardigan. Its also a floral print but black and cream. The black part is mesh and the cream is almost a velvet texture.
This is me mixing prints, do you like?

Day 5- Favorite quote
"What if a piece of wood discovers it's a violin" - Rimbaud

Take a seat

I missed the sunlight today so I was unable to take a picture of my outfit :[
Butttt I do want to share with you these amazing Philippe Starck “Mademoiselle” chairs by Kartell. Anyone could look fashionable and stylish in these by merely sitting on them.




Here are two, two finger rings I found on Etsy. They are awesomee!
I must get my hands on something like this soon

Favorite Book-
Don't laugh but my favorite book is Oh The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss
The message in it is incredible and its oh so inspirational. The day I read it I was feeling very down and worried about the future and then I read this book and well, I trusted Dr.Seuss haha.
Want an adult book? 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia-Marques is my second favorite book. Its politically charged with issues in South America back in the 60's and early 1900's yet they are so relevant now. Not to mention the genre is described as magical realism. Marques speaks of abnormal surreal things in the story as if they were real. Its an amazing story. Very long but very worth it.

Style the denim shirt

I meant to post an outfit from this weekend but the shoes I wore are missing...
So I decided I would obsess over my new denim shirt by styling it five times.

The Free Spirit

The Lennon that Loves Leopard


Nocturnal

The Style Conscience Hippie

Comfortably Stylish

This is where my love of denim shirts started. When I saw this post on The Sartorialist last summer.

Day three- favorite TV show
Community

If you don't watch it, you should! Funniest show I've ever seen. The writing is GENIUS.

No such thing

(f21 shirt and belt, handed down skirt, vintage bracelets and short chain necklace, Jeffrey Campbell wedges)
I fail by 2 hours and 35 minutes, to make my day TWO post of my 30 Days of Blogging. So I'm going to cheat and post something else later. Possibly the outfit I wore on Saturday to one of the best parties I've ever been to.

I've been ranting about wanting to find a demin shirt but not wanting to pay $60 dollars for one... welllll, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I stumbled upon an awesome demin shirt at PacSun on sale for only $20 AND my brother paid for it! So I win biggg time. The shirts were made to fit a little more taylored than I wanted a laid back demin shirt to fit so I went a size up. I shall post pictures as soon as I get the stuff I bought from Urban Outfitters. Once this arrives, I will be beyond ready for spring :]

Day Two of 30 Days of Blogging
Favorite movie-
Truth be told, there is no such thing as a favorite movie for me. I've seen a lot of movies and have loved oh so many of them but none hold the number one spot in my heart.
So... what's YOUR favorite movie? Maybe you can help me find mine.

Hummingbird

I love the following picture because I'm lazy and I appreciate the laziness in these :]

Day one- Favorite Song

There hasn't been a time when this song didn't manage to make my heart smile.

No Excuses

(thrifted blazer; JCP tank top; f21 belt; Jeffrey Campbell shoes)
I want to introduce to you my new shoes. They are the most expensive shoes I've ever bought.They are Jeffrey Campbell and are a dream come true. They couldn't be more perfect if they tried. I think that after cleaning so much baby butt, I deserved something nice for my feet. I wore this yesterday to go shopping with a friend and to grab some lunch. Turns out, these magnificent shoes came with a lot of criticism from others and unwated and unnecessary questions...

My shoes were too tall. They were also too much. They aren't casual. They wash out my skin tone. They are too loud. Who was I trying to impress by wearing these shoes? Why couldn't I wear a different pair of shoes?
There was also criticism of my outfit overall:
You are wearing brown and black! You can't think that belt is going to bring the entire outfit together.
Most of these remarks came from a guy who once dyed his hair blue, another time he dyed it pink and he wears the same green Adidas almost everyday, whether they match his outfit or not. I was beyond annoyed but most of all I was in shock. I am used to people having something to say about things I wear but never this much, and never with an item which I thought wasn't all that out there. At the time of this unfair trial I was too shocked to address all these remarks. All I could say was, I like it and that is the only requirement I need to wear something.
I now want to address all of these remarks.

Your shoes are too tall:My shoes are tall indeed. But TOO tall? Who set the standards for appropriate shoe height? If you are concerned for my comfort... well, I thank you. I too love comfort and that is why these shoes couldn't be any more comfortable if they were 5 inches shorter.
They are too much: I don't know what this means. Again, where are you getting these standards?
Not casual: A wooden wedge, a neutral tan color, almost clogs... which one of these things do not qualify as casual to you?
They wash out my skin tone: Great observation. I happen to think this washing out effect you speak of, makes my legs look longer.
They are too loud because they are so tall: I have shorter shoes that are just as loud. The day people start apologizing to me for their loud annoying behavior will be the day I stop wearing loud shoes.
Who are you trying to impress? Obviously not you or I would be wearing something else. And obviously, I'm not trying to impress anyone else in this town because they all seem to think like you do. So I guess the answer is, no one except my inner fashionista that always needs to be satisfied.
You can't think that belt is going to bring the entire outfit together: Actually I do think so. Can you prove otherwise?
You are wearing brown and black!: I am. I am wearing two neutrals. Yeah... neutrals.
AND FINALLY Why couldn't you wear a different pair of shoes? Because I wear what I please. I being the keyword.

Now that I am done with that I feel I have wasted my time. I don't have to excuse myself for what I am wearing. I don't ask anyone else to explain to me their interests or taste in things. Fashion is an artsy science as far as I'm concerned. There are rules and tricks mostly regarding the fit of clothes and how they are made -Science. But fashion leaves so much room for interpretation, and personal style. -art. In art and science there is pleasure. That is what I find in Fashion... something I enjoy. I choose to follow it and study it for hours just like bird watchers sit in their chairs and take pictures of birds for hours. I dare you to go tell one of those people that what they are doing is stupid.

ALSO
Definition of
Fashion - The prevailing style or custom, as in dress or behavior.
Anyone who is fashion forward is... well, fashion FORWARD. Meaning what we are wearing is part of culture, its a trend, it's HISTORY. Excusing yourself for being educated in such area is ridiculous.
Rumi from FashionToast said this
"people in the streets aren't dressing to please me, why should I take them into account when dressing myself?" Could not have said it better myself.

Poorly Fashioned conquers HTML

I did it! I dove into the world of html AND photoshop all in one night and came up with this.... what do you think?
I'm exhausted from looking at HTML color charts for too long. I leave you with something pretty.
