Vintage Halloween Costumes

Halloween is around the corner, yay,

which means costume shopping, or making.. depends on how creative you want to get.

I am honestly so sick of these "slutty", "sexy", "whore" costumes! Aren't you???

Halloween isn't about who can be the most sluttiest.. I call those people 'attention whores'.

Yes, we see your tits, and your "C you next Tuesday" (as Charlotte from Sex and the City would call it). Now, leave the party with some scummy guy so the rest of us can have some fun. Unless, the party is for sex, or Playboy Bunny party, then that's alright.

I like the real Halloween costumes, where you don't worry about how you look, you just want to have a great time, and party!

I wish we still had costumes like these people below.

They are so fun, scary, unique, strange.. I love it!

That's Halloween!

 

Aren't they great!

I am loving all these great colors lately. This is definitely the year for bright, in-your-face, vibrant, loud colors! I just recently purchased a coral skirt, and wore it with a white linen shirt (rolled sleeves), turquoise belt, leather wedges, as for the accessories I wore turquoise studs, turquoise gold leather bracelet, and a coral bag! Can you tell I love turquoise and coral? I am really looking for a pair of rolled up white pants, you can add any bright color to white, or you can even do white on white, and make your accessories pop! I think it's time to do a little shopping, bye bye basic colors, and hello brights!


Do you like bright colors?
What colors do you like?
Do you ever mix loud colors together?

Hello Date Night

Sometimes I wish I lived in the city, so I could get all dressed up for Date Night..

One day,

I will go out on Date Night,

and wear something as gorgeous at this; like an elegant dress, with beautiful red lips, don't forget that adorable clutch, and some nude heels!

Bring on the dates!

Then again, Valentines Day is coming up,

 maybe I could wear something like this, then?

Lazy kinda day

It's quite a foggy morning,

 the air is warm, but the light breeze makes for a good chill.. 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Kinda makes me wish I back in bed, all cuddled up, with a good book.

Cuffs & Bling

My mum has been looking for a cuff for awhile now,

 and needless to say,

 I think I might have found some she just might like, (she might just get one of these beauties for her birthday coming up in a couple of months).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

My favorite is the Cheetah Print Cuff, you could wear it with anything,

 a little black dress,

 jeans and a white-t,

 a long sleeve button down with khakis, 

 even some lingerie..

Laid-back Friday

This look isn't glamorous,

 it's more laid back,

which is my kinda style for the weekend.

I like the combination of the leather, with a pop of color from the Turquoise earrings, but yet, your keeping it low with the white button down, and khaki's.  So simple.

 I am going to try my best to copy this outfit for a much 'lower' price. Heck I already have the boots, the bag (yes mum, I'm talking about your beautiful leather bag), and the scarf, all I need is those pretty little earrings, a white button down, and some khaki jeans and I'll be set to go!

What do you like to wear on the weekends?

It's one of those days..

Here in good ol' South Carolina,

the weather is nice; I mean like upper 60's nice.  

(Are you jealous, you should be).

And you know what I'm in the mood to go do?

Fish.

I wanna put on my blues, along with my chunky wool socks, slip on some Duck Boots, grab my Plaid, and let's not forget the rod, and head out to the river to enjoy this beautiful day.

*But no,

 instead I'm being forced to go the Dentist, which I dread. (Are you still jealous, you should not be).

I hope everyone is having a lovely and (Dentist Free) Tuesday!

Want right now

As I was reading a few of my favorite blogs today, something caught my eye that I have never seen before.

It was these beautiful feather earrings, I saw them on Captivated by Grace. She was wearing a pair in her outfit post, and they immediately caught my eye! I love anything handmade, but these, I want, they are so different looking, and they could go with just about anything! I really like the ones she's wearing, the colors seem more vivid, but the faded out ones, would work just as well. Throw on a white shirt, these earrings, a scarf, pair of blues, and some cowboy boots, and you've got a completely adorable outfit!

I wish I had the talent to make something like this!

Do you like handmade stuff?

 If so, where's some of your favorite places to buy them?

Yes please

I want that chuncky low cut sweater, please, along with those Levi's, and let's not forget those wedges! La, la, la, a girl can sure dream...

News years resolution:

.....dream a little more

Red kisses

I think it's time to experiment with red...

I have always loved women who can pull off red lips, I'm not sure if I'm one of those women, but for today, I'm going to try it out.

Hugs and Kisses everyone, I hope you have a fun weekend! 

Revenge

For the past few months I have been so excited to watch this new show!

 It looks so great, who doesn't want to watch the Hampton lifestyle; the houses, people, outfits, scenery, parties, and the Revenge. The first show (which aired last night at 10 pm.), had me at the begining! The main character, Emily VanCamp, who plays Emily Thorne, ( aka. Amanda), is beautiful, and I am in love with all of her outfits that she had on in the first episode... but her being beautiful doesn't mean she is all sweet! Same for Madeline Snow, who plays Victoria, the woman is looking great for her age (yes, i'm sure she's had some face work done, but who hasn't in Hollywood). She is gorgeous, but her character is so evil, and decieving! It was sad to see Amber Valletta leave the show, that's one of the reasons why I wanted to watch it. I can't wait for the next show, which aires on Wednesday at 10pm.! "This show had me in the beginning and I can't wait to watch it unfold!"

This is what people are saying about the show:

"Finally! I waited all summer for this show to start!! So far.. like it.. just can't wait to see what happens next! :) "

"Scared to like this even though it is good. ABC is known for canceling the good ones."

"2 WORDS - I'M HOOKED!!! THIS SHOWS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME! BRAVO EMILY VANCAMP! BRAVO!!!"

"A new favorite and definately going to keep watching!"

"Great Show!! loved it!! Didn't want it to end!"

How can you resist vintage ...

One of the things I love about my mum is she loves to go to yard sales, flea markets, thrift stores, etc.. and buy vintage jewelry. She will buy bags of jewels, and get them for a few dollars, and you never know whats going to be inside those bags! Today she was going through her dresser, (getting rid of some stuff), and I noticed a Ziploc bag filled with jewels, I grabbed the bag, "those smell really bad.. they came from a smoker's house I'm assuming", 'she said. I had to laugh, she had dryer sheets in the bag to make them smell better! Too cute! Well I opened the bag, thankfully they didn't smell like smoke (smoke gives me the worst headache). I noticed a few pretty things, vintage earrings, pearls, a vintage anchor, and some other pretty little things! It was like Christmas! I did find a pair of clip-on earrings I like, but the little blue balls are falling out, so I'm going to redo them, I will post that sometime this week! I hope you like these pretty little vintage jewels, I know I do!

Christian Siriano for Payless

While watching Dancing with the Stars tonight a commercial for Payless came on. It was advertising Christian Siriano's fall collection. I was impressed, the shoes they were advertising were really cute, perfect for Fall, and I can't complain about the price (as long as they last longer then one season). I ended up visiting the site, and coming across a few other Designer shoes that I liked. I haven't purchased shoes from there in quite some time, but I just might have to stop by Payless sometime this week just to see how good these shoes really are!

What do you think about Payless shoes?

Yay or nay? 

Hello lover...

Three gorgeous pairs of earrings,

Forever21 for two dollars and eighty cents.

Say hello to BOLD colors, and prints ...

I loveee color a lot! This spring/summer, I am going to try to wear as much of it as possible! I just recently purchased a green high-waisted skirt, ( I can't wait to wear it with my wedges), gold and coral chandelier earrings, & a white chiffon tank..

I usually wear white shorts, with a little bit of color, but last year I wore a lot of navy blue, black, and white. So this year I need to spiff it up a little! I have always adored the tropical look, so why not try it out!

I believe bold colors, make you bright and cheery!

I wish I had a wardrobe like this below, all pictures from Self Magazine.

Do you own and coloful pieces?
