best color combo ever

If you know me well, then you know my favorite color combination is black, white, teal or crimson pink. So the outfit I wore yesterday was everything I love.
























Stole the cardigan from mi madre (who was going to sell it to a thrift store!). Great Faux watch necklace from my best friend Afton.

gee I think you're swell

It is very hard for me to go home for the weekend and not shop. Richmond has some of the best shopping in Virginia. For Carry town (Need Supply, American Apparel, Bygones) to Short Pump (J.Crew, Urban Outfitters, South Moon Under). I have to fight my self to keep my wallet full.
So when I went home on Monday for a doctors appointment, my willpower and I had an all out brawl. I packed my bags Sunday night with the intentions of going to Plato's closet to may some money, then hit up Urban. But when I got home, and began to consider my finances I decided against the shopping spree. I'm trying to save money for New York City in December, and for Christmas presents. The fight was neither successful or unsuccessful. I didn't go to Plato's or Urban, but I couldn't help stopping by the local thrift store. Mechanicsville (my hometown) does one thing right. We have the best Goodwill in the state. It's clean, cheap and ever changing. Here are some of my scores from my Monday thrifting adventure.


Found this beautiful Moda New York cardigan hanging on the unwanted rack by the fitting room. Look at the beautiful detailing. It looks brand new!
Then I found this awesome boyfriend blazer. I don't know the brand, but its pretty old and in good condition. Lately I've been staying away from the blazer section, because I think the boyfriend blazer trend is getting a little played out, but for a unique one like this I could help it. You can't tell from this picture but its a really light material. Not bulky in shape, is fits the body. Its got a golden sheen with a great swirling pattern.

I've got my new shoes on

Finally got my tan/nude shoes that I've been searching for forever! Since I was in theater in high school I've wanted a pair of shoes like the ones below. They are the type of shoes you can wear what ever you want! They also will instantly lengthen my legs when worn with a skirt or dress. Its so hard to find cute heels in a size 11, but these were found courtesy of Urban Outfitters. I'm thinking about getting them in the blue as well. Then I'll officially have a pair of Blue Suede shoes!

casting call

What girl doesn't dream of being a beautiful model or a girl who commands a rooms attention? Today I got my chance.

I woke up this morning with one goal. To go to a model casting call which I had heard was taking place at school. I didn't know if I'd get my nerves up to do it. So I called two of my model-esque friends, and asked if they'd accompany me. They couldn't. When time came for the auditions to begin I packed my heals in my book bag and took a deep breath as I climbed the stairs towards the audition room. I wasn't as nervous as I thought I might be. Possibly, because I knew two of the judges, but mostly because I knew that I had nothing to lose. I was doing this for myself. It was something I had only dreamt about.

The hardest part of modeling is having the confidence in yourself to do it. I know during the audition I mentioned my nerves, my inexperience... something I probably shouldn't have done , but its my way of admitting my faults before others can point them out.

Overall, I think I walked well and presented my self in a nice manner. I hope I get a spot, but if not I'm glad for the experience.

Today the fashion association met to create tee-shirts for the homecoming parade on Saturday. The theme is "first & goal", so we decided to be "fashion referees". We used spray paint to create the stripes and the graffiti style.

Got this really awesome necklace from modcloth.com.

It is one of my favorite new pieces. Traveling and seeing the world is something that I cherish and dream about.

Found this really awesome image on google. I DID NOT MAKE THIS!

Its a mixed media poster. Painted, with lace/doilies overlaid and the font is fabric. It's in French!! How cute is that? <3
