Ascot Friday

I love leopard. [my new pants]

If you follow me on instagram you saw that I discovered the most amazing pair of leopard skinnies at Target. Yep, target. I know, they look quite similar to a certain pair of high end denim that I have been wanting for quite some time. So thank you Target. Thank you.

2 more things:

1. apparently they are only available in California (according to some out of state friends)

2. They also come in a grey/black color. (you better believe I bought those too!)

It's wedding season!

My good friend Meagan got married over the weekend! How fun! It was a beach wedding so I kept it simple. I found this lace top at the flea market last month, and picked up these peach shorts at H&M, and added an estate sale belt to finish the look!

Love you friend!!

wood grain @ thirty-two.

I attended a wedding on Saturday. I wore this H. Fredriksson wood grain dress, cynthia vincent sandals (from target), vintage clutch, and assorted bracelets.

It's hard to believe that I am at 32 weeks, I am so ready, and so not ready at the same time...

black is my friend.. [my best friend]

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say I am going to be wearing black for the rest of this pregnancy. It just makes me feel better. Don't worry, I'm not going goth on you, I will jazz my black up, like I did here. I found this vest at an estate sale. I'm not sure of it's cost, becuase I filled a bag with clothes and fabric and was charged $15, so it was probably around .50 cents.. not bad, huh?

Vest: vintage, Dress: forver21, belt: vintage, shoes: vintage

bohemian style... [my way]

I love bohemian style, basically because you  make it up as you go... I enjoy putting random pieces of my wardrobe together in different ways, it makes your clothes go much further. I bought this fabric about a year ago with the intention of making something with it, since that has yet to happen I am wearing it as is (bingo! instant shawl, and I love the frayed edges)

skirt: forever21, tank: forever21, shawl: random fabric; hat: from a hat store in Palm Springs; sandals: Antik Batik

 

wide leg and striped.

I'm pretty sure most people would tell you not to wear  high waisted jeans while pregnant, but after my post last week about the wide leg denim trend for spring, I was determined to make mine work. (thank goodness for the bellaband...). I paired it with a thrifted silk blouse, and a pair of clogs.

 

pregnancy style... [my way]

Remember this post? When I found the same pants in a red version over the summer, I knew I had to have them, who knew they would end up being a great pair of pants for my expanding belly....

As far as pregnancy fashion goes, I am not a big fan of maternity clothing. I think the majority of it is not fashionable and overpriced. But thats just me.... I instead find ways to adapt my own clothing so I can stay true to my own style. (this means, lots of elastic waists and plain tank tops jazzed up with accessories..)

 

 

pants: thrifted, jacket: vintage, tank: c&c, shoes: converse

 

rain, rain... [go away]

It was rainy, rainy, weekend in SoCal. Despite the gloomy weather I was able to pull myself out of rainy day wardrobe (leggings, boots, oversized sweatshirt) to pull together this outfit for a Christmas party.

Skirt: F21, Shoes: F21, Vest: F21, Blouse: Thrifted

Hudson wanted in on the mix as well....

working on it [becoming a planner]

Believe it or not I usually have a rough time getting ready in the morning. I partially blame this on lack of time (I tend to hit the snooze button a few too many times and wait until the last possible second to get out of bed), which results in me usually pulling together whatever items of clothing are strewn across my bedroom.  The other part of the blame goes to lack of planning. I admit it: I am not a planner. I like to live in the now. But in an effort to gain some control of my hectic life I am working on it (the planning part). 

I attended a book preview party for STYLIT, (a daily fashion planner) by the fabulous Beth Jones, this past week (pictures and a post to come), and it really got me thinking. I would save so much time if I planned out my outfits at the start of the week. So I started. So far so good, except I forgot to take the weather in to account and wore these sandals in the rain and almost ate it a couple of times (of course I felt better when I witnessed Mario Lopez do the same). 

To find out more about the book (which I highly recommend) go check out BJones style. 

no parking [fancy pants]

I got these pants over the summer when I was in Palm Springs, I was immediately drawn to the bright pattern. I paired it with my clogs for an unexpected look.
