i'm not a battery, i don't need recharging.

it was pretty cold today.
i really, reallyy hate the grey tights with this.
note to self: buy black sheer tights.

the sweater is too big. whatevs.

after seeing that picture i realized this would have looked a lot better with black shoes.

these nights are notable and priceless

my work outfit for today..


thrifted bcbg max azria dress | thrifted old navy cardigan | unknown shoes

i went thrifting today & found 2 sweaters, pants, a skirt, and shoes for $17! i'm stocking up on office-appropriate clothes.




vtg Miss Capezio shoes | $5

i seem to have a thing for purple lately..

simple, office look.

first off, i need to apologize for the cell phone pictures.


$5 thrifted express shirt | wetseal pants | thrifted black heels



first day of work. i was way overdressed. whatever, i tend to do that.

til tonight i never knew the difference between comfort & love..

basic purple cardigan | white v neck | bullhead jeans | wanderlust boots | dockers fedora


a nice, simple outfit for a chilly autumn day.



p.s. i got a new job, so expect a lot of office looks with long sleeves in the future.
(gotta cover up the tattoos..)

trying to keep, trying to keep me away from you

volcom dress | thrifed tights | thrifted belt | freeee boots

i decided to go with some girly accessories so i didn't look too much like a hot topic queen today.

i seriously need another small black dress in my life. this is easily the most worn item i own. its my go-to dress. its starting to show :(

SO, i was seriously considering buying a pair of dr martens, but now i'm glad i didn't. i FOUND these combat boots in storage at my fathers house. i have no idea where they came from. they're a size too big, but i'll deal. they're pretty beat up though, so i might use kiwi leather paint on them.. or maybe not. we'll see. either way, free boots are okay in my book.

hello brooklyn, how you doin?

a bit of a recycled outfit.
i had a job interview today so i had to keep it professional & tame.
i actually wore black flats and a grey h&m cardigan for the interview though.


basic black tee | thrifted belt | thrifted skirt | "Wild Diva" shoes


i had 3 different people compliment my shoes today. i loveee them.
i'd also like to mention walmart has a line called "seed" and they have a buncchh of different colored leggings. and they're only $5! its the perfect time to stock up & add some color to your winter wardrobe.
i've been looking for ankle length leggings for a while so i was excited to see walmart has 'em for cheeeap.

fly like paper, get high like planes

i love autumn.


volcom dress | h&m denim jacket | green tights from target
moms black tights | wanderlust boots | leaf necklace

with dirty blood & thirty last calls

i'm one of those people that needs to wear something the day after its bought.


vintage jacket | express shirt | bullhead jeans | thrifted shoes | h&m purse

what i wore to get my car back, drive all day, get a chai tea, walk around, and take pictures.

you taste like a bad decision baby..

something didn't feel right about todays outfit. maybe it was the fact i was wearing a zip-up & probably should have worn a cardigan instead. maybe its because i was thisclose to wearing black boots with this. anyway, here is what i wore today.


h&m dress | h&m hoody | thrifted leaf necklace | vtg tights | vtg zodiac shoes

i did some thrifting today & i'm pleased with my finds. i can scratch a couple things off my fall/winter 09 wishlist.



apparently denim (along with every other 90's trend) is coming back. this was originally from h&m. when i got home i realized it was missing a button. no big deal, they can be replaced.. but then while i was putting it on a hanger i realized theres a spare on the tag inside. even better. AND it was only $6.



cute little vintage floral jacket | $2






vintage. leather. ankle-roller heel. crazy pattern. they fit perfectly. i'm in love. $5.

and finally! the last pair wasn't thrifted but i bought em today and i'm HAPPY BEYOND WORDS..


ohmygod. i love these. YSL knockoffs? yes, please.

pull the pins, save your grace

this outfit is painfully similar to my last two. i have found my default autumn outfit.




scarf from wetseal | little boys tank | thrifted blazer | bullhead jeans | boots from nyc-???

later it got cold & i put on brown uggs.. because i suck. and they're warm.

she believe in shoes and cars

its seems that after his outburst at the VMAs last night, theres no love left for Kanye. whatever, i still like him.

during a time when rap attire consisted of 3XL shirts, sagging jeans, & AF1s.. this guy came through with blazers, button-ups, cardigans, quirky glasses, well-fitting pants, & dope kicks.

i don't care if he's rude.. the dude's got style.

where soul meets body..

another gloomy autumn day. normally i won't mix grays with browns, but today i figured i'd go for it.. and i'm quite pleased with how it looks.








basic purple tank | thrifted h&m blazer | bullhead jeans | dollhouse oxfords


i've really been thinking too much about dr. martens. my birthday is in a few weeks & i'm almost certain i'm going to buy myself a pair of docs.. i'm thinking something white & black. but i've also been eyeing the colorful floral ones though.






I LOVE THESE. SO MUCH. want them. on my feet. now.


i can picture these dressed up with tights, a little black dress, chunky scarf, and lots of layers. y/y?





UGH! DO WANT!

can't wait for the clouds to break

todays weather would have been amazing, were it not for the rain & wind. the temperature was cool, but not cold. i'm in love with autumn because its the perfect time for tights, boots, & layers.. which just happens to explain my ideal outfit.

today was one of those days. it gave me the chance to wear my new pair of black boots & a scarf that hasn't gotten enough of the lovin' it deserves.



my boyfriend, a friend & i wandered into kohl's and i ended up leaving with a fedora! i've been eyeing them for a few months but never found one i really liked. although, i hardly EVER go to stores that aren't thrift stores & you can't be too picky when searching thrift stores, haha. i'm happy with it. originally $20, marked down 50%, and then got my boyfriends 15% employee discount on top of that.. it ended up being $8.85. i can live with that.


its by Dockers, if anyone is curious.




thrifted h&m shirt | thrifted little boys blazer | thrifted scarf | cut-off shorts | tights from target | thrifted boots


haha, i'm so cheap. i loveeee it.

i've been slacking..

its been a while. i can't keep up with this.. i'll start by showing off a few of my recent finds. i've been dying to find a pair of perfect black boots.. last week i even had a dream about boot shopping! i finally found THE PERFECT pair.




they were $6 (!) & the brand is "Wanderlust". i've never heard of it, but after doing some research i'm under the impression its a Canadian brand. they are in amazzinnggg condition. the soles are absolutely mint.

i also found these..





the photos don't do them any justice. they're actually really deep black. they are vintage Zodiac USA leather shoes.. scored them for $10! they fit perfectly. soo excited.

today i just HAD to wear them. this was my yard sale-ing outfit..





suppp terrible posture. i realize these are not the best or most flattering pictures, but they get the job done!

in case you're wondering about the necklace, i found it at a thrift store in ellenville. its great for the fall & is very urban outfitters-esque. it was only $5. excuse the cat hair on me.. and that light spot is just a glare on the camera!



unfortunately i don't have any yard sale finds to post, as i didn't find anything.. but i found a dollar on the ground! so i think i made out good today anyways.

i'm glad the weather is starting to cool off. my outfits have been boring lately, so i'm looking forward to different colors & lots of layering for the fall. i fore see lots of shorts, tights, & boots in the near future.

i'll leave you with an outfit from a couple weeks ago that i never got around to posting. the sandals were also thrifted for $5 :)
