last night i had a dream about my blog. lol wut. guess its time for an update.


joyce leslie top | thrifted/altered skirt | thrifted shoes




thrifted cardi & necklace | nevada wolf pack top
cut-off shorts | black wanderlust boots

it's all about fast cars and cussing each other

wetseal shirt - $7
wetseal skirt - $12
thrifted red tights
mom's black tights
thrifted wanderlust boots

i've been really boring with my choice of footwear lately. its been cold & icy here in new york.. not the type of weather for wearing heels.




I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

and i'm waiting for the sun to come and melt this snow

sry2say pretty much my entire outfit is from wetseal. my badddd. the boots are thrifted though..

its freezing here in new york and i'm ready for spring. that is all.
as much as i like layering i'm over this weather. its 20 degrees outside right now. TWENTY DEGREES. ugh ugh do not want.

and its been a long december & theres reason to believe..

maybe this year will be better than the last




new tattoo placement.



i am so not a fan of flared jeans. its time to do laundry. i'm a serious procrastinator.

thrifted sweater
express thrifted tee underneath
thrifted hydraulic jeans
wanderlust thrifted boots

dayyummmm i'm good! the whole outfit cost under $20 :)



i'm still anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new camera. sorry about the photo quality..

on a balcony overlooking nothing with snow falling all around

its been snowing all day here in the northeast. it was the perfect day to spend thrifting and taking pictures.



white tunic - joyce leslie, $8
cardigan - banana republic, thrifted for $4
skirt - vintage, thrifted for $4
boots - wanderlust, thrifted for $7
owl necklace - ebay, around $12 or so

you may recognize the skirt from a few days ago. i cut about 6 inches off the bottom. now i have an awesome skirt and a matching scarf.. which will never be worn at the same time.

i really wanted to wear a fedora today but i forgot it at home. maybe tomorrow.

a few recent ones..

black thrifted vtg dress | pink express dress | grey tights from target | thrifted wanderlust boots


thrifted jacket | h&m scarf


thrifted bcbg max azria dress | thrifted old navy cardigan | seed leggings | thrifted leather boots

funny thing about those boots... these boots were one of my earliest thrift finds.. i found them a couple years ago at the local salvation army for $7. when i moved back to new york from nevada i lost them. a couple days ago (6 months later) i found them in a box, still packed up from the move! we were reunited and i fell in love with them all over again..



thrifted delias sweater | purple tank | kirra skirt | thrifted suede vtg over-the-knee boots

a mostly recycled week.

i've been a bad blogger this week. heres a few cell phone pictures to make up for that. i promise i'll be better next week.

gap dress | h&m scarf | f21 tights | wild diva shoes


i think new york skipped autumn this year. it's been really cold. and today it SNOWED.
ugh. gtfo snow.

i stay fresh like i'm wrapped in plastic.

h&m dress (gift) | thrifted h&m jacket | thrifted tights | wanderlust boots

if you were a car nerd like me you'd find great humor in this picture.
but since i'm assuming no one reading this is,
i'd like to introduce you to the legendary car lounge fj porta thread of 2009.



that is all.

a couple of work outfits & one for going out.

what i wore...

Meisters sweater is from jefferspet.com

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.


thrifted o'neill sweater | thrifted skirt | grey tights from target | thrifted flats
the sweater is too big. whatevs.

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

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..)

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

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 :)
