This last one is from today! I drew and apple in oil pastels yey!
All unedited photos (yikes!) from my life over the past few months.
You see, Im starting a new chapter of my life starting today and one of the promises I made to myself is to go back to Like Lilly Vintage and continue what I started 2 years ago. So yes I am coming back to blog and just wanted to catch you all up on tid bits of my life...through photobooth....how personal haha
Tonight theres a 100% chance of rain...and a 30% chance of it actually happening!
Im currently sitting on the couch watching my family being my family: eating dinner, joking, laughing, and proving that when it comes to talking, they only have one volume level....HIGH.
Were true italians in this household.
But now....things are quite. Things move that fast paced in this house. Its just me and my brother now. The rest of the family is off to pick my puppy up (shown above) from the vet. She was spayed today, the poor thing. I hope shell be alright.
And now Im alone...my brother went off somewhere into another part of the house, and Im still sitting on the couch, hearing the weather channel in the background.
I get it 100% chance of rain!
I wish I could be 100% sure of something, or anything....but thats for another time and another rant!
Any of these dresses I would love to own. I think white is always a gorgeous color.
I have no life this week! I have to prepare for the ACT on Saturday. Which means no blogging for a whole week :( At least hannah shares my pain! hahaha xD
These are some pictures from a last weekend thrift shopping trip downtown I did with a friend. I'm in love with my new high-waisted velvet floral skirt (Can you tell. I totally became a camera whore with it on! By the way...only $6.00!) AND I also love knit cropped sweater I also got, but not as much as a bargain as the skirt, but still $14.00. It was a great day :)
I miss u all!! I am sorry for the rather boring and slow posts lately; I have finals coming up next week, so as usual, school has got me all tied up. Its like a rodeo really: school is the cowboy and I'm the thing being lassoed. I have no choice but to be antisocial this weekend and hit the books. Although, I think that in reality, the only hitting of the books I'll do is my head hitting the book and I pass out (Wow, im really crakin the jokes tonight). Well, I'm off to do homework, but I will find every ounce of time I can to check up on all your blogs and see what you're up to! I'm in the mood to be inspired!
source: knightcat Hey everyone! My weekend is going great...
Friday I went into town with my friend for a nice day (long day!) of shopping. Saturday my sister came home after being away for 4 months in Barcelona. Today I am hanging out with my sister cause I'm so glad shes home and doing my homework :/ Monday I'm hopefully going to my friend Zack's house for a party.
I'll completely fill you in on all my lame, but interesting to me, details as soon as I can. Enjoy your weekends!! Let me know what you're up to :)
OH AND I HEART MOM JEANS!! I gotta find a pair that looks good. Bye!
The lovely Valentine tagged me for a very fun questionnaire. A little something that might let you know a little more about myself. Here goes nothing!..

She can have both lime green zebra and hot pink leopard on and be working it at the same time, shes so fierce and fabulous. I also love my best friends' styles, they all are individual and totally work with their personalities.
Describe your personal style? - Wow. Umm its colorful, hippie, indie, grunge, 40's, 60's, and 80's. Like a collection of all of that. I change my style with how often I change my moods. I change into about 5 or 6 different outfits a day.

Hidden under stacks of Urban Outfitters, Free People, and Gypsy Rose catalogs was this really old 70's crafts book that my mom gave me a bit ago that I had forgotten about. I was ammusd by this bead ring and decided to give it an attempt. I do have to say though its a tad big which keeps me from wearing it all the time, but overall I do like the way it came out. Although, I still think the 70's girl's is much better!
I've gotta run and help my mom make this deep dish pasta thing for Easter tomorrow. We plan on going over to my Italian grandmother's house where my extended family will be (some of which are from Brooklyn). Remind me to bring some ear muffs, it gets crazy in her little house packed with Italians that just love to talk over one another. Wish me luck!
Well I'm off, have a great weekend everyone! p.s: my 50th post! xx
When looking at the Zac Posen spring collection I couldn't help but be more amused by the accessories than the clothes themselves. And maybe that's what Mr. Posen wants us to do his collectioin, however, I felt that in some looks he may have over accessorized. The chunky coin earrings in this collection no doubt would be a conversation starter, but I know few women who would actually wear these through an entire work day or a night out without having their ears weighing them down.
Also, the bangles I would love to see separate. When you stack four or five cunky bangles at once sometimes I think you can loose the beauty in the bangles individually and instead are looking at the massive stack on the models tiny wrist.
But I will say is that I love the details and colors used in the dresses, the white snakeskin and the freshness of the bags, and the colors and shapes of the shoes.
I guess I'm a person who looks at the functionality a little bit more than the design. I have always loved Zac Posen and his eye for fashion, but I think its important to have an opinion about what designers put on the runway because it allows for a different perspective rather than loving everything the designer does just because it has their name on it. I am no person to have such a high opinion on such talented and excelled designers, but these are just my thoughts on looking at the details of this collection. After all, its all in the details.
P.S. I apologize for the slow posting. But thankfully, I have spring break approaching and I'm prepared to do some massive DIYing and have a couple posting ideas lined up. Also, sorry for the poor quality of some of my outfit pictures, I need to upgrade to a new camera, but for right now I'm fine. I should be grateful to have the things that I do and sometimes I take them for granted I think.
an East Coast artsy, shy, pigeon-toed, indie girl who loves anything and everything vintage. Who thinks Tai restaurants are couture and would always choose snow over sand and has one too many bird houses in her backyard. Who can never remember someones name but can always remember what they were wearing and who thinks style is allowing a complete stranger to understand the type of person you are without having to say a word.
"Growing up, I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I knew the woman I wanted to become:I wanted to be the woman in the driver’s seat. That didn’t mean that I couldn’t be a passenger some days, or have a driver another, but I knew that I wanted to be the woman who could drive the car. I knew the feeling but not how I was going to get there." -Diane von Furstenberg
WORDS THAT SHAPE MY STYLE
"I love an element of surprise here and there,a touch of the unexpected.Details on a dress can inspire bed linens, while jewelry or embellishments can adorn a bag or shoe." -Vera Wang
