Watch me not care.

Oh hump day why couldn’t you have come sooner...I still can’t believe it’s ONLY Wednesday. I am leaving on a jet plane for Seattle on Saturday and then proceeding onto a cruise ship and set sail...or I guess I should say propellers for Alaska!! I am in a bit of a tough spot though. I looked up the weather and it’s supposed to be raining the entire week! Booo, I guess it could be worse but I was really looking forward to some nice cooler weather. Not wet…which means NO shorts or tanks…laaaame.

Does any one have any suggestions for some outfits!? It should be in the high 50’s and wet…ugh. But I am excited to take a well needed vacation!!

I am wearing:
Sunnies-Ray ban
Blouse- Express button up
Belt-Vintage Furrrrster
Shorts-DIY Mom jean shorts
Shoes- NEW :) Jessica Simpson


So I am so ecstatic about receiving my gorgeous Jessica Simpson Dany platty’s yesterday! As I was saying on my lookbook and chictopia posts these babies caused quite the ruckus last night @ my Mother’s house. Lets just say she didn’t likey, she thinks shorts and high heels looks stripper/hooker-ish; which I completely DON’T agree with. So as I am trying to explain to her the style and the fact that I am 23 and don’t give a fuck what ANY one thinks…duh hello I have a shit ton of tattoo’s…she got pretty upset, so I left. We have since talked it out and she realizes that when she was MY age she wore the same shit if not worse. So all is well again, but she still doesn’t like my sky high UH mazing platty’s...fuck if I should care. I LOVE LOVE LOVE them and so does my BF!! He thinks they are Moy caliente!!!

Please excuse the bruises..them and me go hand and hand like banana's and Nutella

I am wearing:
Snood-Vintage Inspired
Blouse- Vintage
Circle Skirt-Vintage Saks
Shoezies-Vintage Stuart Weitzmans


So today is just an outfit post. I've been wanting to share this amazing skirt and pair of shoes with you guys. I came up on these beaut's through an EX, his G-ma had passed and his Mom let me go through all of Gammies clothes. I happend to come up on both the Saks Skirt and Stuart Weitsman heels. A fucking score if I have ever heard of one, right!? I love Free 99...

Also I don't know if alot of you are familiar with Snoods (the fishnet looking hat I am wearing) Snoods, along with turbans and head scarves were introduced during WWII(1940's) for a fashion alternative for the "working" lady. Since most men were off @ war, the woman had to work and instead of wearing those ghastley hair nets(EW) they wore these to keep their locks off their face and also to show support for our troops. pretty coolio huh?

If you notice the ribbon tied into the hair of two of these ladies there is a reason they are there. The ribbon wasn't an extra fashion statement, just like in Hawaii with flowers, the ribbon is a label... SINGLE!!! These were to let guys know these ladies were not married yet, and were available. This was also a tradittion in Scotland and parts of Europe up untill the 20th century.



Have a grrrreat weekend everyone!

Douchebag Anthem

So I have THREE gogeous new items that will soon be up for sale @ Dutch Oven Vintage. The first is a Perfect Condition Vintage Fossil Satchel. This lil beaut has a built in wallet in the side zipper pocket, so no more leaving the ID and CC's @ the bar...oooops >)...
Second is the Vintage Suede Shawl i am wearing. This is made out of polyester(feels like micro fiber suede) and suede fringe. With rose black on black embroidery all around the fringed edges. This is a light weight shawl, perfect for those Indian summer nights!

So let me first explain the title, I LOVE the blues, and the title of this post is a Jimmy Burns song. It is pretty much about a Woman who LOVES to drink whiskey and get loco..hmmm maybe I was a friend of Jimmy's in a past life? If you haven't heard it, give it a hear, awesome song!!

Ok so for my outfit I saw that scarf in a thrift store and just instantly grabbed it. I didn't even hesitate or look so see how big it was, I saw, I grabbed, I concored! And maybe it's because the 4th is in 4 FREAKIN DAYS!!!! Woooo I can't wait to share all my pictures form the up comming weekends festivities! back to the clothes, the scarf like I said is thrifted and I bought specifically for the Fourth of July so you will see this scarf again on my post for the holiday, justa warning. The shirt is an oversized vintage eyelet v neck shirt. It is super light and airy. Both of these items will soon be up for grabs on Dutch Oven Vintage. I must apologize for the lack of a hair style, when I was taking these pictures it was so fucking hot out and I was sweating like pig balls so I gave up and put it up in a bun to relieve my neck of a blanket of heat. it helped....

OH and I recieved a lil gift from one of my Besties Catie(you will see me refer to her as My ginger snap, she a red head and HATES being called a ginger) that lives down south in Sunny SD. She works at an UH-mazing hat company called Brixton LTD, I suggest you take a peek @ their website and blog. It is everything surf, vintage, photography, skateboarding, and fashion...Oh so very "So-cal" Bahahah anywase she sent me their Fall 2010 and SS11 catalog....WOW I better start saving $ stat! I told her I might have to start making payments NOW just to ensure I can get everything I want. Keep an eye out for their Fall line, I believe it comes out VERY soon, maybe a couple of months... Their girls line this fall is to die for and they have deff stepped it up! OH and the HATS, OH THOSE HATS...Check them out for yourself, you HAVE to see!!

I am hoping I will get all of the pieces up this week, I know, I know I am totally a lagger haha. Anyways I am SUPER excited for the 4th of July next weekend! YAY three day weekend, beers, fireworks and my baby, what could be better? anyone have any exciting plans? I will just be at the beach with my lil Fam Bam hahah.

Random thought: I really need to start my Halloween costume... anyone know what they are going to dress up as yet? I would tell you guys what I am going to be but then I would have to kill you...muahahahah jk...or am I? :)

Here is a lovely shirt and hat that will SOON be up for grabs @ Dutch Oven Vintage. This 1960's embroidered super thin linen shirt is so comphy and a perfect find for the summer. Wear it with jean cut off shorts, clogs, and a wide brim hat for that perfect beach look, or a pair of jeans and pumps for a relaxed night with the girls. The hat is a vintage 1940's wide brim hat. It is in perfect condition with a ribon detail aorund the crown.

*Please excuse the leg bruises, you will see those alot. I bruise very easily...always have.

What I'm wearing: Hat: Brixton (Brixtonltd.com)
Dress: Nordstroms
Belt: Vintage
Knee Sox: Target
Shoes: NEW :) Aldo

So I'm am just posting an outfit for today. I don't have anything on that will be for sale, but was just SO freaking excited about getting my new shoes that I just HAD to wear them out. I got these cutie patooties on sale for like 30bux? I think...pretty sweet deal. The belt I have on is one of my LOVES, I bought this baby @ crossroads in SJ. on sale for like 5 bux, I usually don't shop there because the staff is so rude but had a hair up my butt and decided to drop in one day, good thing! It was falling apart a little but nothing some tacky glue can't fix. Josh loves this belt as well.

You will notice I wear alot of Brixton hats. This is because one of my friends in Sunny Diego works there and hooks up the goods. Maybe one of these days when I have more followers I can work something out with her for a giveaway..eh? :)

I have sucha hectic week ahead of me, one of my besties baby shower is this weekend and I have yet to go get her present. I'm sucha procrastinator...
