Happy Easter!

The weather outside downright sucks, but the Easter celebration must go on! Despite the rainy trek to grandmas, lunch was a success!

Thrift Treasure

Happy Spring Break errbody! well my spring break is more like a cold spring day, but i'll take it. This Tyra episode with Paris Hilton is too much for me right now. :( How much delusion can one person take??? Anyways, Here are some of my recent thrift store finds. I love thrift shopping (and garage sales) because you never know what awesome one of a kind things you might find. It can be a little hit and miss, but when you find that diamond in the ruff, all the hunting is worth the reward. for me its the boots!

     

This I got back in December in San Diego, I wore it on my birthday!

I know im short, but long skirts kick ass! its like a blanket. I saw this black and white gingham skirt and it was love at first sight. The jacket used to be hella wrinkly but i ironed the shit out of it. I don't know, its been hard for me to wear the jacket considering the weather and the color( none of my shoes match it).

   I'm single now and this dress is so flirty! At first I thought the neck stuff was a little too cha cha for me, but it turns out to be just enough. More drinks boys!

   Oh! My Easter dress! Easter is this Sunday, and I don't know what I'm doin, but I know what I'm wearin! I really hope this dress gets  lots of sunny, spring and summer outings!

     Alas! The boots! I got this last week and have wore them everyday (except today, slippers)! This is what thrifters strive for! only $18 and made in italy!

a week in review

oh yeah, its been that kind of week. Chaotic, a little sloppy, but zooming right before my eyes. Hot damn, here are the best parts; 

not mine

mine. Last Saturday was my friend's (Gigi and Ed!) wedding. So a couple of weeks ago I finally replaced my sewing machine and this is my first project. I started about two weeks ago with every intention to finish for the wedding, but as it turns out there I was Friday night, up til' 3 am working out the kinks. Her she is! To be honest, it turned out a little tighter and a little shorter than I had hoped but a little leg never hurt anyone. doesn't it look like the dress above? I didn't even see that dress until after I was gone with my own. so ha! I made the necklace, earrings and flower hair piece too! Seriously, wearing this made me feel like Serena Van der woodsen! I didn't take any pics, but I know a lot of people did, so hopeful I can post them soon.

  moments before I started writing up this entry, I was sewing, up until the point I foolishly sewed right through my middle finger nail. I screamed for about two minutes straight! note the bandaid. Last Sunday night I had dinner with my family for my mom's bday. after the meal, my grandma pulled out this ziplock bag full of jewelry. She had recently taken it out of the safe deposit spot at the bank, anyways i came out of if with these! Family heirlooms! I've never had any before but these are from Aunty Helen whom I've never met, but apparently everything she buys is real. 

I love me a lazy Sunday

 Nothing follows a good ole' drunken Saturday night like a relaxing Sunday morning. After waking up at half past noon, we pulled out those st patty's day leftovers and make some delish corn beef hash. Eating outside with the radio and our new sunglasses on, it honestly felt like a mini vacation! err lets call it a staycation. Next we walked through the park, and went on boywatch at the soccer fields. Man, I wish all Sundays could be like this, breakfast and a bongload for two please!  

botanicals

my god i cannot believe this lucky stroke of weather we've been having! With my Tuesday/Thursday school schedule (i.e. days i can cut), and a test last Tuesday, today I could finally enjoy the beautiful, warm weather.  Oh days like these remind me of the good ole' days of summer '08. Botanical gardens, brewskis, 103.7 the band, t-shirt weather, it is all good! I might have even got a little tan today! well, spring is literally just around the corner, and hopefully mother nature makes up for all that rain she's poured on us this last couple months and gift us with an early summer followed by a extra beautiful summer followed by indian summer! what can i say, the higher the temps, the higher my spirits!

sucka for spring

Internet lover
