Free People dress. Zara vest. Urban Outfitters bandeau. Nasty Gal vintage fingerless gloves. Vintage Justin Roper boots
Florals + Denim + Combat boots = My dream combo.
I realize this look is not groundbreaking, so I went ahead and did some accessorizing. I’m still loving tiered ruffles and going for another layered look, decided to throw on this UO bandeau over my new Free People dress/tunic.
Thank you to the fabulous ladies behind two of my daily reads – Oh So Hip It Hurts for tagging me and Fashionista for giving me an award.
Here are my ten random facts…
1. I’m most inspired by the trends from the 60′s and 80′s.
2. I can’t whistle and fake snap my fingers.
3. I only wear skinny jeans but wish I could pull off the wide leg pants look.
4. I played the piano for four years… mainly a mix of Celine Dion and country songs. Yes, I like old school Celine songs.
5. I’ve pushed myself physically when I completed the Los Angeles Marathon without training (note: I don’t recommend this.) and stayed awake while standing for 24 straight hours for charity.
6. In high school I was a coxswain for the crew team. I got to yell at boys and steer a boat. Good times.
7. I prefer the grunge and shaggy look over clean-cut in guys.
8. I had a scar on my face for 13 years, courtesy of Mel. We used to fight A LOT when we were young.
9. I am a huge men’s college basketball fan. This stems from when my school won the NCAA Championship. Best day ever.
10. I have 8 piercings… 7 in my ears.
Admittedly, I get bored easily and decided that I was over the last blog template. This layout feels a bit more open and easier to read. Hope you all like it!

The fabulous Chicisimo team is throwing a summer party tomorrow, August 16, and you’re invited! Dress code is casual, and of course, chic. Send a picture of what you plan to wear or a link to an outfit you’ve already posted on your blog to the lovely Maria at chicisimo@gmail.com. Don’t be late and send in your picture before tomorrow. I’ll be attending.. hope to see you there!
So the great thing about moving is finding things you haven’t seen or may have temporarily lost. Cyndi Lauper CD – was lost but now found. Let the overplaying of “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” start up again. I also found several pairs of neglected and unworn shoes. Score.
Since my shoes are all out of hiding, I thought I’d share with you some of my daily choice footwear.
Colin Stuart studded booties
Vintage ankle buckle boots & Steve Madden boots
Jeffrey Campbell Biz Belted Booties & Dolce Vita Phoenix sandals
Vintage Cole Haan shoes & Vintage black and white lace-up boots
Topshop Aztec studded boots
Urban Outfitters canvas wedges
Urban Outfitters boots & Vintage denim shoes
Jeffrey Campbell Mel shoes
Carlos Santana shoes
Steve Madden booties & Nine West lace shoes
Without being able to splurge on high-end designer shoes due to my lack of funds, I make do with what I have and am always on the hunt for vintage finds. I practically wear my vintage Justin Roper boots any chance I get. In the famous sentiments of T.G., “Make it work.”
Thanks so much for bearing with me during my absence. I’ll get back to everyone’s comments this week and can’t wait to catch up on all of your blogs!

Standard Fleet Buffalo men’s shirt via Urban Outfitters. James Lillis Cages. Vintage boots
I decided to go the more casual route than the first time I posted pics in the amazing James Lillis Cages. With a love for men’s plaid shirts that runs so deep I could live in them, I threw on my teal checkered button-down over these chained wonders. Yes, a random combo from a girl who likes to spew randomness.
I’m apologizing in advance that I will be a sucky blogger over the next week in terms of posting anything new but at least this will give me the opportunity to catch up on everyone’s blogs and comments (thanks as always!). Melly and I are moving into our new pad and I have craploads of stuff to do, a.k.a. this week I will be an insomniac.
Here’s a pic from when we went to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and the only one I could find with suitcases to illustrate we’ll be on the move. I told you I was random. 
BTW, the title of this post is B.R.A.M.’s song “If I Had You To Myself.” I’ve overplayed it so many times that I used up my free listens. Bummer.
