STUDIO - WEST SIDE.

charlotte sometimes?

could be the bass too,

yes, the bass.

all i know is...

it's #LOVE.

Why must most #sparkly things be itchy? About to rip my shirt off! #grrr

today i did what i do best when exhausted.

i shopped.

auto pilot style.

mind you, world,

i am a girl who acquires on the cheap.

layers of tulle frills fell quickly in love with

pale sequin-kissed florals.

a teeny, glittery dress upon a hanger

completed my sleepy, dreamy vision...

once again, i feel like marie antoinette would approve.

ha, when in doubt...

(c'est moi on sleep-deprived auto pilot, took this photo in nordstrom's bathroom after reading a quote about how people dress on their "days off" being interesting. was it jason wu that said it? help!)

i belong.

it's true, look at me, as expressed in a previous post, my interests are turning inward. inward as in inside my own eclectic abode.

so here i am, finally doing another outfit post and i realize i match my living room. not intentional. but, what can i say? we are inspired by our surroundings, right?

silk color block dress by LUSH, acquired at Wolfgang in Jacksonville

peacock necklace, a birthday gift from @kris_1

crystal bead strand, a birthday gift from @the_real_debbie

travel block bracelet, a gift for my dear mom from my little bro, acquired at animal kingdom

Creating Wall Scapes The time it would take to bang out an outfit post is directly proportionate to a decor one. And so my shift in focus manifests itself here. Nothing shocking. I'm at bloody home a lot these days & ever tweaking my surroundings. This wee post alone is going to light a fire under my fashiony a$$, though. I'll get dressed and i'll snap pics soon, I promise. But in the meantime... I dressed my wall. This scape exists just above the desk that was my mom's...

I tend to accumulate 5-8 small objects that feeeeel good surrounding one another over time to finally create my wall scape. sometimes i'll hang one tiny item alone on the wall and think of it from time to time when i'm out & about, eventually acquiring additional pieces to cluster together around it.

think: wall sconces, photo frames, small shelves, petite wall clocks, ornate little mirrors, architectural scrolls, dainty little beaded purses with chain straps you can hang them from, alphabet letters, etc. etc. and more etc.

when it comes to those photo frames, fill them with art, a postcard, a swatch of fabric, your own sketch or handwritten poem...

amass your scape pieces, grab some nails, a hammer & a pen to mark where you'll hang each item, voila!

blank walls are boring.

get scaping.

rarely do i feel that it's my accessories that MAKE the look. heck, not sure i'd even call today's look a look anyway. it's cold out and a girl has to run errands with le bebe in tow. i would have definitely worn this to work, on a slept a little late kind of day. + 3"-4" of height in the boot department.

i've digressed. point i wanted to make is, my dad got me the fabulously soft and vivid scarf that i'm wearing today when he was in DC, he thinks it's from Tibet. It perfectly complements my hue corduroy leggings.

and... the bag i got by exchanging a bag i told the german (who did try!), looked like a bag mariah carey might carry. mariah carey is cool. this is not me dissing her. this is me saying she and i don't have the same taste. period. thank you, german. next time, when it doubt, go with anything blue. and shoot for silver or antiqued hardware. love ya.

long ruched sweater is a mad comfy cashmere blend from good old VS, last year. rocket dog boots, bittersweet—they were my dear mom's. faux shearling lined and crazy cozy.

oh & shades = forever 21.

stay warm.

and bright.

love,

(fake japanese kitchen)

my permanent & ever changing accessory has somewhat, HA! no, totally hindered my ability to regularly post here. mother heck. nevertheless... i have continued to wake up daily & even get dressed. sometimes i even surprise myself by looking beyond my yoga pants & leggings, i.e. in this pic. thing is, i #LOVE the contents of my closet. to a level of unhealthiness and i'll be damned if my beloved wardrobe gets marred beyond repair by various baby accidents. anyway, will do my utmost best to throw a few glimpses of fashion as i know it now, post L. bear with me.

love & miss you,

to the library & the park

(in hue cord leggings)

to the zoo

(in jewel mint necklace, forever 21 sailor shorts that i de-sailored

by cutting gold buttons off)
to starbucks

(handmade felt necklace, threads for thought tee, hollister plaid skirt)

le bebe is def cramping my style for now. or drastically changing it. i find myself dressing for him. and i've never ever dressed for a boy 'til now. i love to wear colors and patterns that capture his eyes, inspire him to reach out and touch, make him smile. sorry loveys, i'm whipped. this boy has stolen my heart and my need to wear heels FOR NOW.

love,

'tis the season i literally cover my eyes from seeing things i myself crave acquiring for myself... i do this in lieu of #YAY!, acquiring awesomeness for others, i blame my dad for this wee slip up... it was #BlackFriday & he sent me in ann taylor loft to pick out a sweater for myself from him for christmas (damn, i'm sounding more selfish by the second. must fix!).

he is doing his very best to carry on my precious mom's christmas tradition—a cozy sweater, warm PJs and an enriching book for us kids. and he thought it best i choose my own sweater in light of my particular-ness. sweet dad.

he thoughtfully got in the massive line winding its way around the store as i roamed every nook & cranny for my christmas sweater. once i finally found "IT" i joined him in line and mistakingly spotted the above antique-look bracelet, shimmering and sparkling its way into my hand and on to my wrist.

yep, the sales lady scanned it there when she rung me up. damn all those little goodies wise stores put surrounding their check out areas. 'twas too fab to pass up. especially with a sneaky lure like 50% off the entire store that day 'til noon! (same sale happening right now online i see, bloody hell, NOT letting myself buy this cookie monster awesomeness, hmm why wasn't it in store?!)

yeah, no more wandering into stores that contain merch i might dig. guess that leaves auto parts stores... #grrr. is this as hard for you as it is for me?

love,

fur real faux.

grey's my fave neutral. blue is the center of the universe. paisleys pop. faux is whoa. skinnies rule. that is all. well, now that wouldn't be like me would it? i ramble. it felt awesome to pull on my fave grey jeans again. they just begged to be worn with the ancient shirt i dug out from the back of my closet after admiring & being inspired by a different emanuel ungaro blouse on sea of shoes' recent post. yep, her hair helped to ignite my courage to go rouge too. but loveys, it's the grey & blue faux fur vest that just explodes with cozy rad-ness. onward.

LET'S DANCE

short shorts. fun sound. funky vid.

2011-11-10T05:43:00.000-08:00

it's electric.

if you were to spy on me for a week, you would likely see me in this grey leopard knit at least once. probably twice. i love you, zara. in my world it goes with everything. then along came hue's killer teal corduroy leggings. damn it i want more. got an email from hue for 25% off your entire order too... tempting little teases. steve madden faux-fur pompom boot covers and no, it's not a wig (halloween is so last month), my new red head.

love ya,

sunlovey

p.s. yesterday's photo shoot & baby L dance party were soundtracked by violator.

wild victorian.

sssssssnake slithers into my closet like mad as of late. how to soften it? sunday school socks...in black & cream and frou frou feathers in the hair, of course! j'adore for sure.

love,

p.s. cutting the top off my head was conveniently unintentional. my roots are horrific. they'll be gone soon...

unexpected inspiration

saffron & teal
somehow i get real simple. yes, the mag. i most certainly didn't subscribe. the name alone kind of irritates me. why would anyone ever choose real simple? i'm more of a totally complex girl. nevertheless, the cover of their "fashion" issue actually got me to open it & flip through and within that issue i found the above page and well, something so simple as two hues paired together captured me and voila! this look started coming together in my brain.

of course there's nothing simple about it. no way, never.

lace upon lace upon lace...

oh the places i want to go...

way too fancy is just right.

snake charm.

BOO!

yep, i'm in shorts again, these lacy babies caught my eye and well. i do live in florida, so all the fall shorts i'm snatching up are totally justifiable. and seriously, how else might i show off adorable Fair Isle pompom socks? fringe poncho, check! lace-up platform booties, check! faux-furry hat, check! skull on a stick, got it! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, loveys!

HOLY. LUCKY. LEGS.

just like that, guess boots from a couple years ago turned into...
MAY-JUH bad ass fur boots with bold pompoms! thanks to ingenious little elasticized sleeves i recently snatched up. picture all the boots i'll transform! hell, i'll wear 'em with heels, with flip flops, on their own! i'm smitten. hard.

...and then there were the leg warmers. spotted, today, and like moths to a flame, covering my calves within a half hour. hell yeah i'll unapologetically embrace a look i loved as a six year old. they have rainbow lurex thread running through them = #love!it's all coming together... i've hoarded shorts galore all fall (so far) for a reason that was not clear to me 'til now. my head is spinning. so many looks to come. am i alone in this overwhelming j'adore-ness?!
love,

sunlovey
