The Mod Girl

Blue!

2011-11-14T17:43:00.001-05:00

Hello! I have recently grown an addiction to Ande Monster's store on etsy.com. Their vintage pieces are sold at a low price along with sales that occur often. I will feature another dress from their shop next week!

Cold front!

2011-11-04T15:40:00.002-04:00

Today we encountered a cold front that I was not expecting at all! It gave me an excuse to wear my heavy tights with my sweater dress. I also got bored so I played with my hair by just pulling back pieces with bobby pins. As far as shoes, I wore some faux-leather heels that I got on sale at Off Broadway Shoes.

Hello, Fall!

2011-10-22T11:28:00.003-04:00

It has been pretty chilly lately! I figured I would do an outfit for fall weather today because I love it so very muchly! I wore a dress that I have had forever paired with some HUE tights in aqua. I also wore boots by Diba and a Saint James red coat with fish as buttons! :) Hope you enjoy!

Go Pink for October!

2011-10-08T15:09:00.001-04:00

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month! I decided to paint my nails pink in honor of it :) Check out my sister's blog for amazing nails!
Today I decided to wear a simple, but functional outfit. It consists of a plain white tank top with a paisley designed skirt. I'm also wearing my Rocket Dog weaved flats. The hair clips are free courtesy of ModCloth.com and my necklace is also from ModCloth.com. I hope you like the outfit! :)
Side note: I'll probably try to do an outfit at least once a week considering the fact that it's basically fall and that means the weather is going to be gorgeous! So that means tights, jackets, and more accessories!

Last Hurrah Sale!

2011-09-27T15:45:00.002-04:00

One of my favorite online stores to shop from is ModCloth.com. Currently they're having a "Last Hurrah Sale" with items 70% off the original price! Of course I had to pounce on the situation! This barely ever happens. I'm still trying not to spend too much money, so I ended up spending $32.97 plus $7.00 shipping which amounted to $39.97! The original price with all of my items together would have been $111.97. That means I saved $72! I don't know about you, but I call THAT a sale!

Interested in what I bought? Here are the three items:

Prairie Song Top

Originally $29.99

Sale $8.99

The Vlog Lady Dress

Originally $67.99

Sale $19.99

Haute Hand-Me-Down Earrings

Originally $13.99

Sale $3.99

Longer Lengths!

2011-09-25T22:25:00.003-04:00

Okay, I'm totally in love with longer dresses at the current moment. I'm also really interested in the 1940's shirt-dress. I bought one off of etsy.com recently and I absolutely adore it! It has a nice red color with purple flowers adorned on it. The dresses that are long in length and are loose and flowy have won me over by far.

New Horizons

2011-05-14T22:09:00.000-04:00

Okay, so I cut my hair back in March and I've been a bad blogger for not posting since February. I believe that since it is summer time I have more time to actually post! I miss blogging, so here goes nothing!

Oktomat here I come!

2011-02-03T15:15:00.000-05:00

Hello pretty Oktomat! Soon to be mine! :D
Okay, so this beauty takes 8 snaps on ONE negative. It uses 35mm film: benefit for being developed anywhere. And come on, who doesn't want a mini-movie? This is the Oktomat:

Here are some sample pictures that have been taken using this plastic camera:

Pretty cool, right?

Indigo - Zoya swatch

2011-01-19T16:24:00.002-05:00

This is Zoya's "Indigo." You can get this nail polish at www.zoya.com. I love this color! I got it as one of my three free Zoyas and I will definitely be buying more from Zoya.

I used 2 coats and Seche Vite as my topcoat.

It's a nice dark navy blue that shimmers in the sunlight. The little sparkles are to die for.

Oh and did I mention these polishes of Zoya are vegan? ;)

Photo 365

2011-01-01T14:20:00.002-05:00

This is a video of 2010! I took up the project "Photo 365" where you take a photograph a day for a whole entire year. I finally made it and I'm looking forward to continuing with another project for 2011!

-the.mod.girl

Let it be

2010-12-31T13:49:00.001-05:00

I guess I'll start uploading photographs from my 365 that I really enjoyed taking during 2010. Enjoy!

This is the first photograph from my Nikon D3000!

Coco Before Chanel

2010-12-24T01:46:00.002-05:00

Coco Before Chanel.

Needless to say I have to see this movie. It includes one of my favorite actresses, Audrey Tautou. It seems like an inspiring movie!

And Tell Me Where We're Goin'

2010-12-20T01:46:00.004-05:00

Recently, I've purchased a heart cut out backed dress and I love it! I've been searching for the right one and finally found what I was looking for.

Let Us Reevaluate

2010-12-05T19:29:00.001-05:00

Sometimes reevaluation is a good thing. Looking back on what was wrong, what was right.
For right now, I'm done with my Philosophy of Race/Class/Gender paper and I only have one final exam next week on Thursday. Everyone's jealous, but I worked really hard this semester for the grades I wanted.

The Winning Bid!

2010-11-08T18:46:00.000-05:00

I found another typewriter that I love more and for a way better price. Then today I found this adorable dress on UO. I am super excited to receive it in the mail! Even though it's more of a summer dress, the environment in FL is so bipolar I'm sure that I'll be able to wear it sooner or later.

-the.mod.girl.

Should I buy this typewriter?

2010-11-04T17:10:00.000-04:00

Okay, so, I've been looking for a type writer recently and stumbled upon this extremely cute 1960s typewriter. The owner is asking for $100 and I was thinking if that's a good price. I think it is, and I haven't really been finding many typewriters around. I think this may be the one...

Stayin' Classy in the Oxfords

2010-11-03T22:56:00.000-04:00

So, today I decided that it was time I buy a pair of these Oxford flats. I think they are super cute and will go lovely with my wardrobe. I got them off UrbanOutfitters.com with a promotion code of WALKTHISWAY for a 20% off! It was completely worth it because it basically eliminated the shipping fee. What a great concept.

Other than that, I've been pretty productive with writing my Philosophy of Arts paper about Schelling and HIS philosophy of art. It's a tad confusing, but all at the same time makes perfect sense.

It's getting a bit chilly outside, too, lately. We're going to get in the 30's°F by Friday and I somehow don't feel prepared enough, BUT I will try!

-the.mod.girl.

Anxiety!

2010-10-25T22:48:00.000-04:00

I cannot wait for my heart cutout dress to come in the mail! I'll hopefully get it this week along with a ModCloth dress and necklace. I'll make sure to take pictures of them once I get everything!

-the.mod.girl.

I'm not going back

2010-10-15T11:27:00.000-04:00

Bright Star

I believe that my Philosophy of Race/Class/Gender class should be a requirement for all undergraduates. I think it gives students a wonderful knowledge of oppression and privilege. A big section that I am most interested in is heterosexism. I love learning about WHY people are homophobic and finding a solution to it.
My mind has been constantly changing with this class. I am learning so much that I feel is so very vitally important for everyone else to experience and know as well. If we educate people, maybe we wouldn't have all this ignorance and name calling.
On another note, I received an "A" on my Philosophy of Arts test! I was so excited to see that "A" too! My T.A. is super cool. I got him to check my paper before I turned it in, fixed my errors, and received my "A." And it feels great.
I also would love to see the movie "Bright Star" in the near future. Just as a heads up! A story full of John Keats and his lover Fanny? Yeah, you know you can count me in any Romanticism-era film.

-the.mod.girl☄

Because I want to see people and I want to see light

2010-10-09T15:20:00.000-04:00

Currently: - Researching a topic for my Philosophy of Race/Class/Gender. Thinking about doing a topic on the recent suicides of gays.
- Listening to The Smiths

Amelie is a wonderful movie! I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Take steps in my direction

2010-10-08T12:56:00.000-04:00

I have noticed lately that a lot of people that dress well are frowned upon by others. Why? I think these people look stunning. And for the people that are frowning upon the people, please stop. Let people have the freedom to dress anyway they want. Sorry, if I find exercise shorts and a tank top boring.
Besides that, I think I aced my Philosophy of Arts test which is extremely exciting!
