when it was october

 I used a magazine cover outfit as my inspiration.
Hello ridiculous poses.

Here's my version of the look.
My blouse was thrifted.

Today's outfit inspiration is:

Elle August 2013 cover with Amanda Seyfried

My black boots were thrifted.

My nephew Speed Racer wore his Jedi costume.

My twin nieces and nephew got all dressed up.

I worked on pages of my Florida trip from 2007.

written at the airport July 31, 2007
painted 2008 or 2009?

Full moon this morning. Only slept 2-3 hrs. 
My guy is groggy.
It's 6:15 am.
We went 1 hour before flight leaves.
I was freaking out in the security line, waiting for my guy to come back. He was parking the car.
I wanted him to make it in time.(P. S. : He did).

The last thing anyone wants is to miss their plane, unless they're in some played out fake movie/story, that I still seem to fall for. 

garden green

I found a runway outfit I was inspired by,
 and wore my version of the look,

I also wore this  Hendrix shirt here,
 and the garden green pants here.

Today's outfit inspiration is:

L.A.M.B. Fall 2013 RTW

My shoes, pants, and purse were thrifted.

When I was in high school, I wanted to live in a story book house covered in 
garden green vines.

"...And his tears fall and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually...

 ...And to the ledge she smiled you wont hurt me no more

But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say


Look a golden winged ship is passing my way

And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually" 

Castles Made of Sand by Jimi Hendrix

Y+B=G

Yellow + Blue = Green

My outfit was based on this style imitating art challenge.
That's when Salazar from 14 Shades of Grey
 chooses a work of art to inspire an outfit.

Here's my version of the look.

I've been feeling the color green lately.
On Sunday I got some ankle moss green boots
made of suede at the thrift store for $1.00.
In image I painted green nail polish, eyeliner, and shadow stick. I'm thinking I might wear my green eye make-up tomorrow.
I've been painting with green paint and ink too...

it's a hat thing

My outfit was influenced by last week's inspiration monday! 

That's when the ladies Megan and Nora of Two Birds Boutique

It's so sad the band broke up this year.  :(

My striped jeans: Target (last Fall)
My black shoes: thrifted

Yes, I wore this last week,
 and didn't finish my blog post.
Time slipped away from me. Blah, blah, blah...

Here's some little cuties wearing hats.
You may have seen these photos before,
but I think they're worth a second look.  ;)

I wonder when I'll get a new hat.
The last time I bought a hat was over 7 years ago.
I hope I find one this Summer.

Well we are now in August,
and I still haven't bought a new hat. Waa, waa.

golden treasures

My outfit was based on This Style Imitating Art Challenge
hosted by Jess from Animated Cardigan.

Today's art inspiration is:

Pink Bow by Jeff Koons

I followed the color palette of the art
 using pink, with hints of red, and gold.

I incorporated gold accessories.

I wore the pink ruffled skirt to resemble the loops on the pink bow in the artwork.
My shoes have red bows too.

My pink blouse with red flowers,
and my golden belt were thrifted,

My golden treasures:

My nephew Speed Racer
His train car says, Golden Spike Express.

It's been so hot, 
I wore shorts and sandals every day this week.
It's 7:57 pm right now,
and it's 87 degrees F
(which equals about 30.6 degrees C).

I am crazy about this song and video:

Bruno Mars - Treasure - Music - More Music Videos


..."Treasure, that is what you are
Honey you're my golden star
I know you can make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you"...Bruno Mars

The last time I saw the ocean was in August of 2012,
 while in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I wonder when I'll see the beach again,
and where that will be?
