This Saturday I celebrated my birthday with the perfect combination of all of my favorite fall fashion trends. "Anything goes" has been my mantra on fashion this season, daring to test the boundaries of stylish self expression. I paired the textures of faux fur, lace, and alligator textured leather into one ensemble, all three garments thrifted of course. These over the knee socks and T.U.K. red suede creepers are from Urban Outfitters, adding a spunky detail below the knee. Lastly, this gold icicle necklace is a go to accessory that speaks with an edge, also from Urban Outfitters. 

Channeling Cleopatra

I recently had the pleasure of modeling for a fellow fashion design student, Claire Eberts in her dress, "Cleopatra". This dress is a recycled 1960's vintage maxi dress turned into a foxy mini dress. Complete with three tiers of chains on both shoulders this dress is one of a kind. I paired the ensemble with my black suede Jeffrey Campbell Lita's. Now for convincing her to let me wear it outside of the studio! 

Studio Shoot

I'm really excited about the resurfacing of the drop-waist dress trend this season. It incorporates elements of the 1920's, creating an away from the body silhouette making this sleeveless denim button down a compliment to this loose fitting garment. Both the dress and blouse are thrifted and my gold icicle necklace is from Urban Outfitters always adding a hard edge to any girlie ensemble.    

Before the Rain

One week into my fifteen week semester and I'm pumping with fashionable energy! I've transfered this energy into my ensemble seen above, bursting with an early fall color palette. The texture on this thrifted maroon crew neck contrasts with the silky flower print of my dress underneath. This earthy stone necklace from Urban Outfitters and skinny gold belt draw the eye right to the center of my outfit. Lastly, I've paired thick black socks with my Jeffrey Campbell tan Homg's, ready to hit the peopled streets of downtown.    

Let's Go

Here are a few pictures from my recent trip to NYC. 

Brazee Street Talk

I'm always on the lookout for scenes that make up a fashion bloggers paradise, so when this opportunity strikes I simply cannot pass it up. A red brick wall hiding pleasantly behind the suns bright beams fits right into this category. This outfit consists of a very distinct and earthy color palette. My top is thrifted and a slight deviation from the normal striped t-shirt and the yellow green skirt is from the gap. I am most excited about my new vintage black Dooney & Bourke miniature bucket bag that compliments my black suede Lana platforms by Jeffrey Campbell.  

Strip District

This vintage Express jumper provides the perfect costume for running around the city in. Paired with my Jeffrey's and oversized gold hoops, this simple combination speaks loudly in a crowd. The sun flowers are from an out door flower market in the Strip District of Pittsburgh. 

Warhol Warrior

Today is my second day galavanting around Pittsburgh, PA and with the Andy Warhol Museum on my to-do list I properly dressed for the occasion. This daisy bouquet black t-shirt I altered to be a cut-off scoop neck vintage tee. My pleated heart printed skirt is a twist on the catholic school girls uniform, its Lux and from Urban Outfitters in the early 00's. My circular framed sunglasses  seem to make a visually pleasing duo with my signature half high bun. And now it's time to hit the streets once again.    

Overcast, PA

As of noon today,I arrived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I greeted the city in my favorite rainbow striped tank and black and white floral nylon skort. I excitedly met Pittsburgh's cloudy seventies weather with my newly thrifted floor length mesh cardigan, bellowing behind me as I explored these foreign city streets. With Hello Kitty clipped to my satchel and Jeffrey Campbell's strapped to my feet, day one in the city went fashionably fabulous.     

Back drop

Here's a sneak peak of the new visual display at work, not a bad back drop for a few blog snapshots, eh? From head to toe I'm wearing a hot pink button down blouse tied at the waist and met in the middle by the perfect summertime floral skirt and shoes are strappy Fossil wedge sandals. My horseshoe Tiffany & Company silver necklace is just me channeling my inner Carrie Bradshaw, season four. Lastly, these oversized gold hoops with lattice like detailing are from Urban Outfitters, making for a sassy combination of silver and gold.   

Bunbury Street Style

 This weekend marked the second annual Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati. Among my favorite acts that I saw were Weezer, Guided By Voices, and City and Colour. This ensemble, I strutted around from stage to stage on the final day of the excitement. Thanks to my Cambridge Satchel Company neon satchel and Jeffrey Campbell platform sneakers I was sure to stand out. These denim shorts are vintage Tommy Hilfiger and my western horse scene shirt I thrifted right in time for the festival.  

Easy Beat

This look was born out of the basement of one of my favorite local consignment stores. These floral high-waisted pleated pants are so easy to pair with this blue green cropped sweater tank. I am always on the lookout for single pieces which stand out in a way that only need subtle complimentary pieces to go with! These black wedges are Deena & Ozzy and my leather bag is thrifted, it's black stamp patterns seem to make it one of a kind. 

June, First Account

Summertime style is upon us, everything see through, crop topped, and cut-off is dominating city streets strapped in platform sandals. Here I'm sporting a neon green tube top overlaid with a thrifted Liz Claiborne chiffon blouse. Paired with a bottom down gray skirt accessorized with this tribal leather belt. The gold earring are a touch of flavor from my Mother's jewelry box,I'd like to think I'm channeling my inner Santigold, in preparation for her show tomorrow night! It's finally summer, boy do I have more new vintage to show you!
