Inspired by Menswear

31 March 2011















Well it is safe to say that I have completely broken my fear of
experimenting with color! Not only have I worn shades of pink in
several of my last posts, but I have dipped my toes in a completely
new pool by wearing this shade of emerald green! Quite the break
through, I must say. Please excuse me if I sound very odd... I am
very sleep deprived and in much need of the weekend to come!
Just one more day Bonnie... one more!

I hope everyone is having a lovely week, and yay that it is almost
Friday! Stay tuned, because in the next week I will be having a
couple giveaways. Yippee!

Let's Get Ready










Getting excited for Spring. Despite the fact that it is 40 degrees
today. Hey, I'm a dreamer.

Honey Rose

29 March 2011














I got lucky today and was able to sneak in these photos during the
only time of the day that it was not raining. As much as I love the
sunshine, a gloomy rainy day is just perfect sometimes. I have
kept a cup of coffee/tea handy all day, and have just been listening
to some calming tunes. Perfect day for catching up on school work.

I received this dress from Romwe, and I am so obsessed with it. It is
fit for a tea party or possible a little china doll and makes me want
to frolic. Qualities a gal like me always looks for in a dress.
Anyways, I hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday! I cannot
believe it is in the last one of March. Oh how time flies.

PS- What do you all think about my hair pinned back like this?
I have had bangs in my face for years, so it feels so odd with
my entire face so... visible haha. Not sure what I think yet,
but I just needed a change!

Happy Friday

25 March 2011
















Happy Friday! Not that it makes much of a difference for me, since
I have been on spring break, but I am sure the rest of you are
jumping for joy. I am now out of Texas, and went on a little
road trip to Missour-ah. My boyfriends family lives here, and
I just always love coming to visit. Today we are going to this
vintage clothing store that is also a cupcake shop! As
you can imagine, I am completely stoked. My boyfriends dad
actually just told me about it yesterday hehe.

Anyways about this outfit: this dress is a Japanase vintage
piece from the 70's, and I absolutely adore it. The pleats are
heavenly, and the ruffle detail is just perfect. Oh and this
polaroid camera that I used as a prop was purchased at a
thrift store for just a couple bucks. It still works too! Too bad
polaroid film is so hard to find these days. I am also wearing
this vintage watch, which is also hard to find these days. To find
more watches at a good price check out pre owned watches.
Anyways, I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Summer in Texas Already

23 March 2011



















Hola! It is mid-march in Texas, and it seriously feels like summer. Well,
definitely not a Texas summer, but more like a tropical paradise summer.
I picked up these shorts at my all-time favorite thrift store in my hometown.
I did not even have to alter them. The bag came from the same thriftstore
as well this trip. I really wish I could take you all there! Anytime you
go to Dallas, please notify me and I will give you directions :)

Anyways, I hope everyone is having a lovely week! Today is my
fellow friend/bloggers 21st birthday, Itty Bitty Bomb. Be sure to
head on over and wish her a good one! I'm off for an adventure
around town with the boyfriend.

Spring Cleaning

21 March 2011


















Oh my goodness! I just got home from one of the craziest
weekends in Austin for SXSW. It was very fun, but I must
say I am very tired. It was go-go-go the whole weekend, and
I am ready to rest a little for the rest of my spring break. It is
now officially Spring, so what better to wear than florals? This
outfit is from last week and I am just finding time to post it now,
but I think it is better late than never! I really could not resist the
lace collar on the dress. Such a sucker for little details.

Also, I was featured in a really neat online magazine, called
Spilled Milk. It is wonderful for fashion inspiration! I feel
so honored to be featured in it.

Well I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and here's to a great
new week.

Polka-dot Turband

18 March 2011












Happy Friday everyone! This Friday is especially happy for me, because
it is the beginning of my spring break! I will be visiting my home I have
really missed the ol' Lone Star State. First I will be going to SXSW in
Austin, and I am oh so excited! It is also looking like a meet-up with Amanda
from The Upside of Wonder is in the cards. :)

Anyways, on to the outfit. I got this
scarf from where I work and easily turned it into a turband. All you have
to do is tie a knot in the front, and tuck the loose ends in. Easy breezy.
And a perfect trick for solving bad hair days.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
