Mega Thrifts

For the past few weeks, I've [perhaps] over-indulged in the thrift scene as the GatorNation has been painfully boring outside of school and work...Just last weekend my friend BD and I ventured to the Salvation Army and hit the thrift jackpot! Turns out, on Saturdays the entire store is half off at any given time for 20 minute intervals... picture the two of us scrambling in one, tiny dressing room in hopes of snagging 2 vintage pairs of high-waisted, Bill Blass jeans for half of their already ridic price of 2.99!

Needless to say- we racked up, each of us purchasing at least 7 garments a piece and spending less than 30 bucks between us. It was lovely... I could'nt even fit them all into one, delightfully orchestrated photo. The rest I will simply have to unveil one outfit at a time.

I swear, the gville Salvation Army on N. Main is THE diamond in the rough.

Finding NetherLand

What a day...I wake up with fashion on the brain, ride the bus to school as such, and spend much of my class time wishing I were somewhere else-in style. What a day...I graduate in August and I am as excited as I am fashionably-terrified. Which way to go, what road to take as a means to break into the industry I so adore drives me nuts at least 4 to 5 times a day...and what a day it is... I tend to over analyze and dramatize EVERYTHING- and, I guess the prospect of life after the GatorNation is no different. So that's what this post is all about-Finding NetherLand... hence the title.

Ciao for now!

H&M Spring 2010

Its sexy, its sophisticated, its dangerously chic...its H&M's Spring 2k10 collection. From keen androgyny, to muted florals, stunning nude pallets, and ethnic accessories one can only find 2 words; "Yes" & "Ma'am!"

Sooo, this past Friday, the Caribbean Student Association hosted their annual charity Fashion/Talent Show with me as their Fashion Consultant. Its relatively easy to style oneself but twice as difficult to style others,
and never had I had the privilege of doing so with 30 some-odd individuals--talk about pressure. The crazy thing about it was, I'd never felt so much like me in terms of campus involvement... I've even begun googleing phrases like "how to become a wardrobe consultant"-- as goofy as it sounds, I feel I may have found my niche [in the fashion world] [Cool-Aid smile]--stay tuned...

Did I mention, 96 percent of the fashions came from thrift stores? [Goooo Goodwill!] Yea, had to throw that in there somewhere, right?

LOL

As always, Ciao for Now!

Man-Up

Lately, I find myself in the men's section of the thrift store just about as often as the women's... there's something about wearing a men's shirt with my best pair of skinnies that I find terribly sexy. Just last weekend I found two [slim fitting] button downs both size small that I absolutely adore. They're pastels so they don't look too manish but masculine non-the-less. I am not without influence- I've fawned over this trend for ages...

One could say I enjoy sipping the Cool-Aid.

Crews-in

[Festive] shoe shopping is a relatively new love for me as I tend to go for the sensible-goes with almost everything type of shoe. However, on this particular adventure I decided to step outside my little [shoe] box and into that of J. Crew's.
Such a leap has never been so fashionable....
