New Bag

I practically thrifted this thing out of a garbage can. It's seriously on it's last leg but I don't care I still love it. It doesn't even zip haha. The weird thing I found out after I bought was that it zips up into an even smaller planner/portfolio looking thing. it's really an odd bag.

I took pictures of my Second Look outfits! I'm going for pulled together and professional yet style savvy i.e. sexual nerd. I don't want to look like some frumpy med student who just rolled in a JC Penney's sales bin. Ugh!

I'll update with the photos soon. I'll be expecting honest critique and advice!

I wish Jacksonville would fall off the face of the earth

Tee and cardigan, American Apparel. Shorts, The Gap. Faux croc belt and loafers, vintage. Watch, Urban Outfitters. Glasses, Brooks Brothers.

I wore this out running errands yesterday and then I was too lazy to change before going out so I wore it out to a bar, too haha. I'm really starting to hate Jacksonville. It is seriously a quagmire of conservatism and egregious fashion sense. It's so annoying to go out and never EVER see one person that is remotely well dressed much less stylish and unique. Ughh, woe is me. I guess there are worse things in the world. On another note, I just found out that one of my friends from college got assigned to a client here in Jax for two weeks! So that should be fun. Also, I'm doing brunch with another friend from high school *gasp* on sunday! So I do have a few things to look forward to!

I've seriously been trying to get in shape because summer is just around the corner and I have some seriously cute and seriously short vintage board shorts that I am DYING to wear to some beach/pool party or something. However, they won't be seriously cute on me if I look like a bloated pubescent 14 year old with man boobs. My regimen thus far has been starvation and running everyday. I don't think it is working quick enough so I'm going to have to start going to the gym and using those weird things called weights and a few other torture devices. Hopefully this will pay off and I'll look sexual in time for summer parties. We shall see!

On second thought, I have no friends so I don't know who is going to be hosting these amazing parties I'm imagining in my head. Hopefully, I can make a trip to nyc or something. That would be ideal.

Anyways, I hope you guys all have a wonderful weekend!

Bye LOVES!

The Trials of my Life...

Tweed overcoat, tartan shirt, v-neck sweater, oxfords, braided belt and bowtie, all vintage. Khakis, Obey. Watch, UO

I found this coat a few years ago and even though I practically swim in it I bought it anyways. I loved the huge lapels and extended length double breasted look, and the tweed... oh the tweed!

I gave it to my mom after I bought it and she said she'd take in the waist for me so that it fit better. Two years later I find the thing hanging in her closet unaltered and decided to just bring it home, haha. My mother is a busy woman so I can't really blame her lol. Plus it's not like I really need a coat like this living in Florida. I guess I just saw this and wanted it regardless of wether or not I need it, oh shopping haha.

I thought maybe if it had a belt it would work. Then I thought maybe I could add one of my own belts. This might be kind of weird to take off when I got wherever I was going though haha... who knows? What do you guys think?



Added faux croc belt and grey leather duffel, both vintage.

Oh, and here's a close up of the bow-tie. I bought it at the Hell's Kitchen flea market in New York. Isn't it sexual? Umm, I mean dignified lol

Blazers and Loafers

Here I wear a blue velvet blazer, pink pocket square, Dior belt, and Cole Haan loafers, all vintage. I wore these items with a white v-neck and gray skinny jeans, both American Apparel.

I like all the contrasts in this outfit. The loafers, gold watch, and pocket square are very preppy, however the fit of the blazer and jeans combined with the fact that I don't shower makes me look like a yuppie gone bad. It's as if I'm the child of a former Lehman brother employee... I mean...

I wore this to my family's Christmas party where I proceeded to hide a handle of vodka in the bathroom and take shots periodically throughout the night. This way I didn't really care that a few of my family members were looking at me as if I was dressed ina space suit or something. It was a splendid good time if you ask me!

In other news, I am still kind of confused as to what to wear to this party I have to go to this weekend. I found out that the theme is Champagne and Fried Chicken (is it spnsored by Dsquared? I mean...). I'm thinking short shorts, oxfords (no socks), my school uniform button up, and one of those Oscar de la Renta ties I have... probably the blue and red one. We'll see what I come up with.

later lovers

Today I look sexy wearing...

Today I'm wearing this corduroy blazer I thrifted, it's amazing! You should see the elbow patches!! With this I'm wearing a tartan shirt, Christian Dior tie, braided belt, and loafers, all vintage. I love how the paisley and plaid play off one another... very Simon Doonan if I do say so myself ;)

Now, let's see how many people here in Small Town USA stare at me as if I've just arrived from the Andromeda Galaxy... *sigh*

Hmm... what shall I wear out tonight? I'm thinking sex hair and skinny jeans...
