What I wore to work... werk





Here I'm wearing a vintage tartan button up, Levi's 511 Alpine jeans, gold watch, and classic lace-up vans. My bag is from American Apparel.

I don't know why I decided to post on this particular outfit... I guess I just like it a lot. I feel very 80's collegiate... and I guess I like that haha. This is the most comfortable shirt ever, especially when I leave it untucked. I loveee it.

Ugh, I'm exhausted from going out last night and then working all day. I need to sleeeeep bc I have a super long shift tomorrow (barf).

bye bitches

Okie Dokie Karaoke



I wore this oversized gray t-shirt, maroon cardigan with gold buttons, multicolor scarf, braided belt, and loafers, all vintage along with my Levi's. The Levi's hadn't been washed in like a week so they were super baggy and made me look like I was wearing parachute pants or something (vomit). I would have had more fun were it not for two select losers that were in attendance. Ugh, my cousin is usually my partner in aural crime, however, due to the presence of said losers she didn't want to sing. However, I'm already practicing for next week. I will be singing with or without her. Prepare Jacksonville.

Sexual Seduction NYE (and the day after)












Ok, so we took over 70 pictures while Lauren was visiting so I'm only posting a few and I still feel like it's too many (haha). I had so much fun while lauren was visiting and I wish she could move in with me! But alas, I'm moving off to another busted location for medical school and she's moving to new york to be as fabulous as possible! She was only able to stay for two days but we had a blast. All of the pictures are from NYE except for the last one, which was from the day after.

Lauren looked so amazing the entire time she was visiting. I could barely even pay attention to what we were doing because I was too busy salivating over her insane fashion sense! On new years eve we went to the masquerade ball at Square One and we had an amazing time drinking our little hearts out, dancing up a storm, and scoping out the hotties haha. The next night we went to a different club and had an equal amount of fun!

On NYE lauren wore a vintage mink coat, YSL ankle boots (I can't breathe when I look at them), Chanel bag, and I'm not sure about her dress, but isn't it GORGEOUS?! Lauren is the most fashionable person on earth! She's coming for the Mickey Avalon concert, expect another photoshoot!

On NYE I wore my blue velvet blazer, black bow-tie, gray sweater, striped button up, and oxfords (all vintage) along with my Levi's and masquerade mask! Lauren and I met like... the Steven Miesel of Jacksonville who kept taking pictures of our feet... we loved it!

The last photo was taken the day after NYE. I'm wearing a vintage corduroy blazer (with elbow patches!), a childrens uniform shirt from Kohl's (haha), Burberry scarf (that a very sexy lady gave me), and an Alexander Olch tie (xmas gift from Lauren!).

Currently, I am slightly inebriated so I don't know if this all makes sense but I will come back when I'm sober and check it (haha)

bye sex machines

EDIT: The tie was Alexander Olch... IDK where I came up with Herkovitch... maybe it's because I love Russia so much... who knows? I'll do a separate post on this tie at a later date.

New Bow Tie!




My friend who lives in Chicago sent me this super sexual Marc Jacobs bow-tie. When he asked for my address I thought he was just sending out christmas cards or something. Then I got a little package in the mail and when I opened it I was stunned/elated/planning outfits haha.

Here I paired it with a vintage gray Christian Dior shirt. The shirt is actually way too big for me to wear in real life but when I saw it at the thrift store I had to have it. I love the collar and the pleats on the sleeves.

In other news, the Fried Chicken and Champagne event was amazing! I had so much fun and drank my weight in champagne (oops). For some reason lately when I go to parties I've been kind of bored to death but there were so many interesting people here. I loved it! Unfortunately, I drank a little too much and by the end of the night I ended up sitting on the couch reading the hostesses Tom Ford for Gucci book, from what I remember it was amazing. I couldn't really read that much of it though because there were kids all over the place reading Harry Potter and such and we all know the types of ads Mr. Ford favors lol.

Lastly, Lauren visited for New Years and we had the time of our lives (pictures to follow)! She also bought me a super amazing xmas gift that you will be seeing soon!

Bye Lovers!

EDIT:



I realized that you couldn't really see the color of the tie that well in the first pic so I just took this one. Isn't it a great tie? Ughh... the level of clownery is out of control lol.

(I know I have horse teeth don't make fun of me)

Decisions Decisions




In this first ensemble I'm wearing a tartan shirt, rep stripe tie, and oxfords (all vintage) along with Gap shorts and a Banana Republic belt.




Here I wear a the same vintage oxfords, and Gap shorts. I also wear a children's school uniform shirt that I purchased at Kohls for like $1 or something ridiculous, vintage suspenders, and a vintage Oscar de la Renta tie.

Ok, so these are the two outfits I've came up with for the much anticipated "Champage and Fried Chicken" event (ha). After looking through the pictures I think I like the one with suspenders best. However, I do love how the rep stripe and tartan play off one another... hmmm? I think the suspenders make the out fit a little bit more special. These shorts were actually women's pants from the Gap that I had tailored into shorts. I think all of the shorts I wear used to be pants except, of course, my pleated balloon shorts (you probably see these soon).

Unfortunately, I have to work at 10AM and then go straight from work to the party so I have to decide what to wear by 9AM. Ugh, so stressful.

Thrifted Shirt, Thrifted Tie.





This is a shirt/tie combo I recently bought. I was getting ready for work and decided to have an improptu macbook photoshoot. It turned out kind of shitty but don't you love the pattern on the tie? It's so 70's...I die. It's vintage Pierre Cardin. The shirt is vintage as well. I thought they looked nice together. The watch is from Urban Outfitters, I mean Rolex, clearly. Now, off to fold clothes and organize mountains of ballet flats for 94875 hours.

bye sex muffins
