October 2009

t-minus 2 hours till I’m back in my costume and going up to MJQ for the bash of all bashes, and to boogie once again in our spacey attire. Last night we hit up STS9 in Birmingham and ended the night with a slumber party at Kelsey’s crib. Hope everyone’s Halloween has been splendid thus far, and your evening is a spookalicious affaire!! 

Last weekend friends and I went down to Little Five Points for the annual Halloween parade and boy did we get spooked! There was zombies galore, walking the streets and freakin us out!

aah!

this cracked me up so hard!

tell me he wasn’t looking dead at me?!

Highway to Hell

a tribe called pink//

this is only the tip of the parade iceberg (no pun intended but it was very cold!)  anywho, these are my favs, hope they didn’t freak you out too much (esp that first one-what a creepster!)

as usual behind with the outfit posts, so here are some outfits of the past////

wore this to grab a nice dinner with some gal pals

actually went with the more casual look and wore these vintage booties

wore this ridiculously pink outfit to the East Atlanta Village Strut, it was a rather gross day, weather wise but we had a good time.

another outfit to a dinner, these jeans look quite unflattering here but I wanted to debut my new black/white H&M shirt. love it.

casual night, casual look

comfiest pants ever made!

wore this on Friday for the Daath show && keg party. bought the crazy red lip stick to give it a try and although it’s kinda a pain to keep up (ie, making sure it’s not Courtney Love style, and solid enough to look good) i love it! so fun!!

So I’m uber tired, but wanted to share. actually started this post yesterday and juuust finished it.  tomorrow it’s off to Bamaland, for a weekend of partying with the fam and college football. 

my fashion mind was blown after checking out Mr. Newton and seeing these ladies, I am loving each and every girl’s style. 

the lady on the right looks so comfy, def my kind of outfit! and I juust noticed her ring-bracelet thing, so cool!

could & would rock every single piece here. the contrasting patter of her bag and skirt have me wanting to mix and match patterns more often. did a little in my last post, i suppose. 

fabulousness to the extreme.

their boots are perfection, even covered in dust

(if anyone knows the brand of these, please let me know!)

the oversized watch caught my eye, as well as the sky highs that go great with those tights. 

these gals know a thing or two. 

who are they? 

and can you two please teach me how to get cat eyes so lovely!?

truly blown away by style. makes me realize that with a couple important statement/staple pieces you can build outfits around them and then mix and match with others. you could take the above five outfits and turn them into a 1,000 different looks. lot of black but you get what what I’m saying. 

so I’m STILL shopping for the perfect blazer and currently bidding on some lace up vintage boots & crossing fingers (think these are the perfect ones that have been on my list for a while-may even stud them up. . .) but yea, I’ve got the staple bag and have plenty of winter coats, just need a couple/more/items. thigh high stockings are on my list as well. . what’s a staple piece on your list of things to find???

This weekend was quite eventful starting on Friday with a friend’s band [Daath] playing at a buddies house after their return from touring in Europe. They rocked out real hard and so did we, until retiring when we started seeing cross-eyed. Saturday we went to the Little Five Points Halloween Parade with a friend from back home and grilled out after. I made my first ever batch of homemade banana pudding-Southern style-MmMMMm. so good & easy! watched football, of course, cooked for the boys and did a little cleaning. today we had a delicious hangover brunch and soaked up the lovely weather. tomorrow it’s back to the 8-5er. 

*Major Sigh*

saturday i went to a birthday dinner and wore my favorite black & white dress while sporting my brand new MARC BY MARC JACOBS purse. it’s so fabulous, and made of the softest leather ever.  purchased it from Barneys online and am very very very pleased with the outcome. 

squeel!

thrifted dress, UO tights, Steve Madden heels, MbyMJ purse
