Collected some photos from NYFW via Style.com, Style Sightings, as well as a newly discovered site, Altamira featuring photos of off-duty models. take a lookie of some of my inspirations, notice a pattern?

everyone loved the side braids at A. Wang’s show, I immediatly sported the look, only around my house so far, but def going to style again soon. although I did loose an inch or so yesterday so it may be a minute, pleased with the cut though. . . .

nearly fainted when I saw this outfit, it’s sooo goood. that blazer is from Zara, euro Zara. sigh.

the high-waisted leather shorts make quite the outfit!

a.wang gear////

model sandwich. Yummy!

Coco Rocha at the Erin Wasson x RVCA show//that jacket would go nicely with my fall wardrobe! 

Rachel McAdams during Fashion Week, looking great!

such a perfect pair of round sunnies!

this is my kind of outfit! comfy all around.

these ladies have got some killer style!

could I have put enough blazers in this post?!? so obsessed, but have NOT found the perfect one, and am holding out until I do. Speaking of blazers, my boss brought a pile of crappy old clothes to work to try and give them away to the guys, well of course I rummage through and find two blazer jackets by designer Lanvin! score. totally snatched them up for either a menswear inspired look or a gift to a skinny dude friend. . .whichever. . 

another photo from Altamira’s site, &&& these ladies know what. is. up. 

not talking about their hair either, which is awesome, a look that is quite easy for me

-frizzy hair-

blackfabulousness for sure!

anywho//

as for the post prior, where I mentioned The Sounds show on Friday (which isn’t on Friday at all but rather SATURDAY) (learning this AFTER buying tickets. . ) I’m getting even more excited and looking forward to the weekend since last week’s suuucked. yay for tomorrow at 5:00pm, may it come quickly.

here are some of the others from the shoot back in late August (outfit two) I wore a vintage hippie frock, a gift from Savannah, borrowed Urban Outfitters hat, and vintage jewelry. For this portion of the shoot I was sitting on a stool next to ‘hot lights’ and the photographers mainly focused on the waist up and face. thought they turned out well, such talented folks!

man, what a lame ass weekend. most plans fell through and it rained the WHOLE TIME. there were a couple highlights:

and that’s it. 

I am looking forward to this weekend, The Sounds are playing at the Variety Playhouse, and I’m super stoked. not looking forward to getting the flu shot tomorrow at work, however, but maybe I won’t get sick-again. pretty sure I’ve already had the flu but who knows, may as well take the precaution, especially when it’s free.

cheers ladies!

what a long,

 rainy day, 

glad to be relaxing and going to keep this short and take a warm bath, wind down, and get some much needed rest. below is an outfit I wore attending the 3yr anniversary party down the street at Wasabi {sushi} 

featuring my newly purchased DKNYC heels! They are so fun, I really fell for the two-toned black leather and wood.

while lodging in the Blue Ridge mountains last week, walking around, we discovered so many species of mushrooms. I mean to tell you there were shrooms EVERYWHERE, of ALL KINDS.  I was in heaven, running around like a little girl squealing whenever I found one better than the last. snapped pictures of a couple but there were 100’s so that would have been a little nutty to try and get them all. 

the heart throb. so unique.

Named this one Cone Dome. I would love to know what species this is, need one of those mushroom directories. . .hello amazon?

this guy had pushed a pile of pine needles to the side, what a stud.

I’ll take all of Alice + Olivia‘s 2o1o collection of nude, black, grey and glittery perfection. Take a look for yourself. . . .

the outfit on the right is great, especially those wedges. i’ve been wanting to try this style of trousers but worry that my curves may prove it to be unflattering. hopefully I’ll find a cheaper pair at H&M or something to experiment with.

in particular-those jeans, more particular-the color!

Loving the sleeves but also those two-tones slacks///\\\the set up of this show is adorable, wouldn’t mind having the props around my place, that flower, so cute.

this would be a perfect outfit for a night out, minus those sky high wedges, although they are super hot-i could not walk in those bad boys. 

this 80’s-esque dress is so fun, and her rockin hair makes me want my bangs back although I have vowed to grow them out. the look will never get old.

ok, so I love anything slouchy and this RULES TO THE MAX. are those dangly jewel strands??? if so, wow.

&& lastly. . .really enjoying the peeptoe heels on the right and the jacket on the left. both grey, which is a color I’m adding more of to my wardrobe for sure this season.  Black is another color I’ve been trying to incorporate more of, which is something I try to do every couple of years but don’t ever make that big of a dent in my collection. Well since I’ve already went on a mini shopping spree gaining a grey top, 2 black tops, black skirt and two pairs of black heels-I’d say that’s a start &&& a quick finish since the funds were severely depleted.

Dp and I went to the Red Bull Soap Box Derby over at Piedmont Park Aug. 29 for the races, laughs, and then for lunch///

the heat this particular day was so excruciating we stayed at the races for only a bit before hitting up a little mexican joint down the street.  cold beer. m.m.m

the lava bowl was filled with chicken, cactus and a sweet sauce-you mixed all ingredients in a tortilla shell and enjoyed profusely.

never mentioned the fact that one day after work, drove up to Buckhead for a Dolce & Gabbana sample sale//&& like a fool I forgot my camera but snapped this one with my phone cam///everything was 70% off but that didn’t mean affordable, for example, the above photo. . which are retailed at 10,000 + some change. it was fun just trying on a couple things and looking at all the shoes that have walked the runways. none of which I could fit and/or walk in. . .the man running the show thought I would just looove these bejeweled slacks, he was right, they rule! as well as the paisley velvet number to the right-which were priced about the same. ouch.

**snap snap**

found the motherload of my old bows and immediately started playing dress-up. 

apparently Wednesday nights over at MJQ are off the wall crazy so Ashliegh and I headed there a couple weeks ago to see if it was all true////and YeS it is! the djs played every song that I would ever care to hear, break dancers busted their moves, and the crowd-Ashleigh & I in particular-threw down till they kicked us out when the place was closed!

in motion 

the fun doesn’t start here either, this weekend was great! had a little mini vacation on Friday, after getting 1/2 the day off and heading to the Blue Ridge mtns. and yesterday did a little shopping at DSW and H&M, then headed down the street for a Luau for Wasabi’s 3yr anniversary with free food & Sapporo. good times.
