Vintage

a southern blizzard with a cup-O-tea

as some of you have seen on the nightly news-Atlanta residents have experienced the worst snow storm in 15yrs and to many this meant a week off of school//work-BUT for me this meant bundling up and slipping on ice all the way to le’job!

here is what i wore and survived on during Snowpocalypse:

sweater, hat and jeggings: H&M, jacket and tee: Urban, purse, boots and belt: vintage, deer antler necklace: gift from Miss Emma Key

mom gave me this mug for Christmas that is just adorbs and it’s been filled to the brim with warmth making it through SNOLANTA’s nuttiness.

-snow white-

*the details are so fun*

little diamonds on the handle, fit for a princess!

-and the shoe that changed it all-

calm + green tips means major yum factor

and off to work,

don’t slip!

hope everyone’s 2011 winter is going swell so far…mine includes lots and lots of work that southern snow can’t even get in the way of, apparently.

sneaky sneaky

as mentioned in previous post, i’ve gone big with a new hair style, ie-cut it all off .!. BUT i wanted to hold out showing everyone until the NYE photos are done and posted over on SorryDarlin.com so here is a mini peak of my hair,

top: vintage via EBV, scarf: no brand, made in India, jacket: vintage, bag: vintage Jordache, Sunglasses: Chloe

Yup, mystery still remains, heheh!

but more importantly about these photos is the jacket and purse, both of which had me all smiles when they were found! the vintage Jordache purse made it into my hands by total chance as i was bidding on an exact same, slightly bigger Diane Von Furstenberg bag weeks ago on Ebay. after not winning the bag i was hell-bent-and-determined to find a look alike, no luck on Ebay OR Etsy so i pretty much gave up and moved on…then while shopping at Highland Row Antiques for some Christmas ornaments for the vino party found my perfect match, and for a mere $15.00! done deal! been carrying every since.

the jacket wasn’t quite as thrilling but i was pumped the moment i put it on, even Kareem pointed out the HUGE smile on my face at Rag-O-Rama when i traded for this $12.00 beauty. i am a little sad these photos don’t show the built-in belt and synching details but they are soon to follow, this jacket is going no where!

have a nice Saturday everyone

Flashy

it wasn’t until a couple of days ago i was made aware that the Atlanta Magazine had awarded LadyFlashback.com the superlative for “Hip Style Blog” in their December issue. when i found out about the possible mention back in November i thought it was just that-a mention. to my surprise i was told that i had actually made the “Best of Atlanta” list.

i am thrilled to get any recognition but a real life print magazine that just celebrated their 50th birthday, even more RAD!

so here is the scanned front of magazine and my spot on the page,

thanks Kareem for helping with the graphic setup!

and since i was so incredibly sick for and around Christmas i wanted to share some classy images from our Classy Christmas VINO party hosted by my roommate and i on December 16. thinking this party is where someone got everyone so so sick, since my friends were also ill a day or so later-opps .!. nonetheless we mingled, nibbled, laughed and got merry with some whites and reds.

got the house all shiny and tidy for the shindig!

my sweety even brought over some balloons!

they gravitated around the light and cast off bits of red, so festive!

myself, roommate and friend Mallory all smiles after a glass or three

one of my bff’s, jamey turned into james this night-classy guy!

Harmony and I hanging out in my bedroom

too many prom dates to choose, went for my two favs!

and pose!

AA socks

Corso Como heels

have some wine with that CHEEZZE!

also wanted to snap some photos of the lovely Elizabeth and her eclectic outfit, she had henna tattoos on her hands-too bad i didn’t get a close-up!

i believe this is [mostly] vintage w//F21 heels

always adore her mix of colors, patterns and styles!

hosting potlucks & events seems to be my thing and i usually get carried away making foodies, this time was no different. i made stuffed feta mushrooms and a spinach artichoke fondue recipe i found via the Melting Pot. the mushrooms i free-styled because you can’t really go wrong with bread crumbs, shrooms, feta and seassoning… and the fondue was so easy, and it had everyone coming back for seconds, here it is:

3oz. chopped cooked spinach

3oz. chopped artichoke hearts

1 spoon of minced garlic

8oz. shredded cheddar cheese

5 turns of cracked black pepper

for dipping:

cubed bread- french/rye/pumpernickel

vegetables – coliflower/carrots/celery/broccoli

serves 4 so i multiplied everything x3 i believe, made a ton!

and lastly,

wanted to share my stingy santa gift i went home with from a friends holiday party,

magical right????

i plan to paint the frame and then hang it someone very visible in my apartment!

well that sums up some of my December happenings but the best is yet to come-

NEW YEARS EVE photos, stay tuned!

vintage, OH MY!

my good friend and vintage shop owner, Savannah and i have shot some vintage clothing over the past weeks for her store-EBV-and although many auctions have ended a few goodies are still left! i’ve picked some of my favorites,

i borrowed and wore this dress in a post back in 2008 and managed to dig it up:

different –> BETTER take on “school girl”

sad to this go!

grunge POWER!

we both thought this was vintage Chanel, but unfortunately it’s just a beautiful custom jacket with CC buttons :((

i need to wear my Frye booties more often

see-through skirt, i can dig it! with a bodysuit of course.

how do you like our styling??

most shoes are mine, and accessories are about split. i am always satisfied with Savannah and my brains put together-we are a good fashion team :))

once the temperature is above ICEBERG we plan to get on the ball with tons more-stay tuned and keep a look out on auctions over at EBV

Blue Tiers

months ago i reluctantly tried on a blue tiered Lauren Conrad for Target dress at Rag-O-Rama..i think that girl is a joke but the dress was way to beautiful to pass up. plus it was super cheap-$12.00 i think..anyways the second i put it on i knew i didn’t care what the tag said, it was MINE! i’ve worn it many times now to several different events, here’s some photos of myself and the dress in action:
