it’s getting so i have more swap/thrifted clothes than new store-bought clothes! i’m proudly wearing a dress that’s obviously handmade & i’m guessing the 70s from the type of terry cloth it’s made out of. gotta love it!

i’m not really a headband girl, but when i saw these at target, i snapped it up. i’m also really *not* the ethereal woodland nymph kinda girl. i should have bought two headbands, put the leaves on either side of my head & channel more a julius caesar vibe…hahaha!

everyone knows i’m such a jeffrey campbell fan & the lita has definitely been the HOTTEST shoe this season all over the fashiony bloggos. they come in like a bazillion colors, but the mustard yellow was what spoke to my heart. then again, so did the blue…and the purple…and the grey…and the taupe. D’OH!

i still looooove the shape of this coat from the flouncy bustle-like skirt part, to the puffed shoulders, to the 3/4 length sleeves…however i do NOT love the fact that it’s fitting kinda tight these days :( carey may like my waistline, but dang…those buttons look like they’re holding on for dear life o.O

i’ve said it plenty of times before, but these jeffrey campbell clogs have been my frikkin’ workhorse this summer! i’ll be pairing them with socks for autumn, but once winter & all the snow comes, it’s buh-bye until spring :(

our final day in new hampshire & the last of our anniversary weekend. oh well…we had a very relaxing time (it’s nice not to have any specific plans) & the weather couldn’t have been better!

anyone out there still like paisley? trying to get my fill of sundresses before the summer ends (although we’re supposedly hitting 90+ degrees again next week…yay!) & this paisley number has been a favorite for a while…fringing, unraveling hemline & all :)

i just love these brooches…they do double, even triple duty in my outfits a lot of the time :) i styled them with my trusty JC clogs…chanel style, however i didn’t like them in the center of the shoe (i guess if the brooches were BIGGER would look better), so just slide them to the side & juuuuuust right :)

not trying to be shy or aloof, but i’m NOT liking my face-towards-the-camera pictures these days…grrrrr :/ hence a lot more of my looking-down-pose. loser.

what a gorgeous (i.e. NOT sweltering hot) day! i know some other bloggers are waiting with baited breath for autumn, but honestly…i could still hold off on the new england fall & winter weather for a spell. while i do like wearing tights, knee high boots & layering up, it’s all such a chore. i’d rather just throw on a dress & slip on a pair platforms any day! easy, peasy, japanesey :)
