Bad quality pics

I felt really good today.
Got this dress last night. $15. Walmart. They have some surprisingly cute fall dresses! Check it out.

Leather jacket

The thing I want most right now for fall is a leather jacket. I used to have one-granted it was fake and from Target-but I still liked it. Who the heck knows where that thing went...


I really want this one but the UK 6 is sold out. Maybe they'll get more? $186.00

This one isn't bad either. And it's cheaper. $128.00

The cheaper the better. Any suggestions?

I haven't had a means of posting pictures so that's why I've been MIA.

Here are some dresses I recently purchased since my absence..

September wedding

Heartbeats

I don't know why I do, but I love this song.
Ignore that dumb fanvid.

I got 3 new F21 dressies to show you. Later...


yeah yeah.

Grandmother's dress

After some 10 years, I have another of my father's mother's dresses. I have sold a few of her belongings via ebay (purses) and all I have left is her bedroom furniture, now 2 dresses, a fur coat, and some jewelry. I have nothing that belonged to my mom's mom. I miss having grandparents. They're all dead on both sides of my family.

Anyway, my cousin on my mom's side wore my grandmother's dress to her high school graduation like 10 years ago and now it's back in my hands. I love it so. Does anyone need a date to the prom or something?

Then and Now

I realized today that I am wearing the same dress I was wearing almost a year ago in a picture with my dog, Chloe. I thought it'd be neat to see how different we look.

She's grown so much and my hair is longer! Uploaded to Facebook Aug 27, 2007

Hiatus

I don't have any money to buy new clothes and I don't care to make interesting outfits as it's just too hot outside and no one is worth dressing up for at work because I just work with a bunch of women at a bra store.

So, until I get money that isn't eaten by bills.....

I guess I have nothing to post.

But I'll visit your pages.

Here's a cutesy video/song to delight your ears.

Beer hair

I'm alive. In case you thought otherwise ;)

Haven't worn anything picture worthy and have no money to buy new things at the moment.

I have however been working on this conditioning of the hair thing.

The first night I used the olive oil masque I saw immediate results. But every other time I've had less than fantastic. Tonight I thought I'd give flat beer a try. I don't know what order you're supposed to do it in. Beer, shampoo, condition? Shampoo, beer, condition? Shampoo, condition, beer??

I did beer first. If it doesn't work, I have plenty of flat beer lying around (I don't pick up my room nearly as often as I should) so I can try it again tomorrow night. I'm also wondering how flat is too flat? I'm not beer expert when it comes to drinking it nor pouring it on my head! Tonight I poured nearly an entire 16oz of Steel Reserve. I also have budweiser and miller high life to try. I wonder if a certain brand adds more conditioning shine than another?

I've got the olive conditioner crap on right now. Is it so much to ask? I just want GOOD HEALTHY non dry hair. That's all. I blame the media..those stupid hair commercials. Is that sleek long hair even attainable!


edit:


Okay, so the beer WORKED! I think. Maybe it was a combination of the conditioning masque and beer but my hair is shiny and soft (er). So I'm going to keep doing it! And I got compliments at work. So..give the ol' flat beer a try!

Hair again, gone tomorrow

I straightened my hair today to give you some idea as to if I can do a cutesy bob-like Katie Holmes in the entry below.

I went to the Regis Salon in the mall to get some good conditioner and left with some olive oil masque thing. 30 minutes twice a week. I really hope it helps my dried out mane!

And what I wore to work..nothing special.

hair

This is the hair style I've been thinking about. I'm fairly certain my hair can't do this though. I don't have fine hair. It's on the coarser side. And it's really dry from dying it so many times. UGH!

I want longer hair but I'm sick of my current blah style. And I'm due for a trim anyway.


Hate Mischa, but I stumbled upon this pic. I like the dress. And the wedges. I'm so ready for fall!!! The saturated colors, tights, prints, scarvs and coats. mmm

Asos

My dress from Asos came in today! I had a feeling it'd be waiting for me.
I'm not sure about it though. I like it but then..well, here take a look:



It fits great in the waist/hips (if not even a big snug!) but ...the arms. I'm hoping this is just part of the design. I don't know anything about UK sizing. My other french connection dress is a 0. But this is a 6. It's definitely not an American 6 because that would swallow me whole.




I just threw this belt on to see if would make a difference. Hmm.

And they threw in a free tote! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee

I don't know who Russell is. Should I?


Oh! And tell me what you think of the website I just finished (I started at 10:30 and it's 2:30 now) for my mom. She wants to breed pups and sell them. CLICK CLICK! I haven't made a full-fledged website since..gosh, I was maybe a freshie in college. Like 4 years ago!

50th post!

I know my shoes and dress didn't exactly mesh today but whatever, I just went for it! My new shoes and swim suit bottoms came in yesterday. I've searched Target, Old Navy and Wal-Mart for a swim top and have had negative zero luck. I hate having a chest! I think I'm having a love affair with stripes. Hopefully by being small, my stripes don't hold true the the horizontals make you look fat!

Anywho, go janes and an $8 Target dress!

MIXWIT is FUN

Receiving via post

Oh, sorry for the confusion! I do work at Banana Republic but not often. I recently took a full time job at a bra boutique, The Fitting Touch. I still work at BR on the weekends--so I can keep the discount!

And excitingly enough, today I found out I got a small raise! More spending money! YAY!!

Last night I was feeling a little down and bought myself a dress from Asos and heels from Go Jane. The dress is French Connection. I really like their stuff. I'm just hoping a UK 6 translates into a US 0/XS.





Does anyone call mail the post anymore? Well, I'm excited to have these things coming! Still waiting on the swimsuit bottoms.

I'm glad the boots are liked. I'm wondering if I should try to ebay them? 5.5 isn't really my size. It's a tight squeeze.

Mom's visit

My mom visited me today. Visits always ensure something new.

We went shopping at various shops, I bought her a bra from the bra boutique I work at, and she bought me new Victorian boots, a much needed wallet, and some used books. She also brought my roommate and I some pictures for our bare walled livingroom. Woo! I am sad she had to leave so soon :(




boots $25, Great Expectations and The French Connection $6 total, wallet $10.





Who is Lina Lee? And why are these boots $210.00? Thank goodness for consignment shops!

new top

I'm trying to buy up some tops, I have none I really like...except my stripey tank.

Bought this at BR last night. I think it's prettty.




It's kind of low cut..but what of mine isn't!

Swim

I just ordered these bottoms, $15. yay.
I hope I can find a halter top at old navy or target. My chest will not fit in that dinky bandeau top.

Summer SALE

Summers sales are everywhere! Sadly, nothing good is in them!
I went shopping yesterday with hopes of finding a few key items.

I found nothing.
A vest from Anthropologie, a top from Arden B., and 2 pairs of Victoria Secret unders.
I hate shopping. Why is it that when you have cash in hand, the racks are bare. When the bank is dry, there's clothes everywhere! AH.





I look chub. I paired the vest with this pencil skirt and a tank from Old Navy (which a lot of people have!)

Navy

I wear this tank entirely too much. Today was work so I paired it with these stripey navy pants. The stripes on tank are navy as well.

Theme: France

(Just a french prop, don't worry I don't smoke)

Last night a friend of mine and I had a dinner party with a French theme. It was so much fun! Amazing food and too much wine!! We danced til 2:30am. My legs are killing me. I'm so glad you like my shoes.


Delicious!


Back, back, back it up. HA..Me and my roommate dancing.


They are too much! Trying to be oh so french.


Stripes girls! How cliche are we?


My skirt is BR. Tank as well. I can't wait for the next dress up dinner party!
