Electric Feel

Today my outfit is comprised of two pieces that I found at this AMAZING garage sale by my house that I mentioned in my last post. Both the skirt and the shirt are 100% silk so they feel absolutely luxurious and cool even in this insane heat. The print on the skirt reminds me of something that Betsy Johnson would design!

I had an amazing weekend filled with the best ever garage sale, tons of pool time, lots of sugar, and even some fun time with my friends! I can't wait to show you all of the items that I got from the sale!!! Hopefully, I will have a sneak peak of all of the items later this week. After all of that I am so tired but I am going to try and post my outfit today after lunch to makeup for not posting last friday. I hope that everyone had an amazing weekend! 

Shoe Sale!!!!

Last January, my friend Laura and I woke up at extremely early on a Saturday morning to go shopping in West Hollywood, but this wasn't any normal shopping trip. This was for the slightly infamous DecadesTwo semiannual shoe sale. All of their designer shoes are on sale for $150 and less. A large portion of the shoes are new, never been worn or gently used including Marcs, Pradas, Louboutins and all of the other big names in designer footwear. My friend ended up getting two pairs of never been worn shoes including a pair of black patent "too small" Marc Jacob from 2007. I got my pink satin Pradas!

The July sale is next Saturday morning!!! I am very excited! There are a few older shoes that I have major crushes on that I hope will some how show up at the sale in the 7/8 section. The only downside is that the 7/8 section of the sale is the most popular section by far so there is a lot of people fighting over the shoes. My friend wears a bigger size and almost no one was looking in that section (or the really small section)! Last year we were in the first 25 people in line and we got to look at all of the shoes first!

If anyone is interested in going or meeting up afterwards, let me know, email me! We will definitely be going again this year! I can't wait! I need someone else who wears a 7/8 to come with me and help me look through that section. See everyone next Saturday!

Elephants on Parade

Blouse: Forever21

Skirt: Zara

Shoes: Target

Watch: Guess

Bracelet: "borrowed" from my mom

Earrings: DIY Shrinky Dinks

I really like combination of this shirt and skirt because the skirt is kind of rough but school girlish while the shirt is very feminine. The ruffles, lavender color and the shoe bows soften up the whole look. This skirt is one of my favorite pieces of clothing and I wear at least once every week! It is so versatile, somehow I have managed to convince myself that it matches everything else in my closet. In the winter or at the office it goes perfectly with tights and boots. 

The earrings were made at a craft party that I hosted when I lived in Spokane. They are made from Shrinky Dink plastic and colored with Sharpies and colored pencils. I have been aching to make some more so look for a tutorial on how to use recycled plastic to make them! I can get a few of my friends together I might have another Shrinky Dink party sometime soon. They are super easy and fun to make so they are the perfect party craft. 

It is starting to get hot in LA, like summer is suppose to be, which means we will finally get to really enjoy the pool. I can't wait! It is as close as I am going to get to a vacation this summer so I am going to have to make due. Oh well, is anyone else going on a really great vacation that I can vicariously go on? Please let me know, that would be fantastic!
