The Ballad of the Blonde

So this is what I wore to an Alice in Wonderland party, I got my influence from the Tim Burton version, I guess I could have gone more cutesy and less edgy/cabaret look, haha.

:)

so when I bought this shirt I was with my sister and my niece, and my sister and I were debating what color to call this shirt and we agreed it was a yellow-orange, so my niece, giggling, said, "How about we just call it y-orange?"

Well, once upon a time I read this book and felt really inspired. This book is fantastic not only in the inspiration for what to look for when you go shopping, but it also gives lots of facts and history behind the fashion Nina Garcia proposes. Well, she gives a disclaimer that this is her own list, so I decided I wanted to make my own one-hundred list, so here we go. To begin, here is the list that Nina suggests (as you can find when you look up Nina Garcia's "The One Hundred" under the Table of Contents): A-LINE DRESS :) ANIMAL PRINT :) ANKLE BOOTS AVIATORS :) BALLET FLATS :) BANGLES :) BELTS :) BIKINI BLACKBERRY :) BLACK OPAQUE TIGHTS :) BLAZER :) BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN :) BROOCHES :) CABLE-KNIT SWEATER :) CAMEL COAT :) CAPE :) CASHMERE SWEATERS :) CHAMPAGNE CHARM BRACELET CLUTCH BAG :) COCKTAIL RING :) CONVERSE TRAINERS :) COSMETICS BAG :) COWBOY BOOTS :) CUFF JEWELERY DENIM JACKET DIAMOND STUDS DRIVING SHOES :) ...

Not to mention my hair was pulled back and I would get sweaty after work, so I just didn't want to take any pictures. 2. My old lap top's battery charger died, and because it was so special it couldn't be replaced. And using my camera meant getting a special plug in device because its old one is busted as well. So busted technology doesn't help either. 3. I'm on summer vacation, it's 100 degrees or more outside and I frankly don't really care what I look like! But, a sudden turn of events has motivated me to take care of my look and blog again: 1. I got laid off from Subway, bummer. So that means I am going...
