New Old Discovery: DOTS!

http://www.dots.com/ So, I remember going to Dots when I was 12 or so.  I remeber everything was so cute and inexpensive.  Holy COW!  I went on again, and here's what I find: Suede boots for $19 (knee length, flat and heeled) Wool and leather sweater jackets for $20, Wool bombers and trenches for $20, suede black booties for under $20, a three pack of patterned knee socks for $6. And that was just the website.  I also recommend them for flannel shirts.  P.S., You can only really find Dots in a few select cities.  But that is one shopping trip you'll never regret taking! P.P.S. This is not an advertisement, I really like Dots. P.P.S. The website is maddening to navigate through!

Campin' Stuffs

It's finally up, my second post. I might have gotten some of the places mixed-up... ooo... so just ask if you can't find a specific item.  Camping is a good oportunity to enter some texture in, as well as those natural fibers.  Fur being the hottest one out there, no pun.  Think, well, like Vogue said, "girl scout."  This fall, it's all about being a girl.  However, this look is also very "Leaves of Grass" American.  Okay, I hated that book.  But you get my jist... backwoodsie patriotism.  Anti-PETA.  Shocking.  Imagine this a year ago, impossible.  The bear bag is a must: says, "back to nature"

Hit thuh Brakes

'Sright, I'm breaking.  No fashion for a whole day, I was working in thuh Polo place all flippin day, and on my lunch, I went to BCBG.  So, no clothes.  Even though I love fashion, no more, please.  I need to think about other happy things.

What are two things that make every girl happy?  1. Fudge 2. Kitties.   I'll save the desert for last.  The other day, Janet the cat (I named her that, she is SUCH a Janet), came meowing up to our garage door, cold and hungry.  We got her a saucer of milk and snuggled her in a warm towel.  What a pretty baby. She gave me kissies in return.  Then she, went on our porch swing and swung on it for a little while.  She liked that, so she got on the other one and, she swung on that one.  My mom said it was cute, cuz there was the back of Janet's head as she was swinging.  Ha, silly goose!

Fudge.  I love fudge. I especially love Mackinaw Island maple fudge.  3 pounds for $40.  But have you ever TRIED it??? Get some: you won't be disappointed.  I'm not gonna give you a website, cuz that's what your browser is for, sweety. Man, they wouldn't let me take the photo from their site. Bummmmmmmmur.

yeeeeah, thas it rite thur.

Coming tomorrow: The Great Outdoors -- fashion goes back to nature

The Preppy Fall Thang, Ah!

So, awesome, noone can read this.  Let me give it another go.

Actually, you click on it, and you get the full size. Yippeeeee!!! 

Well, here's yo preppy look.  Um, Chadwicks has more plaid skirts, and they're wool.  Chadwicks is actually boss, just so ya know.

And, they engrave stuff for you for real cheap.

So, Bold Colors for fall, y'all.  I picked mustard yellow, cuz that seems to be a vintage fave. Texture, texture is HUGE!

Bon Jour

I'm really excited about this blog, indubitably. So, I'm the type of girl who gets amazing deals on things. Better ones than you. Why? Because budget shopping is my hobby, and one of my favorite hobbies. Also, as an artist, I love all things beautiful. So, I don't buy it unless it is perfect for me; because if I'm not really, definately in love with it, why should I marry it? Because I love it in spite of its imperfections? The next question is, "Do I love my monet more?" And trust me, the money usually wins.

Voila! Les Scarves. ~~~~~~~~~~~Now, these scarves are pretty rawkus. Just imagine them on me with my orangish-auburn hair. Nice complimentary colors. Dark blue right here would go nicely with denim or a white menswear shirt: casual/dress casual... or dressy. Green dots could round out a film noir classic feminine look, as well as enhance cordoroy for something bold. How much were these scarves? They were seven bucks a pop. Keeeep reading! I hate synthetic materials, so don't worry, these are silk. Um, also, why is everything made in China? These were handmade in Italy. I don't like to wear logos on clothing if I can help it, so these are completely free of the logo of a certain polo store that you find all over VOGUE magazine. And I bought them AT this polo store. But this is only the beginning of my finds... fashion and otherwise ;)
