The Sickly Ballerina

I am still very very sick, so today when I had to run errands I wanted to keep it comfortable.

I kept it low key with this t-shirt dress that I wanted for so long. It was way too expensive for a t-shirt, so when it was marked down to 4.99 I literally jumped for joy in the store!





New picture spot is my balcony. That's why there are so many pics, I was testing it out. I really like it.
Well since I'm dying I'm going to cut this short.

A Week in Photos

It's been a week since I updated this last and I feel terrible for this. Sorry about being MIA. I got sick again and I've had a crazy week!  Let me fill you in on a few things.

(Click to enlarge)

This photo takes us back to last Friday. It was warm outside, (unlike this week) so I enjoyed it in a dress while heading to class and dropping off deliveries. 

Dress- Charlotte Russe

Tee- F21

Flats- H&M

Last Sunday the boyfriend and I celebrated two years together. This is the card I got him.

While I was helping my mom find the perfect outfit for when she went away this weekend, we stumbled across some great sales. At Sears, which is someplace I never go I got these great shoes for 60% off.

Also I got this great dress for $7.99, it was orginally $98!

It doesn't look like much on the hanger, but it fits me perfectly and is very flattering. The brand is Morgan & Co, kinda funny!

Details on the bottom of the skirt.

Today the boyfriend really wanted to check out Gamestop for a sale, then we headed to H&M and acted goofy together.

I was loving the lavender faux fur, and floppy hat fit for a blizzard.

Ended up kind of liking this one.

Lastly, here I am dying of a sore throat. I hate being sick!

Hope you enjoy this lovely image, and I will have something better to post about soon.

Cheers! xoxo

So today it was definitely too windy to take pictures outside. So here I am again, outside of my bathroom. I did experiment and took some pictures in the kitchen. They came out kind of cool.

I bought this skirt with my momma back in January and haven't worn it until now. After looking at the pictures I noticed it's wrinkly. Needs an ironing!

I cannot put into words how much I love this blazer. I think it was the best purchase I've ever made for my wardrobe. I think this is the third time I've blogged about it. It's so versatile, it can be worn with skirts, jeans, dresses, anything!


MAN my kitchen is a mess, going to go clean it tomorrow.

Swapping stories with my kitty.

The Rebellious Ballerina

So I promised you better pictures today, I kept my word! Here are a bunch!

The weather was gorgeous today, so of course it was time to break out a skirt. The lady at the bank called it a "poofy" skirt. I'd say she's right :)

I really really love this skirt. It's so fun. I'd rather wear skirts and dresses than jeans usually because they are much more comfortable. I don't find jeans comfy at all.








I've had these shoes for a long time. I haven't worn them in awhile, they used to be one of my favorites. I actually wore these to my high school graduation. haha.

Casual Monday Pt. 2

I have to warn you that these pictures aren't very good. After taking these quickly I noticed a smudge on my lens that is very apparent in some of the pics. It also didn't capture ANY detail, and as you all know I really hate taking pictures in front of my bathroom. So I'm sorry about all that. I will have better ones next time.

Today I was still not feeling quite up to par so I threw this very basic look together. I haven't worn this sweater shirt yet that I got for 50% off back in January. The weather is warming up and I didn't want to miss my chance to wear it!

As I said above the weather is warming up and I'm excited because I can finally start wearing open-toed shoes again. Like these wedges, they were probably one of my best purchases from last summer. They are so comfortable, more comfy then some of my flats or dare I even say... sneakers! I've worn these puppies on an eight hour shift before and had no foot problems. For randomly passing the shoe aisle in Marshall's and snagging these for 10 bucks, I got a great deal!

Day & Night

I was going to do this post on Wednesday but unfortunately I became even sicker than I was earlier this week!
Here are my day and night looks from Wednesday. I wasn't feeling too good so my outfits are all sans heels. It's okay, I love flats too.

I like to keep things pretty simple yet stylish when I head to class in the mornings. I'm a terrible morning person, so my brain isn't always firing correctly...hence why I keep it simple.

This blinding silver bag is my school bag. I LOVE it. My mom bought it for me as a birthday present this past year and ever since then I don't go to school without it. I love the star quilting and the chain handles, perfection!

Boyfriend gave me this sunny yellow cardigan for Christmas 08. It's perfect for welcoming Spring! (The jeweled buttons also make me smile haha)

Nighttime

The weather was so nice into the evening that I didn't need a winter coat. So I tried an experiment, I used my pashmina scarf as a make shift cape/coat. It kept me warm, and I was happy with the way it turned out.





One thing about Spring coming that makes me really happy is that I can wear my favorite flats. They're satin so I couldn't wear them all winter!

Hope you enjoyed the day and night post!

Dreaming of shoes.

All this week I've been sick and haven't felt like taking pictures of myself. So instead of leaving my blog updateless...I've decided to make a post of shoes I want SO badly.
BUT I'll probably never have them because either A) they're wayyyyyyy out of my price range or B) they've stopped being produced.
Sad sad sad.



First on my list are these Christian Louboutin Mad Mary's. These shoes I've been dying to own since I was about 17. I love the twist on a classic mary jane and I freaking love studs! They have been out of production for probably two years, and even if they were still being made they are in the 800 plus range. :( *sadface*



I know it seems like everyone in the fashion blogosphere has the Acne Atacoma Wedges, but they are ridiculous! The pairs with the silver on the bottom aren't for me, I love this one though! It's something different, that's for sure. Too bad these babies start at 600 dollars. Yikes!


Something about these Nina Ricci pumps screams femininity and delicacy. The yellow lame could spice up anyone's shoe wardrobe, and the spiral heel adds a beautiful touch. These heels are in the 800 plus price range. Something I could never just drop down on shoes. I don't even have 800 dollars to my name!




Meet the Sam Edelman Zoe boot. Modeled after Balenciaga. They are truly out of this world and crazy. A normal civilian on the street would probably think I'm nuts for wearing these, but I'd love to slip my feet into them. These boots start at the 300 dollar range, which is still EXPENSIVE in the eyes of my pocketbook.

And lastly...


These beauties from the Prada fall 09' collection. I'd prefer the purple velvet pair but I couldn't find a picture of them. I love all the studs (I'd love anything studded haha) and the chunky heel!


Now that you've taken a look into some of the shoes I'm DYING to slip my feet into, what's something on your must have but can't afford wish list?
