Jeanie's Graduation Party

By
Jeanie's graduation party was on Saturday and it was a big success! We had Mexican food and mini pies so we were making all the stuff for a couple days before the party. The tamales we made turned out so tasty too. I think those should be on the menu again some time now that we know how to make them.

That is a home made ice cream cake and some chocolate cream mini-pies.

The more I looked at my pictures from that day, the more I thought about how my camera is a piece of crap now. It refuses to take decent indoor pictures. I'm quite sad about it, but it's almost time to get a new one. One that actually focuses when I tell it to or lets me manually focus. That'd be nice.


Meanwhile, yesterday we went to my grandparents' house for dinner and whatnot. Somehow we got talking about old clothes and hats and stuff; my grandma brought out this vintage faux fur leopard print number. It was her mom's hat and coat - I don't think they go together and will only wear them that way as an epic costume. However, it's two awesome things and I'll try to find a way to wear them when it's cool outside.

I was parading around that house in a leopard coat, hat, and shoes though. So it was a hilarious time for all. My aunt said I could dress up as Carol Burnett for Halloween.

That leopard coat is amazing! And wow that cake and the pies look delicious. I know the feeling with the camera- mine is exactly the same now, all my photos come out blurry as it can't seem to focus properly anymore! I'm desperate for a new one! Anyway lovely blog :) xx

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Outfit: Concert Tee, Black Denim Mini Skirt, Pink Tights, and White Converse

Here I am wearing a concert t-shirt again. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever stop wearing them. Maybe when I'm 70 I won't wear them with bright pink tights and white wedge Converse, but really, who knows? Maybe we'll all be dressing like Zenon : Girl of the 21st Century by then. (I can only hope.) And if I really take a look at this outfit, all I need is a colorful vest and I may as well have come off the space station. They really liked vests in that movie. I guess they don't need sleeves when everything's climate controlled? It is, however, not climate controlled outside in Atlanta. These pictures are from a couple months ago but it still hasn't reliably warmed up here yet. Also, my hair is now completely different since I had it chopped off again into an asymmetrical pixie a couple weeks ago.
