hola urban outfitters, let's be friends

Oh my, I NEED this dress. With black tights. And a leather jacket. And motorcycle boots.

BDG Flannel Shirt Dress

Love the way this looks too, although calling this a dress is a bit of a stretch. But over jeans? Sign me up.

byCORPUS Bib Dress

This whole outfit is awesome. Plaid jacket with a girly dress. Perfect combination.

Ok, I can't find this picture again on Urban to name the clothes. Sorry.

This sweater looks lovely with the blouse. And, um, those tights are awesome.

Kimchi Blue Crochet Inset Open Cardigan

Not sure what it is about this sweater that made me like it. Maybe it the giganticness. Or the grey color. I'm pretty sure it's not the flamingo, but who knows?

Rendez-Vous by Paul & Joe Flamingo Sweater

All I know is I need to make a date with Urban Outfitters sometime in the near future. Like, tomorrow. Or Thursday.

Peace and flannel dresses,

boots and booties

I have green motorcycle-esque boots from last winter. They are Blowfish from DSW and I love them so much I went back and got them in black. I wore them with jeans tucked in, with tights or leggings, or just barelegged with cute little dresses (we had a pretty mild winter, plus alcohol keeps you pretty warm, ya know?) I also have nice grey Steve Madden boots with a braid up one side. The only thing missing is pretty brown boots...Or fancy black boots. Or crazy colored fun boots... Or ugly brown boots...

Frye Owen Lace Boot - UO, $298

Love love love them. I guess they might be a tad impractical, but I would love to wear these out in the fall with cute little dresses. Oh, and maybe leather jackets...

Frye Paige Cuff Boot- UO, $398

More Frye... Love the color - it's 'Slate'. I've never had boots this high... I usually stick with the ankle or mid calf height..

Canvas Cuff Boot - UO, $48

I usually stick with flat boots, so for me to get a boot with a heel, it's got to have something special going on. I like the cuff of this boot. Oh, and the price.

C2 Dragon Boot - UO, $114.99 (on sale)

Now this one just looks neat. I guess you couldn't really do jeans tucked in, but it would look cool with tights, no?

Frye Paige Canvas Boot - UO, $149.99

They have this boot in black too, but I think the brown looks much prettier. This would be a great casual boot, with tucked in jeans, flowy blouse, giant sweater... This one is definitely a contender...

Angles Motor Boot - Free People, $298

Love it when the boots come with dirt already on them. Saves me the trouble of stomping around in the mud to get that worn in 'yeah, I walk in dirt, so what?' look.

Marc by MJ High Heel Belted Bootie - Shopbop, $695

I honestly have no idea why I want these booties so bad. They have a heel. They're freaking purple. But... Marc makes girls do crazy things.

Some more reasonable, although probably more uncomfortable, options.American Eagle Maddie Ankle Boot - Payless, $37.99

American Eagle Riley Slouch Boot - Payless, $39.99

I like this one a lot. Good job, payless.

DV by Dolce Vita Jordon Boot - Nordstroms, $179.95

This one reminds me of a kinder, gentler version of those crazy Balenciaga boots the Olsen's wore. And you know how I feel about anything even close to something MK would wear....

And here is where I get a little crazy with the price tags. But they're oh so pretty, aren't they?

Miu Miu Strappy Bootie - NeimanMarcus, $790

Wow, I hope grey is as big of a color this fall/winter as it was last... Love it!

Chloe Strap Wrap Open Toe Boots - Intermix, $895

Mmm I love everything about these boots, even the heel. Someday, I will own Chloe shoes... someday...

Peace and boots for everyone!,

interior decorations

I'm sick of seeing the sad birthday post so I decided to do a fun 'things I want to get if I ever save up enough money to actually move out and buy a house' post. Enjoy!

Corral Bed - Delia Furniture, $800

(etsy shop here)

Grassy Green Toothbrush Holder - UO, $10.00

Movie Lounger, $1880 - LoveSac

Um holy crap, if I had this couch I wouldn't do anything but lay on it. I would waste away on this lounger.

I am often conflicted between plain simple traditional furniture and unique modern stuff, as is evident by the fact that I would like both of the following pieces in one room:

Liatorp Sideboard - Ikea, $325Trollsta Sideboard - Ikea, $349


Dandelion Pillow Cover - Pottery Barn, $25

Vintage Book Prints, Catcher in the Rye - UO, $49.99

shiny things

I got a new phone last night!

A little about my cell phone history: My first phone was that really thick navy blue Nokia phone back in high school. You know, the one that had Snake and didn't flip closed. Sophomore year of college, I convinced my parents that I was the ONLY person at Lehigh with a phone that old (and that really wasn't a lie). So we got new phones for Christmas that year, new FLIP phones. I felt so fancy even though they were basic Cingular phones, no screen or anything. I had this phone until Senior year when the screen started to act all crazy. My friend Maggie had an extra phone and generously gave it to me. It was basically the same phone but with a screen, which I thought was super neat. One afternoon senior year I was walking to class in the rain and texting, and I guess my phone got too wet and the pound button stopped working. The pound button, big deal, right? Well, the pound button is the space bar for text messages. For the past year and a half all of my text messages have.looked.like.this. Some people thought I was strange, others thought I was trying to start a no space trend... And I wasn't able to download any ringtones so my phone had the lame generic ring, so UNCOOL. So you can imagine my excitement for my brand new phone.

I got the LG shine! It's the phone on the commercial with LC! It's shiny and has a mirror so when I am not talking about myself I can be staring at myself!! It's really the perfect phone for me.

The things I have to get used to: the keys are pretty tiny so sending text messages is a little more challenging, and I have tiny fingers! I'm not sure how people with big hands would be able to text or even dial well... I got my old ringtone back (China Grove by Doobie Brothers, obv) but it doesn't have very good text message tones and I'm not sure if you can download new ones (anyone know?).

Things that I love already: I can send mass text messages, I can have spaces between my words in text messages, I can put my phone on silent by holding down pound (it was such a bother without that freaking pound key), plus it's just pretty looking.

Tonight I am hitting up Bloomingdales and DSW and possibly FP and Urban on my way home from work to get some good dresses for this loooong weekend down the shore. Shockingly, I have already worn all my dresses so I need some new ones to throw into the mix. The Bloom website sucks so much I don't usually do any pre-shopping on it. The Urban one, on the other hand, it quite lovely and has a lot of dresses on it. I would gladly take any of these:

Free People Himilayan Crochet Dress, $128

Not sure if it's 'going out' material, but adorable nonetheless.

Lux Open Back Sundress, $58

How bright and pretty! The back is neat too, check it out.

Lux Tie Back Bubble Tunic, $68

I don't know why I am always drawn to bubble dresses, they always looks so strange on me... I love the buttons though.

Lux Summer in Siam Dress, $58

The straps are braided. Enough said.

Free People Yuka Flower Dress, $118

Looks plain from the front but the back is really cool. May be a tad too fancy for the bars down the shore, but that's never stopped me from wearing anything before.

Cherry Stripe Dress, $88

The name alone... I want.

Lux Braidstrap Print Dress, $58

So, does anyone know of a good dress rehab I could check myself into (after this weekend, of course)?

Peace and shiny new things,

photoshoot

Get ready for a lot of fairly meaningless pictures....

So tonight I served wine and beer at a kegger in a Catholic grade school gym. I know this sounds strange and hard to believe so I took pictures:

Kegs (Yungling and Coors Light)


Gym ceiling pics (pretty artsy, no?)

Balloons!! Posters!! Blessings!!

My ultra fashionable father. I like to dress him like a 20 year old frat boy.

Before the party started I passed the time by taking pictures of my lovely feet and adorable new sandals!! And my pretty flower skirt!!!

Some cemetery pictures on the way out.

I found my $3.50 F21 sunglasses like this when I got into my car this morning. Tragic. But they do make for some pretty funny pictures.

For example:

My little sister was very sad to find the glasses broken...

And my first attempt at outfit pics...

High waist flower skirt and sleeveless white shirt, Anthropologie. Teal suede fringe bag, Urban Outfitters. Sandals, Marc by MJ.

Clearly I have to work on my self portraits. The camera was being all fuzzy and unfocused no matter what setting I put it on so that was really annoying... Help!

Peace and random pictures,

what a disaster

Last night after work I met Court at King of Prussia for the Bloomingdale's sale. I got there a little early, so I hit up Urban Outfitters which was my first mistake. I tried on a bunch of things but nothing really stood out (probably because I already own like all of the Lux dresses...). I did think this dress was pretty adorable:

But unfortunately it wasn't $118 adorable. I do love the color though. And the buttons. And the neckline. OH GOOD GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?

I have successfully avoided the graphic tee's from Urban. They are cute and sure, sometimes they say funny things about peace and Obama, but I never found one that seemed worth the rather steep price. Until last night...

How could I resist? I know real dead heads would probably make fun of me for buying a shirt from Urban, but hopefully real dead heads don't shop at Urban and won't know...

I also picked up a really pretty teal suede shoulder bag with a ton of fringe. It is such a beautiful teal color. Can't find a picture of it anywhere... (But we did get the damaged camera back and it's all better so maybe I'll actually start to use it...)

Thank goodness Courtney showed up because I was going a little crazy with the pre-shopping. We headed over to Bloomingdale's. I tried on a bunch of things, mostly dresses, and I wasn't too impressed. I did love and end up getting this beautiful French Connection ombre halter dress:

It's called the Pretty Grunge Halter Dress, which is adorable. And those bows!!

I really wanted this Free People dress I saw some adorable girl wearing at the Bike Race on Sunday. They have it in white and red, and in the store they only had the white in my size. The white was a tad see through so I decided to just order the red online when I got home. We went upstairs to the shoe department. I found these adorable Marc by Marc Jacobs sandals but they were waaay out of my price range so I didn't even bother trying them on. The promotional sale was 25% off when you buy two pairs, and since Court was trying on an adorable pair of Aqua wedges, I figured what the heck, I'll just try them on. Well. They. Were. Adorable. As expected. I figured out the price with the discount and my coupons and decided to go for it. Well, they were apparently on sale before the discount and coupons were figured it, and they ended up being about 70% off. I don't know why these silly Bloomingdale's people don't advertise their sales better. I'm sure way more people would try on and buy these shoes if they knew they were on CRAZY sale. It's like Bloomingdale's is just trying to see how serious you are about shoes. Like if you're willing to spend the actual price, you must be pretty committed to looking adorable and fashionable so surprise!! Here is an extremely awesome discount!!

I went on Bloomingdale's website after I got home to look for the dress. It's adorable so I decided to order it in the color I wanted. Here is it:

The website was also having a sale, score, so I decided to seize the opportunity and get the Foley and Corrina Mid City tote in light brown. I'm tired of finding pictures, and I'm sure everyone and their mother knows what the bag looks like. I'm so excited!

Peace and pretty grungy-ness,

TheFashionHead
