The sun'll come out

This is why I live in AZ... it's been in the 70's and 80's all week and I've already broken in my new sandals! At least the weather is cheering me up a bit, I've got a lot on my mind at the moment and I've been contemplating some changes in my life... I'll fill you in when I feel up to it.

Top of the crops

When I'm miserable I like to shop. Unfortuately, to add insult to injury, I'm flat broke at the moment, so I won't be able to wipe away the tears with a new pair of shoes. I had to suffice with a little trip to the Goodwill with my last $5. Thankfully the thrift fairies were looking down on me and I found this perfect little cropped blouse. Once I've done a few more crunches and basked in the sun for a couple of days then I'll dare to bare my midriff and wear it with a shredded up pair of 501 cut-off's. But until said time, I will be wearing it with some high-waisted slacks.



If I had lots of cash I'd buy these beauties that have been tempting me at Urban Outfitters:

Ups and downs

Sorry for the lack of posts, my life is in pieces right now and I haven't felt much like getting dressed at all, let alone blogging about it. I had these photos stored away from last weekend when I was feeling better.
The tunic is a new purchase from Forever21, it's got a great ethnic print and I love how graphic it looks with black tights and a blazer.



I'm usually a bit lazy with my makeup and resort the safe smokey eye look. I actually bothered to use my liquid liner and paint my lips red and I love it! I really should experiment with makeup more. I have to admit, this look was inspired by the beautiful Hannah, she's like a modern day Bridget Bardot!

These boots were made for shoots...

I had a big 2 day shoot this week. I hate getting dressed for shoots, not only am I spending my days with models and stylists but I'm on my feet lugging around gear, so I have to find the perfect mix of style and comfort. Not to mention I have to figure it out at 6am (not a good time for me) as the call times for these things are usually ungodly. I think I did a pretty good job today, I didn't feel too schlepy around our gorgeous model, and I was practical enough to lug gear for the shooter. Now I just need to find 100 more outfits like it!

Experimenting with some cheap chic today. I've had this dress for a couple of years, it was all of 50 cents in a thrift store out in Sun City. The shoes were a bargain last year at Forever21 and the shades are a great Ray Ban knockoff also from F21.
