Pink's for a Day

I hope that you had such a wonderful Holiday and are excited for the new year!!
I have to say that I am now officially pining after a new camera for the new year.  I have an old point and shoot camera that is about 7 years old!!  Its very nostalgic but I have to admit, the idea of taking pictures of all kinds with result of a high quality crisp photos is becoming more and more appealing!!  Anyways, for now I love the camera we have and it gets the job done!!

This sweatshirt I can't get enough of,  someone very dear bought me this sweatshirt for Christmas and I really haven't stopped wearing it since...I love the texture and the look of the light pvc sleeves.  I have really found myself super into monochromatic looks with different textures.  It's awesome!!

I hope that you have such a happy new year!!

S-s-s-equins!

 Hello there, and good morning!!

I am so excited about this amazing sequin dress, and what I like to call a major coup in my book!  I think I say this all the time, but why not say it again, I adore sequins! The more the merrier, and I like to wear them year round, day and night.  I think they are awesome!!  So needless to say that when I find a rad vintage sequin dress its like vintage gold!!  The best part about this dress is that it is going up in the Fashion or Famine Vintage Store as of today and you too can enjoy this sucker as much as do!! It's THE perfect Holiday dress, and don't even get me started on how perfect it is for New Years!!

Anyways Happy Holidays!!!

Orange You Glad it's Sunny

Good Morning!!

Today's outfit is one of my favorite color combo's, light blue and orange!  Its a winning combo if I do say so myself!!  I have found that light blue as well as grey sometimes work as the best neutral.  I love orange and these shorts are a definite go to in the Summer.  However,  its been getting a little colder in L.A. and I've been so excited to wear coats, sweaters, leather, etc. and in turn I've been wearing a lot of  dark colors, leather, black, vampy colored nails, and I love it, but I truly love color!  So for today a little color!!

I hope you're having such a wonderful Holiday Season!!
Talk to you soon!

Rain Calls for a White Blazer and a Blue Beanie

Good Morning!

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe its December already and really, I couldn't be more excited about it!  I have been doing some major hunting for those super special vintage pieces that will be perfect for the Holidays and they are already up on the Fashion or Famine Vintage Store and there will be more coming this week!!  Also, next weekend I will be at my dear friends Flea Market along with a few other bloggers, DJ's, restaurants and you seriously DON'T want to miss out!! I will give you more information this week!  Anyways on to today's post......

One of those vintage gems I've been talking about is this amazing vintage white blazer, and to be honest this one is a little hard to give up, but "c'est la vie" it is up for the grabs.  I could have styled this puppy many different ways, but really, I wanted to stick with the simplicity of how awesome a simple chic white blazer with gold buttons and strong shoulders can be.  I wore it as a dress with my favorite booties and a beanie and called it a day.

Talk to you soon!

B-b-b-b-eanie and the Jets

Well hello there and I hope you are having a seriously rad week so far!! hehe! Not to mention, I hope you had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving!!

I am really all about trying to get into the cold weather looks, but seriously its just been so darn warm in L.A.!!  I'm not saying I'm complaining, but I really could use just a little cold weather and maybe even some snow!!!  I have however, been able to bust out the ol' beanie and oh man I love this beanie so much!!  So why not throw it on with a black cocktail dress!

I had needed a black dress as very specific attire for an event, and of course I knew exactly what I wanted the dress to look like (well, to be honest I wanted the Balenciaga black ruffle skirt with a high slit from their past runway collection to be completely honest!).  Either way, I wanted volume and I wanted a big shoulder.  So I searched high and low and after much hem and haw I found this one in the most unexpected vintage store, and the minute I slipped it on it was mine.  So there you have it!

Talk to you soon!

Holiday Gold

Hello and good morning!!!  

I can't even believe its the holiday season already, let alone Thanksgiving next week and I couldn't be more excited about it!!  It's definitely one of my favorite holiday's if not my favorite!!  In lieu of the holiday season its time to wear as much gold as possible (even though I do this year round!)  

Today's look is all about my gold skirt I seriously can't get enough of!!  If you didn't know this already, I LOVE gold so much, a major chunk of my wardrobe consists of gold, and in my opinion it works the same way black does, it goes with everything!!  I have been getting a ton a wear out of this skirt and so for this I decided to keep it simple with a super old ripped up vintage white tee and my studded booties.         Also if your wondering how I'm wearing a tee and a skirt towards the end of November its because to be honest it just really hasn't gotten cold here yet!!  Looking forward to bundling up for the cold season!!

Talk to you soon!!!

Last Bit of Summer

 

Good Morning!!

As it's not quite freezing yet, its definitely getting cooler in L.A., so I figured one last ode to Summer with this look! I kept it super simple with some pastel vintage shorts that are too comfortable for words, and my favorite Stella McCartney sweat top.  Seriously I wear that puppy more than you know, it is just such an awesome basic.  The sleeves are very voluminous which add such a sense of chic to a sweatshirt!  Last but not least my favorite white pumps that couldn't be more perfect!

Simple In It's Paisleyness

Good Morning!!!

Today's post is simple in its paisleyness.  I love paisley (if you didn't already know this)!!!  These pants may or may not have been borrowed (wink, wink) from the raddest guy around aka Noah Dean.   I really haven't stopped wearing them since I discovered them.  They are the perfect loose fit and the colors are exuberant!  Awesome for an easy go to outfit,  all you need is a simple tank and some classic patent pumps!

Anyways I hope you have an amazing rest of your week!!

Talk to you soon!

My Uniform

TOP of the morning to you!!

Today's post is seriously a peek into what I wear everyday, seriously.  I wear some version of this outfit at least every week.  As I've mentioned before, I really am a t-shirt and jeans (or in most cases t-shirt and cutoffs) kinda girl.  It of course depends on what I am doing, but when I'm working I like to not fuss, keep it simple.  This way, it makes putting on my favorite gold pieces or something extra eccentric, an absolute blast to wear!

Anyways, I'm sporting a new vintage tee, old Diesel jeans that I seriously love, and my coat from a few years ago.  Also, I know I've already mentioned it but in case you haven't heard there is a few new arrivals that will be coming to Fashion or Famine vintage store, and you really shouldn't miss out, they are some of my favorite pieces yet!!  Keep staying tuned!!  Oh and one last thing, there is still a few items left that are on super sale so don't forget to check those out as well!!

Have a great week! Talk to you soon!
