If You See It and Want It, Buy It, Own It.




Thrifted silk boyfriend blazer, F21 silk tank, Target shorts, Jessica Simpson platform sandals

I like any blog post where I can quote Lil Flip for my title.

Letting this blazer go was a little bittersweet. If I wear it out once or twice, the integrity of the blazer is not compromised, right? I mean, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still thrifted?

(I didn’t, by the way. Though am very tempted!)

“It’s Vintage.”






Thrifted silk tunic, Target denim shorts, F21 glasses and necklace, Jessica Simpson platform sandals


[Overhead:]

“I like your bracelet! Where’d you get it?”
“Thanks! It’s vintage.”


In my head, I’M thinking, “just because you got it at a thrift store doesn’t make it vintage.”

RIGHT? NO?

I always thought something could be considered “vintage” if it came from a specific time period, i.e. 1950-1980. “Thrifted” means you purchased it second-hand from a thrift or resale shop. They are mutually exclusive, though you can purchase a vintage item from a thrift store. I don’t think anything post-1980’s is “vintage.”

I purchased the silk top from a resale shop, so I wouldn’t call it “vintage.” Although I do admit, that sounds MUCH cooler.


What’s YOUR definition of “thrifted” and “vintage?”

Sometimes I Think, Life is Just a Rodeo




American Vintage shirt, Erin Fetherston for Target skirt, Fallon necklace, F21 belt, Jessica Simpson platform sandals

So the rodeo is in town.

I remember noting that to my friend Audrey, who does not live in Texas. She replied that she had never heard those words spoken by someone she knew.

WELL the rodeo IS in town. Wore this out to go to a disgusting club on Saturday that had a mechanical bull in the front patio to kick off the rodeo. Oh yes. Girls “sexily” riding mechanical bulls. *SIGH* It makes me sad. And then it makes me want to throw up.

Hey new shoes! Last pair and in my size. God wanted me to buy you.

Shoot Ideas




UO sheer cropped button up, UO highwaisted skinnies, F21 necklace and studded cuff, Philippines saints bracelet, Giles & Brother nailhead ring.


Fiance and I finally scheduled that engagement shoot you guys help us win for March 28 in Austin. But now the hard part – WHAT TO DO FOR THE SHOOT?

We’d like something different from the traditional engagement photoshoots because, well, we’re non-traditional people having a non-traditional wedding. While it would be fairly nice to hold Fiance’s hand and stand next to a tree in a park on a sunny day, I feel like we can come up with something more creative and editorial.



Inspiration – Posh/Becks’ “American Idol” shoot and Angelina/Brad’s “Domestic Bliss” shoot.

Perhaps something a little less SEXY TIME. My mom get mad.

We’ve considered something live music-related, since one of our first dates was at a concert and Fiance proposed at an outdoor music festival. Also, a pirate theme.


If anyone has seen any good editorials or photoshoots featuring couples, send them my way!
