Lavender Locks

Hi guys!  I worked basically all weekend so while its Monday, I kind of don't mind because its not as traumatic as a Monday coming off a super fun weekend.  Plus, I had THE BEST thrifting/ buying trip for the shop this Saturday, so that part hardly seemed like work at all!  Let's just say I went to a new thrift store a bit further away and they had just put out their Halloween merchandise, which is the best time of year to find super unique and old finds. Wahoo!

Anyway, here I am testing out my new lavender locks from Wigsbuy!  Fun colorful hair without the commitment or upkeep (or hatred from R).

Outfit Details:

Vintage Floral Dress - for sale in the shop

Booties - thrifted

Purple Wig - c/o Wigsbuy

This wig was actually about six inches longer when it arrived in the mail, so I gave it a nice little trim to make it look a little less costume-y on me.   I absolutely love it, but these wigs definitely need a bit of styling in my opinion before they are ready to wear, so I twisted the sides back, brushed it out, and was ready to go! 

As much as I have loved my two pastel wigs, I think I would want my next wig from Wigsbuy to be a more natural looking one.  I have SO much fun putting on my wigs, but still do not have the courage to really go out in public wearing the ones I have.  A wig that could change up my look a bit but still look like it could occur naturally on me would be so much fun too!  Below are my top more natural looking picks from Wigsbuy.

  

 

1. Brown Should Length Wavy

2. Red Shoulder Length Waves

3. Long Blonde with Bangs

4. Long Brown with Side Bangs

While I have never tried any of these personally, I think its pretty cool that they make wigs based off of celebrity inspiration pictures, and I would definitely be interested to see how close it comes to the actual picture!

Anyway, I have so much to get done this week before I am off on yet another little holiday up to the mountains with R's fam next weekend!

xoxo!

Orange is the New Black

A few years ago I started this blog as a networking and promotional tool for the vintage shop I was opening.  Last night while R and I were working on some rebranding materials, he asked me what my blog is for now.  While I still think it is important networking and promotional tool, this blog has also really become a favorite creative outlet of mine.  Since our recent move to a new town, I have actually liked going out to explore new photo locations and my tripod has again become more of a buddy and less of a dreaded necessity.  All that to say... I know these photos are strange, but sometimes I really like to not only use this blog to show "what I'm wearing", but also get to express a bit of creativity through it!

Outfit Details:
Dress - borrowed from Taylor
Crown - handmade by me
Beaded Necklace - Mitla Moda
Cat Pin - Albinohare on Etsy
Floral Sneakers - Target
Pink Wig - c/o Wigsbuy

Down the road from our new place is this giant abandoned sugar mill.  Even closer are these open fields with strange abandoned concrete patches and sand piles.  Most people think the mill is an eye sore, but I actually find places that these "leftover" places beautiful.   I thought it would be a fun contrast to shoot a colorful feminine outfit in this strange mix of industrial and wild. The effects are pretty but definitely eery.

On a more sartorial note, orange is definitely not one of my usual favorite colors, but when Taylor offered up this pretty textured dress for swap, I couldn't pass it up!  I paired it with a beautiful hand beaded necklace from Dus's fair trade shop Mitla Moda, along with my favorite meowmaid pin and a flower crown I made.  Dus said this necklace reminded her of my pink wig, so I of course had to throw that on too to complete the crazy sorbet colored party!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Cactus Candy

This outfit was as sugary- sweet as can be.  I felt like a giant piece of candy, and I'm okay with it!

Outfit Details:
Cactus Dress - c/o Oasap
Pink Wig - c/o Wigsbuy
Pink Heels - BAIT Footwear

This Cactus Cartoon Dress is what dreams are made of you guys.  Not only is the print adorable, but it has pink criss crossing ribbons attaching the top and bottom into an easy breezy one piece.  One thing I will say, is that it is quite breezy... a bit shorter than what I would wear, but so it goes with these one size fits most type items.  Let's just say the birds in my back yard may have gotten an undies peek.  And also my neighbors.   Next time, there will be spandex shorts involved before taking this dress for a spin around the neighborhood.

As with any pastel outfit lately, I couldn't resist the temptation to don pink hair for the day.  You can actually see in some of these photos that the wig actually has lavender and aqua in it too!  R is terrified of it.

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Pink Parrot

Want to know how to accessorize a jungle dress adorned with pink parrots? Why, with pink hair, pink sunglasses, a pink purse, a pink headband, and pink shoes of course!  Okay, so maybe I went a little bit overboard.

Outfit Details:
Parrot Dress - Vintage (sold out!)
Purse - Vintage (for sale in shop here!)
Pastel Wig - c/o Wigsbuy
Pink Sunnies - c/o Sunglass Warehouse
Shoes - Keds
Headband - vintage

   I am still really loving this wig and not only because its pink, but because I can have my long hair back now whenever I want it!  I also realized I am pretty much completely camouflaged in this dress in my own back yard, especially in that first photo.  Though, I don't think there are any pink parrots in that bush behind me.

Also a new week, and new favorite pair of sunglasses!  These light pink shades from Sunglass Warehouse are amazing, the mirrored lens actually changes color depending on the angle you're looking at them and its my only pair like it.  Now I'm trying to show some self control and not go back and get at least one of the other colors, but the baby blue is calling my name pretty loudly!

Hope you guys have an amazing weekend planned and happy first official day of summer tomorrow!

Pastel Houses

I've had my eye on this beautiful pastel house print dress for SO long.  So when I saw that Sammi was offering it up for swap via Flock Together, I could not wait to style it!  Since I moved into my very own (rental) pastel house just last weekend, I thought it would be the perfect occasion to ask to borrow it!

Outfit Details:
Dress - Yumi, borrowed from Sammi
Bow Flats - vintage
Pastel Wig - c/o Wigsbuy

In other exciting news... UNICORN HAIR!   A few weeks ago, a sweet lady over at an online wig retailer called Wigsbuy reached out to see if I would be interested in doing a review.  At first I was hesitant after reading a few negative things online, but honestly, I am pretty thrilled with my cotton candy colored wig!  I have wanted light pink or lavender hair for awhile now, so this was the perfect way for me to give it a try without the commitment or upkeep.  This particular one has a very light pastel pink in front, with lavender underneath and a bright light blue in back!  They also have natural looking wigs, but I definitely wanted to go for something a bit more costume-y.  I think the wig looks better with a bit of a style to it so I pulled it back, and it came with a cute pink comb and was easy to brush out without losing a lot of hairs.  It also came with clips and a wig cap, which I need to learn how to use better. Anyway, I can honestly say I am really happy with the fun one I chose!  What to you guys think?!

Hope you are having a wonderful day, and a big thanks to Sammi for letting my borrow my dream dress!
