Toto, keep the shoes.

No, this is not an Amy Winehouse tribute look as my dad assumed upon seeing my bee-hive and I come downstairs today. The hive was just a practical use of greasy hair that got me some cuh-razy stares today. "Bite my bee-hive b*tches!" I should have said. R.I.P. to Amy. I'm still mourning Aaliyah, Left Eye, and Michael.  So sad.


dress- thrifted 2.99
shoes- thrifted 4.99
necklace- made by me


I picked up these ruby slippers at a thrift store I found while cruising the boulevard. It just said "Thrift Store" outside. Inside, it smelled like Mary Jane and minimum wage. My kinda joint, uh I mean place. 


"Summer reading, had me a blast. Summer reading, happened so fast."

This book sucked burro churros. I already knew all the stuff in it from my 9 month blogging career. I need to know the good stuff, like how to make my own template, codes, ruff ruff. If you made your own template, I hate you and thank you for reading my ugly template blog. This world needs more tolerance.


God Bless the local library. What a great find. Conclusion: the best way not to look fat is to lose weight or wear your mom's reading glasses. 


Close up of my Coupe de Ville car emblem necklace. Im wearing a Cadillac one in the other. Used to try and sell them on Etsy and then I quit. Might start up my shop again. 

Check out other thrifted looks over at Meagan's Spunky Chateau. She got her dress for fity cent!

  3. I love the dress and heels! Amazing necklaces that you made. I would totally rock something like that :) I was so sad for Amy and hearing about her passing. She had so much talent but just couldn't break from her troubles. Hope you have an amazing day!

  20. Love the outfit, I didnt know they had a dummies guide for blogging I could have done with that when I first started!!

  21. You look goooooorgeous darling! Those shoes are awesome!

    Yeah, templates are a pain in the BUTT. For reals. I just found the simplest one provided by blogger, and then thought of things I wanted to change, and googled the code to change them. And verrryyyy veeeerryyyyy slowly started figuring out how to make it look kinda like I want it, luckily I like it very simple.

  23. Love the hair style as well as the shoes! I never find shoes that cute at thrift stores!

    My template isn't all that great as well, I just used one of the simple ones Blogger provides, adjusted the colors, and then added some snappy b/w photos! No biggie!
