My sweet friend Sara(her store is amazing!) gave me this gorgeous vintage dress. I didn't quite realize how awesome it looks until I was looking at the pics... Anywho the sleeves are so perfect. I love how they remind me of Anne's long awaited puffed sleeved dress. (all of which you can see in the movie Anne of Green Gables) I also cant get enough of the Art Nouveau inspired print(which has gold

That's because I wear them as little as possible (fortunately the cold doesn't stick around) and I’d rather wear shorts(it must be the Fl girl in me...). Sometimes they just work better than anything else, as can be seen in the forthcoming pics =)   Clip on earrings can at times do magical things to ones

1of1 Customs and One Love Gallery are two wonderful places run by my my friend Rasta and his business partner Jesse I'm so excited to show you some neat details of their awesome places! Rasta is the Head artist over at  1of1 Customs. I asked him what his favourite thing about running the shop and spreading the joy of painting, and this is what he told me.

 The shoulder detail, color and fabulous fit is what won me over on this blazer...   Alas the window of opportunity to wear all things heavy seems to have left the great state of Florida... But I'm totally cool with that because I’m a warm weather gal anyway. I'm very thankful that I got to get this fabulous blazer out of my closet a couple of times(see the 1st time here).  Have a fabulous day =

Without a doubt an infamous shoe... Unfortunately it's way out of my price range. But through the wonders of the internet and a wonderful site called Polyvore I can put multiple pairs in my virtual closet and play with them. Here are the ways I would style three versions of this infamous shoe... Look1: Keeping it simple and perfect for a more formal affair. Look2:Perfect for a night of

 Red and blue can clash so beautifully! I wore this the other night to go gallery hopping. I love art so much and I'm so thankful to have so many talented artist friends!   I've had this blazer sitting in my closet for a very long time. I almost ousted it several times but the fit and color are so perfect I had to keep it. I'm so glad I did because it's so perfect with this dress . I know I’ll

It was one of those everything is "too normal" sorts of days so after much deliberation I came up with this.

I love books of all sorts especially non-fiction and the old classics, here are a few that I am currently reading.   The Ellements of Personal Style, this book is so gorgeous it gives you a little glimpse of  the closets and lives of taste makers. My favorite  lady in this book is Janie Bryant the designer of the costumes in Mad Men. I'm swooning over her closet full of vintage.   Vintage

I recently chopped my hair to it's all time low and I doubt going to get any shorter. Anywho it reminds me of Jean Seaburg's hair in Breathless. It's pushing me stylistically out of my comfort zone to different things(though pouf skirts shall remain my thing).  Officially this is my new favorite skirt it's so versatile,the fit is swoon-worthy and who can resist a clover print?!??

A little post I had started eons ago(sometime in the beginning of November). So now at last I have weaselled out the time to post it. =)  this is the best picture that my dad has ever taken of me it's so beautiful... Originally when I dreamed up this outfit I was thinking of gypsy's but when I actually put it on I realized that it looks vaguely like something that Sophia Loren would have worn

I love this dress it's one in a million... I had never found the perfect 70's hippie renaissance fair dress ever until I stumbled across this gem of a dress at the thrift store and though the picture is a little shaky(hence I hesitated to post it) it best gets across how it really looks in real life...  On another note, boy hair unfortunately does not lend itself well to the 70's bohemian maxi,

A couple of my favorite prints from outfits that I wore in the past. A dashiki that I wore to a family dinner a couple of weeks ago. I love the colors and the print. My fave vintage silk kimono-ish jacket that I wore back in May I never thought to post it until now. By the way teal is the color that I love the most and ironically wear the least... 2011 was a wonderful year I have learned so

A couple of weeks ago I won a give-away hosted by my blog friend Lynn. She was giving a way a couple of things including these earrings I hoped and prayed, & was oh so thankful when I won these amazing feather earrings. They remind me of dream catchers!

I am so thankful for all that God has blessed me with, my family and friends and all of you!I can't forget the closet full of stuff I never in a million(well 5 years  ago) would have dreamed of.

 Artwalk was happening in St. Pete this past Saturday evening, so I wore shorts and pearls not caring about the temp(fortunately it wasn't too cold). It was so nice to spend time with my family walking around looking at galleries and shops, and meeting friends. Lo and behold I stumbled across the perfect pearl earrings at the one and only Bentley's Boutique. they're so 60's and remind me of why

A little something that I wore today... I absolutely adore this lovely little cape jacket from yesteryear. The beauty of chopping off all my hair is it pushed me to clean out my closet, unearth gems, get rid of all the blah stuff, and to look at what resides there differently.

In today's economy money is clearly not growing on trees. That in turn can push one to come up with inventive ways to do things. Here are a few of my favourite ways to store my jewelz that barely cost anything at most one might need $10.00 and that's only in you got tons of jewelz.  One easy way to store necklaces is to take a bud vase and put 2 paintbrushes in it then hang your necklaces in

It hasn't been too cold in my neck of the woods, but in the spirit of wintery weather and for the love of layering I wore this lovely little ensemble . The mixed tirbal patterns and the light weight bulk was my tribute the layers those in the colder climates are wearing. On another note, I chopped off my hair leaving approx an inch more or less... You all can see what it looks like here. I

Twas a blustery day.... for playing with this skirt. So this is recent gem of a skirt that I found a few weeks ago it's amazing and fantasmagorical!!!

I love Florida's fickle weather and all it entails. After all nothing quite compares to comfortably wearing a lightweight fuzzy sweater and shorts, in my book it's the best of both worlds!   LOVE the angles of this sweater... They make me happy and remind me of a sculpture I had just made!   A huge Happy Birthday to my brother!!! (Though I'm not sure if he reads the blog...)Anyway this what I

The 600 block had another block party and fashion show, this is what I wore...   I started out the evening in this necklace, then I found these amazing huge hoop earrings and switched to them(never underestimate the power of statement earrings).

  When I first saw this picture on STREETFSN. I couldn't stop thinking about how easy it would be to DIY these shorts. All you need are the perfect jeans to shorten(still looking...) and some contrasting thread and a sturdy needle.   A few tips:  When you're cutting the jeans make sure you cut them a little longer than the finished length so that they are not too short when they are done.

I'm back from my school induced sabbatical!!! I’ll post as I'm able, because school really does take priority... The colors remind me of flags, punch made with lemons, limes and cream soda(would that taste good?!???), and I keep on thinking this skirt would work for Cinco de Mayo festivities....

  Fall has fallen for a little while here in FL. No longer are we wallowing in the heat, but now we can traipse about in brisk rather than balmy weather. It's truly a breath of fresh air! So I wore my favorite silk top and a newly renovated magenta skirt(I shortened it and replaces the elastic in the waistband) to church yesterday. It was so nice and airy... Happy Monday!

In the particular area of Tampa Bay where I reside murals are a rare site indeed, which makes me very sad. But when I had to go to New Port Richey a small Fl town in Pasco county. I was pleasantly surprised to find a cute tiny town covered with city commissioned murals that depicted parts of the city's history or that had some Fl related subject matter. So here are a few pics that my dad and I

    Once again another post with my favorite pair of shorts these lovely cut-offs I made from a super terrible pair of jeans that I thrifted for a dollar that look really good as shorts. I paired them with this amazing silk tribal print blouse. This outfit really is my lazy dressing at it's finest! Take care!!! & Happy Monday!

I'm sure most of us love to see what's inside other peoples closets and I am certainly no exception. Since I got a request to do a post on my closet(Last year I did an organization of my closet post) I have decided to show you all tidbits of fun things that inhabit my closet. To kick things off I figured I would show you all some dresses that I designed and made out of skirts that just were not

 Lately with the change of seasons(as in very subtle changes...) I have had a hankering for mixed prints and bright pops of color. It really is a breath of fresh air, because when one gets inspired it makes finding things to wear so much easier. Take care and Yay it's Friday!!! =) Love,     Laura wearing: vintage thrifted silk blouse thrifted polka-dot skirt; Sunnies from my brother; vintage

It's been far too long since I have done one of these posts, but I hadn't found an amazingly awesome, dream-worthy and inspiring shoe until... I was browsing the shoes on Polyvore and knew these Lanvin beauty's would be perfect for this post. So with out further ado here it is! The shoes: Lanvin Court shoes which can be found here(be aware this site plays music). It would be awesome if these

So I asked my brother what he thought of this outfit (he's perfect for an unbiased outfit opinion) and he said I looked hippie-ish and to go frolic in daisies... Since there were no daisies to be found, I frolicked on concrete instead. And played with the wind.... The other day I happened a cross a jackpot of rad vintage belts. So I will slowly but surely dragging them out. This is the

We all have choices but do we really look at them like we should? Lately I have been in a little bit of a funk, discouraged about how slowly things have been going and mad at my algebraic math,it's not something that easily comes to me. Anyway the other day I was talking to my dad and he told me you have to choose whether or not I'll be in a funk.And he's right! the more I thought about all that

What do you wear when all else fails? So the week is half way done and FNO is tomorrow!!!! At last Floridians don't have to trek all the way to Miami to participate, because we can go to Tampa!

Hi all!!! I hope you all are having a good Labor Day if you live stateside and if you don't I hope your Monday is a good one =) Anyway I went on a Internet window shopping excursion on Saturday and looked at all of the 50's skirts that I could. It totally inspired me to drag my 50's star skirt out of the closet and wear once again. Also I can't seem to get this little clip from the movie 'I love

A few weeks ago I was hanging out with my good friend Katrina and snapped a few pics of her in this crazy far out outfit that I love!!!! Katrina is a model and artist and so fun to be around.Her style is a eclectic and crazy neither of us care about the local dress code(after all who needs it?).

Absolutely love the tassel,tiny star,number and Roman numeral print. This past Wednesday I went on a mammoth thrifting trip and found this amazing jacket! It's cool and drapey enough so I don't swelter in the heat which makes me so happy because I love my outerwear! Anyway the tail end of last week has been so hectic so I have been wearing variations of the outfit whilst going out and about,

    Oh man I LOVE this dress!!!! I thrifted it last summer and wore in all of it's maxi glory. When I dragged out again I realised that in order to wear it better and wear it more I needed to shorten it so I would wear it, rather than it wear me. Since shortening this little gem it's been in constant rotation. It's super comfy and stands out in a crowd, which definitely floats my boat. At last

  I wore this fun little skirt as a dress a couple of weeks ago. But as I was looking through the pics I realised to my great horror that wearing this skirt as a dress is most unflattering to the tummy... But it is mighty cute =) On a life note, because I rarely talk about my life... I have some really cool news! I now have  job working at a thrift store and I get paid in clothes! It's really

For the longest time I had been wondering how I would make my leopard blouse work in a way that  I would like for summer.  After being inspired by my friend Kiah I finally figured the best thing to do was to pair it with color(like this).     Yet another long over due post! It feels so good to catch up! Now that I have a small arsenal of shorts that I love to wear I wear them quite a bit. But

So about 3-ish weeks ago I wore this.... I have been so busy (and posting new stuff) that it kind of just got shoved behind, so at last here it is! All summer long I kept on remembering my favorite outfit from last summer so I decided to revisit the concept and wear it the way I would this year!   Anyway I am gearing up for school and getting all my books and supplies I am excited to get back

  This is what I wore to church on Sunday and a shopping trip with my dad and I gotta say I love this mustard color it pops nicely and it's a bit fitted which totally makes my day because when ever I look at my tops it feels like all of my shirts are huge and baggy... Though they aren't. Even so I am trying to kick my addiction with oversize shirts. Some progress is better than none =) Take

I recreated this watermelon hued outfit that I wore here. I absolutely love the colors they make me think of summer and watermelon... Also I finally have a  square dance skirt I have wanted one for a very long time so when I found the perfect one at Misred I snatched it up! Looking at these pics cheers me up because today is one of those sort of cold, wet, gray and rainy days. Take care and

I found it at Misred Outfitters last summer and it's been a bit of a staple in my closet.  It's my favorite color,teal and you can't get much better than that, it really is the perfect dress! I absolutely love the man repelling aspects to this outfit unbelted, waist concealing dress+head wrap+big bling= man repelling which

As I mentioned in my last post I chopped my hair! So here's pic of my latest and greatest hair do. I got tired of the bob so I took the scissors and a razor to my hair and come up with this(the bowl cut meets boy cut). It is by far the most adventurous I have ever been. To make it even better my brother told me, "it looked like dude hair". Which made me very happy because I have wanted manly boy

 The perfect twirling skirt! It's 4 tiers of accordion pleated amazing-ness! I can't get enough!!! This skirt also vaguely brings to mind the movement of the flamenco skirt and a bit of the ballet folklorico skirt.  Also it makes me think of the pleating and the fabric that could be be used for saris.   I found this skirt this past week at Misred Outfitters it is seriously Amazing!!!!!

   A little something that I wore on my weekly daddy daughter date at Starbucks. Generally speaking it's very easy to feel overdressed at Starbucks...   Also it's yet another skirt that I have worn as a dress.  As a skirt it knocks my socks off! It makes me feel like a grown up lady! As a dress I kind of wish I was at Coachella or some festival. On another note, I'm so glad you all loved the

 A couple weeks ago I wore my favorite skirt and silk T to church it was one of those, "I have no clue what to wear except for my favorites things" sort of days. It was so funny as my dad and I were walking around our usual picture takin' spot and this little kid told the adult next to him. "Look there's the model that walks down the street every week."

I found this skirt(along with another amazing maxi) the other day when I was perusing the racks at one of my favorite thrift stores and when I tried it on I knew it was meant to be. It reminds me of my other namesake, Laura Ingalls Wilder. I've read all of the books and love them though the t.v shows from the 70's is terrible, way too melodramatic for my liking. You can tell my mom loves books(so

Cliff Richards version of 'Raindrops Keep Falling' I Love this music video it's soooo cute =) 'Too Darn Hot' as sung by the enchanting Ella Fitzgerald. This song makes me think of the summer heat though I know they aren't exactly singing about the weather. Stay cool and take care =) Love you guys!!! Laura

No, this isn't something that I wear all of the time. But here in my neck of the woods, folks like to wear jeans, t's, tanks, and shorts; with flip-flops and tennies as the shoe of choice.When I was a teenager I used to think I had to dress like everyone else but as I grew older and gained confidence I realized that I don't have to be like the majority. So now I have revisited what I used to wear

 Some readers of older books might have read Anne of green Gables. I LOVE that book. One of the reasons why I love the Anne books is because I'm named after her, well my middle name. When my mom was pregnant with me she had no idea what she was going to give me for my middle name. Then she read 'Anne of Green Gables' and that's how I got the middle name Anne, with an "E". But the main point of

Yesterday was the 4th of July in the states...I had a really good day with my family. Hanging out and going to a cute little town for their celebration and amazing fireworks.   Then the rain a thunderstorm came. So I stowed my shoes(they're suede) in the car, hello rubber flip-flops! and traded my bag for an umbrella... thus is the way of Fl. weather. But it was all good, because when the rain

I shortened this skirt the other day and figured that there was no better time to debut it than today I'm pretty sure this skirt will be worn a lot, I love it's funness!!! It makes me think of cupcakes, strawberries, bubblegum and being a little girl. It's one of my new favorite skirts!!!!!   On another note it has been raining cats and dogs most of the week so to spare my other shoes from the

  My dad  took these pics while I was yapping on the phone it turned out really good. This is why I think he would be a really good street style photographer.    I don't wear skirts and dresses all of the time it bores me to do so and I am a FL. gal so shorts are kind of something always worn in the summer(by me,though I don't like to wear them alot). Anyway I am keeping things short since

So yesterday one of my best gal pals(aka sister-like friend) came over and we hung out and she came along when we shot the outfit pics and she had some really good ideas. We laughed, goofed off and had a good time.  we played with shadows  goofed off after all good friends= good laughs laughed and... took some really cool pictures. all of the shadows are so cool!!!

As I mentioned in the previous post I shortened this skirt a different way. To be more specific I took off the top and added elastic I did this before to another skirt but since I did not cut the fabric off evenly I ruined it(the front was too short). It was intentional but the results were not what I anticipated. So here are some tips so you don't make the same mistakes that I made. What you

Several weeks ago I went to a local park and nature reserve with my dad and little sister to take a few pictures and enjoy natural FL. This is what I wore.   A quick little post because I am trying to stay off the computer more(It's very easy to spend FOREVER surfing the net...) and I don't feel like going on and on about what I am wearing...Except this skirt is a staple it's fun and flirty

...Because that's what it is!    I wore this skirt to church on Sunday and felt 100% like a hippie wannabe... I got many compliments and the FAQ "did you make it?" to which I answered, "No,I found it at the thrift store." I like to think that the items that I wear that get the did you make it are very much my style and hence I get that question...  Anyway I found this skirt at the thrift

 Gotta add the goofy ones every now and then. After all, being somber ain't no fun (double negative...my word nerd-itis has kicked in.) I wore this to Church on Sunday and whilst hanging around the house. I love all of the warm hues and this whisper thin cotton skirt. I shopped my sewing pile for this outfit I spent last week making this shirt sleeveless. I also took off the top tier off this

My vest/shirt would not stay on. Whenever I went outside the wind would always knock it off my shoulders, but I didn't mind. I wore this while I was running errands, more notably going to Walmart. I get a thrill of joy when I wear something that errs on the side of dressy-ness whilst running errands. My dress is actually a skirt but since at the moment I'm not feeling it as a skirt but it

  This is what I look like after someone looks at me like I'm a freak because someone is taking pictures for the blog. It always cracks me up, I can't stop smiling whenever that happens. So the other day about a week ago I went to my friends graduation party and wanted to be slightly dressed up but not, and this caftan fits the bill. I love dresses like this for hsummer they let you breathe and

  This is what I wore to church today. The riotous colors and color blocking print on this skirt is incredible. I wish it went to the floor I guess I need make some more maxi skirts. I love the 70's and felt like a 70's prairie girl, hippie and gypsy. I hope you all are having a blessed and relaxing Sunday!!!

Not too long ago I wore this too my brothers end of the year award ceremony at his school, having been homeschooled through high school I never went to anything like that. Out of curiosity I tagged along. This is what I wore....  I have really been into dresses lately, though skirts will always be my favorite. Anyway I was playing around with this 70's shirt dress that I found at my

I grew up watching the Ed Sullivan show reruns on PBS(back in the 90's) because my family didn't have cable. It is there I got introduced to the Mamas and the Papas. I LOVE them they are one of my favorite groups. I think it would have been awesome to been alive or better yet a teenager in the 60's and see them playing live. It would have been so cool, but clips from Youtube work. Monday

a couple  weeks ago my brother had an art show he was in. So I got all gussied up to go to the opening and this is what I wore. Afterward we all went gallery hopping and finished the night off with pizza. It was definitly a fun night! as you can see that particular weekend was unseasonably cool...

 Being a collector of cool skirts when I found this fun vintage wrap skirt at the thrift store I pounced on it. After all, it's not that often that bird skirts of awesome-ness cross my path. This outfit is indicative of what I love to wear and will be wearing this summer,easy cotton and linen pieces with lots of jewelz and flats(for practicalities sake). Though I really want to get more

Not too long ago I tweeted and facebook-ed about the latest jewelry design that I made & I am so excited about it, and here it is!!!  I LOVE it! I do believe it is my best design yet. It is made with gold-tone chain and thin leather cord that is intertwined together and is topped off with a large cobalt agate chunk that I made into a pendant.

So here it is! =)  The first piece I fell in love with is the, Valerie a classic girdle, a piece so simple yet has  a presence.

Yesterday was Mothers Day and I couldn't help but think of this skirt. Mainly because it reminds me of my late grand mother. Lately I have been missing her a lot, she died about five years ago. I know she loved a-line wrap skirts like this one. I inherited one of hers before she died but in a closet purge I ousted it from my closet(I later regretted it). Any way a few weeks ago I was

Blue is one of my favorite colors, I wear it a lot. In some ways it's my alternative to black. I love my newly tailored vest, it's denim(LOVE it) and it's long which makes it more of an interesting piece for me to wear because generally speaking I like to keep my vests short. How do you like your vests, long or short? Happy weekend everyone!!!!! Love,     Laura Wearing: thrifted star print

I wore this outfit about a month ago. But life can sometimes get in the way of blogging. At last I have gotten around to posting it...     Usually I can ramble on and on about what I'm wearing. I do it all the time, especially at home. Though for once I can't think of too much to say about this particular outfit. What I do know is, I love that the colors are in the same family. They are right

    I love this outfit! I wore it to school about a week ago. Sadly layers of silk do not breathe like cotton(a gals best friend in horrendous heat and humidity).Not to mention it has that bohemian feel that I love so much(with a hint of the 90's). In other news I am done with regular classes and in six days I have my exams. I'll be so happy when I am 100% free (until fall). I can finally get

So I mentioned in the previous post that I wouldn't be posting until next week unless a miracle happened. Well I applied myself, and my homework is getting done far quicker than I anticipated(perseverance pays off). So I decided to do a quick little post. I have missed blogging so much...

It was an awesome event!!! I got to meet a bunch of Fl gals with so much style! For the event I decided that I had to wear something that reflects my philosophy when it comes to dressing. Which is,

sh We all have those days that are rainy and blah...When you have to go out and about and it's storming, you have to dress with the weather in mind.  So I have developed a bit of a uniform for those rainy days when I don't have to be dressed to the nines.  So on those days I wear a lightweight silk shirt,shorts, flip flops (rubber and made in Brazil), and spectacular accessories(like this bag)

Here few pictures that I took at the beach during Spring Break. I hope you enjoy them!   Last month during spring break, I went to the beach with some of the ladies in my family. We had a girls day, we ate, talked and took pictures. These are some of the more interesting pictures that I took. We went to Fort Desoto beach, which is full of nature and the way beaches were before people built
