What I Wore: Color Pop

(what I wore: 80s motorcycle jacket – vintage from a garage sale, sweater – thakoon for target, necklace – vintage from mae’s heirlooms, skirt – bcbg, tights – hue, booties – asos)
I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I am struggling to come back to “real life” after such a lovely break.

What I Wore: Winter in the Tropics

(what I wore: dress – vintage from The Grey Dog, blazer – f21, tights – hue, pumps – jessica simpson, earrings – f21, tutu as slip – ebay, lips – covergirl outlast + lip perfection as seen here)
I love making summer dresses work in the winter. Sometimes the easiest way to do that is with a dress that has black in it. This tropical dress is so summery on it’s own but with the black tights and blazer, it works for winter as well.
Here is the dress from summer…

And today…

Sneak Peek: My Wedding

Here are a few of my favorites from our wedding. I’ve got a lot more to share with you after the new year! xo Payton

My earrings and bracelet were antique Mikimoto pearls borrowed from my new mother in law. My engagement ring is a family heirloom that belonged to Robert’s great-grandmother. My wedding ring was created to match by the best jeweler in the state, Mark Fleischner from Lauray’s in Hot Springs. Robert’s ring is also from Lauray’s.

What I Wore: A tutu, among other things

(what I wore: blouse – vintage from potter’s house thrift, skirt – old navy, tutu – dance supply store, tights – hue, boots – aldo, jewelry – vintage and forever21)
Every time I put these thigh-high heeled boots on I feel a little like Hooker McCanIWearthistoWork. However, I believe they can be done in a ‘tasteful & edgy’ way instead of a ‘streetwalker – pretty woman’ way. Hopefully that was accomplished with this outfit. Either way, I didn’t get walked out by HR, so no matter.

What I Wore: American Girl

(what I wore: sweater – ralph lauren, skirt – unnamed vintage, booties – target, bracelets – forever 21)

I felt like this was an All-American kind of outfit. I’m currently obsessing over these wedge booties from Target! I’m the kind of person that will rock bare legs from time to time all winter, with the right footwear. There are only so many outfits that pair well with tights. Am I right?

What I Wore: Snowflakes

(what I wore: sweater – izod from potter’s house thrift, skirt – zara, fleece leggings – ?, boots – ebay, earrings – vintage)
When I woke up to see the first snow of the season, I was inspired to bust out my snowflake sweater. I love this sweater but I’m not sure I love the combo. It’s difficult to tuck a thick sweater into a skirt and work it.

What I Wore: Cotton Candy

(what I wore: dress & belt – vintage from cheap thrills, sweater – vintage from potter’s house, tights & earrings – forever21, platforms – bcbg)
I felt like a confection in this outfit. I threw it all together but I think it worked. The sweater (also seen here) is absolutely divine. I hope you’re having a good week! xo

What I Wore: Sequins

(what i wore: sequin jacket – vintage from potter’s house ($3!), shift – tj maxx, tights – dkny, platforms – nine west, lips – covergirl lip perfection in hot)
I haven’t posted an outfit lately. I’ve been feeling so frumpy and lazy and have been sick for what seems like weeks. ppppppoooor me! I’ve found an incredible amount of cheap and fabulous jackets/blazers/sweaters at this creepy little thrift. It’s quite exhilarating to find something fabulous for under $5! I’ve also been into wearing a bold red lip and not much else in the form of beauty regimen.

What I Wore: The long & short


(what i wore: skirt – lush from shop ultra, blouse – vintage from potter’s house, heels  & earrings – forever21)
I had the opportunity to get a blowout at Ultra studios last Friday. It was a total treat. Anyway, I found this asymetrical skirt and knew it must be mine. I wore this Monday, when the weather was balmy but I think the skirt will really come alive over tights and platforms. 

Inspired by the 40s

jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 56

I am currently inspired by the feminine silhouettes of the 1940s, the soft coifs, the bold lips, the high waist…re-imagined into a more modern replication. jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 57jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 58jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 59jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 60jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 61jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 62jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 63
