consumer greed

It's my birthday this weekend and I have been mentally consumed with myself. I aint scared to admit it either- most of my tabs and bookmarks are for things I would love to receive as a gift or wear this weekend. What is actually somewhat of a bummer is when I look at these lust items collectively I'm not too thrilled with my recent aesthetic. I really had no idea I have become so girly with ruffles and frill. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing but It's a long way from my I only wear black hoodies and chucks days.

please make this for me

I would srsly stroll around south beach with this parasoll; I hate the angry summer sun and it's browning effects. I have been eying these frilly little f-troupe bastards for weeks. Those maryjane flats look like panties and would be ideal for work.

I basically want anything from Fairground

I plan to wear this lip playsuit all summer and the "sacred hearts college" graduation dress is perfect as an other rotation piece.

I'm loving stacyleigh's buttery deerskin bags
Yes, I am a helpless consumer and I fall in love with stuff I don't need/can't afford. Big deal.

new clothing inspiration

I've been noticing an obvious shift in my clothing interests. I have been recently drawn to a more sophisticated yet playful style that is a mix of old school secretary, Victorian child and playful girlishness. I've been on the hunt for a cute vintage pair of saddle shoes and on Friday I won these oxford wingtips from Ebay.

An other recent acquisition is this rapscallion romper by Samantha Pleet for Urban Outfitters.

I've picked up a few other pieces from her spring and fall collections and I am in love!

Continuing with this new look inspiration: this grosgrain black bow headband from XXI has been making several appearances on my head lately. The one thing I do hope to avoid is resembling Lucy Van Pelt or Diane Arbus' grenade boy:

I tend to gravitate to somewhat precious and costume-y looks so I need to keep these images in mind as a point of reference.
