You would definetly have to choose your outfit, makeup and timing for wearing this necklace carefully. But, I believe in the right context, could be very flattering and such a statement!

Oh Oscar, the things I'd do for you..

Sometimes, I really hate myself. I start to think, why do you get so caught up in this lifestyle? But, I guess at the end of the day, its the gamble of fashion in the eBay society.

In my case, my decision was torn between vintage, probably fake, 1980's Oscar de la Renta glasses (when would I wear them?? I'll make myself!) and $64.90 dollars of my pay. Then there's the added risk of eBay itself, though the US is a fairly safe market.

The good; they're so cute. The color, the design, I cant stop picturing myself in them with my mousy brown hair. The little OR logo on the side. The fact that I can say that they are in fact Vintage Oscar de la Renta glasses, and I can leave out the fact that I bought them from eBay.
The bad; for a waitress, $65 is a little ouch for my wallet, ahem, purse.
The ugly; eBay is fantastic, except for the slight chance of crap quality, knock-offs and imaginary items. Slight chance.

Anyway, I'm going to take the plunge. I'm slightly fashion-risky. Here they are,






Yays!!

Maurie & Eve Six Shooter Dress

Just purchased via Ebay, a new-with-tags Maurie and Eve dress. My first piece of theirs, so I hope this all goes smoothly! But i'm fairly sure with 100% silk it will.

Getting ready for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is by far, and I mean by far, my most favored holiday of the year. In fact, I'm willing to say that it's my favorite day of the whole, entire, year. It beats my birthday, easter, and St. Nicks day (chocolates in my shoes when I wake up!! Bless being German.)
And do you know why? Of course not, say to yourself. Just fucking tell me.
Because what on earth is greater for a nineteen year old girl, than dressing up however she likes, in her most favored color in the world, going to a pub, preferably, unleashing your inner-Irish and setting out to a night you'll never remember.
Oh, and be bound to hear at least one hot accent. (Irish beer goggles come with unleashing your inner Irish.)


Therefore this year I'm getting prepared early, March 17th lovelies!


Heres some inspiration. Pretty sure I'm going with the last pair.

L.A.M.B Navy Wedge

Now I've always loved Gwen Stefani, and I've always loved fashion, so loving L.A.M.B comes naturally. I was browsing amazon, telling myself 'I'm just having a look...' when these marvelous gorgeous incredible fantastical wedges shoved themselves right into my shopping cart. Oh no! and then the cat pressed buy!!
Any-who, I hear wedges are great but have been having trouble finding a pair I actually like, I think most of them look pretty tacky. 
So, I ordered the Navy pair. Though Grey is also gorgeous and Plum is bordering on 'can-you-pull-it-off?'. 

L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani 

Wedge Platform Pump

List Price: $275
Amazon: $189.99 - $200







Note: credit card, Love-Hate relationship. Not Healthy.

Alice in Wonderland

This specific blogs objective (engagement pictures inspiration) is a little odd, but the content is classic. I'm not sure if these are actually engagement pictures, but I can definitely feel the inspiration.
I know that you know that fashion is my everything, well it's fantastic to say the least, but I'm torn. Copy the outfit or the cookies first?





I think these two can be the Lovers of this post.

love,

Things that Sparkle

I recently found frockshop.com.au, whilst looking for a decent Australian eBoutique. I will admit, most of my purchases have to be shipped all the way from the US, they have an amazing online community over there, but I wanted to branch out a bit and see if I could find some pretty pieces close to home. Though most of the price tags on this site are a little steep for my wallet, my eye got caught on Alice and Olivia.
