Heels take any outfit I wear to a whole different level. Heels literally elongate my legs and position my body in a way that makes my outfit look entirely different. I wore this Butterfly silk dress by Naven to a baby shower, with a floppy hat and some sandals and it seemed very appropriate. My Mother said she loves the ventilation on the dress. Lol. However, I wore this same dress to a weekend family BBQ and the heels made me feel like I was too dressy. Oh well, I don't get to dress up as much as I once did. So Heels to a BBQ it is. The thing about heels, is they have to be the right ones. Sometimes an outfit calls for an elaborate heel and other times a simple sexy shoe will accent a particular outfit perfectly. One thing I personally will never do is wear a Kitten Heel. No. No.No. It's either sky high, and I mean so high, I have to bend over to kiss my mamasita goodbye, high or flat as a chola's hair after a hot shower. Another must have for me this summer are my glasses pictured here. I love my Carrera glasses so much, I won them in blog Give away for Karlascloset.com. They're literally the best glasses I've ever worn thus far. The Cobalt blue is the best part, they add color to anything I'm wearing and they never clash!

Lady Like Leather Skirt

 

I know, I know....Vintage again. I have been on a mission to collect vintage graphic and band t-shirts, basically anything I can get my hands on. I can't afford a $200 + skirt. So, I found this $5 skirt at a thrift and had it altered. I'm honestly a bitch on a budget. I wish I could spend hundreds of dollars on a skirt or a shirt or even buy the $600 dollar pair of shoes I really want. I think I'll continue to elaborate on how I find an item and change it up to fit what I'm looking for in an outfit. I don't only stick to vintage, I'll often find last years Zara's jacket at a thrift and sport the Sh*** out of it.  It's rediscovered and I love that.  I hope you all have a great week.

Just A Little Longer

I actually got dressed for a friend's party, but found out I had the wrong date for the event. Lucky me. I decided to just hangout with my guy instead. I found this dress on Ebay, the seller is American Archive and I haunt their merchandise to no end. You can find their link here: http://stores.ebay.com/american-archive. I'm obsessed with vintage, I know. My all time favorite vintage brand is Gunne Sax. I love the lace up front and the fabric. I can't get enough of these denim vests! The longer the better!

Tuxie Kinda of Day

 

My boyfriend and I go to Tuxies at least once a week to pick up one of their signature Tuxies, which is basically a raspado that had a baby with an luxurious ice cream sundae or a chabalita, which is also a raspado with fruit and chili. It's amazing. I have ventured to other Mexican spots and still have not found anything like this place. A religious trip to Riverside never hurt anyone.

 

 

 

 I wore this outfit to one of my boyfriend's family parties, he has a huge family so we literally attend some sort of family function almost every weekend, and half way through the party; I realized this outfit may not have been appropriate to wear, as the skirt is very short. I had shorts under, as I do with most my dresses, but apparently my assets were still on display because his female cousins mentioned it later on. I thought it was kind of funny, but I still invested in better fitting shorts. I'm going to try to be more religious about my posts, perhaps as religious as my Tuxie trips?

MODERN VINTAGE IN MAY

My boyfriend took me out for an amazing day in Los Angeles. He brought me to one of my favorite places and told me to choose any outfit I wanted. Well, any outfit with his approval of course. Boys/men are not allowed in Shareens, so he spent a good hour and a half waiting for me. Poor guy.  The staff took this picture of me in the Shareen Again Halter Top and posted it on their facebook site. I love how feminine I feel in this dress. I couldn't help but pair it with my Sky High Dolce Vita Chunky Heels. I didn't add to many accessories as it's blazing hot here is sunny Southern California and less is more at this point.

VINTAGE NEW YEARS

I love this Vintage dress. I got it a few years ago from a swapmeet I frequent for only $3. I love the large fringe pieces at the bottom of the dress. I always seem to pair sequins with silver. I'm in love with small purses lately. Larger purses seem to act as storage, so this little chain purse from Zara is perfect for me. This is a great dress for New Years, but I honestly plan to stay at home in my PJs and have a glass of wine with my boyfriend. No crazy party for me. :)

TRUCK STOP

I had planned to have my lovely friend Carlos Q, photograph me elsewhere but it has been crazy chilly here in California. I wanted to stay close to home, so he shot me at a semi abandoned truck stop. We were critiqued my a toothless truck driving woman. I kept my accessories to a minimum with this outfit. Usually I adorn my silver rings and bracelets with gray, but I already had a hat and chained purse and I didn't want to do too much. I love the hat. It makes almost any of my outfits complete.
