Christmas-ing

I am here at my parents house in Bakersfield for the holidays.  The weather has been beautiful!  No Christmas snow, but an abundance of wind, rain, and cloudy blue skies.

 

Every item of clothing and accessory in this outfit belongs to my sister Melanie, except for the Christmas garland headband that Vanessa from Veechay.com so graciously sent me.  As I opened the box it arrived in and peered inside I was overcome with excitement and Christmas spirit!

{Wearing: Veechay Christmas headband, Target bauble necklace, bebe sample sale cardigan top, Mary Kate and Ashley skirt(don't laugh), vintage chain necklace(worn as bracelet)}

Cookies Please

I attended a service auction this weekend and being that it was a classy event, the guests were dressed very well.  I was most pleased to show off my new(to me) velvet pill-box hat that a friend in my speech class gave to me(how thoughtful).  

My contribution to the auction was a plate of homemade oatmeal, chocolate chip, flax seed cookies...quite delicious. 

{Visibly Wearing: unknown vintage pill-box hat, bebe earings, Betsy Johnson coat.}

Escape #2

The first outfit I ever posted on this blog was shot on the fire escape outside my apartment.  These photos were taken on another fire escape in my building that I had never explored before...until today.  After crawling out the window, I noticed that the apartment next door to me has a mini backyard.  Jealous!

{Wearing: bebe sunglasses, thrifted top, thrifted gold leaf necklace, Crystal Candy skirt, vintage clutch, and Seventeen Miles shoes.} 

{You can't see it in this picture, but on a clear day, the Hollywood sign can be seen from this angle.}

Halloween Horror

I went to a Halloween party and few of my friends recognized me because I looked so creepy...consequently not a lot of socializing went on.  I resorted to hiding in, and then stumbling out of closets hoping to make someone jump. 

{I had this dress prior to deciding that I would use it as part of my costume but haven't worn it.  I'm thinking about hemming it.  Ideas?}

{I'm a zombie pioneer in case you couldn't figure it out.}

P.S. If you want to see a better photo of the zombies framed next to me, look here.
