Burgundy to the Max







Outfit Details
Top: Small Boutique in Las Vegas
Maxi Skirt: Marshalls
Heels: Marshalls
Bracelet: LuxeCraving

Last week while shooting an impromptu photo shoot with the amazing team at Haute Shots and Hera Beauty,I got to squeeze in some outfit posts...With the Hurricane, the election...and so many heavy things on my mind...THIS was my perfect escape. While my hubby has been doing an amazing job..working with Stacie has been such a great experience. She blogged about it here. 

Funny we both feel the same way about the experience. She teaches me a lot about light and angles...Mixed in with my own insecurities...often the angles I thought were not my best turn out to be some of the best photos...I am learning to appreciate all my angles if that makes sense...that's what blogging and taking pictures does I guess. And the creativity...everyone time we all share our ideas I get this rush inside me...its incredible...I am so grateful for this whole experience...makes all of the heavy stuff disappear for a brief second. and I get to WEAR all of my finds...

I know there are many ways to donate money and your time...Keiko Lynn wrote a great post and lends some insight on who to give to here, if anyone is looking.

Get Tall

 
 
 
 

Outfit Details
Skinny Jeans: Marshalls
Booties: Marshalls (Retail for $125 I got them for $30!!!)
Bow Tie Necklace: F21
Diomond Bracelet: Luxe Craving
Vintage Gold Watch: Thrifted Savers
Hamsa bracelet: Brandy Mellville
Vintage Polka Dot Top: Thrifted Savers
Coach Bag: Gifted from a good friend...seriously LOVE this bag...

We traveled to Arizona this past weekend for the hubby's little brother's wedding. It was such a beautiful wedding and great weather...I love leaving town sometimes...it just helps you get motivated or at least gives you a small break from the everyday stress...I also like bringing clothes I haven't worn...or shoes that have just been sitting around...I know..it's becoming a common with me...I was feeling a little like a giant in these booties...but man do I love them...I just love seeing everyone's face when I walk in a room wearing these things....they look at my heel...they look at me...then they look at my heel...and then they look at me...YES....I can walk in these...and YES I am aware they are the as tall as my forearm is long...one of these days I won't be able to wear heels like this...so I am making the best of it...red lipstick...heels...and polka dot blouses with bow tie necklaces...

I'm off to make a few phone calls to best friends on the East Coast..I worry about their safety and what is to come with this weather...I felt somewhat sad that I was enjoying the sun rays while many were running for shelter...I send my prayers to all of you who have been affected by the storms...lots of love...

New Boots


 
 
Outfit Details
Sweater: Marshalls
Shorts: Old Navy
Boots: Marshalls  (Got them during this trip)
Necklace:Marilyn Necklace Luxe Craving
Indian Bracelet: Zion
Hamsah: Brandy Melville

I wasn't joking when I said I have been wearing this necklace everyday. I was so excited to be taking pictures with the hubby...he is learning how to use his new lens...he was frustrated that some pics were blurry but I thought they looked great! I have to admit..I did not wear this to work...I wore this outfit on Saturday...it was my first time pairing boots with shorts...it was nearly 80 degrees outside, and these boots have been sitting on my, "I just got these shoes, and I can't wait to wear them"shelf in my bedroom...I was waiting for the weather to be cooler but it is slow...so I wore them...and I kinda like it? I am such a heel lover and when I wear flats I feel short..haha how do you guys wear boots? I am loving all of the boots at Marshalls right now...have you guys gotten any boots for Fall? 

Oh, and on a side note...my sister and I finished our costumes...we are either going to be mistaken for creepy old men...or our actual costume....more hints to come.... for those who are reading...I have a special Giveaway coming for Halloween...so get your thrifted costumes together and be ready for a special Thrifters Anonymous next Monday!!!

Diamonds and Camo

Outfit Details
Camo T-shirt: Old Navy Men's Section
Tuxedo Blazer: NY&Co Thrifted Savers
Pleather Panel Leggings: Marshalls (This Thrifters Anonymous trip)
Heels: Marshalls
Chain Necklace: Thrifted Savers
Diomond Necklace: The Marilyn Luxe Craving 
( I am supposed to wait to wear this for an upcoming shoot, but I can not stop wearing it...with EVERYTHING...LOVE...haha )
White Dog Hair: Belongs to Sophie my white lab...haha

HI! Look I am wearing clothes! yeah...black again...crap..I didn't mean to do that....I was so excited to finally be able to coordinate with my hubby to take some pictures!!! These weeks have been packed...anyway....I told myself that I could get away with a camo t-shirt and pleather paneled leggings to work if I wore diamonds and a tuxedo jacket...haha Somehow no one really said anything...anyway..

Let's talk about this necklace, shall we.....I haven't removed this necklace from my neck since I got it from Selena of Luxe Craving....Not only is she my long lost Sister of thrifting...if you haven't checked out her youtube channel you are missing out...I SWEAR she finds the same stuff I do!!! We would be in serious trouble thrifting together...haha but she has opened a new jewelry store...and I am literally drooling over each piece...I never thought of myself as much of an accessory person...like if I saw a cute necklace or ring I would get it...typically from forever 21..but lately there is something about a substantial statement necklace that just makes me giddy...this piece weighs a little bit and just makes me happy...I am planning on styling it for an upcoming boudoir shoot! 
Anyway..I miss you guys...I miss PE...and I really want to revamp my blog..so any suggestions would be fantastic! 

P.S. Speaking of new blogs, Stacie of Hauteshots boudoir photography started a new blog! Her weekly wrap up has me wondering about this American Horror Story? Do you guys watch it? I also must try the lip tar stuff she is talking about! anyway , check her out HERE!
