Halloween: SUCKER PUNCH!

Just because it is almost Halloween, I dressed up in one of my 3 costumes for this year. I really loved the sucker punch girls so I put an outfit together that reminds me of that movie. I love Halloween! I never got to dress up when I was younger since we were poor and could not really afford costumes so now I always go all out.

Can't wait for this weekend! What’s your costume going to be?

On me:
Black leather bustier top, $64.95 asos.com
Guess over the knee boots, $125.00 zappos.com
Vintage military cap, Vintage treasures in Panama city FL
Army green Lush plaid skirt, TJMaxx stores
Spike bracelet, $26.00 asos.com
Dog tags from the military

Swag with confidence

It’s been a while since I blogged about clothes.  I have been swamped with homework for my MBA economics class, shopping vintage for my etsy store, being a wifey and a mommy to my puppy Titan. No matter how busy you are, like a friend said you need to “pull out all the stops” when dressing up. The husband and I decided to make some last minute Halloween shopping last night. I have been wanting to wear this vintage blazer I found a while back and my very red Victoria heels. I was rushed and tt was not the best outfit put together. But I strut around in it with swag.
 My word of advice, if you walk with confidence and act like the outfit is supposed to look like that, people will believe that it is. Confidence is the key. I got compliments for my cute outfit even though I know I really didn’t match. Lol.

On me:
Vintage exaggerated chiffon collar blazer, uniquethriftstore.com
Ghost buster tank tee, $14.95 forever21.com
Lambskin quilted Chanel, $2975.00 Chanel.com

hello fall... I have been waiting for you


Fall is finally here.. the rustic leaves are everywhere and the weather is now cooler. I  am excited. I wore this dress today to go to the pumpkin patch.  It will be our first year to go to the pumpkin patch with Titan. However when we got there, dogs were not allowed so we just ended up going to a farmer’s market to get pumpkins. I am sooooo into asymmetrical dresses so when I saw this on sale at asos.com I had to get it. I also just got my black trilby hat today from shopnastygal.com and I wanted to rock. Hope you all have a nice weekend fashion lovers!

Current obsession: Two in One

My current fashion obsession is a two in one bag-a messenger and a clutch at the same time. I love the versatility of this kind of bag. It can be used during the day as a messenger bag while you stroll in your downtown city area, shopping and dining.  At night, the straps can come of to use it as clutch to pair with your sexy outfit for a night out in town with your friends. It’s a bag worth having in your collection. Below are my recent two in one purses.

from top to bottom:
Tory Burch City Messenger bag in Navy, $395.00 Nordstrom.com
Aldo Gybrel Leopard clutch bag, $35.00 Aldo.com

Messenger bag during the day...

A cute clutch during the night....

Leather.Mustard.Leopard

I went to Dallas Texas to see a long lost friend from Guam. It was a trip of party, shopping, dining and more partying. One of those days, we decided to go have Pho for lunch, Boba drinks for refreshments and vintage shopping. It was a day full of fun with two beautiful ladies. I have yet to wear my leopard wedges so I brought it with me and decided to pair with leather shorts and mustard sheer chiffon top. I love the retro look right now and this was a great combination for this look.
