The Sun is Smiling

IMG_4120 IMG_4125 IMG_4138IMG_4131

Spent some time with the little brother today, took a walk and ate at Mickie D’s…J has been working on his roof top deck outside his room all day…we met up later for a break and went to grab some coffee and just relax a little bit in the park…

I don’t know if you can really tell but I painted my nails this crazy blue colour…still debating over whether I like it or not … brought out the red lips (Wet n’ Wild and Rimmel make my favourite reds)… You will probably be seeing a lot more red lips because when I love something, I will tend to over do it for a little while (just look at how many times I have work my studded Zara’s ….haha). I am also back into my extensions because of course, my hair is growing at an extremely glacial pace..I wish I had miracle seeds for my scalp to make it grow quicker :P… I still have not had the time to make new ones (longer and blonder) but as promised, when I do, I will post a little tutorial…

The shoes Docs were thrifted just yesterday and let me tell you how ecstatic I was! I have been surfing online for a used pair for ever and found this perfect pair for $7…technically it was all thanks to J ….I had to return a shirt I had bought him at Value Village that he hated and had to pick out something because they don't do refunds…well I found these baby's…and just in time for fall!

Bodysuit: American Apparel , Jeans: Thrifted (Hollister- they fit amazing), Belt: Vintage, Bag: Vintage Gucci, Boots: Thrifted, Hat and Bracelet: Thrifted, Rings: Grandmothers gifted to me

Lions, Tigers and Fashion OH MY! said...

my jeans...I just slashed them with a knife, usually I just scrape the knife against the grain to get the distressed look with out holes. For these I wanted a lot of cuts in these so I just went crazy with the knife and cut them ;) I have only washed them once.

Luna Supernova said...

Wot a load of crap. I just got an award for being a very good fashionable blogger, better than you hahahaha. Blue nails are so last trapped in the car door look, you know nothing. BTW I have found a way to by pass the logo so you can't stop me anymore hahahaha

Ashleigh said...

WJ- Thanks!

Christen and Veggiegirl- Im slowly warming up to the colour :P

Lions, Tigers and Fashion Oh My- Thanks girlie...I was using an exacto knife and cheese grater- will try your method next time =)

NatandPina- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails.. ;)

Isabel- I know, sometimes the VVs I go to mark up like crazy. I hate when they price knock off bags at a crazy price, because some people get duped into thinking theyre real.

Ashleigh 5:57 - wow you are truly one BIG loser. you really need to evaluate your life and realize how pathetic you are.

stylista said...

Wanderlusting said...

One of my fav outfits on you so far! Seriously, the sunshine, the white top, the boots and jeans, the hat - it all totally works!

I scored a pair of doc martens from my friend and I do think they used to be MY doc martens back in the day - I had many many pairs I wore from 1992-1997 :) YEP just aged myself!
