So, remember that Christmas party I told you guys about where I'd kind of decided to recreate a look from my New Year's Party Lookbook? Well, I didn't have all the ingredients needed to recreate my fav look, so I   just went with this sans the jacket.  Yeah, that's about it. I've got a bottle glass of wine calling my name, so ciao!

That Shit's Dope II: Gold Edition

Tumblr Wednesday

All images taken from That Shit's Dope

I've really been having a gold fetish lately, gold chains, gold watches, gold trimmed shoes, gold sneakers.I want it all. I'm sure my gold lust has nothing to do with my having watched  one of my new fashion icons, Asap Rocky's, Goldie only about a million times; the fact that the precious metal is flashed profusely throughout the video probably has also not had any influence on my sudden lust for gold.. Nah. Can't be it. Unfortunately, my pockets aren't never ending, so I satiate my thirst through Tumblr.  Enjoy!

Good Luck/ Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas/Happy Kwanza/Happy Hanukkah

Pants-borrowed/Sweatshirt-thrifted DIY

Sooo, technically (imagine finger quotes in the air) I don't celebrate Christmas i.e. I'm an atheist, and I don't have belief in the meaning behind Christmas. However, I've got no qualms about receiving/giving gifts, and the hubs and son celebrate Christmas, and I must confess, I actually like decorating for them around the holidays...though, I'm sure my desire for decorating is owed more to me being creative than religious. So, whether you do or don't celebrate Christmas, or whether you do or don't recognize another holiday, I just wanna say good luck...good going that you survived the Apocalypse/end of the world, and good luck on being what you want to be and doing what you want to do in 2013! 

Me? I'm lounging around in the hub's pajamas and my favorite sweatshirt, catching some 'me' time while the kid is down for a nap. In a few hours, I'm off to a a hubby's friend's Christmas party. (Say that shit 3x fast.)

CLASSY BITCHES DO IT BEST

I decided to put together some looks suitable for a New Year's Party. Obviously, we know how broke I am, but..'if I were a rich girl na na na na na na na na na na na....then I'd have all the money in the world' and I'd definitely wear one of these looks. I am going to a friend's Christmas party, so maybe I can recreate one of these-really digging the 'classy bitches do it best' look.  Hmmm...guess we'll have to see.

A Girl Can Dream II: WAISTE Winter Lookbook 2012

Pics taken from WAISTE

I know it may seem like I've been having some sort of weird lookbook fetish judging from the rate at which I've been posting them, but, I love lookbooks. To me they're only second to sitting at a runway show and seeing clothing lines in person. This Winter lookbook by WAISTE  is the shit, though. I mean the denim jacket with the fur capped shoulders is the epitome of 'classy bitchiness'. Ha. I wish I owned all of this shit. Check out the entire lookbook here.
