Lola Rocks The Velvet

Hello again!

After a two month absence, I'm back! Fall has been insane for us: we've been trying to buy a home, keep up with businesses, fam and friends, and blogging definitely fell to the back burner. But...I wanted to share some of the awesome velvet looks we have in our store, Lola Rocks Clothing.

I fell in love with these velvet dresses when they arrived. They are multi size, regal, and comfortable.

These leggings have been selling incredibly well, Probably because they are a nice fit, and only $12 shipped in the US.

I'm in love with these plus size velvet mini dresses.

I'll be back soon with a bit of rambling about my love of floral dresses.

Crazy Cat Lady Dress

Hi Again!

Happy first day of October! I hope your Monday is treating you well.

Last Saturday, Sophie, Aron, my mom, and me visited the Riverside Arts Market in Jacksonville. It was a rad market full of art, food trucks, and produce. I wanted to wear the dress that my store, Lola Rocks Clothing, received from Sourpuss this week. I'm usually not one for light pastels, but this dress is covered in vintage style kitty illustrations. Yes, guys, a dress covered in adorable kitties. How could I resist?

My beautiful little Sophie wanted to get in on the picture taking. 

The market is open every Saturday, and is located under the Fuller Warren Bridge. At first thought, it seemed like an odd location. But, it keeps you mostly out of the blazing Florida sun, so it works for me. 

We walked around, had lunch, and Aron hunted for jam and bread to take home. We were all pretty overheated by the end of the trip (it was in the 90s that day), but it was fun nonetheless. Sophie had a blast, because we bought her a bubble gum flavored SnowBall.

These two cuties

I almost forgot to share a picture of the kitty that has made me a Crazy Cat Lady, yet again. Her name is Shadow, or Shadow Buns, as I like to call her. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hey, Hey, Hey...I'm Old

Hi Again!

I'm back sooner than I anticipated.....I guess I'm on a roll of some sort(?).

Today is my birthday, dudes. It started out as a good day; sushi buffet lunch with my Mom and Sophie (Aron had a convention in Orlando he had to vend). My Mom had been thinking about getting a parakeet, so we stopped by PetSmart on the way home from lunch. I should have known that taking my preschooler into a pet store after a long lunch was a bad idea, but I ignored my instincts and went for it. We obtained a parakeet, but only after 4 mini meltdowns and loss of patience on my part. Hey, at least the meltdowns were minis. Dinner was chicken nuggets and burned cookies.It wasn't my finest day as a mom, or a human, but Sophie went to bed full and happy, so that is a win. 

But hey, the day started off on a rad note. Before we left for my Mom's, I took a few photos in my new Torrid dress. it's a midi dress, and has quite a bit of fabric to it. But, I ended up liking it more than I thought I would. It has a nice romantic feel.

My sweet Sophie joined me for pics as well. I'm not sure why these turned out so blurry. 

Thanks for stopping by :)

A Return To Fashion Nuggets

Hello Again!

Well it's been quite a while before I shared any Fashion Nuggets on my blog! Like most former bloggers, I was Instagraming any outfit I wanted to share, at least until today...

After I purchased an iPhone tripod with remote last month, I began to think about blogging again. I took some awkward photos underneath our nude mermaid artwork. See below for a giggle...

 Boobs? I don't see any boobs.

Oh yea, there they are. Right above my head. I've since found a better place to take outfit photos. 

Dress: Old Navy

Belt: Torrid (sold out, link to similar)

Fluorite Necklace: Etsy 

With this Old Navy Dress, I found that the standard sizing in an XXL fit me better than the same dress in their plus size line. They were very bulky and had too much fabric for my taste. 

When Sophie and Aron got home, I asked if we could subject them to a round of family photos with my fancy new tripod. Here are some results, heeee. 

I hope the (maybe) 2 people reading this have a rad weekend. I'll be back with another post on Monday.

 Oh yea,and in case you'd like to see my Instagram, here are the links:

Summer

Hello again!

I'll be honest, I'm not really much of a Summer person. I adore Spring, and early Summer is nice, but by the time mid-July sets in, I am done. Needless to say, I'm pretty thrilled that today is the first day of September!

But, I wanted to share (or document, since no one is likely reading this blog), some of our late Spring and Summer adventures.

In May, I attended Nashville Boogie with Sophie, Aron, and Amber. Nashville Boogie is a rad annual rockabilly weekender. I attended briefly last year and had a blast!

First day, I wore my Voodoo Vixen dress and attempted my first wet set. 

Winkles was into the crinoline.

I met the lovely and sweet Sabina Kelly.

Saw some sweet rides.

Aron, Sophie, Amber and I headed for for day 2 on Saturday.

Sophie boogying.

Me and the lovely Taylor Nicole.

Me and Daisy Delane's sweet Edsel.

Trying to get a family pic LOL.

Boogie was a rad time! I bought too much stuff, saw the pinup contest, and heard some great music!

We made a trip to FL around the 4th of July. You can cut the humid Florida air like butter, but it is worth it to see everyone. And I love the ocean.

We visited Shawna, Misti, and Chris and I showed them the joys of Snapchat.

Little Baby Angels.

Beach time.

Grandma time

Oh yes, Sophie also started dance class! My tiny dance just loves it. 

And...I'm officially obsessed with Twin Peals the Return. 

Happy Almost Fall!

I'm Still Here

Hello Again!

It's a been a year and a half since I posted on What Lola Wants (I am still pretty active on Instagram). Is blogging dead? Probably. Do I care? Not really. I miss sharing my fashion and life nuggets, so here I am. Will it be another year and a half before I post again? I hope not!

My Sophie is 3 years old! How in the world did that happen?

We are on Spring break this week. Springtime in Tennessee is lovely, everything is in bloom.

Taking my Threenager to the playground. No photos, please!

I actually took outfit photos with my tripod! Who am I?

Sweater: MAK cardi Lola Rocks Clothing

Mickey print dress: Torrid

Leggings: Old F21 Plus

Shoes: DSW

I have a few more posts in mind, so I'll be back in the next few days! Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Yep, it's me again.

I doubt anyone out there is still reading this little blog o' mine, but the desire to blog has been strong as of late. It's almost as strong as when I first started What Lola Wants, when blogging was FUN. So I figure, maybe I'll give this another go!

First up, my Little Pumpkin. Sophie is now almost 19 months old...what? Wait, how did that happen? I blink and she's rolling over, blink again and she's crawling, then sitting up, and now walking..well running actually.

Here are some pics from her first birthday way back in January...

In March, Sophie started a Mother's Day Out program that we all loved. Twice a week I would drop her off in the morning and come back and get her in the early afternoon. My heart broke as she cried, but I knew it was good for her to socialize, and for me to have a bit of time to work and have some "me" time.

Sophie is growing up to be a smart, strong, beautiful little toddler. She loves being outside, bananas, and our kitty, Sebastian. She can be a Tiny Terror at times, but she really is an amazing little girl.

Speaking of amazing, can I brag for a moment on what a great Dad Aron is? He is patient, loving, and so much fun. Sophie truly is Dada's girl. 

We had some family photos taken this May. I won't bore you with a billion of them, I'll just share my faves...

 I've spent all Summer with Sophie, which is awesome, and exhausting. I haven't had much time for fashion, books, or me in general. I did manage to sneak away for a few lunches girl's nights with my buddies :)

I've been on a kimono kick lately. It seems that, right before Fall arrives, I'm enamoured with boho or witchy looks. I like taking a break from my 40s/50's inspired retro looks. 

Hopefully, my future outfit photos will be a bit nicer than a bathroom mirror selfie, with bras hanging on the doorknob!

I think my next blog will be entertainment based. I've watched some amazing movies and TV shows lately (Kimmy Schmidt, yea!). I leave you with an image from last years Dragon Con preparation. We are working on this day and night. Actually, I should go do that now! 

Thank you for stopping by!
