My First Vlog: Spring/Summer 2013 Plus Size Fashion Haul

Hello Again!

I made my first vlog, y'all! Here is a brief Spring/Summer Fashion Haul by yours truly. 

Vloging is not an easy task! How do You Tube Bloggers do this on a daily, weekly, even monthly basis?  I found myself tripping over my words, making strange faces, and wanting to set my tripod on fire. That said, I have a few more vloging ideas, so perhaps I will eventually get the hang of it! Subscribe to my You Tube channel here.

Let me know what ya think! Feedback is always appreciated.

Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival 2013

Hello Again,

We had a fantastic time vending at the Full Moon Tattoo and Horror Festival in Nashville! I am very late with this post, since the convention took place over a month ago!

 I wore my favorite pinup style dress for the festival.

Dress: Forever 21+ (sold out)

Jacket: Deb Shops

Hair Flower: Lola's Lovelies

Shoes: Ross (old)

Unfortunately, most of my photos from the festival are of the shitty iPhone quality. 

Here is Aron putting the finishing touches on our booth.

Some Lola-Rocks goodies

The show was extremely busy this year. One of the special guests was Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl on The Walking Dead. Mr. Reedus signed autographs from morning until night, and I hear he was very nice to all of his fans. 

One of my favorite parts of the show is checking out everyone's awesome tattoos. Here are a few of my favorites.

Hello Kitty Sugar Skull Art 

This awesome Buddy Holly/50s piece

These cool Jhonen Vasquez pieces

 Beatlejuice

Adventure Time!

It was a great time, and a great convention. See y'all next year!

Bow-nanza

Hello Again!

How's that for a cheesy post title? Haaaaaa!

I am in love with this bow print dress I snagged from Forever 21+! I went matchy-matchy with this getup: Bow print dress, bow bracelet, and bow shoes. Oh, and I matched my coral shrug with some coral lippies. I have issues.

I sported this look to our first day vending at the Full Moon Horror and Tattoo Festival in Nashville. It was a fun show, much more about that in my next post!

Dress: Forever 21+

Shrug: Deb Shops
Leggings: Forever 21+(old)

Bean Necklace: Tiffany's (gift from Aron)

Happy Spring!

Hello Again!

We just returned from selling our wares at MegaCon in Orlando, and are beyond exhausted. Not to mention I have roughly 50 boxes of funny books to inventory! But, I couldn't resist wishing you all a Happy Spring!

How many of you are excited for the change of season? Spring is my favorite of all the seasons, it brings me such a feeling of peace and renewal.

Spring is also my favorite season to shop for. I love the possibility of ditching my boots and tights for bare legs and flats (though it is still pretty chilly here in Tennessee).I gravitate towards more fun, colorful items in the warmer months.

I wanted to share some items on my Spring wish list. As usual, I am obsessed with polka dots and retro style :)

Here are a few of my favorite dresses:

1) Torrid Stop Staring Billion Dollar Baby Dress

2) Pinup Girl Clothing Heidi Dress

3) ASOS Curve Skater Dress

Here are a few of my fave seperates: 

1) Forever 21+ Polka Dot Skinnies

2) Sourpuss Sinking Ship Tee

3) Torrid Striped Belted Pencil Skirt

Here are a few of my favorite accessories:

1)  Modcloth Lace Flat

2) Vintage Pink Cats Eye Glasses

3) Fred Flare Key to My Heart Necklace Set

4) Lux de Ville Purse

Stop by next week, and I will share all of the fun MegaCon 2013 geekery with you!

Happy Spring Equinox!

Ikea Adventure

Hello Again!

A few weeks ago, Aron and I took a trip to the Ikea in Atlanta, Georgia to pick up some much needed office and living room furniture. When will Nashville have it's own Ikea? That is the eternal question....

I wanted to be comfortable, yet cute, so I wore my City Chic High-low dress, cardigan, and Forever 21+ leggings.

As you can see, the weather did not want to cooperate with photo taking. It was damp, miserable, flat hair day. I don't love these photos, but it is what it is.

 

Dress & Cardigan: City Chic

Leggings: Forever 21+

Shoes: Me Too (old)

 

We got a late start, and arrived at Ikea around 3. We decided to eat first (yay for Swedish Meatballs!), and then do some shopping. I ran into my dream kitchen on the way to look at shelving.

It was a successful trip! We managed to stuff 2 new bookshelves, a glass display cabinet, a side table, a desk, and 2 new organizational shelves/drawers into our Pathfinder! Aron has mad packing skills.

  

Thanks for stopping by!

Uber Femme

Hello Again!
 
I haven't been blogging much as of late. One of my New Years resolutions is to relax, and if keeping up with a blogging schedule is stressing me out, then what is the point of blogging at all? I have decided to blog roughly once or twice a week, but if it doesn't happen, it's no biggie.

Moving on....I wore this City Chic dress out one Saturday to run errands. I've been feeling "bleh" lately. I believe it has something to do with the gray winter weather. It was sunny the day I wore this outfit, and it perked me up considerably. I love the ulIta feminine bird print and tiered ruffles of this dress. It also comes with a pink bow belt, but I felt that was pushing it. 

It was warm enough to go sans coat when these photos were taken, but it has cooled down considerably since then. I am already daydreaming of Spring....

Dress: City Chic

Shrug: Ebay

Leggings: Forever 21 +

Bow Flats: Target

Necklace: Gift from Misti

I hope Winter is treating you right!

By Golly, I Have A "Real" Camera!

Hey Guys!
 
I finally did it, I purchased a "real" camera! Well, my husband Aron actually purchased it for me, as a late birthday gift. No more fuzzy iPhone outfit photos, woo hoooo! I've been researching cameras online for quite a  while now (3 long years), and I think the Olympus E-PL1 was the perfect choice for me :)

Though I have a snazzy new camera, awkward arm is still awkward. I'll work on that.

 Dress: Torrid

Leggings: Forever 21 Plus

Bag: Big Buddha

Shoes: Target (old)

Snglasses: Target (old)

Necklace: Gift from Aron

 

Aron snapped these photos one Saturday afternoon before our Panera run. I love their broccoli cheese soup!

 

Aron grabbed one of these yummy pecan buns. I was super jealous, so I nabbed a bite. Or two.

 

Don't forget to enter our Urban Decay Vegan Palette Giveaway!

 

Have a good one!

Fashion Nugget: My Feathery Friend

Hello Again!

I asked Aron to snap some photos of the outfit I wore to the RAW Art Gallery Event. I truly love my Forever 21+ peacock feather print dress. It does fit a bit oddly in the arms, but it is still one of my faves.

Dress: Forever 21+

Leggings: Mossimo

Booties: BCBG

Clutch: Matt and Nat

Sebastian likes to sneak outside and eat grass when he thinks we aren't looking.

I'm a dork.

Have a good one!

Hoodie Weather

Hello Again!

How many if you are loving this Fall weather? Last weekend was a bit chilly, so I took the opportunity to wear my new Torrid hoodie. I'm not much of a jeans kind of girl, but I love these F21 skinnies I snagged for only $13.40! Sometimes, you have to keep it casual and cozy. I sported this look the Sunday of the Nashville Comic and Horror Convention.

Hoodie: Torrid

Jeans: Forever 21 Plus

Shoes: Target (old)

Bag: Betsey Johnson

Here are some snapshots from the con. It was a laid back show, and, as always, we had a great time vending next to our friends at World of Strange. Here is a view of the convention from our booth:

Steph stopped by and bought one of our octopus necklaces. It looks great on her! (as does her World of Strange tee).

I love this ladies sick costume.

Iron Man paid the con a visit.

He was on stilts, so he needed a handler.

Ben shared some if his rad cream soda.   

 

Have a good one!

Annie's Visit Part Two

Hello Again!

Here are some more nuggets from Annie's visit to Tennessee!

We headed up to Nashville Sunday afternoon and walking Broadway and 2nd Ave.

Me and The King. I love my apple shirt from Forever 21+!

Hi Mr. Horsey Man!

Such a sad yet sweet story about this doggy.

I have many memories of The Attic (now closed) in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. I found another one in Nashville!

We headed over to the Hard Rock for foodage. I started with a yummy Blues Riff cocktail.

Had to get a burger.

Hole was everything in the 90s

Set list and gold record

The Pumpkins

 

We miss Annie dearly, and it was awesome to see her! We hope to make the trip back home to Florida soon to visit her and all of our friends and family.

 

Have a good one!
