Throwback Thursday- This City Never Sleeps.

So this is a shout out to one of my most adored artists. My best friend introduced me to him way back in August, and since then, I have been what I call an "understated fan. " I'm not a follower to his every move and I don't have pictures and scream over every little detail concerning his life because let's be honest here, I find that slightly creepy for me. I much prefer holding it in and admiring why he's actually where he is today. His name? Ed Sheeran. And this is  not even scratching the surface of the major British adoration that has consumed me. We will talk about that later, so back to Ed. His music to me, is poetry with instrumentals. How cliche does that sound, right? But I'm being honest here. He's a legit talented singer/ songwriter who performed hundred of gigs a year to get where he is. He loves what he does and it shows. I admire his humble personality and for staying strong in a world of fakes and image. It make him REAL, and that's what I love about him. His music is also the soundtrack to some of the best memories in my life and continues to be there when new ones are made. So I guess this particular throwback is to the night where me and my best friend actually got to see him live in concert. The title of this post is a lyric to one of his songs, in case you were a tad confused.. Just putting that out there before I forgot. So because I'm a romantic and I cherish the day in which some guy loves me as much as I love them, i'll close with some of my favorite lyrics. "I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet. And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now."

Sassy, SUDSey, and Sensational!

Currently, I have been in the midst of a production- a 60's musical soap opera called SUDS. It has been such a fun filled musical and there are so many inside jokes and moments of pure gut wrenching laughter... Man, you gotta see it. Today we went flash mobbing around town to various local businesses, spreading the word and making people laugh. Golly, it's been a joy to be a part of. 

What a MARVELous day.

In honor of my siblings adoration of superheroes, my sister and I wore our FANtastic superhero tees. Yes, it may have been inspired by the all together amazing Man of Steel movie, but I should have you know that Clark Kent is a DC COMIC character and not part of the MARVEL universe. Aside from rocking our vintage superhero apparel, we jammed in our MSMARVL vehicle. Oh yes, we are hard core fans of superheroes. So smash on. Hahaha. Get it? 

Happy Father's Day.

To start things off, let's give a huge round of applause to all the dads out there. For mine, words cannot even describe how blessed I am to have such a caring man as my "dirty scootie." Inside joke, ladies and gents, I know you all have one. So besides spending the day with my precious dad, we saw the incredible Superman (Clark Kent is just.. lets just take a moment to dwell in the awesomeness that is him.. Sorry, getting distracted), then we went out to sushi where us kids then proceeded to treat Dad to dinner. Hope everyone else had a fantastic day. 

What I wore: Aerie pale pink sunnies, white sheer top (used), Betsey Johnson strapless floral dress (used), vintage necklaces (used), forest green Dooney and Bourke bag (used), and COACH wedges (used)  

Oh beehive..

So it's early Friday morning and I was craving my signature con panna. Basically, what it is, is two shots of straight espresso (doppio), and then a dollop of whipped cream just gracing the top. Sounds delish, don't it? Try one. It's my favorite early morning pick me up. Speaking of morning pick me ups, and then breakfast since I'm kinda on that subject, I felt very Holly Golightly. My beehive 'do is due to a current musical that I'm in and my character Dee Dee requires a " Breakfast at Tiffany's" beehive. I was super excited that it didn't look messy and ratty cause I kind of slept in it. I LOVE it! Geesh, imagine if I had a hair stylist doing my hair every morning...

Throwback Thursday- Sweeeeeet.

Ever get inspired by even the littlest things? I know I do literally all the time, and today my ensemble was inspired by cake pops. Ok, and these are not ordinary ones, but the most scrumptious and delicious ones I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Seriously. And they're homemade too, so even better! 

What I wore: BP sunnies, hot pink Escada Sport top (used), minty Tommy Bahama blouse (used), and Bobeau maxi skirt (used)

Long time, No see.

And so it has come to my attention that I have not posted in many awhile. In fact, it's been about a year. My deepest apologies. I was indeed out of state and whether that was my biggest excuse among others, I am returning and intend to continue recording my discovery in style and my adoration of bargain hunting. I would love to add some pinches of sugar on top of this blog, including my travels, unique finds, and maybe some cheeky things that make me laugh. We'll see.

As far as my pictures, I have made the conversion to an iPhone. My Internet is painstakingly slow where I reside, and so I'm going to experiment with a smartphone and see how that goes. Maybe I'll be more inclined and inspired to post more often as my Internet moves faster than a snail now. These pictures are currently the bi product of my beginnings. Before even starting a blog, I would stand in my room and print old fashioned pictures and put them in a book. Instead of having someone take pictures, I'm going to experiment with taking my own photos just like I started out doing. 

One can imagine that one year abroad and being exposed to big city styles and culture, that I would have a lot to share. That is indeed the case and so aside from posting my usual, I may also do a kind of throw-back Thursday or something like that to share to you what has inspired me.  Again, I do apologize for briefly abandoning my dear blog for so long, but know that I am back for good! Merci. 

What I wore: An American Brand blazer (Goodwill), neon pink necklace (used), Love on a Hanger lace top (used), pink Aerie bustier, Marithe Francois Girbaud denim shorts (Value Village), and teal Converse.
