payless, get more.

jacket: forever 21, dress: i heart ronson jcpenney, socks: forever 21, ring: forever 21, bracelet: target, tights: mom's drawer, boots: payless, beanie: target

So I wore this waaaaaaaaay back in December and never posted it. I'm possibly the worst blogger in the world. Anyway the payless boots were a steal. I bought them because they were $16, but mainly because they have a similar shape to the LD Tuttle boots. I've picked up quite a few steals from Payless. I've snagged these two pairs of the Patricia Fields Fall 08 collection for about $17 each:


I'm thinking about prying the studs off. I think the shoes have enough going on with the strap in the back and the studs make it look a little bit over the top.

Sorry for the poor lighting! I'm prolly gonna have to take it outside next time.

longing for summer

A New Classic.

outfit post coming...

This was an outtake. I thought I had the self timer on, but I like the outcome none the less. Off to work!

Rihanna x Jeezy "Hard"

I didn't like the song at first, but it quickly grew on me. Thanks to my music guru friend Jason who made me give it another listen!

The first photo didn't make the paper but I like it so I decided to post it!
You can read the article here. I recently did a mini photo shoot for a group of recycling enthusiasts called the Common Thread 3. They use vintage and discarded clothing, jewelry, and purses and rework them into amazing pieces and I was lucky enough to show them off here in the shoot and for their showing Derelique2Chic at the openeing of a new art gallery/workspace in Lafayette called The Alamo.


'Scuse the eyes! I blinked! This modeling thing still makes me nervous. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing...ALL THE TIME! It's kind of funny. Now that I think about it, I'm kind of a freelance model.


Another of Suzanne's great designs: an outfit made of recycled brassieres and upholstery fabric

I'm wearing a double scoop neck bodycon dress and earrings from Target, vintage brooch, a braclet from Africa (my dad said it's from there...africa...a place he's never been but somehow got jewelry from...=P ), fringe ankle boots (aka the infamous Alexander Wang knockoffs/my favorite and most comfortable shoes in the whole wide world) from Forever 21, bowtie from Hobby Lobby

I've never been to an art gallery let alone to an opening of one. It was a really great experience. Sometimes I forget I'm an adult. I keep having these "Oh, I can do that now!" moments. For example, they served wine at the opening and I re-realized "Hey! I can sip wine at swanky parties!" I took a sip and remembered that I don't really like wine. I want to, but it just doesn't sit right with me. Maybe if I try different ones until I find the one I like... Anyway, I met a bunch of really interesting and talented people. Thank God I didn't have to do it by myself. My hunny-bunny/main squeeze Devon was right by my side!


cute right!? =) I think I've found me a photographer now! We took these pics outside his apartment. I like my candid photos more than the staged ones. Candids reflect me better. I feel really stale in staged ones. I tried getting the red eye out but the editing program I used made me look like I had a wonky eye!





Now that I have a photographer, hopefully this will lead to more outfit posts! I know this one is long but I felt like it was overdue. Thanks for reading this ridiculously long post! And thanks to my followers!
