Friday Fashion Tip: Go Shopping

That's right.

You heard me.

Go shopping.

Go shopping and buy yourself a motorcycle jacket.  Go faux (or as the cool kids call it: VEGAN leather) and instantly update your fall wardrobe for $150 or less.  I actually just got a really cute burgundy one at Forever 21 for $25.  They have a really great selections for under $50 - check them out (after you finish reading this post of course...)

Moto jackets so versatile, you can pair them with almost ANYTHING in your wardrobe; from skinny jeans and sweaters, to sundresses, skirts, leggings, and more.  You won't believe what an impact one piece of clothing can have on your wardrobe.

Here are a few ways I've worn mine in the last year:

Throw Back Thursday - Some Things Never Change

I needed a mental break, so I started going through some old photos.  For some reason that always seems to cheer me up and make me smile.  Maybe it's taking solace in the fact that I will never allow my eyebrows look like this ever again:

Yowzah!

But mostly it's remembering all the good times I had with some of the best friends a girl could ask for...

It's also fun to see how some things never change.

Like how I pose in photos...

Ah the "Leg Pop"
Making legs look skinny since 1999

Flower City Fashionista circa 1985
Loved the camera even then...

What helps you clear your head when you've had a crazy day?  Share your wisdom below.

Love ya like I love nostalgia, a good leg pop and a cheesy grin ;)

Wednesday Wrap Up

Hey!  It's me.  We're up and running again over here.

The geniuses at Apple have fixed my computer.  Apparently a plugin was jacking up my whole system.  Never saw that one coming...  What can I say, you live, you learn...

Anywho, I can type again soooo...

Let me get you caught up on my life...

I may or may not have jammed, sprained, and/or destroyed my middle finger on my right hand.  It's twice the size it used to be, which is a bummer because that's my artwark coil ring finger.  (Let's just say that shiz isn't fitting on there any time soon.)  Oh and it hurts like a biatch, which makes simple things like typing and taking care of my children way less pleasant, which is a bummer because those are the only two things I do...

In other news, I had non-traumatic Rochester haircut on Saturday.  First one in 4 (count them 4) years. If you're local, I highly recommend Mandy at Shear Ego.  She rocked my socks off.  As opposed to these infamous hack jobs. 

Mandy Rocks.
Peace signs make you look cooler.

What else?  What else?

Since I couldn't use my computer, I did what any other hot-blooded fashion blogger would do:  I shopped.  And then I planned my entire wardrobe for a conference I am attending in 3 (count them 3) weeks.  Bring it on LuckyFABB - this girl is ready!

Bam!
I call it Anthropologie meets Forever21, because that's exactly what it is... ha!

Last, but certainly not least, I'm super-excited to be participating in Hilary Rushford's #StyleMeOctober Challenge.  Nothing like free style inspiration all month long.  I highly recommend this, girls.  It's not too late to hop on board, be inspired, look at your wardrobe with new eyes, and a start to love what's already hanging in your closet.  Do it!

Here's how my "styled" October is shaping up thus far:

What have you been up to?  Tell me everything!
