Purple Reign

I found this baby at my local thrift store for under $5 (anything over, I obviously deem TOO expensive, see post below).  At that point, its midi length swallowed all 61" of me whole so my first inclination was to chop it off at micro size for clubbing nights and then it dawned on me...let's first get her to an appropriate "church" length before fast forwarding past an entire ensemble opportunity (mainly John and Annie's upcoming engagement party).  One little visit to my tailor et Voila!  Perfectly appropriate number to rock for events where adults and children are heavily present and hopefully appeased.  God forbid a wardrobe malfunction should occur in the house of the Lord (aka Annie's parent's place).  Today, purple princess, tomorrow Going, going, GONE!!! hehe  Note to self:  Never waste a moment for multiple fittings.  I see a gorgeous silk blouson on the horizon.

Thrifted silk dress, Betsey Johnson heels and watch , F21 necklace and rings, Fashion clutch, Gifted Tiffany charm bracelets (love my Skittles!)

Peace. Love. LOL

Happy Memorial Day!

Totally still recovering from quite an eventful weekend that included seeing all my favorite galpals, celebrating Annie and John's engagement extravaganza, a Sunday thrift shopping spree that included most of what you see below ($5 total for sweater and pants SCORE!!!), brunch with one of my besties this morn, and finally my darling Lainey's 30th birthday dinner tonight!!!  Which means I'm off early 'cuz the party don't stop and time waits for no man.  Hope everyone's celebrating a fabulous Memorial Day weekend with food and fun in your freshest, funkiest threads!  See y'all on the flipside mañana!

Thrifted floral sweater, pants, and belt, Aqua Madonna Leather clutch, Diba Platties, Gucci Sunnies, F21 rings/earrings, Burberry Watch

For Betting or Far Worse

The bf has a total addiction to gambling. He'll pretty much bet everything but his left nut just to see who can kick farther, run faster, swim longer, jump higher...Hell he'll even bet whose dog barks louder if that means there's some stake and alcoholic penalty involved. It's his inherent competitive nature that I used to find pretty amusing, up until his drunk ass loss us a game of couple's bowling after having one too many drinks and too too many shots. And like clockwork, payout dinners ensue and I, for one, am no longer amused. Argghhhhh, why must I always carry our team dammit!?!

Winter Kate tunic, Vintage Chanel Mini, Vintage Necklace, Steve Madden Plats

....Oh yeah, I remember, 'cuz dinner and drinks are on him! hehehe...I guess we all win in the end right?...who's complainin'?

Come back tomorrow to see what the Bazaar's been cooking up these days!!!

Emerald City

I'm a total sucker for a shot of bold color anytime, anywhere.  The single most foolproof way to amp up interiors and ensembles is with a nice, clean palette then BAM!!! Bright lights, BIG city.  Currently my favorite go-to green, emerald screams MAHVELOUS while cousin Kelly quietly speaks to spring and Hunter's better left for parks and recreation.  Equal parts glam and gauche, use it sparingly for a touch of class or copiously for all out sass.  Bonus points if you can effortlessly pepper in some pink somewhere...who knew watermelons would dictate the peak of chic?

Happy Hump Day Guys!!!
