maybe she's born with it

so, yea, its been about a minute (2 weeks actually) since my last blog post, but we FINALLY got the internet back in order and i have some fresh new content to share with you guys!!  i have been a lover of extensions for some time now.  i think i bought my first pair almost 10 years ago.  always, ALWAYS clip-ins!  i'm not to fond of committing to the upkeep of permanent ones and clip-ins are so easy to change up your look in mere minutes.  this pack from Irresistible Me is seriously so.much.hair i really only need a couple of the rows to achieve a little extra length and a whole lotta volume, but to give you the full effect, i have the entire pack clipped in.  it's crazy how much body they add!  and, as you can see, they really take a not so great hair day to an amazing hair day with just a few clips!!  true story, i clipped them in in the car and pulled them out on the street just so i could get you guys some before and after shots, but seriously, they're just that easy!  have any of you ever tried extensions??  what's your thoughts?  you know i wanna know!!  happy friday babes!!

totally clueless

totally channeling my inner Cher for todays post!  i am a product of the 90's after all and will forever be totally obsessed with all things Clueless!!  platforms and micro minis were all the rave, and the LBD made its fashion debut!  something about the simplicity, is just so retro and chic at the same time.  

i love this dress for all its asymmetrical lines and mesh paneling.  the neckline and criss-cross "spaghetti" straps take me back to freshman year.  sticking with my 90's vibe, i paired it with these platform leopard wedges.  they're so Baby Spice, i cant even!!  i switched out my skinny chains for this thick chain link and wore my everyday bangle/ring sets.  my sunnies actually are from the 90's.  they were my hubs when he was in junior high.  i found them plundering through some old boxes and they were still in the case, not a scratch on them!!  talk about a total score!!

CFW: Night 3 Runway Recap

Night 3 of Charleston Fashion Week full of spring fashions thanks to Belk and Steve Madden

The show was sweet and fun and put everyone in a color-filled state of mind

it went from black + white, to jet setter chic, to flirty florals, to men serving shoes on a platter!!

what more could a girl want??

it was pretty hard to get excited for fall designs after that, but this was a fall show after all so on to the emerging designers . . .

up first was Felicia Barth-Aasen, she showcased a very dark grungy girl with layers of knits and pops of orange.  while not particularly my style, she knows her customer and more importantly, she knows herself.  and a designer that stays true to themselves is everything!

following was Noelle Stanley and Sean Olsen with a childrens collection, and those little girls really worked that catwalk, lemme tell ya.  

then came Nkundwe Kasyanju with a futuristic black and white collection

Angela Bacskocky's collection felt a little Derek Lam-esque and i LOVED it!!  every outfit was perfectly put together and the laser cut leather and harnesses were ridic!  my faves were this blue wool crop top and the massive chubaka fur!!!  but, i could really see myself wearing every piece!

lastly was Yuyan He and she left me slightly confused, but individually there were some great pieces in there.

Hunter Bell closed the show, and having watched her on Style Star, I was super excited to see her collection!

i know its fall and its ready to wear, but i was slightly disappointed.  i was hoping for cute fits and fun prints and maybe a pop of color or two, but it was totally lacking.  my favorite part was the Forever 21 shoes that adorned all the models feet and the over the knee hose!!
