Frenchie

I think if the temperature were about 4 degrees hotter today, then I could say that I jumped the gun on the cold weather attire. But luckily, today provided the perfect weather for an ensemble like this. I think the parisian look is one of my favorites. I feel that this might be true to many of us American girls; I mean, come one, who doesn't dream to be as adorable & stylish as those parisian ladies?

Vintage beaded sweater/shirt (I think it's supposed to be worn as a shirt but I like it better backwards): $5 at a thrift store

Pants: BDG from Urban Outfitters

Vintage handbag: Vintage from Savers $10

Shoes: A splurge at Topshop

Belt: Free from one of those Cabi parties my mom hosted at our house a ways back

Round Black Shades: Ebay $6

Black Beret: The Milwaukee Art Museum for $10 I think

Lovely Boots

So, I've wanted a pair of short, black, Chelsea-style boots for quite some time now & haven't been able to find the perfect pair...that is until a couple days ago when I found not one but three pairs from the Topshop website that I was dying to try on. After much thought... okay fine, after first sight, I decided I was going to buy a pair so I ventured down to the Topshop at the Fashion Show Mall to try these suckers on. Just my luck, the boots that I was intending to scope out were all sold out in my size... I thought I was S-O-L until I spotted these metal toed beauties. They were a bit of a splurge compared to the rest of my wardrobe but a good pair of boots are a good investment, in my book. These black beauties are going to be in my wardrobe for years to come.

Bonnaroo

Blowin' Bubbles

Devon & I eating delicious freshly baked Amish Doughnuts 

Sarah Barthel of Phantogram....I love her.

H & M sheer shirt- I think it was $5 on sale 

Super old converse

A Ralph Lauren backpack I got at a thrift store for like $15

& galaxy shorts pictured in more detail below

Thom Yorke... a name that needs no introduction. 

Hand-painted galaxy shorts from The Gypsy Den. I'm in love.

 We spotted Reggie Watts on the ferris wheel just before we went to his set in the Comedy Tent. Hilarious dude.

The last night at Bonnaroo & it was raining. I'm wearing a thrifted dress, my go-to spiked necklace from The Gypsy Den, and a sweater from The Gap's sale.

So basically Bonnaroo was/is awesome. We scored on some unusually cool weather for the fest this year and we were not complaining. This was my first year attending and it was amazing. And even though I did go to a festival that was hundreds of miles away from home, I still managed to stay true to my thrifty-ness. Instead of paying for a $300 four day pass plus camping and $240 travel expenses, we decided to volunteer at the fest through the Work Exchange Team (WET) which covered our full ticket, camping, and three $8 meal tokens to use at the festival vendors... it was a really great deal.

 Anyways, I hope you enjoyed some of these photos I managed to take. Below is link to a video compilation of some of the acts I saw over the weekend... enjoy!

Blanket of Snow

It snowed today! 

I didn't wear the greatest outfit today but the snow made for a good picture and this jacket is quite a jem. 

For those of you vintage junkies, it's a Hudson Bay Jacket and I got it for only $5 at a garage sale... score!

It's probably one of my warmest jackets. 

I'm also wearing a circle scarf that, sadly, lost its life in the dryer (I don't think its supposed to be machine dried) needless to say, I think I'll have to let go and throw it in the trash... its looking a little too dull.

The rest isn't too interesting:

BCBG grey turtleneck

BDG pants

Steve Madden boots

Betsey Johnson socks

Frye Backback from a garage sale

Again, not the greatest outfit, just a good photo op!

Baby's in Black

Zac and I have been together for 3 years... can you believe it? 

So this Saturday we went on a little nature walk, the same place I went to in this post. The weather was, surprisingly, really nice and not as freezing as it has been these past few weeks.

I wore a black turtle neck and nude shoes bought on sale from The Gap, BDG pants, and a vintage black sparkle top sent to me from my Aunt Paula to model for her store. If you like it contact her for details!

After going on a little walk, we ventured to the thrift store, Savers, and I bought this little electric blue skirt and slipped it on for a little Christmas Part hosted at Zac's house.

So... I know I said that the cold weather is my favorite to dress for but I've found that the hardest part is to not just roll out of bed fifteen minutes before class and throw on the coziest thing I can find. For when I do have those days (which have been occurring quite often), I turn to this amazing Kensie sweater  I bought at Nordstrom Rack about a month ago. I'm in love.

The vintage pants are another piece shipped to me from my aunt to model for her etsy store, Very Tres Chic.

I bought the BDG shoes on sale at UO this summer and the origami crane earrings were handmade by my sister message me if you want to buy a pair!

Nature Walk

This post is not so much about an extravagant outfit, although it all is quite thrifty, but it's more-so about the beautiful nature walk I took and photographed with Zac and his band members for their upcoming album (details to come. For now listen to some music Here). Oh yeah and the statue? It is just randomly placed on this walk but it's actually quite cool.

I'm wearing a thrifted Roxy jacket, thrifted BDG pants, and minnetonka moccasins.
