Summerblink

Last night we headed out to a movie, as a family, for the first time.  A theater by Disneyland offers 1 showing a week that is baby friendly, complete with extra lighting and changing tables!  So we headed out in the 100 degree heat to check out the movie Lucy with Remy.  Here is my outfit, compiled of my current favorite summer duds.

Outfit Details:
Dress - Babooshka
Bralette - Lane Bryant
Sandals - Circus by Sam Edelman
Sunglasses - Wonderland LA

Remy also wanted to show off her tough girl nose scratch (from wrestling her stuffed elephant with a bit too much vigor) and brand new cat ear headband!

OOTD: Bright Lights Movie Night

So, somehow this outfit seems inappropriate for seeing the movie Black Swan, but the tights are new and I couldn't wait any longer. This outfit may also seem out of sorts for my usual OOTDs, and that may be true. But, as you know, I'm a a HUGE fan of Betsey Johnson. So while 95% of my closet is black and moody, I have some pieces that reminiscent (if not straight up hers themselves) of her iconic collections. So, with that in mind, I hope you enjoy my brightly-toned departure from all black.




Outfit Details:
Top: Evans
Skirt: Macy's
Cardigan: Nordstrom
Stockings + Hat: Torrid
Shoes: Hot Topic
Cameo Ring + Heart Bracelet: Tarina Tarantino
Necklace: Harajuku Lovers



Also, I'd like to say that I have no foundation on in these pics...mostly thanks to my new (mostly) Lush-based skincare routine. These are the products I've been using and am totally in love with. Throw in this moisturizer from Trader Joe's and the Oatfix fresh face mask (also by Lush, but only available in the store) and my skin is suppppppppper happy right now. Full disclosure: there's a SLIGHT filter on the pics, but it honestly doesn't change the skin texture at all.

I'm very excited about the 2nd Sex and the City Movie that comes out today, so I felt inspired to create some great outfits to bring out your inner Carrie! Some points of style to focus on would be colorful heels, unique jewelry, and bright dresses. Those Ruby Belle dresses from Evans are great for lookin' like the 5th member of everyone's favorite fashion girl-gang.





A few of my favorite fashion elements from the years of Sex and the City have been:
- Half gloves
- Scarves tied to the arm
- Visible bras (who cares if your straps show??)
- Poofs and bubbles of Tulle

What are your favorite SATC fashion moments?

*edit* Musings of a Fatshionista did a post of favorites!

OOTD: Glamour Island

Got all gussied up, and probably inappropriately absurd, to go see Shutter Island. Reminded me why we always go to the 21+ theaters to avoid teenagers. However, the movie was excellent and our impromptu photo shoot led to some decent shots.
