The Secret Lives Of Wives

As I previously mentioned, I finally received my amazing deer tshirt from coco-fashion.com!

The quality of the shirt is pretty amazing for 8 dollars. Thick white cotton with a really great digital deer print on the front. You can also find this shirt on Sheinside and 15th Lane although coco fashion is definitely the most cost effective site to order from. I chose to pair this top with my plain mini skirt which I bought while thrifting and my black Docs. Very fall and hunter-ess like!

Urban Hauls!

So as promised, I have another haul post for you guys! This time its featuring stuff from my two favourite Urban stores, Urban Outfitters and its lower priced friend Urban Planet. Now I usually get flak for shopping at Urban Planet, but really... if I can find the same thing probably made in the same factory but 20 dollars cheaper...its a no brainer.

Without further adieu, here are my new pretty items..mainly in black and white I've noticed...

Leather High Waisted Shorts - $20

These are one of the cutest shorts I've seen in a very long time. I have been on the hunt for the perfect leather shorts and these babies are them! They are a high waisted leather short, that actually covers my whole butt cheeks! Which is extremely hard to do..I had purchased some from H&M before, but they never really hit that sweet spot of totally fulfilling my leather short dreams.

They look super similar to Amy Valentines vintage shorts.

Acid Wash Boho Jacket - $15

I found this beauty while browsing the sale section. It wasn't my absolute fave since I'm not really a fan of boho looks, and the wool panelling was a touch too boho for me. Putting it on changed my perspective though. It has an amazing fit and I love the shade of the acid wash. Now if only I could find pants in this same wash!

Dark Symbols Tank - $10

I have always loved symbols and even went into studying them ( semiotics ) so when I found this shirt I kinda fell in love with it. Its definitely a striking piece to add to a wardrobe and really fun to mix and match styles with.

Nabi Polish - 2/$5

Rose, Neutral, Hot Red

Since falls around the corner (already!!!) I thought I would buy some new fall polishes in colours that I don't have already. I absolutely loveeee the neutral and red shade, and the rose colour is a nice girly dark shade as well. They go on super smooth and only really need one coat to successfully cover your nail in an even coat. They do start to wear quickly but still amazing quality for the price.

Spike Earrings - $3 / Arrow Necklace - 2/$5

These little accessories are really cute. The earrings fit super close to the ear, and look really nice in my second ear holes beside my stretched ears. Usually any earring I put in takes away from the look of my ears but these are really nice and oddly enough quite subtle. 

The necklace was really cute and there's one at my work for like a billion dollars more. I love wearing it with a really busy top since I always like having a necklace on, and it fits high enough that I can still layer longer necklaces with it.

Patent Booties - $30

THEEESEEEE. Are so cute. They are so 90s with a nice modern heel. I am so excited to pair these with my thrifted school girl skirt for a Clueless kinda look

White Lace babydoll Top - $9.99

I love this top although I have yet to find something amazing to pair it with. It has a baby doll fit and is one of those shirts that only look good with nothing underneath, although there is no bra that looks decent with it. I love the quarter sleeve and the all over lace and try to wear it pretty much everyday until I psych myself out with the nakedness underneath.

Two Toned Shift Dress - $29.99

This is is what I call the perfect everyday flapper dress. It has such a 1930's vibe going on with its super simple cut and faux two piece look.  It is extremely shapeless which I love, and makes my curvier shape look elegantly boyish. I have been searching for something like this for a very long time, and I'm so glad I found this piece for such a great price.

Jail Bird Dress - $29.99

Another dress I have fallen in love with. It has a great shape and fit, which you can see in my last outfitting post. It makes me feel really girly since the bottom has some layers and cakes out in an oh so flattering way. I love pairing this dress with my Docs or Cut out creepers.

Cut Out Leather Ankle Boots - $79 

Speaking of cut outs, I am loving these boots! I almost bought them online but ended up waiting, and found them in store! They are super comfortable and look great with thigh high socks, or any socks in general. The heel is not too high and the leather detailing makes my ankles look less like popsicle sticks.

If you noticed, I didn't put which Urban I bought these at. Although, you can probably tell by the prices, I give you the challenge of guessing which store these great pieces came from! If you really want to know, leave me a message and ill tell you which items are from which...(party pooper)

Which are your favourite items? Do you shop at lower priced stores? 

Stay tuned for a new outfitting post featuring my new shirt from coco-fashion.com!  

Watch Me Burn

I have been loving my new shoes from UrbanOG.com, and wearing them every chance I can get. I love experimenting with them and doing something completely grungy and dark to emphasize the creeper chunky style and buckles, and then flipping it 360 to do something super girly and fun, using the shoes for a touch of edge.

-sorry its blurry...my settings were weird-

One look I'm absolutely in love with is something I put together the other day while shopping. My actual outfit kinda fell apart on me, so I had to buy something quick that worked well with the shoes, and the over all feeling I had that day.

I was at Urban Outfitters checking out their recently stocked sale section when I found the prettiest dress! I bought a bunch of other things as well but that will be saved for a haul I will post at a later on this week. This is the final outfit I put together. Simple, girly with a little edge ;)

-again, sorry for the blur-

[Outfitting] - Blissed Out

This is my second attempt at taking some fashion photos. Totally better then my first round in my opinion, but still not where I want my photos to be.. but I'm getting there! I definitely need some better lighting and maybe a better camera / to learn how to use mine better. I would say this lighting is a bit better though and so is my editing.

Top - Detox

Shorts - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - Urban Planet

Lipstick - Top Shop

Sunnies - Market

These are pretty much my first pair of urban renewal shorts and I am completely in love with them, even though all of my friends have told me I should have just thrifted and made them myself. That will be an upcoming project, if it ever gets warm again :(. I love the marbled effect and all the super shredded-ness going on. It gives off such an effortless chick rock look. It took about an hour to find the perfect pair of shorts though, since they are all literally cut up jeans with different fits and different quality denim. I'm glad I stayed and searched!

I paired the shorts with my super old "rocker" print tank from detox and my favourite dupe shoes, my 20 dollar spiked faux suede Lita's.  

I almost cant wait till fall so I can wear these shorts with some cute tights and thigh high socks! <3

Have you ever tried the renewal shorts from Urban Outfitters? 

BIG Changes!! & Haul / NOTW

Sooooo basically I cut all my hair off. I now have a short bob style which I actually love! I have always wanted long hair, but my hair has always had other ideas, so I gave up and chopped it off last night. I cant wait to experiment with new short hairstyles and see how this cute look will work with edgier fashion.

I never really liked short hair, or thought it would look good on me, but its really nice...we will see how long I love it for though. haha

Also, I have been doing a little bit of shopping recently...some at Anthropologie (mainly at Anthropologie, some at urban outfitters and little bits here and there).

From Anthropologie I bought a few really cute pieces from their new season and some from their sale items!

First off, this army jacket. Its seriously amazing! The front is a really nice, over sized army jacket with big pockets and a nice collar. The back is the surprise.

The back is a gorgeous knitted pattern with yellows, pinks, navys and really makes the jacket pop! It goes perfectly with any style, jeans, dress, skirts etc.

The next item I bought was this super cute printed, collard dress shirt. It has an adorable bicycle man print all over it, and has navy cuffs, collar and stripe coming up the middle. It is soft and really comfy to wear. 

This is another really nice top I bought. The front and back are a sheer material, while the arms and neck are a comfy jersey type material. Its longer in the back and has a cute rolled up / button sleeve. Its really comfy to wear and really gives off an easy going professional look.

This last sweater I bought might be my favourite purchase so far. Its something I've never seen before, and soooo cute on! It has and irregular hemline along the bottom, and the back has a lace piece inside, that just peaks out along the bottom. I bought it in a medium so that it was longer  and so that the arms were a bit looser. I LOVE THIS SWEATER! It looks amazing with leather pants or with tights as well. 

This is the last item I bought from Anthropologie. These shorts are actually really really cute! They have a scalloped bottom and a really nice jacquard print with a shiny fabric. They are high waisted and look really good with opaque black tights. I cant wait to wear these with a really cute blazer and nice collard shirt!

At Urban Outfitters, I bought some amazing pieces. This cute grungy sweater with with denim vest, and Love Tarot card tank were 2 great finds in their sale section. They really look so good and the sweater is really warm

The spiked headband was from Garage, which is super crazy, since I didn't think they would have anything like that. The ox blood pants were from Urban Planet, and only cost me 20 bucks!

I also bought these black leather pants from H&M. They are really really stretch and super comfortable to wear. I'm afraid of wearing these in the summer though..we all know what its like to stack to leather seats...imagine leather pants!

Last but not least I also bought this gorgeous long skirt from Costa Blanca for 10 bucks! This is a picture of the back  since the front is just a regular skirt, but the back is rouged  and it has a slit up the side of the leg to just under the knee. Its so nice and comfy and has an effortless sexy chicness to it.

I also picked up some accessories from Anthropologie and Costa Blanca. The two belts were from Anthro, and are so cute! The silver one has a snake head and tail, so it looks like its wrapping around your waist, and the gold one as a really cute jewelled front.

The gold chain necklace I bought from Costa Blanca, and it is so nice. Its the perfect accessory to throw on with literally anything, even a bummy sweater!

I'm happy with everything I got and I didn't break the bank getting em! I wonder how they will all go with my new hair... :D 

My next post will probably be a review..I just don't know on what yet. haha MYSTERY REVIEW!

I will leave you with my new nails for this week! Ciao!
