the (ef)Face: Rolex

She's a Mixed-up Girl in a Mixed-up World.

Song of the Day: "Meddle" by Little Boots.
It works, 'cuz it's sassy yet sweet, and I'm wearing little boots with this outfit. :)

This look is a bit hipster-fab, ain't it? I realized that during the day and got a little self-conscious...but then I reminded myself that labels shouldn't matter. We love what we love. And I love this outfit.

My beloved broken Rolex. I never bothered putting a new battery in this thrifted beauty, 'cuz its second hand just quirkily floats freely around inside the face, soooo....really, what's the point? I have a cell phone to tell time with, after all. (But I will never use an e-reader to read books. Some things just shouldn't be digital.)

Thought I'd share my quirky dinner with you, too, since this post is so full of quirkiness:

Yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen. That is some LEFTOVER MCDONALD'S AND PINK CHAMPAGNE. How do you like me, now?

cute sleeve buttons :)

the Dogwalker

On what I suspect was one of the last sunny, warm-ish days we'll have this year, I decided to take my dog for a walk. The outfit was nothing special until I passed my new straw hat sitting on top of a pile of boxes (still in the process of moving in), and impulsively decided to plop it on my head. I got stopped along my way so many times for compliments, it just further proves what I thought all along:

Hats are Magic.

Do you agree, my lovely readers?

Like I said, it's a very simple outfit (hopefully a bit Audrey Hepburn in feeling--I love that she was always very demure and understated in her day-to-day dressing, as opposed to her films when she was draped in Givenchy couture). There's a timeless, classic quality to the boatneck sweater, cropped pants, and flats. I added a bit of myself, too: the straw hat for sweetness, and the distressed white denim and the cutout metallic flats for a bit of punch.

Sweet, sassy, and classic: I want it all!

And who'd've thunk just a basic sweater-and-jeans combo could say so much?

THANKS FOR READING!

Come back soon...

Penny is such a good girl. <3

Monochromatic for Fall (And: helloooo new Louis bag!!!)

Never thought I'd be posting a sweatshirt and jeans outfit on my blog...
but when an outfit is an outfit, then it's an outfit! regardless of how "unspecial" its elements are.

...right? Do you agree, my lovely readers?

Wanted to sport my new Goodwill purchase with a casual outfit to really bring it to the front. :) Not like its multicolored nature doesn't do that, anyway.

Like my monogrammed aviators? The rhinestone "C" might be a bit much, but I loved the personal touch. What do you all think? Too much or no?

Sorry it's been so long since my last post! I've been moving. You'll get photos of my old apartment soon (this blog needs to branch out a bit more than just being photos of me), and photos of my new apartment (when I feel like its worth posting). The flavors of the two are COMPLETELY different!

For your amusement...I lost my balance and laughed... :)

The PIANO SIDEWALK. and a BIG thank-you!

My dear readers, I am filled with pleasure, pride, and gratitude to announce that...

I have over 100 followers!

Having been blogging for just a year, with very limited funds/time and a crappy camera, and from my little place in the middle of nowhere, I can't even tell you how much this means to me!

Now whenever my family members [rather snarkily] ask, "What's the point of this 'blogging' stuff?" I tell them, "Look at all the friends I'm making! Look at all the people who care about what I share with them, and who share with me in return! The coolest part? I have a bunch of followers from other countries! direct connections with special people I never would have met any other way!"
And who knows the wonderful places it'll go from here? Social networking, FTW! So I'm glad to just keep on keeping on: posting my blog posts, putting photos up on Instagram (@spritzy88), and sharing cool stuff on my Facebook page (link at right). And this kind of feedback--100+ followers--makes the sharing even more fun.

So, my mom (who has been by far my staunchest supporter) took me out to lunch to celebrate my 100 followers. :) Here's the outfit I wore that day, incorporating a blouse she gave me to sort of honor her in return:

This is also the debut of my patterned pants from H&M. :) I was soooo excited to find a pair of patterned pants that I actually like and will be able to style with my pre-existing wardrobe. And they're comfy, too.

As I'm posting these photos, I'm seeing the effects of Instagram and Pinterest and magazine subscriptions hahaha...

What I mean is that this is *gasp* a TRENDY outfit.

Patterned cropped pants, sexy statement shoes, a sheer hi-lo blouse, a cropped tuxedo jacket, burgundy lipstick, and even my bangs are all "IN" right now.
Except for my Rolex and my eyes (lol), I don't think I'm wearing anything NOT trendy.
How weird.

These photos were taken in the center square of a city next to my hometown. Actually, the suburbs where I live are all kinda mushed together, sooo it's all kinda the same place, but I digress; the point is that the fountain and gazebo (which you've already seen) are lovely, annnnnnd the following photos showcase my favorite thing about this square:

The PIANO SIDEWALK.

And with that, dear readers, this post draws to its end. :) I'll put one more great big THANK YOU out there, throw out a quick Rundown, and see you later!
