Quick post before bed.

I am really sleepy right now, just made about $50 in an hour though. Hoped for better but after two appointments bailing on me this morning, $50 should cover it I guess. Haha.

I was going to post some collection stuff, things I was looking at the other day that I liked, but I'll try to do that tomorrow instead.

So here was my outfit today.

Kimchi Blue plaid,

Damsel floral top (Fun fact..I wanna say Hayden Panetierre has this same top),

vintage ring,

Silence & Noise jeans (in pretty lousy condition..baha),

UO canvas foldover black ankle boots.

And did you guess Nicole Richie for the next page in the style spiral? If so, you're right on the money!

She is so beautiful, and looks awesome in everything she wears. I think the the only thing that I like least about some of her outfits I've seen is when she wears flip flops (none of those photos made it into the spiral of course.) Sorry Nicole! But everyone has their teensy imperfections, flip flops can totally slide for someone with such great style.

I just about finished the next person/page today. Wanna take a stab at who it may be?

Hint: In my eyes, this person is the master, #1, pro, queen of florals.

[sidebar: ..take a stab? Yeah, I sell knives. I think it's getting to me.]

Goodnight lovelies.

Not an extremely successful sales day, this Tuesday.

Had a couple appointments but didn't sell anything. However, 6 of the friends I recommended got hired today which is like beyond awesome!

Our office is gonna be one big party. And hopefully I'll have a more successful day tomorrow. I also have my BCIS final which I haven't studied for at all..I'm not feeling too confident on that one, hah.

Today's outfit:

Criss Cross white cardigan from Francesca's,

Damsel slip worn as top,

Sharagano high-waist skirt,
boring Mossino flats.

So, the first page of my "style spiral" introduces my muses. And the first one I did was Alison Mosshart. I'm not going in order of importance or influence, I'm just putting them down as I think and collect pictures and stuff.

Here it is.

I'm working on the next page slowly but surely. Can you guess who it is?

Busy bee!

I've been meaning to update but jeez, lately I've been running around like a chicken with its poor little head off.

Completely by coincidence, these 2 weeks that I entered into at work are what's called a "Push" where we have to literally push ourselves to physical/mental/emotional limits in order to rake in as much dough as possible. Sounds fantastic, doesn't it?

Hah, yeah.

It'll pay off though I'm sure.

So I was in Houston for a conference yesterday and I wasn't thinking when I got dressed at 4:45 AM, and ended up being pretty underdressed compared to most everyone else there.

And of course I forgot my camera, what a mess! But you wouldn't believe the amount of beautiful people I saw at this thing. Like, seriously, I was taken aback.

Ah but here is two outfits from..I dunno, a couple of the days that I didn't update. D:

Headband from Dusty's,

vintage No Boundaries shirt,

BDG grey vest/cardi,

vintage ring,

Kimchi Blue skirt,

that mysteriously anonymous tan belt that I've been getting so much use out of lately,

Alex Marie sandals.

And this outfit, which I accomplished my first sale in.

Vintage necklace,

blue bow in my hair somewhere,

American Apparel lemon yellow v-neck,

vintage rings that are hiding in my pockets,

Urban Renewal shorts [which I absolutely adore, even though they aren't totally body flattering on me since I'm rather short, they're awesome anyway!],

Shelleys sandals from UO.

I was watching Roman Holiday the other day with my dad and agh I just love it. Obviously because of A-Hep, haha. And Gregory Peck was just such a stud!

Check it out if you haven't already, forrreal.

Also, guys I am on Weardrobe! Take a look at that too, I'm lovin' it.

Oh and somehow before I take off for New York I am going to finish my fashion spiral, whether I have to neglect sleeping & eating altogether or not. And when I do, I am going to share it with you. On my icons pages I'm including Rumi from fashiontoast and of course Jane from Sea of Shoes.

I'm going to go work on that right now for a bit, and maybe try to set up some more appointments. Later gators!

Awesome day.

Today was the end, the last day of summer school for speech, yay! I've still got about a week still in my online computer class but that's child's play.
Here was my last day of summer school outfit:

Forever 21 cami,
Urban Renewal shirt,
vintage ring,
(red bracelet is one that I received at summer camp. It was mistaken for an allergy bracelet at my doctor's appointment yesterday, hah!)
BDG jeans,
Alex Marie shoes.

After summer school ended I did a bit of grocery shopping and then came home and got right to work on a fashion spiral for my New York trip, full of style icons and inspiration to guide my shopping.
In the afternoon my very close friend Kim, who moved to Arizona a couple years ago, came to visit me since she's in town. We had a very nice chat; I've missed her!

After that I prepared for my job interview at Vector Marketing! I wanted to base an outfit around my CK blazer but it didn't work out as planned.
So here was my outfit:

American Apparel forest green v-neck,
tan belt..no idea of the brand or where I bought it,
vintage ring,
zebra bracelet from Urban Outfitters,
Ralph Lauren jeans,
Predictions patent black pumps,
Givenchy Parfums patent black tote.


And I am now employed! I'm hoping to be fairly bankin' by the time New York comes around.
Now I need to go do some homework for the job because I've got breakfast and training bright & early in the morning!

Watermelon

So I just arrived home from student council summer camp in San Marcos yesterday, and I have to say it was a complete blast!
It was 70's themed, I met so many new and amazing people, and honestly there was a point almost every day we were there that I cried because we shared so many personal stories and things like that. (you can search for me on Facebook, Briana Ellsworth, if you would like to see photos.)
We also went shopping at the fantastic outlet mall where I did something I never thought I could - I only bought one thing! Well, okay two if you count an incense burner.
I found out that the New York trip Sierra's family planned is a yes and we've bought tickets and made hotel reservations. So I am trying to save every last penny for that. I'm even going to have a garage sale in the very near future, so that's exciting.

Anyway enough about me!
The other day while at the gym, Sierra and I stumbled upon a Seventeen magazine from 1998.

Look how young Tyra is! I like that haircut on her.

And Jen Aniston has seriously aged so gracefully, because she looks almost exactly the same as she did nearly 10 years ago! She is so great.

Looking at the clothing was such a blast from the past. There was denim, cute little plastic accessories, platform flip flops and the like!

Okay and here is my outfit today:

Calvin Klein blazer (my one clothing purchase at the outlets,)

Ralph Lauren white v-neck,

Silence & Noise jeans,

and not seen in this photo: black patent Michelle D flats,

vintage ring (or maybe I had taken that off in this photo. Whoops.)

And, a delicious slice of this yummy watermelon that our neighbors gave us. Which reminded me of these adorable sneakers by Keep at Urban Outfitters.

I am in one of those workaholic modes at the moment, and I am going to go back to all of this scrapbooking and doing homework and preparing for the garage sale!

Happy Belated 4th

Ah I've been a bit under the weather lately, I think there's some throat thing going around. No fun.
My best boy came back home a few days ago, and I spent July 4th downtown with friends.
I told Derek that I finally started up my fashion blog and he seems eager to be a part of it. So here was his 4th of July casual look:

Old Navy v-neck,
American Eagle shorts & belt,
Nikes.

He was disappointed that his first photo for l&d was so "cheap" but it's all good. Derek is one of the more stylish guys in this city, even when he dresses down. He just came home from being in California, Colorado, and Las Vegas. Lucky lucky boy! And he'll be leaving in a couple weeks for Europe. I am insanely jealous. I couldn't go because of damn summer school, which I could not finish early due to new school policy! Goodness.

This was my outfit.

American Apparel v-neck,
vintage ring,
Silence & Noise liquid leggings (full-length but I rolled them to crop length),
boring Mossino flats.

I'm very excited to report that I may get the chance to go to New York for a few days in August with my best girl, Sierra. I'm hoping & praying! I think that I'll have the yes or no by tonight.
Oh and I'll be in San Marcus for a leadership camp Thursday through Monday. Many photos will be taken, of this I am positive.
These camps are so much fun and sadly, this being mine & Derek's senior year, it will be our last. It's sure to be a blast. Can you say outlet malls? Although I do need to be cautious in my spending if I am to go to NY.
Gah I hope it's a yes, because I definitely need to get away from this city! Corpus is just so bland. All we have here is very mediocre beaches and sunshine nearly all year. Both of which I could live without. There is nothing fashionable or exciting, so I can't wait for college - a whole 'nother year away, sigh.

Raggedy Ann

Guillaume Hinfray = one of my new very favourite shoe designers.

If you haven't heard of Hinfray and his shoes, check it out ASAP! According to guillamehinfray.com GH "is a rough-chic style." The shoes are beautifully crafted and very elegant, yet they sport "more brutish finishing and 'underground' elements such as Piercing punctuating the shoes as a signature."

So cool.

Ideeli is having an ideeli red sale and there are quite a few shoes that I could die for! Most sold out of my size though. Which is bittersweet, considering I seriously need to conserve some money.

Ah well, my best friend comes home from vacation in a couple of hours. So I'm going to go over to his house to surprise him (probably by hiding in the closet) and welcome him home!

Oh and here's my outfit from yesterday, summer school.

Kimchi Blue shirt,

Lux cardigan,

Lucky Brand jeans,

Kimchi Blue Herringbone Gladiator Sandal.

I'm thinking about dressing up as Raggedy Ann for one day during Homecoming week at school this year. I kinda look just like her, yeah?

Public Enemies

So today after summer school, my father and I decided to go see Public Enemies. Our house was supposed to be shown (it is currently for sale) and so we had a couple of hours to kill.
All I can say is Wow! What an awesome movie. It has every component needed to qualify as an exponentially brilliant film: including both Johnny Depp & Christian Bale!

My wardrobe today was even more boring and thrown on for comfort than yesterday's. Yeah, it's possible.

Nylon tee from Nylon Magazine,
BDG jeans from UO,
Vans Off the Wall shoes in red,
vintage ring on my left hand & rings from Charlotte Russe on my right.


By the way, this is rather irrelevant but have you ever seen infomercials for those "Smooth Away" pads? I bought a box at HEB today for 10 bucks out of sheer curiosity and amazingly enough, they work! Very cool and very handy - check it out forsure.
