Things have been hectic around here. It’s not really an excuse for not blogging but it kind of is. See I moved from Orlando, FL to Hollywood, FL on the 16th. A 3 hour drive that took all day to pack for and by the end of the night when we were finally leaving…well let’s just say a hummer had to come to the rescue. So I got into the new place at some ungodly hour in the morning and partially unloaded the car and started unpacking. See Tuesday would be my only full day to do anything as Wednesday I had to catch a flight to Chicago in the morning. Without going into it, Chicago was mostly awful with fun sprinkled in here and there since I got to see my friend who lives there. I couldn’t wait to come back to Florida.
While I was there I was really uncomfortable because I barely packed clothing for myself, I mostly had clothes for styling shoots. No bueno. I brought one pair of heels and three flats. I know it’s like I was body snatched. On Tuesday the day before I had to fly out, Kelly took me downtown so I could hunt down these platform heels:
Actually initially I wanted the polka dotted pair and I’d figured oh if I like the daisy print I’ll just get both. Well I ended up not liking the polka dot version of these at all. They looked dirty in comparison to the stark white on this pair. I’m so glad that I didn’t just buy my first choice online and held off because I wanted to see the quality (it is Forever 21 after all). Gonna stop by Aldo Shoes and get an insole/get them to tighten the strap for me though. I don’t know how to say they run since I’m an 8.5 and I’m wearing an 8 with obviously a little space. My feet don’t slip out when I walk though.
While window shopping online for the shoes I saw this necklace…I hesitated on the shoes and went down to my hotel lobby for a bit, came back to the room decided to just checkout and the creme colored was sold out. I was ticked so I ordered nothing. I didn’t see the black online initially. After seeing them both in person I couldn’t decided and bought them both. I wore the black for the first time today and broke it. It’s fixable though but I was like DAMN, I’ve been wearing this for barely an hour now.
I’ve been looking for a pair of leather or faux leather (I don’t care as long as it looks good) pair of shorts for awhile. It’s harder than you think. I have a pair but they’re regular rise and too short for all the time usage. These are high waisted and just long enough to wear in front of someone’s mother haha.
I know from reading this it looks like I went on some crazy Forever 21 binge but I didn’t I swear. I also visited Aritzia which we don’t have in Florida and I got two pieces. They don’t have a e-commerce website so no pics sorry. I don’t wanna take them myself. I was gifted every issues of the Scott Pilgrim comic. Woo. Also came home to:

Girl, you gotsta be kidding. Well, i’m glad you had a sprinkle of fun at least. hmm. haha. (= I love your pictures btw.

Love those daisy heels 🙂 I could totally see myself wearing those. I think they are better than the polka dots you originally wanted.

I love the Jeffrey Campbell shoes! Lace up boots is my favourite shoe style. The daisy shoes are pretty rad as well. They’ve got this wonderful 60s hippie feel.

Oh wow, those look great on you. Although I can’t see the rest of you, they look great on your feet, lol. I bought the plain black ones, which I love…but it’s something about those daisies…

HAH HAH! I had shoes just like that in HS back in 93′! I made them myself, but the shoes were a little more platform a’ la ‘Dee Lite – Groove is in the Heart” kind of style. I think Sassy Magazine back then had done a DIY tutorial on painting shoes and stuff. Of course, these are much nicer, since I could never paint for S^%T!

I <3 those shoes up there, I think I will look crazy w/ them on but oh well I rather take the risk because I <3 them. Forever21 is always making inspired shoes like Jeffrey Campbell, I <3 him also. I <3 this post w/ the dream catchers they are so in style.

Aritzia is one of my favourite stores. I didn’t know they had started opening stores in the US, I thought they were just in Canada. They have a brand called community which is AMAZING but not all Aritzia’s carry that line, only certain locations do. You should check it out if you can.
I almost bought those F21 platforms a few weeks ago! I couldn’t find my size and the store was in such disarray I gave up:(
