BOO!

yep, i'm in shorts again, these lacy babies caught my eye and well. i do live in florida, so all the fall shorts i'm snatching up are totally justifiable. and seriously, how else might i show off adorable Fair Isle pompom socks? fringe poncho, check! lace-up platform booties, check! faux-furry hat, check! skull on a stick, got it! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, loveys!

love,

playing dress-up

the german walked into our guest bedroom and called out to me "what IS this?" he was referring to an entire outfit i laid out on the bed, right down to the boots and socks and... "oh just an outfit i picked out..."

"hmm..."

boys don't quite get it. if i don't start finding a reason to put some real clothes on i might end up in a straight jacket instead. don't say i didn't warn you...

well, L fell asleep on the ride home from starbucks. so i dashed inside & super quietly! threw on the look from the bed with... a halloweeny twist. ;-)

mad props to the german for the wee little camera remote control he randomly purchased off amazon, it came in handy today!

the look.

oh how my high school self would've loved this. black wings especially.

top- zara

skirt- ancient max studio

belt- got in london 100 years ago

socks- urban outfitters

boots- eeeek, report signature? old & i've forgotten. let me get back to you.(ugh, am so hollywood red carpet idiot! L's on my lap, no can do right now.)

wings- party city

love,

sunlovey

p.s. i leave you with ministry's everyday is halloween. revel in it.

PONDERING HALLOWEEN
my mess of possible props is all i have to show for halloween '11 look. a far cry from my carefully chosen, created and packed alice get-up last halloween that i wore as i whirlwinded through the infamous salem, mass. do you see a possible costume in this pile of oddities?

i have decked out my dwelling here & there too! i like to pretend baby L notices...

wondering if your american apparel had such fashiony halloween window displays?

just one week 'til the 31st. what'll you be? what about me...

love,

sunlovey

stay-at-home mom

style

i'd be an utter & total liar if i tried to pretend i sported these shoes all day, i'm requesting you practice a little suspension of disbelief where said shoes are concerned. and i think you'll giggle when i tell you about the bubble gum pink shorts i'm wearing.

really, i just wanted to talk about the fact that lately, i want to wear the same top every single day. no, i haven't succumb to stay-at-home-mom-i-don't-care-anymore frumpiness. nope, aforementioned top is just that bad ass. oversized and cozy, yes. but in a bold python print with structured stand collar and a chic swingy shape + pockets = #love.

but then, unexpected accessories started playing into my silly little photo shoot. so... i went with it.

the top = zara.

the shorts = kids size champion "sport" shorts from target. the corset-back heels = betsey johnson. the shades = marc jacobs. the mask = pulcinella, a venetian carnevale character, the baby = my very best accessory, the famous baby L. happy monday, loveys!

love,

sunlovey

i found the tights.

#love

wonderland.

do you feel where i'm going? oh yes... lovely trippy whimsical alice... the above interpretation came entirely from forever 21's website. next up, will acquire the right tights +some sort of tea cup and/or clock accessories!

couldn't really limit myself to just one "look" this halloween considering i'm traveling to one of the halloween meccas of the world... salem by way of boston. will totally rock my disco mirror mask & where the wild things are-esque fuzzy faux-fur hat.

please tell me you too are getting into the halloween spirit. summon your inner creative child and run with it.
love,
sunlovey
