Wuttup Friends!

INTERNET FRIENDS! I am so sorry for the lack of posts lately, I have been VERY busy doing this:

This TIGER DRESS from H&M that I bought years ago is still one of my favorites for summer.

and this:

My high-waisted bikini. This silhouette will always make you look like a bombshell pin-up star, ladies! My super push-up bra bikini top really helps, too.

Seriously though, I was gone all last week doing the most exciting thing of my life regarding fashion/advertising. I am not allowed to talk about it openly just yet, but I can tell you that I was flown down to Austin, Texas to model in a national advertising campaign for a VERY famous company. I'm not positive as to where the ads will be, but I believe you might be able to find them in the New York Times and People Magazine in the upcoming weeks. (More info as soon as I'm given the go-ahead to talk about it!)

Since I've been back home, I've pretty much worn some variation of the same outfit everyday. I am finding my SPRING STAPLES and COLORS. Right now it's pale pink, cream, and blue jeans as a color scheme, and I've been wearing the same shoes, scarf, jacket, and bag daily. Here's some photos from the last couple of days:

Finally, can I just recommend to everyone that works on the internet - you should do THIS:

This was my day. And I was productive. THE BEST!

Look for another blog post WICKED SOON of some shop previews - I have some really incredible stuff that I'm excited to list including a 2 COOL 4 SCHOOL t-shirt. (I mean, right???)

A Daily Outfit, 4/27/11.

Today I took a trip with my boyfriend to his hometown of Monmouth, Maine, to visit with his family and friends. Even though it was a gray day, it was quite warm, and the grass was green. It was a glimpse of summer, and I was psyched!

 

We passed a huge barn that had a goofy cow painted on it, and when we went searching for thrift stores, we found this incredible woman selling clothing (unfortunately not vintage) right on the sidewalk! A great day for sure!

OUTFIT DETAILS:

CARDIGAN: Thrifted (vintage, 1970s) and temporarily stolen (Thanks Panda!)

RUFFLED TURTLENECK: Target

JEANS: Thrifted (but not vintage)

WOVEN LEATHER BOOTS: Thrifted (vintage, 1970s)

A Casual Easter Outfit

I've decided that when I'm not in my underwear at home (which is an embarrassingly significant amount of my day, but in my defense, I get a lot of work done that way!), I'm going to post my out-and-about ensembles. Today I went up north with my boyfriend to visit our families for Easter and I didn't want to get too dressed up, but was really excited to wear one of my grandmother's hats.

DETAILS:

HAT: Grandma June's (vintage, 1950s)

BROWN & CREAM  STRIPED BLOUSE: Grandma June's (vintage, 1970s)

CREAM KNIT RUFFLED CARDIGAN: Thrifted (vintage, 1960s)

SHOULDER BAG: Grandma June's (vintage, 1970s)

JEANS: Forever 21

WOODEN/LEATHER HEELS: Grandma June's (vintage 1970s)

Hope everyone got to see their families and wear great hats! Happy Easter! xo, mandy
