"I like my money right where I can see it, hanging in my closet."

The question “where did you think to come up with that outfit” is something I’m asked quite a bit, whether it be as a compliment or in more of a “you look out of your mind wearing that” tone. Either way, some of my responses would be blogs, fashion magazines, or the almighty CARRIE Bradshaw.



Like most fans of the show, we gush, we drool, and watch in sheer enjoyment/jealousy the amazing wardrobe she has. However, like most fans of the show, not all of us are living on the make-believe budget of how much we can spend on a pair of shoes, a fabulous bag, or even a dinner at a high-end restaurant in New York City.

Myself being one of the girls in that category, I’m planning on doing a few spreads on how to reinvent some of her most infamous wardrobe selections on a budget.

The first featured ensemble was the first outfit to pop into my mind. It was featured in the episode “An American Girl in Paris: Part Deux.” Enjoy.

i will have you, yes i will have you. i will find a way and i will have you.

You know that feeling when you see something while shopping that you know if you don't buy your life just won't be the same? As sad and pathetic as that may sound, sometimes nothing can fill that empty space inside like a new purse, dress, or in my case...shoes.

I've been OBSESSING over these Vivienne Westwood's for too long now. I feel if I don't see these on my feet soon I'll go cray.

Human League seems to know how I feel, too.

"We're all a little mad here"

One of biggest blessings in life is to have four of the most amazing siblings around. It is also a HUGE plus when two of those four are fantastic seamstresses. Meet Rosie and Angie.



Their whimsical, kitschy, and ever outspoken clothing and jewelry has certainly made its mark around the metro Detroit area. Seen here is just one of their many adorable pieces; the "Alice in Wonderland" dress.
