First off!!!
I hope everyone had an Amazing Holiday weekend celebrating Thanksgiving!
My bf Derek and I took ourselves on a little road trip to see both of our families.
First stop - Arizona!
These were taken in Quartzsite, AZ
Quartzsite is an awesome place where you will find your self roaming for hours looking at all kinda of beautiful stones, semi precious gems and collectibles!
I knew it was going to be warm in AZ so I wore my shorts for the trip and for some reason I found it fitting to pair with a denim top as well!

Top - Gifted by Shoppalu / Shorts - DIY / Boots - Jeffrey Campbell

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy Diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you
- Doors

Sooo, summer is ALMOST over,
so I have to wear my shorts as much as I can before I start pairing them with tights....
I wanted to wear a combination of light and airy colors.
I was so excited to receive this knit tank from Shoppalu! 
I love it because with the mix of colors in it, it reminds me of cotton candy.

Tunic Dress - Vintage / Shorts - DIY / Boots - JC / Ring - F21

Steam's working, I see it in everyone
Like a lost idea under a light bulb sun
Your eyes, ready for takeoff, melt in your head
What a beautiful state we're in

Jailers in mind are all dead
I love you so much, never forget
Our love, our secrets, coming undone
What a beautiful state we're in

Goodnight, another bad morning
- The Kills

I love the whimsical flowy look this tunic has...
When it's as hot as it has been you crave pieces like this where you can feel the breeze go through it and touch your skin...
I like pairing it with the Litas to keep the look a bit tough and not to pretty.

AND congrats to Ashley Yano for winning the Leyendecker giveaway!

Sugar, I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in memphis
I tried to take me upstairs for a ride
I had to heave her right across to my shoulder
I could not seem to drink you off my mind
Come on babe

It's the honky tonk, honky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
- Rolling Stones

I love love these shoes!
I plan on pairing them with all my rocker tops and trying them with un expected pieces as well....
They are so fun and fresh, gotta love Jeffrey Campbell!
As for my top, I'm pretty lucky my bf is handy with scissors.
He has a natural way with fashion and I love that he cuts up tee's for me =)
Hope you are all having a great start of the week!

Lace Dress & Bustier - Vintage / Shorts - DIY / Sandals - Chloe

Love is in the water - love is in the air
Show me where to look - tell me will love be there?
Teach me how to speak - teach me how to share
Teach me where to go - tell me will love be there?

Oh - Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh - Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh - Heaven, let your light shine down
Oh - Heaven, let your light shine down
- Collective Soul

I was in the mood for lace, flowy fabrics and a little leg....
Wearing this button dress the un traditional way by buttoning just the top
and keeping the rest open gives it more of a flirty feel.
Then topping it off with denim cut offs keeps the whole outfit fresh and new!

They say 'Freak'
When your singled out
The red
Well, it filters through

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again

Seeing red again
Seeing red again
- Chevelle

We had a down pour this past weekend which caused the next couple days to be overcast
with a slight drizzle on and off...
So I pulled the only coat in my closet that has a hood and warm enough for this weather.
Which led me this red number!
My favorite part of this coat besides the vibrant color is....
the faux fur lined hood.
The thing I love about coats like these is that they are almost an outfit itself...
Then when you unzip it you can display a whole other outfit!
Now I added the knee socks over my tights because I wanted to add some flavor to one of my staple tights with short looks.
Especially since I kept the color palette pretty basic (besides the coat)
I just bought this black sweater which has instantly become my go to sweater at my local LF store. They seriously have great pieces I could stay hours in there.....
Well I may have....
