OOTD: Bindi Style

Hello Suzies,

Today we will briefly discuss the somewhat controversial accessory, the bindi.

If you have been keeping up with some of this summer's out-of-the-ordinary trends you most likely have seen many a-celebrities as well as average joes sporting the bindi- once the identification of marriage turned accessory for all people around the world.  I was introduced to this accessory after seeing Gemma Styles and Lou Teasdale wore them at The Craft by Lou Teasdale launch party.

  

*couldn't find a pic of the two

Inspired by them and other fabulous ladies who have worn them, I decided to wear one myself  today.  Mine was given to me by a dear friend and is very simple- silver and sparkley!

Enjoy.

shirt: american eagle

bracelets: mom&UO rings: vintage&etsy

pants: UO shoes: H&M

Don't let anyone dictate your style.  It is your decision and yours only. Peace!

Australian Cowgirl?!

Hello Suzies,

Winter is approaching at a high rate of speed, and I cannot wait!  Winter, after all, is my favorite season.  I also love wearing warm clothes.  Warm clothes require more material, which gives them the potential to be on a higher level of "lovablity"..catch my flow?

Give it up for my dad, who caught this candid without knowing it!  The pleasant turned glutenous yet still pleasant American holiday has come and gone.  I love that holidays because the family gets together for a nice time.  I also love the holidays, as mentioned previously, because of the cold weather attire.  The inspiration for this outfit started with my hat *heart eyes*.  This is no ordinary brimmed hat, it is an Australian cowboy hat.  That's right ladies and gentlemen.  I rediscovered this hat in the storage of my garage and knew I was onto something.  My dad was in the Navy for a while and he had the opportunity to sail around the world.  He was stationed primarily in the far east and Australia.  He purchased this Made-In-Australia hat, not Made-In-China, AUSTRALIA.  I think it's pretty cool.  So that's my story of the day!  

Outfit:

Hat- Australia..

Silver Cuff- Forever21

Monogram Necklace- Moon&Lola c/o Blossoms

Chambray Shirt- Gap

Shaw- Free People

Brown Acid Washed Harem Pants- Urban Outfitters

Orange Cone Heels- ModCloth

Being Busy, Prepostions, and Stuff

Hello Suzies,

I would say, "I'm promise I'm back for good," buuuut we see how that has turned out.  I don't forget about you, I CAN promise you that much.  I just get so busy and procrastinate and blah blah all those shenanigans.  Anyway, here I am!

Since I've been away I have taken several pictures to be used for WideEyedSusan, this is one!  Taken by my wonderful friend Lesley, I stand in an alley of clovers and beside a wall covered in graffiti out of which I was unable to make words..  I am wearing an outfit of which I am extremely yet peculiarly proud.  I feel like these sentences sound weird because I'm trying to make them grammatically correct by not putting prepositions at the end.. please excuse me.  It was dream job day at school on this particular day and I tried to dress the role of Accessories Director at TeenVogue; I really like Sheena Smith, she is the cooliest.  Plus, I never get to wear normal clothes to school because we wear uniforms.  I talked about that in this post!  

Now time to get down to bidness.  From head to toe? FROM HEAD TO TOE!  My RayBans are a staple item, love'em.  My earrings are from the ever lovely Urban Outfitters.  You can barely see it but the silver necklace laying under my collar is from H&M along with the black ring on my pinky!  My bracelets are just from around the house, I really wish I could tell you where they are from but I have no idea.  Oh! My purse, it's kind of hiding behind my person, is from TopShop, and oh my oh my how I love it!  The chambray collared shirt is from Gap, the overlaying boyfriend-like sweater is from- I could eat this store up- H&M.  Black jeggings... YOU GUESSED RIGHT, H&M!  Desert boots are an autumn and winter essential, mine are Steve Madden- very reliable boot brand.  My coat is my favorite favorite favorite!  It is a vintage piece of my Great-Grandmother Dot's, actually made by a local seamstress way back.  This one-of-a-kind piece is covered in a tiny blue and green hounds tooth!  

I would like to wish everyone a very very happy Thanksgiving!!

LoveXO

Hello Suzies,

Old Toys.

To be honest I've always thought that Russian nesting dolls were the neatest things around.  Any time I spot them I'm drawn to them like lead to a magnet.  These nesting dolls where my great-grandmothers.  Now that sit on a shelf as a retro decorations with other knick- knacks.
