Hello followers, have you checked in with your friends? I know it’s summer. Maybe it’s the heat? But I just feel kind of in the dumps. Maybe I should’ve actually watched the World Cup? I feel like buying something, but you know me. I can never justify just buying something, and I’m really indecisive. But I also do like sharing in case anyone else is interested! … Continue reading July 2018 Picks
Heyhey readers, you ever feel like not blogging? I had a pretty decent list of post ideas for last week but was rather busy and was just not particularly enthusiastic to write any of them. After a more analytical blog, I did want to do something more light but was honestly more interested in… the war book I’m reading 😅 Maybe it’s those pesky interests. … Continue reading 1930s Under $30
What’s up, readers, are you planning a big date? I must I admit that I do not usually employ the word “vamp” in my usual vernacular. I was just going for that sweet alliteration… Also, unless a local nerd group puts together a study group or something, I’m just scheduling on a usual Wednesday this 14th. A sexy velour dress would probably not being appropriate … Continue reading Vamp Up Your Valentine’s Day
So I was originally going to blog about prison labor and companies to avoid, but since writing my Beauty Bakerie post, I’ve been reminded that there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism (hard to trace every factor of a product) and trickle-down economics don’t work. Furthermore, the companies benefiting from what’s being called slavery are the usual suspects like Walmart which may be difficult for poor … Continue reading Shop Latinx Wishlist!
Have you heard of Greater Good? They have a network of websites where you can click on a banner that helps generate ad money which goes towards charities dealing with hunger, breast cancer and more. There’s also a plethora of other information like petitions, videos, and news. Throughout their websites is their Gifts That Give More shop that includes donations starting at $0.77! Gifts sound … Continue reading Greater Good Gifts
I can’t believe Prince is gone. I can’t believe Lemonade. So I bought a whole new dress for one of my best friend’s potential baby shower (and even posted about it!) and ended up changing my mind. Ever happen to you? But she was planning to name her baby Violet, so I decided to wear my other dress which is purple. This is an Express dress … Continue reading Purple Rain
Hello readers, I’m at that age where everyone I knew in high school has kids, and now even one of my best friends is pregnant, so I’ll be attending a baby shower! I can’t say I’ve never been to one before as I’m thinking of my many ates, but I know I haven’t been to a wedding (that I remember)(I was a child), so invite me … Continue reading You’ll Plant Olive Trees
Back in January, Sky over at Electric Thrift had this creative post about putting some fashionable tweaks to looks inspired by a professional one might not necessarily think of as such. I liked it so much, I wanted to see if I could create some looks in a similar vein with my closet. It’s not exactly the same; I had the idea of a nerdy librarian … Continue reading Nerdy (Grungy?) Librarian
I was never one to change wardrobes with the season. We could only ever buy when needed, and even now I’ve a hard time justifying buying anything that’s not on sale. But writing for a fashion blog has prompted me to step my game up, so perhaps I can add a few thrift shop pieces per season. This was supposed to be posted a few weeks … Continue reading Thrift Shop Haul & Closet Hopping
If you’re familiar with AMC’s drama Breaking Bad, you may have heard about a Columbian remake called Metastasis. The program began airing in los Estados Unidos this summer and is already in the Bad’s fourth season storylines due to the near-daily new episode format of popular telenovelas. I only know a handful of Spanish (“No son piedras, Maria. Son MINERALES”), but I try to catch as much of the Unimas program as … Continue reading Blogging Bad (Fashion)
