inspired thrifting x game day

Finally got to goodwill and salvation army yesterday. Did some much needed retail therapy. Also I realized I haven't done an inspired thrifiting post in awhile, so you too must be dying for some good old fashion cheap eye candy.

As always; hope to inspire!

 

 

 

Now on to my lately pick ups. I've noticed lately I've been going towards more basic pieces. Things that I can dress up or down. Depending on where you are standing.

 

And on that note! Maybe it's the fact that fall is right around the corner but sports wear is kind of making itself a massive trend. Jeremy Scott has a couple jersey dresses in his latest collection, Undefeated has a whole Hockey Collection, The band MellowHype did a serious of baseball inspired shirts, and many more. 

I found this top for $0.99, so why not. Right?

   

Top (Salvation Army) $0.99 x Nikes x DIY shorts x earrings (made by my sister) 

5 Things I am in love with.... Right now.

5. Two Kools

Karen at Where Did U Get That is one my fashion icons and she started a new blog about couples with great fashion in New York.

4. Bill Cunningham New York

I've always been a huge fan of him and his photos in the New York Style section but seeing the documentary made me love him even more. (Check it out on Netflix Instant Queue)

3. Cris Cab - Echo Boom

The newest act on Pharrell's new label "i am OTHER" It's a great mixtape and Cris has a really interesting reggae/R&B sound. Great for the lonely hearts of February. Download here.

2. The Oscars

It's red carpet season but the holy grail is the oscars.

1. Jeremy Scott Fall 2012

Only Jeremy Scott can bring back Lisa Frank and teenage dreams. Mr Scott can do no wrong. And everyone knows my (self proclaimed) spirit animal is a unicorn.

Hearing Wedding Bells (in sneakers)

For those who know me I am a very strange hopeless romantic. I can be a sap one moment then someone who find true love a total joke. For right now I find love and anything sightly romantic sicking.

(I go through many phases.)

However, yesterday I went to my dear friend's wedding: Maya & Ela!! First off, it was the sweetest wedding ever! It was so gross how much love their was. Best part about the wedding was that both brides (Yes, BOTH BRIDES. Gotta love a gay marriage :) wore sneakers. So they wanted everyone to dress it up however they want. So I of course showed up wearing this fantastic outfit:

I felt like an 80's barbie.

Shoes - (Gift) Jeremy Scott ADIDAS

Tights - (Nordstrom Rack) $4.00

Dress - (St. Vincent De Paul) $5.00

Congrats Maya & Ela! You guys have become my closet friends. I love you both. I hate how much in love you guys are but it makes me believe in love again. I wish you too nothing but the best.

New York Fashion Week: Jeremy Scott Fall 2011

Let it be known I am a sucker for Jeremy Scott. Love, love, LOVE him. A lot of people find him to be loud, bright, too much, insane, and unconventional. Too me, that's a list of reasons too love him. His 2011 Spring collection was truly amazing and fresh, taking average everyday items, signs, and symbols and blowing them up into something new and fresh. His creativity stuns me. He can do runway, watches, evening wear, street wear, and even sneakers.

I am actually a very lucky girl because I own a pair of his winged adidas shoes. (Pictured below)

Here is his latest collection. I am not crazy about it but I am loving the superman-retro 50's-skeleton-sweet sweaters-glitter-light bright show. Scott is fun and playful, his models have make up I would do when I was 5 and playing with my mother's make-up.
