Current Obsessions

IMG_9923This outfit is basically comprised of all my current fashion obsessions. So let’s break it down:

- headbands. they’re the perfect day 6 greasy hair concealer and it’s an easy way to add another pattern to your outfit. which i am always for.

- chambray. duh. this is one of those trends that I don’t give a rip and a half if it goes out of style, i will continue to wear it. chambray is just so easy to style.

- maxi skirts. this skirt has been my best spring purchase so far. I’ve worn it more times that I have shown on this blog but here’s two other ways to style it 1 and 2

- jesus sandals. i love these strappy sandals and hi hello they’re leopard? perfect. I will be continuously wearing them this summer

New Hairs

Good morning lovers!

So I put my extensions back in. I went four months without them this time, which was a nice break, but I love having the length back! It’s just so much easier to fix. You can read my extension FAQ post here!

I also ombred the ends a little and I love it! Now I’ve got my ombre hair, big sunglasses, my muscle tees, and my maxis skirts. I’m ready for you Spring! Now where the heck are you?!IMG_9131 IMG_9142 IMG_9162 IMG_9171 IMG_9237 IMG_9314target sunnies//forever 21 necklace// target tank// forever 21 jacket// lularoe maxi c/o// target wedge tennis shoes.

I just realized this outfit is made up primarily of Target and F21. I am not ashamed.

Weekend Uniform

IMG_8851

If I had to describe my usual weekend attire, this would be it. A comfy tee that I wear entirely too often, a pair of ripped of jeans, cute flats, and a scarf. While I absolutely adore dresses, and I naturally choose heels in almost any situation, this is what I feel most comfortable in.

Can we discuss this Agate necklace for a minute? Like I mentioned yesterday, I’m utterly obsessed with the stoner jewelry trend (my term, I have no idea what the official one is). This Gage Huntley one is so totally perfect for my style, I can throw it on with just about anything and my outfit automatically looks way cooler.

It’s Monday, a witty post title should go here.

 

Good morning friends!

WHEW! This last week and weekend has been a humdinger! Just busy busy busy, all the time. I like it, but on the other hand I do enjoy my sleep!

a rambling fancy

I wore this to work a few weeks ago and while it’s probably a bit more casual than my office requires, I really liked it a lot. From the stares that I got as I went down the hallway I don’t believe that everyone agreed with me, but hey what can you do? I liked it, and that’s what matters!a rambling fancy a rambling fancy IMG_6808 a rambling fancy a rambling fancytarget camo tee (men’s section)//Free People crochet vest (hand me down)// Style Lately bull necklace c/o// 7th & West star necklace c/o// Evie J boutique bracelets c/o// Lucky ring// Forever 21 skirt, previously worn here// Target booties

Pet Peeves

A Rambling Fancy

“What is your pet peeve” is a common question that I never have an answer for.

I’d like to think it’s because I’m such an easy going gal, nothing ever really “peeves me”.

But no I think it’s probably more to do with the fact that I have the shortest memory ever and I tend to forget what I was mad about. I might get fantastically irritated about something but I probably won’t remember what it was ten minutes later.

Style Lately, Evie J and 7th & West jewelry on A Rambling Fancy So the other night I was at home and I suddenly came into contact with the peevest of peeves. I was so peeved I slapped a collar on that thing and called it Spike for it was my Pet Peeve. I even wrote a note on my phone so I’d remember what it was, should I ever be questioned on my list of peeves. Does anyone else ever write themselves notes on their phones? My note list would probably get me sent to a mental institution, it makes very little sense and isn’t any where grammatically correct. But I digress.A Rambling Fancy

I wrote down my Peeve so that I would remember what it was because I was so annoyed, it was surely my Pettest of Peeves. So I’m sharing it here with you, for historical documentation:

My Pet Peeve is running a nice hot bath only to step in and realize all the hot water is gone.

A Rambling Fancy

Have you ever done this? Murder. Murder was on my mind. If there had been any living organism at home to strangle, I might have done it. Instead I contented myself with slapping a towel around a bit, but it didn’t really ease my frustrations.A Rambling Fancy

There is surely nothing worse in the world than taking the time to run a bath, busying yourself while the tub fills by imagining that gorgeous steamy water, picking out the perfect book to accompany you, getting your best lotions and maybe a candle or two ready for the soak, and then going to step in and the water be luke warm. The Rambler via A Rambling Fancy

Luke warm water is the worst feeling EVER. My skin starts to crawl, my innards start to curdle, and all I want to do is scream loudly and profanically (not a word but in this situation I feel a made up word is called for)

A Rambling Fancy

I utterly REFUSE to take a tepid bath but unfortunately no amount of fluffy towels or warm fires can replace the dignity you lost when you placed your foot into that shameful tub. You feel silly for the rest of the evening, blowing out candles, shoving the lotion back in the cabinet. but the worst, THE WORST, is submerging your hand in that disgusting water to let the tub out.

I do believe the best words to describe my feelings are from God himself, since the Bible does say, “But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!”

Exactly. PET PEEVE.

You’re on my List, Turkey

Hello friends! Happy Monday!

Or not.

Sunday afternoon I got out of church and received a barrage of mailer demon notices. IMG_6200

What’s so HILARIOUS about these notices is that I never sent anything. Some lovely citizen of Turkey had hacked into my account and sent just about every single person who had ever contacted me via email a spam letter. IMG_6202

Of course Yahoo sends me a notice of this activity…after it happened. Thanks for that Yahoo, I figured out that someone had hacked my account when I logged in and saw the 300 sent emails for Sunday that I never sent.  IMG_6205 forever 21 top//H&M pants//Target belt//Guess heels

So if you received an email from me, I apologize. If you’d like to contact me to chew me out or to offer condolences, my new email is aramblingfancyblog{at}gmail{dot}com. I’m currently working on removing my life from yahoo and transferring it to gmail. Turkey and Yahoo: I think you owe me Starbucks.

 

 

Two is Better than One

Good morning friendels!

So I was given an opportunity to style another dress from Eshakti! (first post here)

This time I decided to go all out on their customizable options. I chose the London dress with the Dahlia crinoline, but I chopped the sleeves off, lowered the neckline, and shortened the length. I love that you have the option to customize a dress with Eshakti. It makes each piece totally one of a kind.

I thought both pieces were just so cute, I had to style them as separate outfits! Get ready for picture mother flippin overload.

Option #1: The London Dress

Happy Monday friendels!

It’s super dreary and rainy today and therefor my brain is not working, so I shall leave you with these profound thoughts:

- Rose Gold leatherette pants. YES. The universe just became that much more awesome.

- There is a buffalo on my hand. Yes there is. Why you ask? Why NOT is what I say.

- I bought some coconut oil to try out. Not for cooking, never for cooking, but for my hairs and bodily items. It’s pretty fantastic. I shall share more of my thoughts later this week.

YAY for leaving your umbrella at work when it’s flooding! Everyone say “ugly hair”!

 

Hey We’re Still Alive!

Target Hat// Old Navy coat// Forever 21 Top// Pacsun pants// Forever 21 chelsea boots

Welp it’s Friday the 21st and we’re all still alive! I guess the Mayans got it wrong. Or maybe they just ran out of rock, who knows.

The point is that the world didn’t end which means I can now truly enjoy the good things in life. Like these boots. Have I told you of my deep love for Chelsea boots? I absolutely adore boots and these slightly ugly yet equally quirky Chelsea boots are just darling. ( Chelseas are tight fitting ankle boots distinguished by the elastic band on the sides rather than a zipper.  For those that are confused. Come on guys, get with the program).

These are on sale, these have a darling color block effect to them, and these are currently starring in my wildest dreams.

Are you in love now as well? Yes. I knew you would be.

Merry {early} Christmas! I won’t be back until after the Big Guy visits, so have a wonderful holiday, hug your loved ones extra tight, and remember what this season is really about.
