manic monday..(i wish it were sunday..)



airwaves: the beautiful ones - prince "i may not know where im goin baby, i may not know what i need, but one thing, one thing's for certain babe, i know what i want, yeah and if itd PLEASE ya baby PLEASE ya baby..id beg you down on my KNEES cuz i want YOU" (i know thats long but its my favorite part..and this is undoubtedly my favorite song by Prince..its the story of my freakin life..*sigh*)

today is a double feature yo. me and jarie went thrifting yestderday after threee loonnng wweeeekksss, and thank God i wound up only spending twelve dollars on some LOOT. sooo to show you all my own personal taste and the way i roll, i decided to put a few things on Luxey and Vicki so you all could see my own personal taste and how cheap i TRULY am...so, its a pit

stop and a car pool..all in one! enjoy

yes my mannequins have tramp stamps...so what?

Luxe's first look is simple, but i like it, pair it with a pumps, flats, wedges, vans, etc..its a simple safari dress but look how versatile it is, and the collar is white on the bottom, and in the land of us people who shop at Brooks Brothers, a popped collar is STILL a good look.

safari dress - 1.00 Village Discount Outlet
pink belt - 1.00 Value Village (Atlanta, GA)
green necklace-madre's jewelry box

Sisters

This is Luxe's 2nd look, and i looove it. the highwaisted vintage jumper was truly a find
Black Highwaisted skirt jumper - .75 VDO
Blue Blouse - .90 VDO
Pink Belt - .45 VDO

and who doesnt love a racerback?!
the floaty sleeves also have a very feminine effect that i love

Introducing..Victoria Karen

This dress caught me off gaurd, there was this weird covering over it, it really looked like a box with a sheet over it and my first thought was "who the heck would design this?" but i really loved the soft fabric and the flowers so i just opted to take of the covering and do a little construction so it could be a simple tunic with a blousant sleeve... so i took it home to try it on and lo and behold..this is what i saw..

Magnolia print dress - 1.00 VDO
Pink necklace - 2.00 VV

i love an off the shoulder dress, even though this one wasnt made like this
im going to custom it and do as such..
(you know i can never do anything the right way..)

needless to say...i wont be doing anything else to it..
the sheath turned out to be a kind of self belt and
allows the top of the dress to blouse out so it kindve
looks like something else, all in all...i heart it.

This next one i know a lot of you wont understand...and im okay with that. Its DIRECTLY from the seventies and looks like a cross between the partridge family, the brady bunch,...and blacksploitation movies. but i LOVE it, it reminds me of how my mother was and everything that she is now, even though im usually not a fan of halter tops, this dress threw me for a loop, i love the print, i love the structure, and i just plain love it. i cant wait to pick my afro out this summer, load up my arms with bangles, and give you a mean gladiator sandal. ohhh yes.

70s halter dress - 2.00 VDO
green necklace - .60 VDO

i heart heart heart the back of this...and yes, i DO plan on going bra-less
LIBERATE YOURSELVES!!

A partridg in a pear tree.

what an EXCELLENT day...

keep in mind you dont have to like everything i like..i will still love you regardless of your lack of good taste, ha! only kidding lambs..you know my heart belongs to you first and foremost!

mama's house

and we dont take no poppin off at the mouth..

airwaves: I'm talkin' bout you - chuck berry

"let me tell you bout a girl I know..."

lambs! are you still here? ....ill take that as a yes! Today new segment numero two drops and im REALLY excited about it. its basically a feature about me but then again..it isnt! Okay lemme jump right into it...did you know im a mother? yes. i have three wooooonderful children. There names are Luxe Lourdes, Victoria Karen, and Yves Carlisle.

Bi-weekly i'll be showcasing if not all, then atleast one of my beloveds for you to see and, essentially, judge. It's called "CARPOOL" If by now you dont understand what i mtalking about ill make it clearer, i own three mannequins. yes. i know its hard for people to obtain just one, and figure out where to get them from but lucky me, i have three. two girls and a boy.

i got them with every intention of using them to customize my dresses and pants, etc etc, but i came up with the idea that when i wasnt using them for work, they would simply be decoration for my loft. which is what they are:) I know this might seem strange but it makes so much sense to me, they all have separate personalities but represent different aspects of my own personal taste, Luxe, the youngest, is my wild side, sometimes urban hipster, sometimes urban hippy, but in all ways, shes a direct representation of me and my varying sense of style, Victoria, the middle child, is much more classic, but at the same time quite modern, she represents the Olivia Palermo in me and the sense of being ladylike on a day to day basis.

Yves is somewhat of a showcase, he represents all the things i look for in a man (so pay close attention fellas) and they way he would dress, the epitome of versatility, but its a bit harder to dress Yves considering im not a boy..nor do i wear pants so, we just have to make do:) today im just featuring luxey because i was lazy and didnt get vicki dressed, so leave comments and tell me what you thinks.

Uniform Info:
red and white striped dress -2.00 VDO
black/cream cowl neck cardigan-169.00 Ralph Lauren

if you know me you know how much i LOVE the summer and everything in
relation to it, this ensemble makes me think of beaches and sunglasses

and how much im ready for july 1 to get here...

in case youre wondering why i put the red belt on this dress its simple.
because its simple. sometimes i like to match, not too much however, it takes away from the creativity of what this outfit could look like.

simple black and white sweater for the evening

green necklace for just a splash of extra color.

ciao, sal.
