1st Visit to Urban Outfitters (trixie)

I went shopping at Urban Outfitters for the first time on Saturday and found that I LOVE the store. It exceeded my expectations because I thought that the clothes at the store seemed a lot more chic and unique than those on the website. I bought this really cute skirt from the Urban Renewal brand. The picture below shows the skirt I purchased but in a different color- mine is black and white and is similar to the outfit featured in the second picture from an issue of Teen Vogue.

Some New Stuff!

I've been wanting to go shopping for awhile now and I found this great loose striped top at Anthropologie. I love this outfit, it's so comfortable and will easily transition with a scarf for fall!

This is a necklace courtesy of my friend, Lauren, from TopShop.

I did this closeup because before you couldn't completely tell the shirt was navy blue stripes!
Not the most exciting post ever but I just wanted to share my finds!

Fashion for less!

I was reading one of my favorite blogs: www.johannagoddard.blogspot.com and she posted the sweater below as being great to go with skinny jeans. I completely agree! It looks so cute and comfortable I immediately had to have it. Well, I discovered that spending $129.90 on a sweater is not what I had in mind so, I snooped around other sites to see if I could find something similar but cheaper and here's what I came up with!

129.90!!

urban outfitters $68.00

forever 21 $19.80

urban outfitters $48.00

forever 21 $12.50

anthropologie $88.00

I plan on going shopping this weekend so look forward to a post about my finds!

trixie's in love!

I bought the latest issue of Teen Vogue today and found that the magazine includes an article featuring young actors. One of them is an 18 year old named Tyler Posey- I recognized him because he played one of the main characters on an old tv show i used to watch called Doc (the show was about a small town doctor (Billy Ray Cyrus) who had to adjust to city life after moving to New York City). I was totally taken aback when I saw the picture of him because now...he's HOT!!!!! Below is a picture of Tyler. Fun Fact: he almost got the role of Jacob Black in the Twilight series but obviously lost to Taylor Lautner.

Let's Go to the Fair!

So, the state fair is FINALLY coming to town this weekend and I am supAH excited! Apparently this is the last year they are having it which makes me sad but I would be at college this time next year anyway!
So, I was trying to decide what my idea of the perfect fair outfit would be and I just kept getting fifties inspired outfits in my mind!

I found this pretty red shirt at www.fredflare.com

I thought this cross-body bag would make for perfect carrying while running around and riding rides. Found at www.topshop.com

I thought this was a cute fifties-styled skirt while also long enough that (hopefully) I'll be "properly" covered while riding rides! Found at www.modcloth.com

Cute. Comfortable. Matches.

Trixie, don't you have these?? :)

Found at www.toms.com

I am soooo excited! I can't wait to get some fried oreos! Yes, I know that sounds bad but not as bad as fried Twinkies or fried sticks of butter (apparently at some Texas state fair)!

I'm out!

Fall Boot Trend

So, I think I've mentioned before that I'm loving this season's fall boot trends. They all have that rugged-look while still being high heels. These are some of my favorites.




Steve Madden

Urban Original


This is a mixture of boots from a Teen Vogue article.


This is Gap's new line of boots. I like the top left and bottom right (same shoes) one the best!

Also, go to YouTube and check out the trailer for the upcoming movie Easy A, I really want to see it.

p.s. Trixie, I've somehow messed up the settings on our blog. Now when your doing a post, the pictures don't show up below, you have to go to preview in the upper right corner and its not letting me put websites in. I don't know what I did to mess it up!! I'm sorry and hope schools going well! :)
