I Can't even Think of a Catchy Title....

What do you think of the new background for our blog? I'm not sure about it; I think it's too big and I was trying to think of a good background picture that would describe the essence of Trixie and Dixie and couldn't quite come up with anything. So, feel free to change it. Today's post has absolutely no point; it's just stuff I find interesting.

Oh yes, I decided to break these bad boy socks out today!
I think this would look so cool in a house.

If I go to prom, I'd totally wear my hair like this; it's so pretty.

I'm not really an art person but stuff like this just seems really cool.

I like performance art like (above and below). These were contortionists who were running all over the city and posing in positions like these. So awesome!

Last minute things (in case you didn't know).

Good news: I got into UTK! Woo hoo!

Bad news: Davis Kidd is closing in December. :(

Capes! (trixie)

This sounds weird, but I really want to wear a cape! A lot of people think they look frumpy, but I believe capes are unique and interesting. Here are two that have caught my eye. The red one is from Top Shop and the other cape is from Ruche. What is your opinion about this outwear?

The One I've Been Waiting For..........

I've been on the hunt for boots like these for awhile now and I finally found them at Macys! I actually first found them online so I kept waiting for them to be in stores and they finally are! My dad thinks they look like WWII combat boots. He somehow always manages to make historical references about my clothing!

So, this outfit is a lot cuter than it appears but it's a navy blue dress from Target (a long time ago), worn with a yellow Rachel Roy Sweater, and the boots are Steve Madden.
I love this silver pin from H&M! I had to clip it on! It's hard to tell but the straps of this dress are hearts!

Hope you enjoyed the quick post!

More Appreciation for the 90s!

I don't know if you've noticed but there's been a definite 90s/grunge reemergence. At first, I didn't quite like it but like most things, it grew on me. I'm liking the sloppy, not completely pulled together look. Besides the rugged boots I've already shown my love for on here; I'm also liking the messy hair, over sized sweaters,etc. It just looks comfortable and not difficult to deal with!

I really love Courtney Love's look (haha)! The messy blonde hair and bright red lips just stand out so well and she works it. She was part of a band called Hole in the late 90s early 2000s. My favorite song by her, which I can't stop listening to, is called Celebrity Skin.
This is a picture of the whole band Hole.

Awe. This is Kurt Cobain. Lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana. He sadly ended his life but not before putting out some chart-toppers, most well-known being, Smells Like Teen Spirit. He was also married to Courtney Love.

This is Marc Jacobs take on grunge.

Sadly, like most trends now days, this one will come and go quickly but I still have to thank it for leading me to discover new things about the 90s!

A more interesting post should be coming later this week!

Outfit Post! (trixie)

Last weekend, I wore this outfit while touring at Wake Forest. The sweater (Anthropologie) and skirt (Urban Outfitters) have been mentioned in previous posts. The shirt is really a tunic/dress from Forever 21 that I tucked into the skirt, and the shoes are from Target. Also, I just finished a really good book for my English class called The Water is Wide by Pat Conroy. It was a really interesting read because it is partly set in Beaufort, South Carolina- one of my favorite vacation spots. Here is some background information on it and a brief summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Water_Is_Wide_%28book%29

Cheers TO TARGET!

I've recently found some pretty cool things at Target. This is the outfit I wore to volunteer today and it was quite comfy!

Shirt dress is from Anthropologie.
I was sooooo excited when I found out the popular (and expensive) brand Mulberry was doing a collection of purses for Target. I hurried out today and bought myself this awESOME
purse!
These leggings are also from Target; while I'm normally a tights person, I thought the zippers on the side were creative and cute! Shoes are from Macy's: Steve Madden.
