Accccesssorriieessss!

So, it was definitely an interesting past couple of weeks. I had more luck with accessories this time around than clothes. The accessories below are from Chicago but I posted so pics I took in L.A. as well. The only thing I bought in L.A. was some shoes but I'll post them later with an outfit!
From Francesca's.


H&M.

Forever 21! The store there is huge, it's insane.

H&M ( I think this is my favorite!

Fire hydrants in Beverly Hills are silver.

Too bad it was a rainy day but still cool nevertheless.

Merry Christmas!

Well, somethings wrong with my camera and the pictures are not showing up very well. This outfit is so much cuter than it seems. The black pencil skirt is from the new designer at Target and makes my booty look really nice! This shirt is from Old Navy and the tights are from, well. probably Target. Not very Christmas-y but it looks really nice and the pinks tights make it seems less, monotone?

These are the new rain boots my parents got me. It's kinda hard to see but they have black, white,and gray stripes covering them. The got them from this store in Chicago called Filenes.

Here are some dangly earrings I got for Christmas last year from Francesca's. It makes my usual pony tail look seem less boring.

Here's a short video of my record player playing Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf. You can hear me talking in the background and you don't have to watch the whole thing!

So, I think this is one of the worst posts I've done in a while but I'm short on time and wanted to put something up!

Have an AWESOME Christmas and Happy New Year!

Epic Gingerbread Houses (trixie)

Since it's almost time to make the annual gingerbread house, I thought I would post some inspiration for this year's design. The last one is my favorite!

ANTM Finale (trixie)

I just finished watching the finale of America's Next Top Model Cycle 15, and I am so happy because...Ann won!!!!! I think she will be a superb high fashion model. The runner up was Chelsey; she was my second pick because I admire how much she has worked to make it in the fashion world. The only aspect about this season that I did not like was that the models participated in a Vogue Italia cover shoot rather than a Seventeen cover shoot; I understand that this season was especially geared toward high fashion, but I am disappointed because I am not able to buy the magazine Ann will be featured in. Here is a picture of both Ann (right) and Chelsey (left).

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!
