Top-of-the-Head-Bunaphobic

While at the Pasadena flea market this weekend I was confronted by a phobia of mine, yes I am a self diagnosed top-of-the-head-bunaphobic. Please let us leave this fad far behind and never return to this "style", if you can even call it that. Now I think it is perfectly fine to wear a bun on the back of you're head, it is a quick, easy and clean hair style. But please do not torment us any longer with your, and lets be honest, laziness. Top of the head buns drive me mental and I cannot support or even condone them any more. If you can't think of another hair style use GOOGLE! We live in a time where we can easily and quickly access information about anything, just find another less irritating hair style. I was going to post an example of this ever so popular top of the head bun but unfortunately my brain vomits every time I see this done, so I decided to spare my brain from having to endure that.

The Hour

So I have been known to became quit obsessed with TV programs and my for a little bit now I have been very into The Hour. Its about a news crew in 1950s and of course there is mystery, affairs, and plenty of drama. I was very said to see that BBC has decided it will not return for a third season but alas that tends to be my luck. But the show, because it is set in the 1950s, has wonderful costumes that quit look like many of the clothes in my closet. So I thought the show deserved a post for the extraordinary actors and so I can drool over the costumes/hair/era.

Romola Garai

The world needs more shows set in the 1950s.

Simple & Casual Fall Outfit

Fall is upon us and here in California it is hot! I am waiting for the windy and rainy weather to begin but for now I will just pretend that we are having normal seasons. For the simple, casual fall outfit I got a cute plaid shirt, some nice grey jeans, and my super awesome red hair!

I love dressing in flamboyant things but I also enjoy simple cute clothes that show my style but are again very simple. I dont get to wear brand new clothes everyday, so I have had learn how to wear things multiple times and still make it work and each piece of this outfit is great for that!

So that's about it for this post and before a bid you good bye I must show off my prized possession...(drum roll) yes, its my hair!

Rosie The Riveter Costume

I have taken it upon myself to list two really awesome and fun Halloween costumes and how to go about making them become a reality for your Halloween celebrations! The first is of course a very classic and easy costume that is extremely iconic. As a rockabilly chick I always use this as a back up costume simply because I know I already have everything I need and its really pretty much my everyday style. That said it is a super fun, cute and easy costume to pull together and pull off! 

Here is Rosie herself!

 Here are some Rosie the Riveter costumes

These women are rockin the Rosie style, now here is what you need to pull this costume off!

First thing you need is a red and white polka dotted bandana or scarf, as you can see a few of our aspiring Rosie's used different patterns but I am going to be working of the poster.

Vintage Style Head Scarf on Etsy I am in love with this head scarf it is perfect for a Rosie costume!

Scarf from Ebay this scarf has a lot of length but it would work great, I like having a lot of fabric to tie in my hair!

Sgt. Peppers And A Baby Shower

Fall is finally beginning to set in and I for one am thrilled! So just to prepare your minds you better be getting yourselves ready to see my fall fashion! 

This week I was invited to a baby shower(yay!) and the theme for the baby shower was Moroccan/Japanese/Chinese/Thia. I immediately started racking my brain on what to wear and it wasn't long before I the perfect thing came to mind. 

I got this AMAZING jacket/dress thing thats very Sgt. Peppers album/1960s inspired, if you dont know that album well shame on you and I wont tell you, google it! 

So I pieced it together with a pair of pretty rocking tights and my scarf with the great wave painted on it. I also wore it with nude heels, I'm not so much into trendy fashion but nude heels really are a must have for me now.

 Sgt. Peppers 

All in all it worked out perfectly! I was so pleased and the baby shower was delightful. 

Lastly I want to share my latest song obsession! Here it is

Chevron Print & A Bunny

Guess who's back?! Me! Its been ages so please excuse me but I am back and ready to rock and roll, so here it goes!

I went to Fresno, CA. a few weeks ago and while I was there I vised a thrift store called Yoshi NOW! and it was fantastic! I purchased a white/navy chevron print dress and a military jacket(I will post about that later). I was so impressed by the sheer amount of beautiful vintage items they carried. If you ever find yourself in Fresno stop by, you will not regret it! 

I also have some exciting news to share! A bunny has been added to our family over the past two weeks. Her name is Harvey(After the bunny in the movie Harvey) and she is adorable!

My outfit today is my white/navy chevron dress, white tights, red shoes. For my hair I just simply twisted back the two front sides of my hair and my bangs are growing out so I just twisted those on top!

The chickens were out playing when I took these photo's, their names are Cora, Civil, Mary and Edith

(Yes, all after Downton Abbey characters).

When evening came I threw on a plain black pea coat.

Me and Harvey! 

She's a sweet heart!

Putting Harvey away.

Ahhhh.... its good to be back!

Rooftops & Sublime

I went to visit my grandfather, grandmother, and some cousin last night at Avila beach in California. When we got there it was packed and we were informed there was a Sublime concert about to take place on the golf course. When we arrived at there hotel room we realized not only did their balcony overlook the concert but if you hopped over the rail you would be on the roof and get even closer. So I spent a good chunk of the evening sitting on the rooftop listening to Sublime.

 Okay yes I did my hair the same as my I Love Lucy Style post. The rest is just a little skirt I found at the thrift store and a black sweater.

I Love Lucy Style

I was browsing netflix watch instant list and came across a movie that was dramatized version of Lucille Ball's life. I watched a similar one when I was younger about Buddy Holly, it was called The Buddy Holly Story, it was fantastic and I highly recommend it! I watched the Lucille Ball film, it was called simply Lucy. At first I was unimpressed but I quickly became enthralled with her life story. 

Lucille Ball is such an inspiration not only in fashion but also in her personal life.  

Her relationship with Desi Arnaz is fascinating as well, again it is a dramatized version of her life so not everything happened word for word like in the film but the core problems it deals with are very credible.

 

 

At the end of the film I found my favorite recurring element of Lucy's style was her scarfs!So I decided to do a bit of a Lucille Ball homage in this post.

I finished out the day by going to farmers market and the geek in me couldn't help but buy a Doctor Who shirt while I was down there!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
