Lately...

Tis the season to be a white girl...

Falalalalalalala

Ugh so mad that this pic is blurry!

But these rings were all from Old Navy and under $25!

Sweet kitty, Sylvia.

I can't get her to wear her cat bow-tie.

:(

Yogi skin detox tea from the Golden Temple and a smudge stick from Beans, Books and Candles to relax a bit. :)

Got this wood slab from urban to add some levels to my kitchen table.

Lately...

Starred as a silent nurse in a video I wrote for work!

Went to Auburn's homecoming!

Too obsessed with crystals right now... this gold ombre crystal slice is from Kinnucan's in Auburn.

Also got some Ouija and tarot candles for Halloween!

Two classics: black Free People trapeze slip and gold Madewell arrowstack necklace

What I Wore: Lucky Brand Clogs

so I found a brand new pair of these Lucky Brand clog mules at Plato's Closet for $20 the other day and I'm obsessed.

I really love Lucky Brand.  Their jeans are so-so for me, usually the inseam is way too long (I have to stick to Gap for lengths that flatter me), but I love the bags, jewelry, motorcycle t-shirts, and overall boho style a lot.  

And clogs are making the best comeback.  I remember wearing them when I was in elementary school in the 90s/early 2000s, and loving them then.  People often scoff at some of the 90s comebacks, but I embrace it, even though during the 90s, 70s styles were reappearing, so essentially a lot of the so-called 90s throwback fashion is mostly 70s boho.

You might've seen my black Dr. Scholl's flatform leather clog sandals in a previous post, and I wear those a lot.  But I love the high heel on these for a completely different look.  

Plus, I saw a picture of Stevie Nicks wearing a pair just like these in an old picture from the 70s.

So this is what I wore to brunch yesterday (it was so hot outside!), sorry for the messy room.

Fashion Inspiration: Stevie Nicks

I suppose since I featured Misty Day in last week’s inspiration post, it’s only fitting to post about her inspiration, Stevie Nicks.

I couldn't agree more!

During the Fleetwood Mac era, Nicks came to the forefront with her billowy outfits, daring mixture of textures and patterns, layers, platform boots, and sequins.

Definitely an advocate for velvet

And big, floppy sun-hats 

Even today, it seems that Nicks' iconic style is constantly imitated, with seventies throwbacks featured in any Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, or Free People store.

Her style is constantly evolving, from bohemian outfits, to flashy stage ensembles resembling a "white witch."

Style Inspiration: Misty Day, American Horror Story: Coven

Last year, Ryan Murphy introduced the best (in my opinion) season of American Horror Story: Season 3, Coven (on FX).  While I was giddy at all of the girl power and witchery, the show ultimately left me with the most perfect style icon that I could ask for.

Misty Day, portrayed by AHS veteran, Lily Rabe, is an isolated, necromancing, country swamp witch who idolizes Stevie Nicks. (How could you not?!)

Misty demonstrating the Stevie Nicks "shawl twirl"

For being stuck in the woods in hiding most of her life, she developed some impeccable fashion sense, with wild, curly hair, dramatic smokey eyes, and drapey bohemian garb coupled with seventies Wicca.  A lot of her wardrobe is easily recognized as Free People (I worked at Urban Outfitters in college, don’t judge).  She obviously takes notes from Nicks' style, but with a more practical, effortless modern flair that fits a boho Southern nomad.

I found some pretty cool inspiration collages online while hopelessly wishing I could afford to mimic her.

This is for sure one of my favorite collages.  The floral kimono is to DIE for.  I bought a tie-dye one from Urban Outfitters a few weeks, ago and I've been wearing it a ton lately.  But I found cheaper floral versions on F21.com and Target.com that I'm contemplating ordering soon.

And where would AHS: Coven be without black hats and maxi dresses?  I got mine from Free People and Urban Outfitters.  And I've been wearing clogs instead of boots to combat Alabama's summer heat.  But Jeffery Campbell buckle ankle boots compliment this look well.

Misty's look can be achieved through a lot of dark colors and earth tones, and LOTS of layering.  You'll never see her without a few necklaces and rings, and her look is completed by a floral, fringe kimono or shawl.

The American flag scarf (UrbanOutfitters.com) made appearances throughout the season.  I'm dying over the navy velvet incorporation here.

Misty is definitely a turquoise fanatic like myself.  I've been using a lot of my grandmother's vintage pieces (from a previous post) in my outfits.

If you can't tell from the watermark, this photo was retrieved from http://WornOnTV.com/.  The kimono is an Urban Outfitters piece that is currently out of stock :(

Throughout the series, Misty incorporated daring pieces to her ensemble; a top hat or a sequined cropped top.  

There's a sheer maxi-skirt just like this on Target.com, btw.

Misty usually opts for lace-up boots instead of Nicks' trademark platforms, and I always love a good boot-sock.  I'm still currently searching for a wide corselet-style belt like one of the ones she wears.

Found this image on http://ShopYourTV.com/.

Definitely one of my favorite outfits.  This Free People dress is complimented perfectly by the statement belt.  I'm in love.
