Come Fly With Me

Hello! Please note I've created an album called "Seen In The Stix" with some new additions((located on your right)).  I wore tonight's outfit 2 times in 1 week (gasp!); one time to my writing class & another out on the town last night.  It includes very cool pants that look like they have wings on them.  I got them 8 years ago at a boutique in Saugerties that unfortunately isn't in business anymore.  They are definitely unique.  They remind me of a woman I know (Anastasia) who rocks a very unique style.  I've included her in tonight's blog because she is a major stylista in the stix! (Scroll to bottom to see her pic & outfit info.)

Pants:  Papillon bought from non-existent Saugerties boutique.  I found the brand's website though:  http://www.shoppapillon.com/
Shirt:  Mossimo Supply Company bought from Target a few years ago on clearance.  www.target.com
Sandals:  Restricted bought from Marshalls last summer.  http://www.restrictedshoes.com/
Bag:  Michael Kors bought from Macy's on sale.  www.michaelkors.com or www.macys.com

Anastasia is the principal of the syntax rugrat (thesyntaxrugrat.com)

Outfit info directly copied & pasted from Anastasia herself:

voila!! my favorite friday outfit. white jacket from strawberry. white tank top/leopard pants from h&m. nude heels from payless.

i ditch the heels for pink stilletos, lose the jacket completely--quick turnaround for after work drinks.

earrings from columbia (the costume shop in kingston)... oh yeah!! the guccis. fall 2001 limited edition.



Stop! Spiegel Time.

Happy Friday the 13th!  Well, I got my dancin' shoes on & I'm ready to cut it up at Bard College's Spiegel Tent tonight.  It's a very cool venue that I only was introduced to last summer when I attended "80s Night".  Here's the link http://fishercenter.bard.edu/spiegeltent/2012/



Something about these remind me of 50 Shades...

Shirt:  Express; I wore this in another post & for New Year's Eve.  It's very flattering, especially for us "less endowed" ladies!  www.express.com
Cargos:  Vintage Havana bought from Sorella of Woodstock; they are so cool...casual or dressed up!  http://www.vintagehavana.com/ or www.sorellaofwoodstock.com
Sandals:  Nine West bought from Macy's a few summers ago on sale.  I just posted these.  They are sexy stuff & comfy for dancing, I swear!  www.ninewest.com or www.macys.com
Belt:  No idea what brand this is or where I got it...I'm thinking Strawberry's in the city.  I have had this for over 10 years.  I think it's timeless.  A friend used this (I think as a necklace) when she dressed up as J-Lo for Halloween years ago(Tania!). 
Earrings:  Hand-Me-Down from my momma.  Love!
Bangles:  American Eagle Outfitters bought from Label Shopper in Catskill.  Faux, but fun!  www.ae.com or www.labelshopper.com
Cross-Body Bag:  Coach (as if you couldn't tell with all the Cs!).  I got this from Bloomingdale's with a gift card about 5 years ago.  I fell in the pool with this 2 years ago, & walk my dog with it to carry poopy bags & my cell phone, it is tough!  www.coach.com

Farmers' Market Chic

Hello!  I wore this outfit to the Woodstock Farmers' Market (Wednesdays 4pm).  It was comfortable yet chic.

Maxi Skirt:  Promesa bought from W Couture Boutique in Saugerties.  Soooo soft & cozy!  I could live in it!  Couldn't find a direct website for the brand, but the store's website is:  http://www.wcoutureboutique.com/ and don't forget to like 'em on FB.  They're a great local business!
Tank:  Mossimo Supply Company from Target.  You know I love me some Target, & solid color tanks are great for all year long- either for layering in winter, or to stand alone in summer.  www.target.com
Necklace:  Stella & Dot got at as a gift from my sister.  You've seen it before, it's a major statement piece.  Just went to a party last month.  Got some Christmas gifts already.  Great stuff!  ww.stelladot.com/desieferrentino
Clogs:  No 6 Store got as a gift from my husband.  They have molded to my feet!  www.no6store.com
Bag:  Merona from Target, I think I bought it last summer.  Love this look for summer!  www.target.com

Sea Breeze

Good evening!  I wore this on a double date to Peekamoose Restaurant in Big Indian, NY this passed Saturday night.  What an awesome place.  It's suburban with an urban feel & the food is delish!  Okay, so this dress reminds me of a cool, gentle breeze off of the ocean.  Got it for $3.75 off ebay! 

Dress:  Mossimo at Target bought on ebay for $3.75, pre-owned.  I auction sniped it.  If you don't know what auction sniper is, please contact me.  It's the only way to bid on anything on ebay.  www.target.com or www.ebay.com

Belt:  Not sure, got it with another dress from Marshalls.

Shoes:  Nine West bought at Macy's a few years ago.  LOVE these shoes.  They are my kick a%$ summer heels.  Very sexy.   www.ninewest.com or www.macys.com

Earrings:  Premier Designs got at a jewelry party.  These are great because I can wear them with a fancy dress or jeans.  www.premierdesigns.com

Handbag:  Michael Kors got as a gift from my husband who got it at a consignment store in FL.  www.michaelkors.com

Star Spangled Style

Happy almost 4th of July!  Had to put together a patriotic outfit to celebrate America's birthday.  My hometown of Saugerties goes all out:  parade, rides, booths, & of course, fireworks.  It's always been a big day in my family.  Enjoy!

Dress (belt included):  5th Culture bought from W Couture Boutique in Saugerties.  *New store alert!*  This is an adorable store with affordable prices that has a variety of items from jewelry to clothes to Coach bags.  The owner buys all of her pieces from California, so it's a breath of West Coast.  She is a sweetheart!  www.5thculture.com, www.wcoutureboutique.com
Sandals:  Restricted bought at Marshalls last summer.  They are so comfortable, for real!  I love red shoes.  http://www.restrictedshoes.com/
Hairband:  Goody bought at CVS.  This was in a pack with several other colors.  Probably the only day of the year I would bust it out.  www.goody.com or www.cvs.com
Bracelet:  Premier Designs got from hosting a party.  Not sure if they still make this one, love it though!  http://premierdesigns.com/
Handbag:  Coach got as a gift from my sister-in-law.  I must say, ebay just had a HUGE sale on Coach bags through the outlet store, additional 70% off.  Sign up for ebay!!  www.coach.com
