What do you think?

I feel like it's time. Time you ask you all, my readers, what you think. Would you like to see more fashion stuff? Close ups of purses and shoes. Perhaps weekly make-up/hair post. I really want to start a "Top Tunes Tuesday". I usually have a few favorite songs through out the week and they just stick in my head till a new one pops in. I think it was be a fun mix up into everything. I really want to know what you think! More tattoo posts? I could do one a week and probably not run out by the rate Ill get them haha.

I will be selling vintage on here very soon though! Also some jewelery. Im in the process of shopping a little bit more and then getting photos of everything.

I hope everyone is having a great week, and I get some good suggestions! I love you all!!!

I can feel change in the wind.

Hello all my lovely readers! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a good start to the week! Ive been working a lot and trying to stay out of trouble. It has been raining a lot lately and the humility has been bananas high too. I had a quick moment of nice weather so I popped outside in a cute little number.

Right after this was waken I lost my balance lol, the timer caught a good one though.

The wind was blowing a lot. I feel like change is in the air. I need to change with it. I want so much for myself and I feel like Im at a shift right now. I dont know exactly where things are going just yet, but I seem to be putting things together. Re-evaluating things, tastes in style, music, hair. I feel like its building up right now and when things change its all going to come together. Im going to Boston soon, and I love Boston. Honestly if I got offered a job there I might stay lol. Well, Id think about it. I feel like Im growing up a little bit more and feeling a bit more independent lately. Slowly but surely a new Lovely Leigh will emerge and all the old will be shed off. More fashions! New ideas for posts! I really want to have a regular post or item of the week thing. Im really going to buckle down more and get into blogging and find the balance between work and "my" work.

Come see the tattooed Lady!

I got to have some fun today and play dress up! I love finding old vintage dance costumes and I found this one 2 years ago around Halloween. I played some music and was dancing around outside, though it was insanely hot out!

I was just playing around when I took these last night. I took some pictures of some clothing Im going to be selling and one thing led to another and I took these for fun. I have been trying to get on Lookbook.nu for a few months now and I guess you need an invite. So I have emailed them and still nothing. I keep trying though. One day!

All in all things have been great. Now the art show is over Ive just been catching up on emails and phone calls. Getting back into the norm of things. Blogging, editing pictures, taking new ones, ect... I can feel things have slowed down and its so nice, I was going balls to the walls there at one point. On my birthday (The 11th) I had my arm worked on. I just wanted to show you what I got filled in. It looks so nice have my sleeve capped off at my shoulder now.

The whole sleeve is coming along nicely. Tattoo by Angelo Nales at Redletter1 in Ybor.

Lovely Leigh's Art Show! On Friday the 13th!

So Ive been off the radar for a bit as Im sure you've all noticed. I had been preparing for my art show I was having at my house. It finally happened and it was a huge success! I had bought 9 gallons of PBR too, and we drank it all! Thanks to Rachel, Katie and Kienan for being apart of it too! So much planning went into this, I put a lot of hard work on making this a great show and everyone left happy. We even played Candy Land, Perfection and Uno, while the Sailor Jerry movie Hori Smoku was on in the living room and Floor was on the computer. I was so surprised how many people turned out. I was very glad to see a lot of people in the house. Some friends from Winners even came out!

Birthday Dinner!

Last Saturday my family and I went out for my Aunt Becky and my birthday dinner. My grams treated us to Acropolis in Bloomingdale. Since our birthdays are 4 days apart and Becky is never here, we finally got to have one together. I was a lovely evening with cocktails and my brother dancing with a belly dancer, quite the sight haha.

After dinner we back back to gram's house and had cake! I love birthday cake! Its one of my favorite types of cake.

After things settled down, my brother offered to take a few pictures of me for my blog, he is such a cool guy!!!

On my actual birthday I went and got my sleeve worked on by Angelo. I get tattooed on my birthday every year. We finally capped off my sleeve, its really coming together. Afterwords Kaitlin meet up with me in Ybor for drinks and mema's tacos! That evening we all went out to Skippers for reggae night and $2 red stripe. Ive been a bad blogger lately and keep forgetting to bring my camera to things. I had a great birthday this year. I got some really swank presents too, blog to come!

I just wanted to say real quick thank you to all my new followers!!! Stay Lovely! Xoxo

Denim on Denim

Hey everyone! I see I have some new followers!! Thats so great, thank you all so much! I have been seeing denim make a huge come back and I just bought this light denim top. I didnt notice it at first but its missing a button so I ended up making it into a crop top thing with my high waist shorts!

Denim is classic, anything goes with it. I love simple but bold statements in fashion. Sometimes its the simple things that stand out more for its classic timeless style. ** Oh the bandage on my ankle is a new tattoo I just got lol **

It is so hot in Florida right now. Going outside to take pictures is an effort, I dont typically feel like melting away in the sun lol. I recently read on Robyn's blog Twitch Vintage a picture she had taken with the timer on her camera, and it had went off right as she was fluffing out her hair. Well my timer went off right as I was wiping the sweat off my forehead. Sometimes 10 seconds just isnt enough lol.

I recently received some "hate" mail this week. I guess the haters will hate. I will admin at first it did bother me, not necessarily what was said, Im just boggled by the fact that some random stranger felt the need to leave a nasty/negative comment on my blog. I love you all who have left me such lovely comments. Thank you for hanging around always.

Things are finally starting to come together though! The art show is next week! I have so much more to do but I have a good feeling about it. Ive been putting a lot of hard work into it. Work has been really good to, Ive been working during the day and making more money, so thats totally a plus. Not much else has been going on. Just working and art show stuff. Hopefully soon things will slow down and I can get back to more fashionable posts. Everyone have a great day!! Xoxo!
