My come back post.Well I've made it back to my blog finally, with my year marker of my last post coming up too. I honestly cant believe its been this long, time really got away from me. When I started thinking of how I would "make my come back" there were too many options. I also don't have access to my computer so I don't have a lot of photos that I've taken over the past months. I am in the process of compiling some instagram photos to kind of do a quick run through of what's been happening. With that, Im just going to jump into this post and we'll catch up later.<br />

With the amazing weather we've been having in Boston lately, I've been trying to spend as much time as possible outside. There are several little ponds connected to the Jamaica Pond that are really awesome little spots for taking pictures, with out having people stare at you. Every now and then a runner might run by, but they're too busy to stop and ask what I'm doing. I remembered this spot Ms. Jill took me to once, and that was my destination for these photos.<br />

A friend of mine gave me this new little poka dot dress from H&M not to long ago. I have gotten rid of so many pieces that I ran out of tank tops and sun dresses for this summer. For being a Florida gal, not having summer outfits is I guess slightly shameful... but I am 100% ready for fall and winter haha.<br />

I have always loved fashion blogging, thats why I never really gave up on this blog. Though time has gotten the best of me, I am looking to get back into this, if anyone out there still cares to look. Taking a break isn't a back thing, especially if you need to regroup and collect yourself. The whole reason I started this blog years ago was I needed a release of some kind after I had a terrible break up. I didn't take a break because of that, I actually have a great boyfriend now named Steve. I have had a lot going on, but it's time to get back into what made me happy for so long. I was never like those girls who do this every day, I knew that when I got into this, but I hope my absence will be forgiven because I've really missed doing this.<br />
<br />
And with that, I'll take my leave for today. I'll be sure to have more posts up this week.<br />
Thanks to anyone who still continued to check my page.<br />

One of my favorite places to go is the Arboretum and I just didn't have enough time this summer to enjoy it. The weather as of right now is rainy but the last few weeks have been lovely. Gorgeous weather with a bright sun. When I go to take photos at the Arboretum, I feel like its a rather special occasion, so I try to pick an outfit that is something I normally wouldn't wear out and about. I love getting dressed up in my vintage lounge wear. Now the Arboretum is really big, deciding on a spot is step one. Then its a matter of lighting, I must have taken 20 photos before I found good lighting. If you're going to be somewhere lovely, you might as well look like it.<br />

Where I was, is where they keep all the plants that grow on vines. There are usually hops growing, its really a pretty place to sit and have lunch and a cold drink.<br />

Today I bring you great news. I will finally be moving forward in my fashion career and leaving the resale world behind, to go be Diesel's new visual merchandiser! I can not tell you all enough how excited and proud of myself I am. This is a huge step forward for me. I have always worked in resale/vintage shops and to be working with such a desirable label will be exciting and extremely rewarding. I can not wait to start my new job and start moving forward to better things.<br />

Summer has had it's final curtain call for the year. The nights are cooler, the sun is starting to go down earlier, and pumpkin ales are on draft at the bar. Now it's not full blown fall yet, but it is that time to start transitioning into fall fashions. When I lived in Florida we really didn't have a fall season, so for the last two years it's been fun learning to dress seasonally. One of my favorite fall trends is over the knee socks. It's not warm enough to totally wear shorts, but it's not cool enough for pants during the day either. Over the knee socks are great for transitioning between seasons.<br />
<a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=combo1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/combo1-1.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
Another fall trend favorite is of course, light layering. I love layering light pieces, especially slips. Over the years I have acquired an impressive collection of vintage slips and am always trying to incorporate them into my daily wear. I typically wear them around the house and in my room lounging away. If you're going to wear a slip out of the house, you have to layer it with other pieces. Some examples would be a knitted crop top, a sheer blouse, or even just a simple cardigan. I opted to go with my tan lace tank top since it's still really nice out and not too cool.<br />

<br />
I never wear heels in the city anymore, too much walking around. Thankfully in this scenario I was just around the corner from my house so the walk wasn't bad at all. The shoes I'm wearing, are my staple black pumps. I got them at Forever21 years ago and they pretty much go with everything. The idea of wearing all back, but with different textures is so appealing to me. For example, a black denim skirt, with liquid leggings, and patten leather shoes and purse. The hat box, I've had for about a year now. One of my favorite finds at Boomeranges, it was $4! I needed something to carry, and the hat box complimented my shoes perfectly.<br />

<br />
Ha! Hows that for a blog post! I feel like I don't talk about my favorite trends enough. I would like to try to incorporate that into posts more often. Is there anything as a reader you want to know more about on the blog? What are some of your favorite fall trends?<br />

I felt inspired to take some photos last night, which I haven't done in a long time. Nor have I taken any photos in my new apartment! Now I really didn't have an outfit that was straight out of Hello Dolly, but I've had the really pretty green dress for some time now I bought and just haven't worn yet. There's a line in the movie, saying that if Horace Vandergelder had any sense, he'd repaint the shutters forest green. Its a key point in the movie, that they reference at the end. So pulling my inspiration from that, I threw on my favorite "lady" shoes and gloves.<br />
<br />

Before I settled with lighting and everything, I took a few test shots,
this one actually came out nice. The lighting in my room is really nice,
I didn't have to use the big over head light.<br />

<br />
I never think to take photos of the accessories or anything like that when I do outfit photos, but I didn't forget this time! Also, the gold necklace, was my great grandmothers on my moms side. I love incorperating these special pieces into my outfits.<br />

I was so sad and had to carry my things in a shoulder bag for a little while till I got a new back pack. My friend Adam has a nice collection of back packs and he really got me into them as well. He spent $350 on a Jansport back pack, and I have to say it is pretty amazing. I found my lovely new brown leather back pack at Buffalo Exchange. It is by London Fog.<br />
<br />
Moonrise Kingdom inspired our looks.<br />

<br />
My best friend Chelsea (an associate manager at the Buffalo Exchange in Boston/Alston, MA) is my go to gal. We go on mini adventures together all the time and also share a love for fine leather goods. When she saw my new one, she insisted on getting one herself. No sooner than 2 weeks go by and she called me to tell me she got in at her store a great brown leather back pack and it was currently on her hold. Once she bought it, I knew we had to take our back packs out for an adventure.<br />
<a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=DSCN0176.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/DSCN0176.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I literally spend my whole day out of my house. So I typically carry everything I can possibly think Ill need, just in case, I stay some where else or I want to put a different shirt on. I also love the difference between our two back packs. They suit us both like a glove.<br />

I have been looking for one for sometime now and this one even has pockets! I have worn it a few times now. One of the vintage hats I bought at Brimfield goes so perfectly with it. For work, we had to come in and wear our favorite summer trendy outfit and I of course wore the romper. I photographed all the girls in 30 minutes! I even got a few of myself, because I haven't had a chance to take any photos for this lovely blog.<br />

The only thing I forgot to do, was change my shoes! So I'm wearing my crappy (but awesome) keds and I was totally going to wear my new Sam Edelman flats. I took some photos with other people! I got Fatima and Rachel in this one.<br />

Then Jon and I got one together, he is so rad. He is also wearing an amazing Burberry shirt and Burberry jeans. He is truly a savvy shopper.<br />

In the world of Lovely, I am creeping up on my 6 month review and I've just been preparing for that and hanging out. I have to say, the last two Sunday/Monday's have really been the best. Ive got to hang out with my best friend and drink with my BadVille friends. Hopefully I'll be going back to Brimfield in July and I'll be moving back to Jamaica Plain in the coming days. All in all things have been good, but super busy! Always on the move. Bring it on summer.<br />
<br />
Xoxo.<br />

I am more of a visual person, even when I check out other people's blogs... I kind of just skim over everything and look at all the pictures. I had the sudden urge to write a little bit and what better way to stop complaining and just blog. Ive got my "space jams" playing in the background and a mind full of things to share.<br />
<br />
For a long time now I have always said I am adjusting to something new that's going on in my life. Weather it was a new apartment, or say a new job, I feel like I've used it as an excuse for just not blogging on a more regular basis. I have to say I'm pretty adjusted to how things are at the moment. My job is fantastic. I haven't worked somewhere in a long time where I really wanted to dive in and have it be all consuming, but I feel that way about working at Buffalo Exchange and I want to continue down the rabbit hole. I got to do this awesome vintage blog post for <a href="http://www.buffaloexchangefashion.com/" target="_blank">The Buffalo Exchange blog</a> (<---click there) as I had mentioned in my previous post. Chelsea was great, my boss Lisa was very proud of us and let us do that during our shift. I got to do this (blogging) at work, for work. My life has just taken off in this great new direction of fashion, style and inspiring people. I have always posted randomly, and I always make myself feel bad for not blogging more, when there are tons of other bloggers like myself who post when they can. I really do feel like its a "Quality over Quantity" thing. Id rather post a few really great blog posts then rush a ton of them and it just look like I put no effort into it. Now I feel like I'll be blogging full time on top of working full time, but doing both together. There are so many great opportunities to do a style report and blog post for the store and I have so many great ideas, only good things will come of this. I am beyond excited. Tonight I went out with some co-workers of mine and had such a lovely time. When I was sitting there I realized this is what I need to be doing and it felt great. I basically want to consume myself with what I am doing. Even now, it's 1:15 in the morning and I'm up catching up on blogs and street fashion photos and blogging. I totally am clocking in at work at 9:30 this morning; I'm going in early to tag a ton of merchandise and put it out on the floor. It's so worth it thought, because we'll get so much done and ready for the weekend, I wont be stressed about it so much. I work all weekend and I am so ready for whatever happens.<br />

Some really awesome things have been happening lately and they are defiantly worth sharing. First, may I just say, having cats around again is soooooooo awesome! Little Bonnie is literally sitting in my lap right now and its the cutest thing ever. Cat blogging! I know Julie of <a href="http://orchidgrey.blogspot.com/">Orchid Grey</a> would appreciate this haha. So the first cool thing, I got to meet another blogger friend of mine. Roni of <a href="http://ronifeelsnostalgic.blogspot.com/">Roni feels nostalgic.</a> She was such a sweet heart! I felt bad though because I didn't really have time to chat the store was soooo busy that day! I had just enough time to have a photo snapped before I had to ring up a line of customers.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=roniblogger.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/roniblogger.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Next, I finally made it on the Buffalo Exchange tumblr! For the last 2 weeks I have been working on doing more blog stuff for the store and it's finally paid off and what a wonder feeling it is. When I saw the photo posted last night I about had a mini freak out. I couldn't stop laughing.<br />

*Photo was taken by Chelsea for the store outside in Davis Square. It was to show off the amazing leather hat.<br />
<br />
So with working on the blog for work Chelsea and I did the amazing vintage photo shoot together for the store. This lady came in last week and sold us soooo many amazing vintage dresses! It was all together an $1800 buy. So for the store I decided to showcase them. We are still in the process of putting that post together, but here is a sneak peek of one of the dresses we modeled.<br />

<br />
So that's what has been going on lately! So much awesome fashion stuff. I haven't been this excited about work in so long, I really do love my job. I got paid to fashion blog for my store. Amazing. Getting to hang out with Chelsea has been so great and Im so happy for her, shes in Arizona for work the next 3 days. We have an awesome job. I also got to have a beer with my boss the other night and I must say it was very lovely to get to talk to her one on one and relax. Thing are going lovely for this lady.<br />

She was just as excited to do this like I was. We love our job so much and our store and really wanted to showcase more. We finally had a day off together where we could get out and take photos. She came to JP and we took a walk to Franklin park, where I showed her the abandoned zoo. Needless to say, the photos came out awesome!<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_1060.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_1060.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Chelsea!<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_1071.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_1071.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_1037.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_1037.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_1030.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_1030.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_1024.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_1024.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After having fun at the abandoned zoo, we hiked on over to this fort like structure that was right by the gold course.

It is beautiful and full of history (that I don't know). There are actually 3 of them and I did not know that. We walked around the pond, then walked across the street and there was another one! I have been living in JP for over a year and a half now and never ventured that far. I have plans to go hiking this year and walking around is a good start. I took a ton of photos and Ms. Jill was lovely enough to take some of me! Journey with us through the ponds...<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0686.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0686.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0697.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0697.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0701.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0701.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0708.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0708.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Ms. Jill.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0713.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0713.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0717.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0717.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0723.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0723.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0731.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0731.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Breakin all the rules.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0734.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0734.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Now my outfit wasn't very "fashion blogger" stylish, but it's defiantly what I felt comfortable in. I love my punx vest, I've had it for years and I can't let go of it just yet.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0782.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0782.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0820.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0820.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0823.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0823.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />All in all it was a great day. We made booze drinks to go and brought a little snack. I had spent the earlier afternoon drinking at the Behan and already had a nice buzz going. Later that afternoon, I actually got my hair buzzed lol. I was so tried apparently, I passed out when I got home. Ms. Jill said it was like walking a puppy, completely exhausted after my walk, which was so true. I had a great time, and I feel like if I just keep it up, I'll be hiking by September. Ms. Jill has become such a great friend of mine, I look forward to more walks and adventures with her as the weather is warming up.<br />Xo!LovelyLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195966068516038421noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354775451106695476.post-61270244693348510622012-03-07T19:43:00.003-08:002012-03-07T19:56:30.935-08:00Foxy.Just a quick post for tonight. I didnt even wear this outfit to work the other day, I changed right before I left (I tend to do that a lot) but ever since I bought this amazing fox tail from work (Buffalo Exchange in Davis Square) I cant stop wearing it! Every outfit Ive worn has had to have belt loops so I can wear it. The other night, I was walking in front of some guy friends of mine and they were saying all kinds of things. My butt already draws enough attention, now I'm just adding to it.<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0647.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0647.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />"You're just askin for it"<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0661.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0661.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0651.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0651.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Fox tail from Buffalo Exchange in Davis Square. Was priced at $15. (I used my discount)<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0658.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0658.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I wore it again today. I love it! With spring right around the corner, I'm going to have to start thinking of ways I can still wear it with dresses and skirts. At this point, I'm convinced it will go with any and everything. Oh, I went full time at Buffalo Exchange this week officially! Well, I kind of did last week, but this is my real first full well. I LOVE IT! There will always be ups and downs to a place you work at, but I have no complaints. My job is fun, it keeps me out of trouble and I dont spend as much money at The Behan because I get home and Im completely exhausted.<br /><br />Also, I studded those shorts all on my own. I didnt have anyone help me. Alright! I have a 4:15am wake up call, stay lovely!

Since then it has totally changed around. I wake up around 8am all the time now and sometimes I'll just lay in bed and watch TV, or sometimes I'll get up and do stuff before I have to go to work. This morning I put on some records and decided to take some outfit photos! I wanted to look really nice for work today. I try to dress better when I'm on the register.<br />I was actually inspired by Julie of <a href="http://orchidgrey.blogspot.com">Orchid Grey</a> this morning. I came across a photo I saved from <a href="http://orchidgrey.blogspot.com/2012/02/leopard-and-leather.html">THIS POST</a> (<---- just click) in my inspriation folder and decided to roll with it.<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0584.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0584.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0591.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0591.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0597.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0597.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0608.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0608.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Now she wore a black skirt and maroon tights, I didn't want to copy her completely, that's not what inspriation is about. She inspired me to put an outfit together of things that I had. I typically don't like long sleeves on short sleeved tops. I decided to break out of my comfort zone and wear this awesome silk leopard print top I bought at Community Thrift awhile ago.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0615.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0615.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The shorts, a personal favorite of mine.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0610.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0610.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I love being inspired by other bloggers, especially Julie, I have been following her for some time now. Last time I took outfit photos before I went to work, I got toothpaste on my slip right before I left! Lets hope this time that doesn't happen.<br /><br />Some "glamor" shots, lol.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0623.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0623.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0626.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0626.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Xoxo everyone.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0631.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0631.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>LovelyLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195966068516038421noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354775451106695476.post-55265004439617435962012-02-14T17:38:00.000-08:002012-02-14T17:56:13.910-08:00Vintage Valentine.Happy Valentines day everyone!<br />Now I know everyone has their own feelings/thoughts/emotions about this day but that shouldnt hinder looking nice today. I dont really care about Valentines day, its cool when its cool and crappy when its crappy, but today was a nice simple day for me. Ill probably go up to The Behan in a little bit for a drink. Well working at Buffalo Exchange has me getting dressed up more and today I really wanted to look nice. I was going for a vintage Valentine card look. I think I succeeded.<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0549.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0549.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0541.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0541.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0558.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0558.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0560.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0560.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My new top! I bought it at work the other day, its technically my Valentines gift from my Grams. Its originally from Forever 21.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0559.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0559.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0565.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0565.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I took these before I went into work today, and looked awesome. As I was leaving, I noticed I some how managed to get tooth paste on my slip. I was soooo upset. So I had to change real quick and leave. I ended up with my red high wasted and the same top, but no one got to see me in this outfit.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0568.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0568.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I cleaned my room and put everything away finally. I felt like I was living in chaos. After not working for all of December, and screwing around all day, adjusting back into a full schedule has been a little tough because I really do enjoy my "ME" time and hanging out with my friends. Its getting easier though, and it feels really good to come home tried from a hard days work, of awesome clothes.<br /><br />And last but not least, everyone knows... Kimmie hearts Ronnie.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0575.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0575.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Xoxo everyone.LovelyLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195966068516038421noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354775451106695476.post-54790893601364598192012-02-03T11:52:00.000-08:002012-02-03T12:53:45.421-08:00First Thursday after party.Last nigh was my first art show in Boston! It was flamingo themed and to my surprise, a lot of people showed up! Some of my favorite people where there. There were people there I didn't even know who really liked my collection. All my flamingos were a success, all the glitter and eyelashes. I threw in a couple of other things. I actually sold my owl painting! To my lovely friend Nicky. Ms. Jill and Laurence bought one of my eagle paintings and Miles bought a painting I finished that morning. Thank you all again for supporting me and my art work. I love you all and everyone that came out last night.<br /><br />If you showed up around 1am you missed it.<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0457.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0457.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0463.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0463.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0465.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0465.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0466.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0466.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />*Thank you Shamus for the flamingos<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0468.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0468.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />James and myself; he was another artist showing last night.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0475.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0475.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0477.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0477.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0480.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0480.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0489.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0489.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0494.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0494.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Shamus!<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0502.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0502.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The show was a total success and I can't think Randace enough for having me.

Well I started my new job at Buffalo Exchange, I am training to be a fashion buyer there. I LOVE my job. I can't say it enough. Since I live in Jamaica Plain and I work in Davis Square, my commute is about an hour (with some leeway time). By the time I get home Im completely exhausted, which is a good thing. I have been busy lately but I have been photographing things. The other day my good friend Nicky came to my house and we played dress up with all the fun pieces in my closet. I let her pick out some of here favorites and then picked out outfits to compliment hers. We got boozey and had so much fun.<br /><br />This first look, Nicky is wearing my amazing 70's dress that I was meant to own. I decided to wear my vintage 1960's Neiman Marcus gown.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0368.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0368.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0369.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0369.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0376.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0376.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The second look Nicky is wearing an 80's velvet jumpsuit with a gold bow belt. I paired that with me sailor jumpsuit.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0380.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0380.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0385.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0385.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Next, maxi dresses in soft pastels.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0395.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0395.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0397.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0397.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Gowns you couldn't really wear out and about.<br />Now Ive wore the off white lace dress before, but I haven't photographed the gold and bronze dress in a long time. Its beautiful and I only paid $2 for it! Unreal.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0405.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0405.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0412.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0412.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0419.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0419.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And finally, you can tell the wine was really kicking in by this point. I had given Nicky one of my vintage lounge wear dresses and I decided to pull out my vintage bustier and awesome gray high wasted pants with a brown belt. I threw this outfit together and suddenly fell in love with it.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0448.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0448.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0454.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0454.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />By this point it was 4:45 and I had to go pick up Ronnie from the Airport... and failed at that. It was fun to hang out with Nicky for once and not be surrounded by a ton of people. We plan to get together again and show off more things from my closet. For now, I just need another booze drink at my favorite bar.<br />Xo!LovelyLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195966068516038421noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354775451106695476.post-40895660240011864852011-12-28T12:55:00.000-08:002011-12-28T13:06:44.750-08:00WW2 Influenced.Last night I started watching Band of Brothers with Adam and I remembered I had a hat from WW2 that I bought at Sheri's Yesterdaze a few years ago when I was in Florida. With how the weather has been lately, I actually got to go to the Arboretum and it wasn't freezing. Simon and I rode our bikes down there for a beer and I really wanted to take some new outfit photos. The dress I picked out was prefect, the color matched all the colors around me. It was actually the first time I wore this dress too, the tag was still on it... for $2.50.<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0229.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0229.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />"Get that elbow up!" -Adam.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0247-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0247-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0250.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0250.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=redcombo1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/redcombo1-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0251.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0251.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0272.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0272.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0255.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0255.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Its really nice to get these posted today. Ive really been lacking on blog stuff and with the year ending I didnt want to be <span style="font-style: italic;">that</span> blogger who didnt do a year in recap! With a great era of inspiration, this dress was a success. In other news, Im going on my big interview tomorrow. Ive just been painting a lot more lately and hanging out. Trying to lay low, but failing at times. I had to clean my room today, I couldn't find anything on the floor. This weather too has been way to nice, no snow on the ground. I have a feeling when it does start snowing, there's going to be a nasty storm. Other than that, keep staying lovely! I hope everyone had a great December. Xoxo!<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0278.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0278.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>LovelyLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195966068516038421noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354775451106695476.post-68012985020509147752011-12-28T12:50:00.001-08:002011-12-28T12:54:00.870-08:00Tattoo Wednesday!Last week my friend Rus and I finally got together, and I got my saber tooth tiger skull. What he drew was amazing, I was beyond impressed. I had been wanting a skull for some time but couldnt decided on one or who to do it. One night Rus and I got to talkin and he had really been wanting to do a skull with flowers. The tattoo is amazing, I love it. I actually cried a little right at the end, because it was in a really tender spot. I have over 50 tattoos and the last time I cried, it was my third tattoo, which was a 4 and a half hour sitting.<br /><br />Thank you so much Rus!<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=sabertooth.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/sabertooth.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Tattoo (and photo) by Rus at Fat Ram's Pumpkin Tattoos on Centre St in Jamaica Plain.LovelyLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195966068516038421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354775451106695476.post-27629308692926207812011-12-28T12:45:00.000-08:002011-12-28T12:49:00.532-08:00Kimmie vs. Ronnie Christmas Trees!So Adam and I were having a Christmas tree competition. In the spirit of Christmas, we (Ronnie) decided to call it a Christmas trues. You be the judge, I got plenty of compliments on my amazing tree. I will say this though, being there while he picked out all the ornaments and while he decorated the tree, Adam did a great job and he tree was just as beautiful, but in a different way.<br /><br />Kimmie's Tree.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0067-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0067-1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Ronnie's Tree.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0171.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0171.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A job well done to us both.

I woke up and was looking for new jobs when I saw that Buffalo Exchange was hiring! So from there I got dressed and went to Davis Square. Well, you cant go out for a job like that with out looking stylish, so I wore these amazing green shorts Ive been dieing to wear with a button down. Needless to say I totally have n interview with them next week. Here's some street style.<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0144.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0144.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0149.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0149.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It was 57 degrees out yesterday! It really doesnt feel like winter. So I was lucky enough I only had to wear a blazer and tights. I have had that blazer for a long time now a friend of mine gave it to me. I also grabbed my D&B bag when I was in Florida last, probably my favorite purse next to my Coach bag.<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0152.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0152.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0154.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0154.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0161.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0161.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Ive also really been into buttoned collars. I have a beautiful chest piece, and I like to show it off, but lately... I have been changing my mind on things, something about having a lot of tattoos and covering them up has been appealing to me a lot. Its a very clean look as well. I saw a photo where a lady had her collar buttoned and all these little necklaces, so I decided to try it out myself with a simple little black cat necklace.<br /><br />The rest of my day was awesome. Adam and I hung out and sang Christmas songs all afternoon while he decorated his tree, which is lovely. I also found a copy of Life Aquatic for a dollar and finally found a vintage cape! Ive been dieing to get one for over a year now, and I found one for only four dollars! Adam's Christmas party was in the evening, that was a lot of fun! I won best dressed, though it wasn't official. So with yesterday's awesome outcome, I am defiantly feeling better about things. Its Christmas weekend! I hope everyone has a lovely holiday!

I had asked for some old ornaments my mom had picked some out and got me some new ones. Mary got me the cutest flamingo ones. I was shocked when I opened the box...stuff was falling out of it.<br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0060.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0060.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Some of the ornaments were from when I was a kid, the snowman paint stick, I made that in 1995.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0062.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0062.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Even Ronnie himself, said I had a beautiful tree.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0067.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0067.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0075.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0075.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0072.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0072.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0064.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0064.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0071.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0071.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I even got to put all my presents under the tree!<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0068.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0068.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It took me 5 hours total to put that amazing tree together. I got home late the night my box arrived, like around 10:30, and was up all night working on it. I couldnt wait anymore, I was beyond excited. 3:30 am I finally finished.<br /><br />So I havent had a lot of blog posts lately. I recently lost my job and have been laying extremely low, and being bummed out has totally taking all my inspiration for putting together something fashionable. Ive been wearing a lot of the same things. I also have got tattooed a lot lately and can only wear certain things because I got both my thys tattooed. Hopefully I will find a job soon, but in the mean time... my friends have been nothing but supportive and helpful. Adam helped me out in a huge way, and I am so thankful for having him around. We've also been watchin TV lately, did you know theres a show just about Trucks! Yeh, there is. Brant and Nikkie have also taken me in and just everyone has been really supportive. While my family is in Florida, they help as much as they can, but its nice to know I have real, good friends here.<br /><br />Now that my tree has been revealed, its time to see Ronnie's! His party is Thursday, mine was Sunday... heres a sneak peek...<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0113.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0113.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>LovelyLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195966068516038421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354775451106695476.post-39422065343626642842011-12-20T09:58:00.001-08:002011-12-20T10:04:23.418-08:00Alandale FarmsNow that I have revaeled my Christmas tree! I can finally talk about it haha. I am having a Christmas tree competition with Ronnie, and I had to keep a lot under wraps. A few days before we went and bought ours, I went with my adopted family Brant and Nikkie to Alandale farms to help pick out their tree. While I was there I was scoping them out and saw that the prices were right if all four of us in the house chip in. Later Simon, Ben and I went and picked out our tree.<br /><br />I was really impressed with Alandale farms, they were very helpful and we got a 6 foot tree for $40! It was really cool to see all the different types of trees too.<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_9977.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_9977.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_9982.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_9982.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_9971.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_9971.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Simon was lovely enough to take my photo, holding our tree! He actually found this one. Great job Simon!<br /><a href="http://s939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/?action=view&current=IMG_0023.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad239/Lovelyleigh813/IMG_0023.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Ms. Jill gave me her tree stand which was really helpful, so I didnt have to buy one. I was looking forward to having a tree so much. Our house really looks like Christmas.
