Yup, it’s that time of year! As of today, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing…of course I’ve been shopping. The main reason why I adore this particular sale is because it’s truly a sale…markdowns on brand new fall fashion that hasn’t even hit the floor. If you’re reading this now, know that I just added this sentence in…some of my picks are already sold out. Yikes! So hurry over if you something you like. I didn’t realize it would be quite this bonkers.

Yesterday I opened my new J.Crew catalog, and the rumors are true. It’s official, the rugby shirt is back in style. 1984 called J.Crew and said what the world need now is not just love, sweet love, but rather a re-release of a tomboy favorite. Slowly but surely the Save By The Bell look is making a comeback. I’ve seen mom jeans, tight rolled cuffies, choker necklaces and now this…well, technically this is not a comeback…probably more of a throwback…but still, if you can see passed the color, you’ll be drooling over a lot of pieces in this home.

Anyone else in the I hate shopping for swimsuits boat? Raise your hand high. For me it’s worse than going to the dentist on the 58th floor of the airport…the dentist, elevators, and planes are enough to make me grab a bottle of vodka and hide in my closet. Mix that whole batch of awfulness together, and you got my attitude towards shopping for swimwear. There’s nothing quite like walking into a fitting room with 27 suits in hand, sausaging myself into each, and inevitably leaving empty handed with a frowny face.

One day while scrolling through the #ihavethisthingwithpink community, I came across an Instagram capture of the most magnificent pair of shoes. Not just any pair of shoes mind you, but a pair of leather pink oxfords. Clutch the pearls and be still my heart. Somebody fan me and give me my credit card ASAP!!!!! I need these in suckers my life. I was crushing hard and my little ticker was just a beating. Mission “Must Find These Shoes” was in full effect.
Immediately I tapped the image looking for tags. Nothing. I started Googling pink oxfords. Hmmm, broaden the search for pink shoes…ya no, only heels popped up…I wanted oxfords…pretty pink oxfords. I couldn’t believe it, I was coming up empty handed. Not being one to give up easily, and after a bit more frantic stalking searching, I finally found the designer and maker — Cristha Fuentes. I immediately stalked her on Facebook emailed her and begged her politely asked where I could buy a pair for myself.

Since my blog photo was a selfie taken in my basement after returning from the gym (eeeek…can we say sweaty and gross…bet you’ll never look at that picture the same, huh?). I decided y’all don’t need to be lookin’ at that anymore. House Of Hipsters needed a little update. Besides, you’ve been looking at this same photo for almost 3 years now. It’s about time.
So here’s a short little post about my new headshot.
