Feathery!







So. It's July. There's a lot of green in these pictures. I'm wearing possibly the comfiest boots ever. I'm at a loss for words (I think it's because I'm not a morning person. What's there to say in the morning anyway? My bowl of Cheerios was extra tasty today?), so I'm just going to state random facts.

Check out my earring. See it? Do ya? Do ya see it? Lovely Dimi of Little Witches/Tiny Wizards sent it to me (from Greece, yo!), along with another pair, and it's love. She hand-made it, y'all. My less than artsy-fartsy self is so impressed. I tried to make feather earrings once and they turned out very lulz-worthy. I honestly don't know how you crafty people do it. Dimi--as one might expect--makes other jewelry besides the earrings she sent to me, so please browse through her blog to see more!

Okay, back to the easy statements: I have to work this entire weekend. Independence Day is my favorite holiday. I'm bitter. I like money.

Dress: Shopbop
Vest: J. Crew
Boots: Jeffrey Campbell
Earring: handmade by Dimi

  5. The juxtapositioning of the pretty feminine earring with the big macho boots and the dainty light dress express an aspect of your personality we love. Perfect!

    And I'm proud to say I have a Dimi-created original piece of jewelry too! Mine (a necklace) came in the mail a week ago. We must be on "The A List." I always wanted to be one of the cool kids, like you. :)

  10. I see feather earrings everywhere, and I want them now! But then I remember how the fishers are out of feather lures, haha, and it makes me feel guilty. Still, looks gorgeous!

  11. I LOVE THE FEATHER.
    Seriously. I am so in love with the feather accents right now.
    Every time I come here, I can't get over your amazing sense of style. This is why I love you.
    Well, this and your personality.
    I'm not shallow.

  12. Whoa that earring is awesome, I am into tribal stuff -sorta- right now, so I just fell in love with the earring. But the boots take the cake, if I had those boots all I would do is sit in front of them and stare, and then stare some more. Like a fat kid would stare at a cake in a cake store kind of stare.

    Also, the dress is staring material too, I love!

  13. First Thought: Those boots are nice. I bet they're Jeffrey Campbell.

    Second Thought: Read. Earrings. Lulz. Well, I have to work/study Independence Day, too.

    Third Thought: Whoa, they ARE Jeffrey Campbell.

    Fourth Thought: Let's not pretend I am a Jeffrey Campbell connoisseur and can discern those shoes from the rest. Already predisposed to the knowledge that Ashley owns A TON of Jeffrey Campbell.

    Fifth Thought: Like how I used a few GRE words there? Now let's hope they're in the right context.

  14. Cheerios are the best. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only uncrafted individual out there. Love the earring though, you look edgy!

  15. Feathers and boots and dress are a luscious combination. I feel for you for having to work at the w-end... Hope they pay you well!

  16. i am not crafty either. I wish I could make earrings as pretty as the one you are wearing but I am all thumbs. Oh well. Bummer about having to work this weekend. At least you will get a nice paycheck.

  17. I'd probably end up getting a feather stuck to my hand if I attempt feather earrings :P This one is gorgeous though, really adds some colour to your outfit. Love the boots too!

  19. Thank you, thank you!
    I didn't take pics of those before I sent them away (silly me...!) and I really wanted to see if they look good! I'm very glad the "Ashley earring" looks so great on you - you have one happy artist (ahem) here!! And I love the way you combine it with a more subtle and kind of wild outfit.
    You and Shy, are in my top - A -list! You too Tracy dear... but I only have two hands and one of them doesn't work this week (tendinitis...ouch!). I'll take over the world... one magic bling at a time! (and of course money gets you faster to my A-list! I'm Ashley's other bitter friend!!). Kisses gorgeous!

    P.s. - Thanks to all of Ashley's lovely readers who like my jewellery and take the time and effort to comment or visit my blog! You people have a rockin' taste!!

  24. I feel your pain, I had to work on July 1st one year and it was everything but fun. But I like how you're wearing the feathers. If I did that I'd probably look oddly lopsided. :)

    Love

  25. You look incredible as always. I'm in love with this outfit from head to toe. And I'm really loving that hairstyle as well.

    I'm sorry you have to work all weekend. That blows. I'm off today through Monday. Why did I tell you that? How rude!

    Also, I read that last line as "I like monkey". haha.

    xoxo,
    Tracy
