One More Time

For the very last time we will be gathering at Concord Mills just outside of Charlotte NC for the midnight showing of Harry Potter. We will be making complete fools out of ourselves as usual.

Pictured above is a fraction of the jewelry I will be draped in. I love an occasion to wear nearly half of my jjewelry collection. Nearly. (who am I kidding? I'm not even wearing a quarter.) So stay tuned for photographic evidence that I, and my cohorts, are mildly retarded.

Oh, Just a Mermaid. Playing a Guitar.

 

I came across this pendant on Ebay. I'm seriously considering purchasing it for the sake of WTF.

I mean what isn't amazing about a mermaid wearing a pink crown playing an electric (yes electric) guitar? Oh yeah, and there is the bling factor. If I ever get obnoxiously rich, I'm going to have this commissioned in gold and diamonds as real bling. And the mermaid will be twice as large. I'll wear it everyday.

Enjoy,

Luv,

Oh, So sad.

I wish I had seen these earlier. Especially the coral ones. ~Sigh~

      

Forever 21shoes

We will be back to a more regular schedule soon. my new mac and Blogger (as well as John's camera) are fighting. As soon as it all gets straitened out I will be working harder to get on a real posting regiment. I love my readers, and YOU DESERVE BETTER!

It's coming.

Luv,

Vanessa

Happy 4th

May your 4th be full of cold beer, bright fireworks, and warm friendship.

Bells on Their Toes

I'm kinda in love with these Maio sandals from Asian ICandy. They aren't even that expensive (completely with my summer shoe budget), and are even made of leather. So what is stopping me? Everyone I know would beat me to a pulp if my feet made constant jingle noises.
~Sigh~
It's just not meant to be.


What are you pining for?

Luv,

Just So you Know

I don't know what's going on with Blogger this week. Like many other Blogger users, I have been unable to access my account on my home computer. I was able to log in at work, so I decided to post this quickly on my lunch. I will be back to a more regular posting schedule when they get themselves all straightened out. I have a whole back log of posts that were in process, so there will be new material soon :)

Thanks for your patience,
Vanessa*

Blurry

Ok. SO these photos are total crap, but it's a teaser of what my friends Sarah, Merissa, and I did last night.

Find Your Niche

So I know that I have mentioned this like 20 times now, but I'm still REALLY excited. Corvidae Jewelry is available for purchase at Niche Market. That is, unless Stephanie buys it all first! You can find her modeling one of my creations HERE.

You may remember this necklace form HERE. You can check it out and tell me who wore it better.
I think we all know who it will be.

Yeah, ok it's the hot tattooed chick. I know.

I swear I have outfits and jewelry coming very soon. I swear. I'm trying to be a better blogger.

Vanessa*

I did a bad, bad thing.

I bought myself a present. I got it at Niche in the South End of Charlotte. If you haven't been there,and you live in Charlotte, go. They have the BEST stuff. Like my Jewelry. Seriously :)
Also (if you have a sec) check out La Niche Biche. Stephanie, one of the owners, has her own little fashion blog and her style is amazing!

Dead Beat Blogger

Where has the time gone? I have neglected this blog for far to long. I'm sorry guys! I'm working on new posts! I swear!

Jayna Lee

This is my friend Jana. She's an acrobat. Yes. For real. It's her day job. I just felt the need to take a moment and point you attention in her amazing direction.

She does quite a bit more than just aerial silks but she's been hooked on them lately, and I thought the ones in the snow were just so beautiful! You can see many more performances (including her appearance on Ellen and America's Got Talent) HERE

Check her out Ladies and Gents!
Luv,
Vanessa*

(p.s. I really want her tights.)

Clever Purchase

I got a package!Ok, I took these photos about 400 years ago in the middle of the summer. I just never managed to upload them. I bought this skirt from Clever Nettle about five(ish?) months ago and I have worn it multiple times. I'd yet to manage any photos, which changed today. I got a couple of ok shots so I decided to milk this for all it's worth (lazy lazy lazy) and do separate posts.Pretty Pretty Wrapping! I Love how she used an old photo as a note card. I have such a little soft spot for old photos as I have talked about on here before. You can't help but wonder what these guys were talking about before the photo was snapped. I love it. I also adored the soft vintage (?) ribbon wrapped around the tissue. It has made it's way into my ribbon stash.

I love it! YAY! This skirt has all the versatility of a chambray denim skirt with the soft flowy shape that I'm so attracted to.

Anja has the most beautiful and inspiring blog. She is one of the reasons I started.
Check her out here!--> Clever Nettle

Stay tuned for an outfit post!

Harry Pottah!

Tonight I give JK ten more of my hard earned dollars. I hate you JK.
Hopefully I will have more to post about over the weekend. You can read about my antics last time we went to a HP movie HERE.

Until then,

First day of Fall

We got to enjoy a beautiful harvest moon tonight! I tried to get a photo of the moon on my camera, but it just didn't happen. So i borrowed this from the National Geographic webpage. I actually think it was way more beautiful above my apartments.

Luv,
Vanessa*
(p.s. Happy Fall!)

I swear I will make a real post soon.

Until then, enjoy this.

Up to my eyes

Sorry to have been gone so long. I have been literally up to my eyes in boxes (ok I know that's only like 4'8" high but still.) I've been moving to this fabulous new apartment, but it's taking forever!

Then I snapped these the other day with the intent of putting them up and couldn't find my stupid camera cord. (it was in my purse) Now my dinosaur edition of Photoshop is putzing out on me so no cropping! YAY!

So I'm gonna go dive back into my work now. I have about 1200000(ish) more boxes to unpack, a desk to stain and put together, and legal internet to obtain. I'll be back in full swing soon. Promise.
luv,
Vanessa*

Current Obsession

Hendersonville, the epic journey part deux

I'm really through with all the "epic" parts of the trip. Now I just want to share my fun and photos. These are just shots of the house (or the outside of it anyway) I spent a good bit of time taking photos in the courtyard.
Check out how friggin cool the brick work is!
I just love all the stone detail everywhere.


We stopped down by the lake so I could snap a few of the the house on the hill I looked out on the lake and noticed this fella.

He ended up getting pretty close to me. I guess he was trying to see if I had any bread scraps.

More to come!
Luv,
Vanessa*

Go by and see these lovely artists in action!
