Weekend Rewind: April 24th-25th, 2011

Wow...how long as it been since I did a Weekend Rewind?  really, right?
Well I had tons of chipper stuff to talk about because my weekend was pretty fun and it was EASTER!  But then my world came crashing down at 10pm Sunday night...so for the next few weeks, while I may be blogging more (I've got lots of newfound free time, not my wish, but hey crap happens), I will probably also be a Debbie Downer; just bear with me.
Let me see what I can muster up for you guys...I had more pics of what I actually did this weekend, but I only feel like posting outfits at the moment; so maybe next time it'll be a more fun Weekend Rewind...for now, here we go:

Saturday-April. 23, 2011:

I had a day of errands, and dropping off my photography project and mounting hooks on the back so they'd be ready for my photo exhibition on Sunday...these past few weeks I've had hardly any time for anything because I enrolled in a photography class.  So you can imagine between work, at the time a boyfriend, and hoemwork from class well I was a busy lady.

Anyway, I've been dying to wear my Axl Rose tshirt more often and I realized for as much as I love it, I still had never shown you guys its awesomeness. 
I thought a rainy Saturday of errands was a good day to go "metal chick" with my attire.  And Axl brought the badass to my outfit.

After errands, I had all good intentions to go home and make food for Easter Brunch on SAturday.  Instead, as most of my friends (myself included) are easily seduced by the bottle; we went to a bar after errands.  From about 4:30 till the wee hours of Saturday night I was chugging brews.  I can hold my own, so its ok.

We went to a show, saw Hunx and his Punx (a fun band if I do say so myself), then more drinks at a local bar. I think I teetered home way too late, but I still got up at a decent hour on Easter to make my food for our friends' brunch.

It was a pretty fun night...I hadn't gone out to the bars like that in a while; I had actually been quite responsible and happy in my dometicated little life I managed to carve out for myself.  So out late with friends after so long of not going out, it was a welcome treat.  ANd I'm glad I had Axl along for the ride!

Sunday-April 24, 2011: 

HELLO EASTER!
I felt really springy and almost like an easter egg which would only be appropriate on such a day.  Today was the day of my friends' Easter Brunch, as well as my photography exhibition.  So I thought a cute little vintage frock of spring-like coloring would be ever-so delightful.

This is a dress I found at Beacon's Closet not too long ago.  It's got a slight weird stain on it but hey whatever...I'm not opposed to wearing stained clothing; who am I to be clean and classy right? ha
I love this dress actually...while wayyyyyyyyyy on the short side, it still fits me well and is the exact style and proportion I like in a vintage dress.  Easy and cute.

I also finally bought some nude patent leather heels as I had mentioned wanting a few weeks back.  I figured nude would be a great match for this dress; I think it worked.  And the heels, while I found almost impossible to walk in, look pretty great.  I just have to figure out how to meander about in these shoes..and if I can't walk in them, I doubt the average person can either considering I wear sky-high heels 95% of the time!

Wearing:
*Turquoise vintage dress-Beacon's Closet
*Nude lace patterned hosiery-Candies
*Nude patent leather heels-Guess
*Silver vintage necklace-thrift store
*Brown sunglasses-Prada (thanks ex bf...I've got something nice to take away from this)

OK friends, hope you had a great weekend and a lovely easter.  Again I apologize if I act and sound like a bitter cold-hearted lady the next few weeks, but one day I'll be back to my chipper self.  Until then maybe I'll just put more efforts into my outfits, or maybe not--still haven't figured out how this whole upheavel of the heart will effect my outfit decisions, sometimes I can feel very uninspired and not caring when these things occur.  So it'll be interesting to say the least right?

Halloween--"Get on the Night Train" (2008)

If you've got a sidekick, why not dress the part this Halloween?

While it may not have been October 31st on this particular evening, it was an ideal occasion to dress up, considering we were the only ones taking it to that level besides the band.

(Alex's Wonderland and Sew Me Some Love) 

a few months ago following the same destructive path I've chosen!

(FYI: These two ladies are just starting out in the blogging world, so please travel on over and give them a read.  

They're dishing out their college angst, style, and party-life fun.  

And for all of you like me, somedays I just wish life would be like college again.  This is a quick fix.)

So on this note, who's your dream Halloween duo? 

-Mick and Keith?

-Joe Perry and Steven Tyler?

-Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi?

-Sonny and Cher?

-Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton (more of this coming soon, check back)

You know, it's not too late for you and your bestie to jump on board and plan your Halloween get-up.

Side Note: If ever I had a little sister, Sew Me Some Love would've been it!  I've known her since the day she was born, and after all these years, it makes me so ecstatic to find out that she's not only into about 90% of the same stuff I'm into, but she's also studying to be a fashion designer!  In some little way, it makes me so happy to see her following the same footsteps--that being footsteps out of the parents' house, onward to college, and one day a hop, skip, and a jump outside of Indiana to the bright lights of the big city!

Side Side Note:  Sew Me Some Love, let me apologize for probably putting your diapers on crooked, most likely failing to warm your bottles to the proper temperature, making you sport my crazy hairdo's to piano class, and never having mastered the art of cooking-thus all those frozen pizza or PB&J lunches I served you and your brothers

Triple Side Note: AXL IS FROM INDIANA!!!!!  I don't care that he's a total douche nowadays, I gotta stand by my man!
