I think my camera and I are getting a little more comfortable with each other. We have been taking long walks together and watching sunsets for so long that we are starting to loosen up. I don't feel its criticism anymore and its catching my good side more often. I have always sort of had a crush on it, but now its getting more serious. What A Freaking Weirdo right. All I mean is that I have been exploring new angles and poses (which is sort of big for me since my previous nickname was robot, due to the fact that I always posed the same and looked off to the side for like 6 months straight. Check my archives if you really need proof or were not around then or even care.)
So is this head thing called a fascinator? I keep seeing that word around and I looked at google images and it turned up some strange stuff. I got it at my local thrift shop yesterday and would normally call it a hat, but maybe its a FASCINATOR. cool. I hit the vintage hat mother load yesterday, which is silly since that happens once a month and I feel I should start selling them. Or just start selling and listing again period. Its been a while.
Two really kind of neat and fun new things I am doing: I am now a stylist on Whattowear.com. Its this new site where you can ask any number of stylists (some celebrity stylists and Glamour Magazine stylists, not just bloggers) any fashion question and it will be answered within minutes with examples and pictures and products. I am featured in the stylist section on like the third page near the bottom (or you can just click here), and there are about a million way cooler kids to ask questions to before you get to me, so it is super cool and surprising to be included!
Posts I plan on doing this week at some point: 1. A typical sugar free day of eating (since some of you have asked) 2. My thrift store shopping technique and strategies (another request) 3. a full on costumey dressup post since I am going to a super fun Rockabilly concert on Wednesday and have my whole getup planned and I can't wait!! and 4. obviously randomness.
silk shirt, belt, hat: thrifted vintage
skirt: shopmamie.com (they sold out of this skirt think but have lots of other really cute stuff!)
shoes: old navy

Christina, this is my favourite outfit of yours (that I can remember)!!! Lovely hee hee :D
You look absolutely beautiful. I love the whole thing, especially the hat and skirt.
loving this outfit xx fab colours in ur skirt xx
I remember the days when you'd always take pictures next to your mannequin buddy! You were quite adorable, but I'm really glad to see a lot of new poses. :) I especially enjoy the second picture. And that skirt! It's enviably adorable and goes with the fascinator (I love that word!) nicely.

Hi Christina! I just left a question for you at Whattowear.com. I'm not sure it made it to the appropriate spot though. It may be lost in cyberworld forever! Ahhh!
I LOVE LOVE this skirt! So summery! Here's to great finds and happy hunting!

I adore this outfit--the fascinator is so charming, and I absolutely love the belt too. You really do have the best accessories! Flawless as always!
Ahhh your hairrrrr... that braid... makes me wish I didnt cut off all my hair!!!
As much as I love my funky cut, I miss being able to do whatever with long hair in a short amount of time! (can't think like that!) I really need to go thrifting with you... although we would probably end up fighting for things... so maybe not! I am always told I am lucky in thrift shops but people just don't realize it takes TIME and a strategy... I used to just go through every item one by one but now I just know where to go...
That fascinator is fascinating, I can't believe you found it, it's pretty sweet.
Looking lovely as always.

oh and PS the boyfriend bought so much sugar this weekend, praline chocolate, cookie dough ice cream, sour candies... I was DYING!
I cheated and had some chocolate, I had to!
I think this outfit is a breath of fresh air and the skirt is beautiful. You pulled the entire outfit together perfectly!

I'm loving all your new daringness with the camera, the new locations and poses suit you so well! I always thought you were cute (even with the trusty pose and green wall!) but now it's like there's more "you" in the photos!
Love the outfit! Especially the fascinator!
I love the hat (or whatever it is) with the skirt - great colors!

You are all gorgeousness dear. Congrats on becoming a stylist for whattowear.com
All the best for your future endeavors....
Oh my you had me laughing for a bit there. Nice to know you and your camera are getting along so well! Your outfit is lovely, I like the print and different colors.
omg - LOOOOOVE the fascinator! really great! i prob would have passed on it for the color, but you styled it so well!
This is "Christina Inspirations Day" I guess! I had just made my post and checking the blogs and ran into Haiku Ambulance and saw that she was inspired from you and wore a scaft top, like I did today!!! :D Hahaha! I feel so lucky to know you! And I had no problems about your "robot" poses but these new ones are way too good, yes! You look gorgeous and oh I'm so glad you became a stylist on Whattowear! Now I'm heading there, I may have some questions for you :D Xoxo
You are beautifull , love your style. Best regards from Romania.
Kissessssss, Flory
That skirt is amazing!
This outfit is wonderful! I love the striped belt with the floral skirt :)
I'm guessing that on this website you can't ask a question to a specific stylist?? I went to your profile page and asked my question hoping that it was being asked to you...and instead I got answers from everyone but you..haha
Love your skirt,wedges and blouse <3
love the fabric of your shirt!lovely skirt:)cute cute cute!!:))
This outfit is dynamite! I don't think I ever use that word but it's so fitting for this super cute ensemble. Look forward to hearing your thrifting techniques. xo
This is absolutely gorgeous.
Not that this post isn't fantastic, in fact, you look great - but I'm so excited about a couple of the posts you've mentioned! I've always wondered about your vintage rituals. You always have the most insanely awesome vintage pieces. And I've been really curious about your new no sugar diet (seriously... worst allergy ever!).
So much to say here! FIrst... turquoise. My favorite color. Looks so fabulous on your tan legs... and do you get any influx of cool Southwest turquoise jewelry up there? I'm dying to take a trip out West just to get my hands on some. 2nd... Rockabilly! Ha! I was searching vintage shirts for Rob and kept coming across that term in the title, and Rob says, "Hon, what's rockability?" hahaha.
3. thank you ever so much for your super awesome comment. it made my (very sunburned) day.
4. I LOVE that you are a weardrobe featured blogger! AMAZING and so deserved.
xoxo

love the skirt! such a fun, summery print. looking forward to your sugar-free post- i've been curious as to how that's done.
You never cease to amaze me!!!
When I think you couldn't possibly come up with a cooler outfit, you do! I love the way u think. So very trendy, yet very personal. You are a unique lady with a super eye :)
This outfit is beautiful. Total proof that you were destined for a styling gig. I can't wait to see more of what you do with it.
Also can't wait for your thrifting post. You are totally my thrifting inspiration.
Everything is perfect! I love the drapey-ness of that top and the striped (scarf as?) belt with the floral skirt.
You have the best finds at your thrift store.
This is such a gorgeous outfit! I must say you have impeccable style.
I like your style. a lot!
Yay, love that you've teamed a wee vintage hat with that outfit! It looks great. I'm missing all my fun hats - it's winter here and so I'm living in berets. Can't wait to get my straw hats out in a few weeks when we're in Texas.

loving everything about this post! The skirt is beautiful and the photos are great. love it!
great outfit - one of my favorites!
Guhhhhhhh.
This is one of my favorite outfits of yours ever. Period.
Those kind of electric colors just look so fucking good on your skin it's unreal. And with the striped belt, this is just so interesting!! At first I thought it was a purple bandana and then I saw the close-up and my fingernails fell off. That's how awesome you are.
And wtf Old Navy- if you had told me you had cool shoes like this I would visit you every now and again. Geez.
I am sooo crushing on your hat right now! That is absolutely stunning!
just adore your skirt - color, shape, style! amazing!
xo
