heaven.

so one of my favorite bloggers, whose site I check religiously, is having a fun giveaway that requires you to submit your best red, white, and blue outfit. The best one wins a whole bunch of cute prizes, and I really hope I get it. If you have a submission click the link above and get in on it, but hurry the deadline is quickly approaching.

so getting to the main part of my story....I love Indiana's style, sense of humor,...pretty much everything. Her blog deserves a bookmark so go do that immediately. I was excited to enter the contest and spent some time deciding if I should put a new outfit together or just use the outfit I actually wore on independence day. I finally decided to enter the contest using my actual outfit and sent her an e-mail with the link and my info. Less than a day later I received this:

Lindy,
Thank you so much for your RWB submission! I love how you tied up the
hem of your maxi. I'll have to try that this summer! And hahaha- your
PBR shot is awesome! :0)

When I read this I about had a heart attack. She sent me an e-mail!! wow!!! I know that maybe this is borderline crazy.....almost as bad as a girl crying at a 98 Degrees concert, but not quite. I realize that she's just a cool girl I happen to stalk through the internet, but I thought it was AWESOME of her to take the time to send a reply.

Now's the time to go to her website, Adored Austin, and enter to win! The prizes are fabulous and maybe you'll even get a personal shout out from the blogger herself.

beautiful betty.

so, I've stumbled upon a new blog to be bookmarked and I like it so much I wanted to share it with you. Le Blog de Betty is a whatiworetoday type of blog and this blogger has some serious style. She seems to like a lot of the things I do and and she can really pull off a rocker/chic look. While looking back through past posts I saw a lot of sequins, bows, tights, and booties so pretty much cutecutecute. Click the link above to check out her site. She's French, but all of her posts are in french and english. Her FAQ section is only in French, though, so I really can't tell you much about her. I'll post a few of my favorite looks so far, but really it's all pretty much perfect.

I love the simple/girly look here. i also love ruffles and the tan/black color combo.

All of her shoes are so fierce but i really love these boots. My favorite part of this outfit is hands down the feather cape. it looks so cool over her biker jacket and totally completes an otherwise basic ensemble. Click the link above to look at some of the up close pictures...it is so beautiful. I just might have to try to DIY something like this, but it would be incomplete without a similar jacket.

Love the gloves/Love the pants/LOVE the shoes.

(I've wanted YSL Cage Heels for SO long. I'm not sure if these are actually YSL but so cute just the same. I haven't come across any knock-offs that weren't horribly cheap but I'm still waiting for that day. This is one of those fashion pieces that if i find them out shopping at 80 years old I will still purchase them just for the chance to be the owner of something so beautiful.)

this look is very Chanel to me. I love the oversized dress and the girly accents. I want to wear a flower headband like that SO BAD but the texture of my fro-like hair just doesn't allow for it. Her bangs make the look that much better.

I'm positive now that I want to be her best friend.
