Guest Post: Five Fashion Books to Read & Love

Hi! This is noblebeeyotch from Call Me Stylista and the lovely Michelle asked me if I could do a post here on Wicked Whimsy. Let me tell you how incredibly excited I am about being here.
There are people (like us) out there who are born with style and fashion in their blood. We call them the Stylistas. But [...]

BRB, moving

Regular posting will resume sometime next week – we’re moving into the new place all this week! I’m doing loads of small things while Matt’s at work and then we’re finishing up on Saturday.

And THIS is why I moved to Texas:

It is 15 degrees outside & with the wind-chill, it’s -7. YIKES.
The photo was taken with my new digital camera, that is all swanky and has a rechargeable battery and stuff. And, worth nothing, also does video. I actually took a video of it snowing last night, but it was very dark and also my parents have [...]

The Countdown Begins
Edited by Dramatis Personae
The countdown has begun–not only until the end of the year–but until the end of the first decade in the 21st century. That’s kind of amazing to think about. Styletastic and Sway, Sway, Away! both look at fashion from the Oughts with two distinctly different visions. [the3st] interviews [...]

Marvelous Monday!

First off, happy solstice, to those who celebrate it!
I won’t lie, posts this week will probably be thin on the ground. We’ve got tons of things to do today and then we leave in the morning for Missouri & won’t be heading back until Sunday. Posts will probably  be pretty sparse over the next two [...]

“Eating people alive? Where’s that get fun?”

I decided my daily outfit post titles were boring. Decided that from now on, they will be quotes instead. Would be lying if I said that Diana didn’t spark the idea!
It’s been a bit of a crazy week; hence no post on Wednesday. Job interviews and looking at places and such. If everything goes according [...]

Best of ‘09: the place I live

So Gwen Bell is doing this thing. Where a huge variety of people reflect on their year. I think it’s a fabulous idea to reflect on the previous year before starting the new one, so I’ll be participating when a particular prompt speaks to me.
Today’s prompt: What’s the best change you made to the place [...]

Saturday Shoelust

I’ve been lusting after these since I saw them on Zoetica. The cut of the boot is super flattering to shorties like me, who don’t want the unfortunate tree-trunk-leg effect, and I know JUMP shoes are well made and comfortable. By the time they went on deep clearance (I think $40?) at the end of [...]

Daily Outfit 12/5/09

Here we have: Fluevog engineer boots, lace tights from TJ Maxx, red t-shirt from Kohl’s, H&M lace top via eBay, secondhand Hyde studded belt, secondhand flapper-esque necklace, and some old-ass black plastic bangles. Hot Topic, maybe?
Oh, and the nail polish:

This stuff is awesome. It’s Sally Hansen 92 Deeply Violet in the Diamond Strength line. [...]
