one piece lovin

Apr 30, 2012





Hat~Forever 21, Silver Screen Suit~c/o Downeast, shoes~ Nine West 


Swim suit season is coming! I really liked this suit. It fits great and has adjustable/removable straps which I opted to remove.  I have a long torso and liked it better with out. The suit looked cute online but looked even better in person. I am normally not a single piece suit kinda girl but I gotta say I love it.

Livy, Selina, Sophie and Elise... doing an interpretive dance...







Sophie

+We are ACTUALLY sisters... for real 100%... believe it.
+We ALSO have 3 brothers who happen to be cute and single...
Sophie and Elise
+Selina Used to Play Velma in the Scooby Doo stage show at Paramount's Great America.. once at a show her wig spun on her head and her microphone pack fell out and swung like a pendulum between her legs...
one of Olivias designs
+Sophie was on ESPN2  competing in the top 10 college dance teams
+Olivia used to be a serious skater/tom boy
Selina Sophie and our brother Carlos... playing some serious dress up...
+Elise's nickname was "phatty" or "phat" for short
+Sometimes Sophie laughs like Sponge Bob
Sophie and Selina
+Olivia's nickname was weasel... because she used to "collect" things that didn't belong to her
+One time Olivia fell out a window into a planter while wearing vampire teeth
Sophie and Selina
+Sophie called her nursery teacher "the man with some hair and no hair" (he was bald with a beard)
+Olivia Studies Fashion Design at FIDM
+Sometimes Selina doesn't do her dishes for days..
Shaggy Scooby and Selina Velma
+Selina SWORE she would never have children (being the oldest was enough) and wouldn't get married till she was thirty... she was married at 19 almost 10 yrs ago and has 2 kids (who people think she "babysits" for)
+Olivia frequently uses one word expressions like "magic" instead of "wow, that's great" and "truth" instead of "you are so right, i agree"
+Elise is a cheerleader and she "flies"
+We ALL wear the same shoe size... including our Mom
+Sophie once had to pull Olivia back from a mosh pit by her suspenders because Olivia wanted to touch Davie Havock {lead singer of AFI} so badly..
+Sophie and Olivia used to sneak into Tennis courts at night and rig the lights so they could play
+we think we are really funny... but in reality the only one of us who gets actual laughs from non-family members in Elise
+Elise is a professional sleeper {or teenager, whatever you want to call it}she has this amazing ability to sleep till noon reguardless of when she went to bed...
+Sophie and Elise like to choreograph dances everytime they get together...
+Olivia and Elise always end up wrestling some how everytime they get together...
+Selina gets up every sat. morning at 6:30 to sing in a choir
+Olivia has donated the most shoes to Elises closet than all of us combined
+Olivia gives the best gifts
+Sophie has tons of bottles of coral-y red nail polish and everytime we shop for nail polish she picks up yet another version of the same color, like she has never seen it before!
+Olivia likes to dig her chin into your shoulder when she gives hugs... it makes your knees buckle... she thinks its hilarious
+Selina used to put lipstick on before bed in 5th grade so she wasn't lying when people asked if she put lipstick on {it didn't count if you put it on the night before}
+Selina's nostrils flare up when she laughs hysterically


to be continued....

J.Crew belt~Thrifted, Red Skirt~Thrifted, Floral Cardi~Katherine, Grey V-neck~Target, Black peep toes~ Payless

All I can say is I wish I had more weekends to spend with Sophie!
We had so much fun this last weekend... I enjoyed making outfits with the contents of her closet too.

This whole outfit  is Soph's except the lovely leopard tights... (Target Yeah!...and thanks mom)

(Don't mind my partially painted nails... 
I started picking it off at church and I couldn't stop.)

I cracked

Mar 8, 2011

Look how happy I am to be in a thrift store!!... or maybe it is because I am getting a picture taken by myself in DI and I just realized I am very close to this random stranger.
Really if there is anyone to blame it's Katherine.  She came into town with out much notice and there wasn't time to get my bearings so with in two minutes of a telephone conversation I asked her if she wanted to go thrifting... I'm SO weak!
Elise (SISTER #4)  was in town too!


We like STRIPES... and eachother. <3

A super cool shot of some of our rad clothing finds...we don't look awkward at all...

Sisters!... (can you believe there is 10 years between us?)...stop growing up Elise. now.

Weird faces for the road.

Alright you people, have you ever broken a goal? Tried to make a deal and CRACKED?
30 for 30's I'm talking to YOU!

xoxo~Sophie

PS
Thanks to a very supportive Katherine I spent a good amount of time taking in and fixing all but ONE of the things in my "clothing altering/taking in/fixing pile". There were like 10 things so I feel pretty good and like I wasn't that big of a cheater.

Never enough ACCESSORIES

Jan 12, 2011






Accessories are SO important... i feel sort of naked without them...

 i need to find a blast from the past pic of Elise's crazy style just a few years back... she wore it all, every necklace, every bracelet, every color of the rainbow... (piling it on is SOOOO fun), her style has evolved since then but i love that she has always been a bit fearless and through being fearless she has found her personal style...

NO RULES!!!! 
JUST STYLE!!!!

so,  another resolution
i solemnly swear to let Eva and Cora pick out their own outfits no matter how nuts they look....
{Half the time}

the theory is that they will figure out their own personal style at a much younger age and not be like me in the 4th grade matching from head to toe OBSESSIVLEY...

to personal style!

fancy shoulders.... out of Dollar T's

Jan 8, 2011



we DIE for the dollar store! especially when they sell irregular tees!! i found these pretty green ones at my local Dollar Tree and just knew they were meant for greatness... well, fanciness at least.





i used the big light green one for my ruffles...  i cut straight across arm pit to arm pit..
then i straightened out the bottom edge...
and divided what was left into 3 equal pieces... ( i only use 2 of them)
the only change i made to the shirt was to trim or seam rip any finished edge because i like the raw edges best!


i then took my strips and ran a gathering stitch (the longest stitch on your machine) in the center of each loop... pull gently on the bobbin thread and ruffle your heart out... (this was an XL shirt so it made very ruffle-y circles)



pin your ruffle-y circles on the shoulders where you want them...




and stitch them down with a zig zag stitch


give your shirt some fancy shoulders and send us a pic!
