Fa Hairstyle

It's pretty evident through this blog that I have a thing for headbands and headpieces. Whether it be a simple skinny bow headband or a intricate floral crown, I think it's the perfect accessory for making any outfit a little more interesting. For my last Best of 2009 feature, I leave you with the top 5 heapieces worn throughout the year. Most of these I've crafted up myself. The Maypole headpiece} headband/Target, flowers/Trim store Yes, this was last night's nye floral crown. A proper post to follow . Black Rose Headpiece} headband/Claire's, flower}Trim store At first I thought that this one flower was a little over the top. Who knew what else I was going to be wearing in 2009. (see top picture) Fool Proof Headpiece}Scarf/Thrifted, Ring/Trim store One of the easiest headbands ever. The ring is supposed to be for a belt. Loop it through a scarf and voila . Having Fun headpiece}Scarf/India Sometime all you need is a long scarf tied in a bow to make a summer outfit l...

The hardest feature out of all of them as I have made it a conscious effort to add more dresses to my wardrobe this year. It's so tough to only choose five out of what seems like a million dresses. These we're some that stood out this year and others that just seem like they've been in my wardrobe forever ans need a mention. Not Katy Perry dress} Kensie I love playing dress up and this dress lets me do just that. Vintage Inspiration Dress}Vintage via Beacon's Closet The time I won the Modcloth/chictopia contest . Nautical one dress}kensiegirl Hands down one of my most favorite outfits in all. BK Vintage Dress} Vintage via Flea Market My first purchase in Brooklyn! It took alot of work hemming and cutting but I finally got it perfectly. The Blues dres}Lux Urban Outfitters A more casual dress for layering or just on its own.

12:06am, yikes! I was hoping to get two posts done per day but looks like I've missed it by 6 minutes...or however minutes it is until I'm finally done pressing the "publish" button. In any case, before this blog, I never really thought that I wore that many shorts. Actually my thighs aren't at all to my liking and when I go to the gym ( I try) I usually spend more time on the stationary bike, and on the weird thigh strengthening contraptions...kind of like Susanne Summer's thighmaster. Well going through my fave outfits of 2009, I feel like shorts and rompers are definitely making themselves comfortable amongst my dresses and skirts...so here they are. It began Romper}Brooklyn Industries via Beacon's Closet I know this might not be a crazy cool outfit but on this particular day I met Nickie for the first time. After this meeting we we're inseperable all Summer long. Me? Icon? Shorts} kensiegirl This was August 1st. I became a style icon on chictopia, ...

For the second part of this 5 part feature of my best outfits of 2009, I give you the skirt. Yes, it would be simpler to throw on a dress and get on with your life but a skirt is much more complex than that. It requires a mate for it to be paired with and possibly a few accessories like tights and a belt. A little more effort but when you get it right, you're feeling pretty darn great. Here are my "I feel great" moments wearing a skirt: A teal tulip skirt} H&M So many outfits have been created using this skirt. I decided to post the very first time I wore it. A red staple skirt} Vintage via Value Village Every lady needs a short red skirt in their weardrobe. It was actually raining when I was taking this pic, but I know you can't really tell. Getting started skirt}Thirfted via Value Village I had to include this outfit since it's been seen over and over  as part of my old blog header . Simply Blue Skirt}kensiegirl I love how simple this outfit is without being...

So I've been thinking of doing a "Best of" (of meaning outfits) to wrap up 2009. Well, apparently, this isn't all that original of an idea as many bloggers have already been posting theirs. So I started thinking of other ways to go about it, like best by month, or best by season, and then the merchandiser in me took over and I decided to give you The Best of by classification (ie: dress, skirt, top, pant). I'm starting out by giving you the hardest item for me to wear without feeling like I've just given up and am just like the rest of them: PANTS. Those who've been following me have heard my rants on pants (haha) before but I think I'm finally giving into the idea that pants CAN be fun too. Here's the proof, in no particular order: Paris anyone? Pants}H&M The perfect pair if highrise skinny cigarette pant. Classy Chloe Pant} Thrifted via Value Village The only thing I remember from this night is having to leave the bar,  falling asleep on the ...
