Gold Feathers with Leopard Spots

Hello readers! Yep, that's me below. I had my wonderful boyfriend take a photo of me for the Stella & Dot's Style on the Street contest. If only I could have run into Lisa Warninger from Urban Weeds to legitimately take my street style photo. This will do very well though. I entered the contest and am hoping to win $250 jewelry shopping spree and handbag with S&D! I think my chances are wonderful.

Of course, I could use your help! VOTE FOR ME!!! That would be fantastic! Voting doesn't start until the 6th but you can become a fan of S&D and look at all my competitors' entries right now.

So how do you like my outfit? Think I can win?
Pegasus Necklace, Chantilly Lace Cuff and Clover Double Wrap Leather Bracelet


Oh, side note...I've my tying my shirts for the past week now. In love with this look.

Take a Listen

I fully believe that I have excellent taste in music. I also am always on the search for new music. Lucky for me there is a fantastic new group from Portland, Oregon that I've had the pleasure of seeing live multiple times. Yes, the band members might be some of my greatest friends but they are incredibly talented and deserve all the praise. So do yourself a favor today and take a listen to some of their songs on their Facebook page (click on "band profile" to listen) or their website (still needs some renovation work to it).

What do you think of The Gemtones? Do you have a favorite song?

Style on the Street

I am planning on entering this awesome contest. I think I have a chance to rock it and walk away with the grand prize. Optimistic thinking here! So I am about to find some of my favorite outfits and new jewel and go for a style test run. I always am a huge fun of fabulous daily fashion blogs. Here is some fashion and posing inspiration from Christine at My Style Pill.

Any advice on how to capture a non-awkward fashion photo?
