March 18th: Weekend Update

This past weekend was so amazing!

Friday I was at the office most of the day.

After work, I ended up getting drinks with friends and going to a show at the 'Foxhole'.



Went to JCPenney and bought a few inexpensive pieces.

Loving this sweater/shawl that I only paid $8 for!

Also bought:

-nude super pleated chiffon miniskirt ($4)

-black and gold glitter skinnies ($4)



Gotta love 'Bobby's Bar'.

Can't beat $6 pitchers and cheap pool with friends.

 

Saturday night, Jeremy and I drove up to Atlanta for St. Patrick's Day Weekend

We hung out with friends Saturday night at 'Jack's Pizza'.

Sunday afternoon, Jeremy and I went shopping in 'Little Five Points' and ate lunch at the 'Vortex'.

Later on that night, our friend Brent met up with us and we went to the 'Tabernacle'.

I cannot believe I got to see one of my all time favorite bands: 'Deftones'

I've never been to the Tabernacle before, fell in love with the old building. 

SOLD OUT Concert!

Luckily we got pretty good seats on the first balcony, right next to the stage.

 

And of course I had to get a little shopping in while I was in Atlanta.

Bought a few bargains.

 

One can easily get caught up in the expensive fashions in Atlanta.

I always buy things at reasonable prices, even up there. 

The pieces from Urban Outfitters were all originally $50+ so I love catching things on clearance. 

 

Purchased from 'Urban Outfitters':

-'Pins and Needles' teal dress with a back cutout ($10)

-'Pins and Needles' blue lace peplum dress ($10)

-'Silence and Noise' metallic patent leather purse ($10)

-Black chiffon high-low skirt

 

Purchased from 'Ragorama':

-Black and cream cut-out dress with a high-low hemline ($23)

-Black and gray floral quarter-sleeve dress ($5)

 

 

This trip was just what Jer and I needed. 

Loved the time I got to spend with him and Boopi(yes, we brought him up to the A!)



March 10th: Weekend Update (White Trash Bash)

So Saturday was my good friend Chris' birthday.

It was a White Trash Bash and was totally awesome.

There was a lot of preparation for this party.

Chris' girlfriend Taylor and myself cooked a lot of food for the huge Nacho Bar.

Sam went redneck chic in the Camo tshirt and backwords hat.

I kept it classy with my 'Total Recall' wife-beater, daisy dukes, slippers, and curlers in my hair.

 

Jer got a Mullet haircut and a badass dragon tat on his neck.

 

My friend Brent and I made 350 jello shots for the occasion.

Flavors included:

-Cranberry, raspberry, with rum

-Peach whiskey

-Black cherry, rum, vodka

-Strawberry margarita with tequila

-Lime margarita with tequila

-Lime pineapple rum

 

Was definitely a night to remember.

the turnout was huge and Chris definitely brought in 2-5 right.

 

March 4th: Weekend Update (Cuckoo's Nest Skate Competition)

Here's a glimpse into my weekend

Saturday there was a Skateboard competition at the Foxhole bar.

It was put on by our local skate shop 'The Cuckoo's Nest'.

Very entertaining see the boys play a game of S.K.A.T.E for beer and other prizes.

Plus, some friends from Lagrange made it out :)

February 22: Last Call for Alcohol

Last night was Man Made Sea's last show @ the Foxhole. 

It was bittersweet. On one hand, all our friends were here and we had a blast.

But for the past three years, this band has been a big part of my life.

They're music is amazing, but the boys are all moving in different directions.

I cannot wait to see whats next for everyone.

Ruth, Kristin, and I

The Big 2-4

At midnight, we toasted Brittney's birthday!

Was so happy to have her here with her brother(Jer) and I to bring in her birthday.

 

Hooker love <3

Kristin (who usually is slinging drinks at the Foxhole) and I enjoyed our night off work.

Insert bedazzled leopard flask full of whiskey here.

My man <3 He's such a talented musician.

There's something super sexy about a guy playing drums.

 

 

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Friday night.

February 19th

It's very dull and gray outside, so I decided to layer up in some colorful clothes today. 

If you haven't already noticed, I have an eclectic mixture of thrifted pieces, pricey statement items, and other unique clothes from various department stores or boutiques.

My main goal of this blog is to reflect how easy it is to acquire good items of clothing at reasonable prices. I rarely spend a lot of money on big ticket items, because I can find just as lovely things at a thrift store. I balance out the thrifted items with other "name brand" items.

 

Outfit Details:

Chiffon multicolor dress from ROSS

Thrifted turquoise sweater

Thrifted necklace

Red tights

Black knee-high socks from JCPenney

Steve Madden black combat boots

 

The rain is hindering me from wearing my new boots! I sprayed them last night with suede protector but I wouldn't dare put them through today's weather. 

Obsessed with Minnetonka moccasins (this is my 6th pair).

You can find these amazing Double Fringe Tramper Boots here.

(I bought these on Zappos.com for a very reasonable price.)

Here's How:

Ingredients:

Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Crust (found in refrigerator aisle)

Pizza Sauce

Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Pepperonis

(Nonstick Cooking Spray)

(Dark Baking Sheet)

 

Directions:

-Spray pan with nonstick cooking spray

-Spread out pizza crust dough on baking sheet

-Fold the edges into the heart shape

(it's easily molded into the shape, I even stuffed some cheese in between the thicker parts)

-Bake JUST the dough for 8 minutes at 400 degrees (it may cook a little longer because it's so thick)

-Take out of the oven, and put pizza sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings you like,

-Cook for another 10 minutes (or until its all the way cooked and the crust is golden brown)

 

Enjoy <3

January 23rd

Hi I'm Kaki :)

 

And My Life Consists of:



Love:

My life is filled with the most amazing family and friends I could ever ask for.

I've been madly in love with my boyfriend ^Jeremy^ for two and a half years now.

 

Fashion:

 

Always been known for having my own true style.  Been thrifting since I was young and am obsessed with creating new outfits out of old clothes. 

Since the first of the year, I have been cataloging a different outfit for each day. Each morning after I finish getting ready for work, I (or my boyfriend Jeremy,or best friend Kori) take a few quick photos of my outfit for the day. The photos are amateur at best (mainly because I wake Jer up at 7:30 am to take them), but with work, they'll get better I promise.

The reasoning behind this little project is that I have an insane amount of clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, etc(pictures of my closet-room to come).
Maybe my looks will inspire someone. (Please give me cred. though) 

 

Crafts:

I have always been into making things.  Definitely known for going into Goodwill with twenty bucks and coming out with pure gold.  My boyfriend and I have a booth in a thrift mall where we sell yard sale finds, clothes, shoes, books, etc.  I work full time at the moment and haven't had a lot of time for crafts.  But they are definitely on my list of to do's for this blog. Plus, I got a Cricut Expressions for Christmas and am itching to make some cool stuff with it!

 

Eats&Drinks:

 

I love FOOD! Between my boyfriend and myself, we create quick, easy, and delicious meals.  Possibly some of our creations will land on this blog.  I also may include my couponing hobby as well as meal plans and grocery lists.

 

Parties:

 

I'm known for hosting some killer get-togethers.  I have a lot of experience with hosting friends and family over.  Tips, recipes, photos, and memories will definitely be shared.  Getting plans ready for an 80's themed birthday party next weekend!

 

Traveling/Festivals

 

One of my favorite pastimes is traveling.  Jeremy and I usually travel to different cities for concerts and music festivals. Although I was blessed to be able to travel to a few different countries(Army Brat), it was all before I was five years old.  So now, I am setting my sights on international travel soon.Also planning a little spring break trip and a few others.  All depends on money and work. 

 

Inspiration:

Pretty Self-explanatory. Pictures, quotes, lyrics, ideas that inspire me and my individual style.

 

My Animals:

I have two beautiful babies.

Boopi

CatFox

Adorable + photogenic, so they will be posted a lot.

Astrology:
For the past six or seven years, I have been getting into Astrology heavily, specifically its influences in Tarot. My Sun sign is Leo, with a Scorpio Moon sign. I have one astrological tattoo which I love. Hopefully to get more!
