Frilly little girl...

So recently, my favorite lingerie boutique (and blog) Faire Frou Frou announced on their facebook that they were hiring for a new sales associate, to which I eagerly applied with my resume via e-mail. The following Monday I received a wonderful surprise--a phone call from the wonderful Alison Rubke, (a.k.a. Miss Frou Frou herself) who asked me to come in for an interview. I was so excited! So then I met with her and, to my surprise, she hired me right on the spot! Tuesday was my first official day working at the boutique and I had a blast. It was wonderful being surrounded by so many pretty underpinnings! The whole store just makes your inner girl instantly come out!

We had some fun opening up a box full of new goodies from Mimi Holliday by Damaris (of which I'm a HUGE fan), including this adorable red polkadot 'Confetti' balcony bra (with garter and panty) and a sexy, yet sweet 'Angelique' bow tie thong! It was like Christmas!

Alison also insisted that I pose for the Faire Frou Frou Instagram, so I decided to let out my inner Vargas girl and give everyone a peek at my own lingerie :)

Dress & shoes: F21, garter belt: Victoria's Secret

I was feeling a bit lazy, so I didn't end up straightening my hair that day; I just styled it into victory rolls (left my hair curly/natural) and put the bottom half in a net. I find its quickly becoming my lazy 'do lol I wore the dress and shoes from my mom's wedding, with a hair flower that I bought at the market in downtown Huntington Beach. I absolutely love that flower. Its pretty realistic-looking for being so cheap! Lol!

Anyhoo! Hope you all around wonderful! Try to keep cool in the last bit of this summer sizzle! <3

In my own little corner...

As I get settled into my temporary place of living for the next few months, I can’t help but dream of my own little home; where it will be and how it will look. Unfortunately, I have very expensive eyes (something I inherited from my mother) and it can be difficult at times living with champagne tastes on a beer budget. If you lined up five very similarly-looking items, I will never fail to pick out the most expensive one out of the whole bunch, but I guess that just means I have a keen sense of quality? Anyway!

I’ve been dreaming of how I want to decorate my little one-bedroom or studio apartment when I get it, and I already have my sights set on a particular community in historic Los Angeles, but I know that my apartment will likely end up looking more like an antiques store if anything, which I don't mind if you don't ;) haha

I've mostly been drawing my inspiration from old photographs of celebrities in their homes, and some modern takes on vintage furnishing...

I really can't wait to have my own little corner where I can dress it up to my heart's content. I love the idea of purple, or even powder pink or tiffany blue, but I also can't get over just how classic silver and white gold are. I love art deco, and even Rococo design, but I just want to feel like a complete glamour goddess when I get home from work and kick off my heels and slip into a silk dressing robe. Yes, that's the life for me. Speaking of which...

I already have the vintage Dior robe just for the occasion! Lol!

And I will faint dramatically into bed in it like so! ;)

Goodnight, all! Sweet dreams!
