Turban Headband and Flowers

Hi all,
I've been eyeing turban headbands for quite some time but was always hesitant about how one would look on  me or what people would think-- I get tons of annoying stares by solely rocking a bright lipstick.
Recently, I've been feeling a lot bolder when it comes to fashion, so I went ahead and bought one.
I purchased this specific creamy one at Ross for $4.99, but I've also seen them at Rue 21, Papaya, and a few other stores.
I opted for this color because I figured it would be easier to style although now I feel like that's not particularly true. Not because the color was hard to work with, but because mix and matching with the other available colors would have actually been a lot of fun.
Regardless, the piece itself is really cute, and while it did draw quite a bit of attention, I like it. I might even buy another in a different color.
I paired the piece with a sweater of a similar color from Guess and a denim jacket-- both gifts-- on top and went for loose, floral shorts from Forever 21 to balance out the warmth of the outfit. You can't see from the pictures, but I am wearing my blue oxfords, and lastly, my lipstick is Eucalyptus by NYX.
That's going to be it from me for today, but I'll be posting every Tuesday and Thursday (with the exception of Thanksgiving Thursday) from now on, so stay tuned for that.

As always, thank you for reading!
Meow and out,
Gabee

The Flower Cat


I've been the flower girl at two weddings. Once when I was four and the other when I was 10-- I don't remember either. I have a theory, though, that my title as a two-time-flower-girl makes me appreciate all flower girls, or it just makes me really like flower petals. That's what this outfit is. A WHOLE BUNCH OF FLOWERS.
I also feel like it's the perfect spring outfit (if such season existed in Phoenix-- these pictures were taken in 92 degree weather) because of the colors and a whole new take on floral.
Both the shorts and top are from Forever 21. I bought them, along with other cute items I shall feature soon, with birthday money, so I was able to be slightly less concerned with prices. I want to say the top was $17 and the shorts $13, so it really wasn't bad.
I wore this with plain brown flats that at one point belonged to my sister so I don't quite know where they're from.
The fedora I bought at Ross last summer for $7(?). I kind of love it and wish I wore it more often (this means expect it in upcoming features).
The best bargain of the outfit are my fabulous sunglasses. There is this little accessories/alterations shop near my house (on 99th Ave. & Lower Buckeye Rd. for those of you in the valley) that sells jewelery along with other accessories, including sunglasses, starting at just a dollar. Their sunglasses, specifically, are $3.99 each or two for $5.99. My sister bought me these on my birthday and got herself the other pair. We also got really cute, huge, matching owl rings I will show y'all later for only $4.
Speaking of birthday presents, Noemi got this neat-o record player for hers which made a very nice prop for our photo shoot, and I may or may not have touched something I wasn't supposed to...

You can see more pictures from all our features over on our Facebook page!
