Dream outfit

Last Saturday I held an art show for the super talented Jonquel Norwood and Lizzy Falcon. Their theme was "fairytales gone awry" so the gallery was basically a wonderland.

With the walls basically being a celebration of kick ass chicks, It seemed like the perfect time to rock a red jumpsuit. 

Ridiculous red jumpsuit from "rainbow" 

Shoes- Miss. Mooz

I heart red.

I was in a retro kinda mood.

I think my ten years in the south has finally payed off and the teasing Gods have accepted me :)

I had fun with this.

Peach lace

Sometimes you are blessed by the fashion gods and you find something that is so perfectly "you" that it sits in your closet because you're terrified to wear it incase you ruin it. 

This top was on a velvet hanger for way too long, I finally gave it life today! 

*sigh* it's just perfect.

Java Jive

Ou

Me and my good friend Betsy have been having breakfast dates once every couple  of weeks to chat, laugh, sometimes cry and discover all the delicious brunch offerings Atlanta has to offer.

This week we hit up Java Jive a sweet 50's diner that has been on Ponce de Leon for two thirds of my life.

We'll definitely be back!

Betsy's shoes are the moccasins; so cute!

My boots are $20 Target finds that I will wear until they fall off me. 

The interior of Java Jive is so adorable. There are around 12 sets of vintage dinettes to sit at. I'm glad Betsy got there first and decided for us. 

The food was definitely cooked with love, the coffee was scrumptious and the staff were super cool and laid back, but still attentive. 

#betsyandlynnedates are the best!

Biggie smalls is the illest.

I heart Biggie. 

Now errybody knows ;)

I'm so glad that 2013 is over. It was so hard. Harder than all of them before.

Here's to 2014! 

I hope it is full of love, laughter, glitter, great cappuccinos, polka dots, amazing art, full on hugs and all the things that make life great!

This skirt is so fun. I feel like a villain in a movie!

Fall into a new flow

Fall is my absolute favorite. 

Days like today make me want to stop time and be able to look at every sun ray bouncing off every color changing leaf.

I love this fall especially because it means  2013 is almost over.

It's been the toughest year of my life. 

I'm working towards making it better, so I started my blog again, hopefully it will give me the creative outlet I so desperately need. 

How are y'all anyway?

Happy Fall y'all! 

The prettiest dress

I know what you're thinking "Lynne, where the hell have you been?" And "will you ever stop wearing THAT shade of yellow?" Well, to  the second question, no. To the first, I got into a pretty horrible car accident that led to a stint in hospital. I'm ok, but I almost wasn't. 

And then after that.... I have been at work. ALL.THE.TIME. My business partner has been on mandatory bed rest for a while which has meant that I have been working open to close every day. Things are nuts.

Anyway, it's nice to see you. I miss you. How are y'all doing?

Eye liner gods were smiling on me today :)

Dress- ASOS curve

Hair- newly high lighted 

Shoes- Old Navy

A really awesome colored dirty shirt.

I feel like I'm committing some sort of blogger crime by posting a picture of myself in a dirty shirt, but you know what Internet, I own a coffee shop. So most of my life I spend wearing either coffee, bleach or dirty dish water. This shirt has all 3 of those things on it, but I had no one to take my photo this morning when I looked impeccably fresh and amazing (Ha!) so here is me haggard after a looooong day at work.

Happy Fat Tuesday!

Size "Lynne" please!

Every now and again someone asks me where I got my pants/shirt/jacket etc, and every now and again the answer is "Anthropologie". Any time that is my answer, the person asking inevitably squints their eyes a little as if to say "they make her size there?" Well, let me answer that question for all y'all.

No.

Anthropologie does not carry an 18, 20, or 22 in a skirt or pant, or do they offer a 3xl in any shirt or cardigan, but sometimes an XL can be sufficient. Because you know what? You never know until you try!
So I encourage you all, when you see something you love, try it on! You never know...unless it's a size 6 or something, that will never work ;)

Winter Warmth

I got this amazing blanket sweater from Simply Be recently. I placed my order weeks and weeks ago, and knowing that Atlanta usually has maybe 3 days of sweater weather I was watching my mailbox everyday!
When it finally got here it was still cold enough outside so I wrapped myself in its deliciousness and enjoyed every minute.
I wish winter would last longer.

Rockabilly cheapskate

 

Those websites that have rockabilly clothing for plus size bodies are soooo expensive.

With those lovely clothes in mind I stopped dead in my tracks when I found some tattoo inspired iron on patches not too long ago. I attached them to a cardigan that has been in my wardrobe for a long long time and made something that would probably cost me $100 for less than $15.

I love the results!

The higher the hair...

My hair has changed since I've had Teddy. The ends seem dryer, the color is a little lackluster and handfuls come out in the shower.  This is all normal after having a baby. It just sucks for want of a better word as it was so very lovely when I was pregnant. Oh well.

Usually the first thing I would do when I get sick of my hair is chop as much of it off as possible, but I'm giving myself until the end of the year before I get scissor happy. 

Here are a few styles I've tried out

A little bit of a poof. (how cute is my baby in his moose suit?)

Center part and wavy texture.

Giant bow for Christmas!

Yet another go at the beehive. I really want to get this right.

Straight.

 Middle part Helga Braids

What do you think guys? Shall I chop my bob back? Or just deep condition the heck out of my hair and keep it long?

Geordie Girl

Hooray! Today I wore real clothes!

I'm from Newcastle Upon Tyne in England, our football (soccer) team wears black and white stripes, so any time I see anything black and white I instantly think of home :)

Shirt- Simply Be

Skirt- Macys

Shoes- those red ones I wear ALL THE TIME

Earrings- Dorothy Perkins

I also like that this top kinda looks like a pjama top so it wasn't too much of a big leap into "real clothes" territory. Hee hee.

Shiver Shiver Sniff Sniff

The Tanzer household has been rather sad and sniffly this past week. We've been sharing our sicknesses with each other. This means that my outfits have consisted of pjamas and slippers I'm afraid, hence the lack of updates.

I have had time to browse all of my favorite clothing websites being cooped up in this place, so here is my "Holy guacamole Batman, I hope this is really cheap in the sales after Christmas so I can buy it and love it" list.

First ASOS Curve

 

I love the sleeve length and sweet collar on this skater dress. It has a little keyhole in the back too. Details like this make a dress feel special.

This bunny print shirt is adorable. I would wear this at an art show opening.

 

This shirt is so luxe looking. I know I'd wear it forever.

 

This just makes me happy.

This outfit needs to get on me NOW!

Maybe it's the 90's kid in me. I think she looks like a grown up Clarissa :)

 

I never thought a coat could be sexy, but this is. *sigh*

 

When I first saw this dress I gasped....then I gasped at the price tag :(
Please be under $75 soon! I can't justify $147.76...or can I?It's just so pretty.

Ok, next up 

Forever 21+

 

This dress could work anywhere. I'm digging the watermelon color too.

I wear the heck out of my black and white tank, so one in my favorite color seems like a good idea.

 

This sweater would make anyone smile 

 

This jacket is similar to an ASOS Curve jacket I still mourn the loss of.

I love basics with a twist.

There's only 1 thing I want from Old Navy





I am feeling all these hearts everywhere.

Simply Be 
has some pieces that I like a lot


That's a shoe print dress! 






This shirt glows. 

 
This looks oh so cozy. I want to wear it with red jeans!
I also pretty much want all of the Frock and Frills line as it's so romantic.

So, that's it for now. 
I'll be back with an outfit soon I swear.
UNless I can get away with wearing pjs to work tomorrow....
