I know, I've been extremely neglectful to my blog but I'm been swamped with moving procedures, launch of my website, moving procedures, and working a full time job. There has been a lot going on but I'll definitely be getting back in the swing of things. It's been very difficult due to my car issues...I don't have one [thanks parking tickets & DMV!]. The little things like grocery shopping and getting the daily necessities have become a challenge; alternatives like using the bus are a b**** to take all your groceries on....I was entirely spoiled by having a car. I literally drove anywhere including my sporadic trips to LA to visit the boyfriend. But now, I'm getting used to public transportation including BART. I'm heading to the city this week to do my first video interview and I'm hoping that it will work out well. Wish me luck.  If I'm going to make it one day in NYC, I've got to get the public transportation down...

I'd die to be there right now; the environment, the music, the sounds, the feel. Jay-Z has been stuck in my head ever since him and Alicia Keys performed at the VMA's.

New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Out of New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you

Back to reality...my website is going well and I'm excited to say that I'll be having another round of new interviews with some fabulous people including my first video interview!! Also, let me know what you guys think, what's missing, what's not working and anything else. It really helps me to weed out the icky, sticky stuff and keep the website clean and free of nonsense. Check it out at www.profreshstyle.com. I also didn't even realize I was on the Forever 21's flickr page and I was so happy to find out when I went to a lovely fellow blogger's site, Fashion Trend Guide who was also featured on the page. Many of my favorites such as Blushing Ambition and Fashion Chalet were also featured so it was felt nice to be in such great company. Click here to see my chosen outfit on the site.

On another amazing note, my boyfriend came into town which was so great. I've missed him so much and he's finally here...well he left today but that's why I was mainly on a hiatus. We went looking at apartments because he'll finally be joining me here and I can't wait. We're waiting for approval as I type, so keep those fingers crossed. He was also my photographer which was definitely a change from my norm of self-timer. We enjoyed being lazy together; that's all you can do when it's been long distance; no need for crazy events, long trips or any of the sort.

I'll leave you with these amazing shots I took of flowers I got by one of my favorite florists.

DIY; Drapery.

OH my lord; what a fantastic day today was. Had some amazing customers, every one who walked in loved my outfit and I got theeee best compliment in the world…made my day.

“…look at her. she’s so put together. look at her jake (her son or whoever), she must be a model…”

                                                        -ladies in the grocery store :) BIG OL’ SMILE.

so i had this Emma & Sam maxi dress from last season from LF and I’m not feelin’ it anymore but I really wanted to rock it because no need to waste some cotton. So, I was on Playingwithfire’s chicblog and fell in love with the drapery & belt..hence why I did it with my dress. I totally digged it all day which was quite satisfactory…put me in a good mood. I feel chic, sophisticated and quite sassy.


by the way, i heard my blog address, www.nobodyknowsyou.net was taking you to my blog so fashiontablet.blogspot.com is my original name and that will take you to my nobodyknowsyou blog :).

AND also, thanks for all the fabulous comments! You guys have no idea; they seriously make my day! Every time I get an email that says [____ new comment]...I get so excited!

Stay tuned for some really amazing interviews! :)

Sparkle Heaven.

Today was a great day off. Ran tons of errands including Ikea, Target and good ol' Yogurtland. If you haven't been, you must go. So delicious, it's ridic. It's even better than Pinkberry...I know.

My blouse is from Buffalo Exchange, sort of like a consignment shop. It's huggeeee! I purchased two of these sequin tops but I particularly like this one because it has crazy sharp shoulders which is on trend, and gorgus. I got them about a year ago and I'm going to go back again because it's been a while since I've been and I'm dying for a sequin dress and a sequin blazer.

The shoes...I know right? die, die, die. I went on a random shoe shopping spree, at where else, Target. Well, not really where else...but I found some fantastic ones which I now regret returning and only keeping these black ones. But hey, they are cute right?

Anywho, I noticed that you lovely readers thought that the last entry was me in the pictures...but actually that's the milliner's daughter-in-law. Her hair is pretty awesome right? But it's not me...you gotta read the entries in the latter, sillies. But yes, go to Zazu & Violets Hats.

Inspired; a not-so-daily occurence.

Today was a glorious day off. Woke up late, drank a cup of joe, ate an egg sammie and watched my girl Rachael Ray and The View. My friend Alexia, joined me in an excursion to the mall to check out window displays and to get out of the house. Ohhh, how the mall is soooo old. Unfortunately, we weren't looking to spend lots of money or go traveling far out of our "jurisdiction" to find some great stores. However, I did truly enjoy Forever 21's new Cirque 21 line. I really did love it but unfortunately the pieces were too short for me because I wanted to buy these pieces specifically for work. [sad face]. But for those who party all the time, party all the time, pa-pa-party all the time, the new line is pretty unique and somethin' else.

Oversized Sweater; Mossimo Target
Black Belt; Betsey Johnson Betsey Johnson but they don't feature any belts on the website!
Denim Shorts; Forever 21 Forever 21 Not the same but similar.
DIY Lace Shorts; Made from floral/lace leggings from Wet Seal
Cowboy Boots; Target (No longer available. Purchased a hella long time ago).
Feathered Earrings; LF Stores LF Stores but no longer in season. Purchased two seasons ago.
Hella bangles and jewlery; from everywhere!

Was totally inspired by a fellow blogger, Caylee from If You Seek Style. I just recently started following her blog and absolutely fell in love with her "look"; particularly her DIY lace shorts. I've been trying to find ones in stores for such a long while and finally, Caylee has given me the inspiration. She created her own lace bike shorts by cutting a hair of lace tights, so I've done the same and soooooo happy I did.

lots of love, Alice Temperley.

It's so funny how much respect I get when I'm wearing just an ol' Targesa (Target) top. Weird. lol. I bought this top about two years ago when Alice Temperley did an affordable line for Target and I fell IN LOVE with this little stunner and I still wear it to this day, obvi.

Work was really slow today; assuming back to school vacations are coming to an end and everyone is getting back to normal soon. But I had some very interesting characters grace their presence at my store that gave me a giggle or two. I had little sleep and a huge pimple on my forehead, hence the ginorm headpiece covering it. When I went into Peet's for my usual, the girl asked me what I called what I was wearing and I told her, "a pimple cover-upper" lol. She gave an awkward giggle and handed me my change. LOL. hey, whatev.

And yes, I know...i'm rockin' acid wash and it's pretty horendous but I'm dreading buying jeans because I despise them so I'm rockin all my old jeans... :)

Grey blouse; Alice Temperley for Target (no longer available)
Black and White Acid Wash Jeans; Vanilla Star Wet Seal but purchased years ago so I doubt they are still there.
Flower Headpiece; Forever 21 Forever 21

Fishtail Spin.

short and sweet; due to exhaustion. So obsessed with Peet's coffee; my guys, Evan and..and..damn I can never remember the other guy's name but he calls me Madonna :). Anyways, they always give me quite a wonderful cup of joe.

goodnight.

Look of the Day: Double Breasted.

Always Coca-Cola. Today, was a pretty good day! One of my greatest clients came in and made my day so great. She's this upbeat, amazing woman with a huge spirit and gives me such hope for my days. I dressed her in the latest from Riki and she looked like a doll; so sophisticated and sexy.

I felt really good today in my outfit; I'm learning to take the bus as the metropolitan girl that I am (becoming) and I feel sometimes like such a fool in my outfits because I'm always dressed way more fancier than anyone aboard...but it makes the adventure even more hilarious. Anyway, the jacket I got was from a clothes swap and I totally dig it. It's got SHOULDER PADS which are awesome considering how "in" they are and I paired it with my rugged cowboy-esque boots. I'm craving this particular pair from BCBG, which I bought then returned only because I don't need them quite yet. I'll wait til the heel falls off my current ones :).



They are cute right?! Once they get all beat up; I'll probably beat it with chains and rub it in the ground. LOL; BDSM...wait is that how you smell spell it?

I forgot in my last post to mention what I was wearing and where to buy and I'm way too lazy to go back and add so I'll add what I'm wearing in this post.

ANNDDD..I'm stuck on a new blog; like seriously obsessed! It's www.lovemaegan.com. Seriously OBSESSED! Her DIY section is incredible. I think I want to interview her for my next "Meet the...".

xoxo.

Sailor Sally is Here

My outfit posts are back! I know, I know, I'm usually writing about someone else's craft but I miss posting my looks but I'm going to keep it down to a minimum, only posting the best!

I've always loved Motel ever since my previous employer carried the label in store. I only owned one dress, the polka dot bubble dress from last season but I decided it was time to expand my Motel collection. I'm huge on "wishlist shopping" and I was doing so on the Motel website, which I do on a weekly basis, putting pieces on a list and not actually purchasing. Well, I decided to break that trend and purchase a unitard. Little did I know that I was purchasing MY ENTIRE WISHLIST. :) Ohhhh the dramz. So this little number is one of the pieces I "had to have".

Summer is here; and I dressed accordingly.
