Paisley?!

Who would have ever thought that my mother's closet could yield such amazing pants! I couldn't resist wearing them with this vintage blouse. The feminine collar and shoulder pads make this pale-pink (thrifted) shirt completely perfect in every possible way. Needless to say, I'm in love. It seems I spend half of my time in book stores and the other half drinking coffee. This is just one of those oh-so-frequent outings.

Funny Bunny

Happy Easter everyone! Though a few weeks late, I hope you all found yourselves with family and great food (and maybe a few chocolate eggs!) this Easter. Nothing says "Spring!" more than being outside and seeing the lovely color our garden turns. Everything is so lush, I would stay out there forever if not for the bugs!

Update!

Hey everyone! It's been so long- this blog has been on a bit of a hiatus until I could finish with some school work and theatre productions. All that being over, I have bunches of things to share with you! I have been keeping up with Instagram for the past few weeks, so here are some hilights! 

(From left to right)

1. Vintage Ralph Lauren pants. Whoever said nobody looks good in paisley was telling falsehoods, friends.

2. Forest Perk! My favorite coffee hang out. 

3. There are still balloons from Valentine's day floating in the Library. What? Where can I get some...

4. I've completely fallen in love all over again with Pablo Neruda. I've been scribbling copies of his poems on everything! I love that edition because it provides both the Spanish and English translations, I'm partial to Spanish myself, but whatever floats your boat. 

5. I have been working non stop on The Wiz! Working on the lighting was quite interesting, and the show turned out very well. For my last High-School production, I couldn't have asked for anything better. 

6. Since theatre is winding down, I've picked up painting again. Right now it's an abstract mess of nothing, but I hope to turn it into something. 

Over all, these past few weeks have been hectic and exciting! I have fashion posts for Easter and other awesome times to come, so stay tuned! 

April Fools, Coffee Rules

Crestwood Coffee is quite the "hipster" hang out. Lined with books and modern art, it is a haven for intellectuals and artists alike. The boy and I stopped in because our usual coffee hang-out was closed. We managed to escape the heat for a few minutes and ended up having some very interesting discussions. I can't seem to get enough of these moccasins or this green Target jacket! Not long 'til summer now! Happy April!

A Leopard Can't Change its Shoes...

Wow, it's been a busy week! Sorry I've not had time to update. All week I have been working tech-theatre for a show called Zap! We were let off from class Friday, and I had a sleep over with some members of my Tupperware club (a place for strong females in Birmingham). This week has been a blast of hectic, crazy fun. I caught up with the boy today and we spent the day walking around the Forest Park area. (Yes, it's possible to take a stroll in shoes like these!) A leopard can't change its spots, but I definitely had to change my shoes.

What's on 2nd?

A little bit of everything, honestly. From old school Furbies to vintage clothes and costume jewelry, plastic Santas to LPs, assorted kitchen items to old cameras and film, this place literally has a bit of everything. Feeling the Monday blues, the boy and I decided to take a trip down there and look through the interesting stock of things. One of my friends who has a booth there gave me a great deal on a vintage photograph which is going right up in my room. A slouchy but chic get-up is a perfect way to start the week back from Spring Break. Back to class, back to reality! 

Wearing: Vintage-Thrifted sweater (from What's On 2nd?), Delia*s shirt, Urban Outfitters skirt, Urban Outfitter's heels, Vintage bear-bag, Vintage pearls, ASOS Micky Mouse watch, Thrifted glasses.

One by One and Two by Two

The Birmingham Zoo is really a lovely place. The boy and I had not been in quite a while, so we took the chance of us both having a free day to head into Mountain Brook and go visit some animals! I used the occasion to wear this lovely animal print dress from Delia*s and this cute little necklace from Stitched and Adorned. This Spring I've just been going wild with prints!

Wearing: Delia*s dress, Stitched and Adorned necklace, Thrifted shoes, and Thrifted belt.

My New Favorite Thing...

This Micky Mouse watch from ASOS is definitely never leaving my wrist. The strap is smooth, the colors are vivid, and above all it's adorable. In a time of huge statement necklaces and other large (usually floral) jewelry, it's nice to have something cute and understated. It's perfect for any casual occasion.

Amarillo, Azul, Rojo!

Rojo is a cute little bar/restaurant located off of Highlands. The boy and I had a wonderful dinner with an old friend and caught up over some delicious food. This day has been so great in general, I've been having a great time with friends and getting good vibes off of everyone. I hope the rest of Spring is this laid back, having time to take a break and get ready for the busy Summer to come would sure be nice. Anyway, enjoy!

Welcome to Felines and Fabric!

Hey everyone, I'm Ali Whitt. Spring is here and with it, a chick with a love for cats and a passion for fabric. Here in Birmingham, Alabama- the weather has been feeling quite like summer. It's been in the eighties almost everyday this week, the perfect temperature to enjoy the great outdoors and grab some sunshine. The boy and I visited the Botanical Gardens today, pic-nicked with friends, and had an overall good time. I've been dying to clash these floral prints- paired with some simple white shoes, I can't get enough!
