purple acid wash tank + selling things

I have come to the realization recently that I can't keep nearly as many things as I have collected over the years.. It's just ridiculous as I don't use/wear half the clothes/accessories I have.

SO I have listed more things on my etsy :)

BUT there are a few things I can't sell on Etsy because they aren't vintage or handmade, email me at alissaliachenko@gmail.com if you're interested in any of the things I will be posting within the next few days.  Just email a PayPal offer I don't have set prices for anything.

These are the shoes in my look today, they are size 8.  Worn only a few times also they are very tall, but comfortable and wearable. F O R S A L E

This Romwe bag (purchased for $50) is also in quite a few of my looks, and in my video review, and has only been used a few times.  None of the spikes are missing and its pretty good quality. F O R S A L E

And here is today's outfit:

green lacoste glasses

I am so excited I just got new glasses!!  It's a wonderful thing because my other ones are so scratched up because I was once an irresponsible teen...

The eyeglass store didn't have Lacoste cases so instead of that stylish green one I got a cute Juicy Couture case with a nice microfiber cloth.

And here is my OOTD:

accidentally went shopping

Today I woke up a little late and ran to the post office to ship things for Etsy, and it closed as soon as I walked inside. Feeling depressed and angry, I walked into some stores (big mistake).  The addition of a new bag today prompted me to photograph my purses together.  I have more than this as well they're just not in the best condition which is why they aren't photographed.  I also used to have more nice ones I just sold them all...

(from top left and over)

1. Beige cross body bag, found it in a thrift store in Hot Springs, Arkansas when I visited a little over a month ago.
2. Just got that white satchel style one with gold detail; brandless and thrifted from Salvation Army.
3. Black simple fake turnlock bag, looks like the Primark version. I forget where I got it.
4. The first Juicy Couture bag I ever got, a pink and purple Daydreamer :)
5. Louis Vuitton Speedy multicolor, bought in Moscow last summer.
6. Floral tapestry bag, purchased at a Goodwill thrift store in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
7. Cone studded black bag, from romwe.
8. (hard to see) Blue Juicy Couture quilted cross body bag with gold detail, one of my favorites :)
9. Blue envelope from eBay, it was only $10 shipped from China!
10. Gorgeous cream studded bag I purchased today, it was only $25 but when most of my purses are thrifted.. that's expensive.
11. Metal handle beige bag, I saw people toting these around last summer in Moscow and hunted one down. I found this one in a market style shopping area & it was only 600 rubles. At the time (not sure of the exchange rate at the moment) that was approximately $12.
12. Another thrifted purse!  Purchased at Goodwill in Bradford again.  

I got this really cool ring for $10 today!  The spikes are moveable and it doesn't seem to be self hazardous yet.

I also got a pair of completely lace underwear for $2. I've been looking for those for a while.

If I ever got the opportunity to buy my dream purse, it would have to be one of Marc Jacobs'. They are so simple, stylish, elegant and classy while looking super durable.  I have also *felt* one before (it was great) the leather on them is the softest nicest kind.  If I could choose any one, it'd be the Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Voyage Satchel. :) It's $500.. but then I'd never have to purchase another purse... sigh.  Click the picture to buy.

Alsoooo I'd like to inform you all of romwe's latest coupon code!!

how did i get stuck on this page

I have had this brandless skirt forever.  The band is twisted so it's an awkward fit, however paired with my children's belt that I use as a high waist skinny belt (it also has cute heart cutouts in it :3) I believe it works.

The bag is for sale on my Etsy, I love it, however it's doesn't fit the trunk load of things I like to carry with me.

Also, I've been admiring Kourtney Kardashian's cat eye sunglasses for while now

& just found some cheap replica's on Amazon!

goodbye

I've always loved the converse look-with anything short (skirt or shorts).  Combined with my new blonde hair I think it's an extremely cute way to redefine my style if that's what I'm going for-however if you haven't noticed by now, I don't have a style to redefine; I consider myself a chameleon.

Streetheart Summer Line Release Party

Tonight I was fortunate enough to attend the Streetheart Clothing Line Summer Release trunk show/party. Located at a relaxed bar's backyard, this was a really chill display of beautiful clothes and vintage.

I bought a lipstick knife from them I love it :).  I also got free stickers and a lighter.  The designers were super nice, helpful, and accommodating.   Their style is like high class street fashion.  Also, the event was organized beautifully and set up well, I enjoyed myself.

dumb blonde

Finally I took the plunge and went blonde... there's still some toning to be done, and eventually I want purple/blue ombre tips but I'm so excited that this happened! It was a spur of the moment decision which is the best kind of decision.  I live by sheer impulsiveness.

This was my outfit last night ~ wasted on running through woods and such lol.

the first cigarette of the day gives me anxiety

First shoot with my Canon 20d :)

I went to the salvation army yesterday and spent $12, I got the purse above (apparently brandless, but it was only $2), a brand new h&m vertical striped button down ($3), pink shorts ($3), and a Phillies hat for $4. I realize I don't watch sports nor do am I from Philadelphia but I still like it :)

I went to this really cool overlook/ledge/cliff type place that you have to walk through a lot of woods to get to, and when you finally arrive the premise is simply a couch on a cliff with not much room to do anything but sit on the couch and look.  The direct view includes American Eagle official headquarters. It's beautiful at night.  Also, it had recently rained and was extremely wet, not only that but I guess the cliff was a little unstable from the rain and I almost fell through the mud.

miss you

Today was slow I dedicated it to learning to use my DSLR.  This is nothing like I usually post, but the photographs I can take with this camera have given me a new lease on things I can do with my blog.  My top is American Apparel.

Romwe.com Hauls and Review

I have been promising this video review for the LONGEST time, and finally I am finished with it! Enjoy, and remember http://romwe.com is probably the best site to get clothes overseas :)

3000 lookbook followers!

I have been so busy lately I'm surprised I finally reached 3000 lookbook followers with these last two looks!  I have also been planning a shoot on railroad tracks for a while... I admit I was scared at first because I never even know when trains come, but thankfully not one came for the hour I was there. :)
Also am editing my Romwe.com review video right now.. I don't look too great however.

I also added new items to my etsy!

life through instagram pt 1

1. Shorts that I bought in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I always try to hit every Goodwill anywhere I go in case they have something cool ^_^. I found them in the children's section and cut them myself.
2. My favorite perfume EVER is running out.  I do want to get Chanel Chance though :)
3. I bought another black v neck in Palo Alto...I have an obsession. Its just from Target but it fits so well :)
4. My tattooo. I probably posted this picture before but I love it so much. I need to get it touched up.
5. New makeup.  I do like Rimmel and it's quite cheap. I need the Urban Decay Naked Pallette soon...
6. Flowers in Palo Alto :)

my galaxy leggings finally came!!!

I literally have been searching for galaxy print tights or leggings for over a year now.... And while blackmilk has some always, this pair from romwe was afforable and they are the most comfortable pair of leggings I have EVER owned. Literally I just want to slither around in them lol

Yay they fit so perfectly :D

This outfit may seem a bit ridiculous when taking into account the 85 degree weather, but I assure you all... I was getting a nice breeze from sitting on this ledge :)

My studded bag is also from romwe, the shoes are Forever 21 (winter collection I guess haha), and the top is vintage and found at Goodwill !

I havent actually used my new beginner DSLR... I mean I've shot photographs numerous times, I just cant get comfortable with self timer without live view.. idk its weird even though I cant see it it helps.  It probably doesnt help that I AM used to a point and shoot with a flip out screen right now :p 

Btw, I have now employed the biggest discount of my Etsy store HISTORY- 35% off for the rest of the month!!!!

I really need to get rid of some of this inventory so I can get more :D
