Hello My Name is Ally and I'm a Shopaholic;

So I did some shopping on Tuesday with my sister, and yesterday we went for a drive to take photos. We kind of sort of blew her tire on the back-roads (Whoops!) and her friend had to come rescue us. Neither one of us can change a tire (I don't drive, and she hasn't had her license for very long).
I don't have many photos for you guys, since I didn't take very many and only a few turned out well, but I got new boots, leggings, and a gorgeous purse!

These boots were the last in my size (and only ten dollars!) and the snake-print leggings were on sale (three dollars). 

 
This is my new bag! I am so in love with it, and it was only fourty dollars, which was nice. Usually I drool over massive, super expensive ones. It's a lot smaller than the ones I usually carry, so I had to downsize all the crap in my bag (Speaking of which, I was thinking about doing a "what's in my purse" post, thoughts?).

This is the only picture I have of my outfit, and it's not the greatest. But I wore my new stuff with a black lace dress from Forever 21 and my Harley Davidson sweatshirt.

Random late-night photos;

So last night I took a bunch of silly photos with my sister, and sadly there are only three that I thought were decent. =P The camera doesn't love me very much, but that's okay. I really should learn how to pose. Instead I just make silly face and twist my body awkwardly. No wonder I look like a little munchkin when the shutter goes off.
My sister's dress, and a pair of my favorite heels. You can't really see it, but they're leopard print. <3
Not the most flatter dress style on me, it makes me look even shorter! Also, it cuts my boobs off funny. It's still pretty cute though. =)
 My sister's volleyball shirt/floral mini skirt, and my (insanely tall) high-heels. I quite like this outfit.

I just fell in love;

I was flipping through March Vogue (I don't religiously keep up with fashion magazines like most fashion lovers, more on that later) and I stopped dead upon seeing this GORGEOUS Balmain lambskin jacket.
Peta would hate me, but I would absolutely wear this. I'm a vegetarian... I'm a horrible human being.
I suppose I could convince myself that just because I'm not going to eat the animal, doesn't mean that other people won't. 
In any case, I doubt this will ever find it's way into my closet, so I don't need to feel guilty just yet!

Continuing the journey through my clothes;

Alright, yesterday I showed you guys a few things from my closet. Since I still have lots of pictures that I didn't use, I'm just going to continue with that! =)

These are my current favorite jeans. I'm such a fan of Guess clothing, and I find that their jeans really fit me well. They look a bit silly in the pictures because I don't have shoes on. Because I'm so short, and the jeans are long, I always wear them tucked into boots or with high heels.



Guess vest, and an adorable mini dress that I bought in a cute little shop downtown Victoria! The picture isn't the greatest, but it looks really good in person. 

Here's a closer look at all the precious little details on the vest. <3



 As I previously mentioned, I love stockings! So here's a favorite pair of mine. I love the detail of the lace. The only problem with this pair is that they were fairly cheap, so the dye rubs off onto my legs when I wear them.

This top is in heavy rotation in my closet!  I bought it at my favorite secondhand store in my hometown. It's super soft and I love the message!


 This is the most worn item in my closet; my Harley-Davidson jumper! I wear this pretty much every day, to and from work, after work. It's super cozy and looks nice with everything, in my opinion.

This is a floral off the shoulder top that I bought a while back. I love long sleeves, and shirts that you can pull off of one shoulder. On this one, it looks like the flowers are painted on, which I really like.
 Last off is a Godsmack shirt that I've owned for ages, but never really wear. The problem is that the shirt is a little short.
Last night I was thinking that I would cut lengthwise up the bottom and add little beads to make it a crop top with fringe! I think it would be super cute over a bathing suit at the beach or with denim shorts!
That's all for today loves. Anything you'd like to see next post? Leave me a comment!

In case anyone cares, this is me;

I'm a ragamuffin. <3

A peek inside my closet;

Hello lovelies! <3 (Well, technically it's just the stunning Miss Shelby, at the moment! <3)
I did a quick photo shoot this morning, with a few pictures of little old me, and lots of my favorite clothing items!
Without further delay, here they are.

What I'm currently wearing; jeans, tank top, and my friends' band shirt! <3 [Check out Headtrip on facebook!]This is pretty much a typical running errands/going shopping outfit. Not exactly creative, but it's comfortable. I would probably add a scarf to this too.

Perhaps one of these.

The top one is an awesome orange houndstooth square scarf that I bought at the thrift store here, for about four dollars. The bottom one I've had for ages, and I honestly don't remember where it was from!

This is a ring that I bought for my ex (while we were still together) when I was in Mexico! I borrowed it from him and haven't gotten around to returning it! [I swear, goose, I'll return it the second I'm in Vancouver next. <3] That scar on my thumb is from when I was about ten or eleven; I slammed my finger in the door frame when my sister and I were playing house in the camper. Random fact!


The next photos are a couple of new editions to my closet! First off, let's talk about these kick ass wide leg jeans.

These are a pair of my sisters, which she gave/lent (not entirely sure which) to me. I was so stoked because as a result of watching too many old episodes of Charlie's Angels, I've been coveting a pair of seventies wide leg trousers!

Here they are with a 80's oversized men's sweater! Another thrift shop find. I bought this for my sister when I was on the prowl for a Weasley jumper (a la the Harry Potter series). She recently gave it back to me.

Time to show off some shoes! The first pair are Blowfish gladiator sandals! I am in love with these. I didn't have a lot of money to my name when I bought these, but the second I laid eyes on them, there was no turning back. The belong in my wardrobe.


The same time I bought those, I also snagged a pair of blue Steve Madden ones! Didn't I just finish saying I didn't have lots of money? Yep. Did I still buy them? Yep.
I once took a hike through the woods in these. I totally rocked it. I had scratched up feet by the end of it, but I didn't mind. I looked damn good in my sundress and sandals!


This is another newer addition to my closet, one which I've only worn a few times. This is an EDC by Esprit sweater shirt! The second I saw this pattern, I knew that if I didn't get it, I would regret it always!



 Here it is, worn with my beloved Guess jeans!

I think that's all for today! I'll save the other pictures for tomorrow. =)
Questions? Comments? Suggestions? <3 Feel free to leave them!

Just finished a photo shoot! I took quite a few pictures, but I still don't think it's enough for you to get a real feel of my closet. I'm moving in a few months, so maybe once I set up my closet there and get all organized (chances are I'll do my closet before anything else in the house!) I'll do a video or something, going through all my stuff. =)
