On the green grass

Helloooo! It's been a hop and a scotch since I last did an outfit post! Hm, did that even make sense? Probably not, but you know, that's how I roll. Mmmmmhmmmm. Anyway, yes. I'm hyper and distracted tonight! I'm sure you'll be able to tell by my crazy Tiek faces in these photos! Tiek faces, hehehe! If you've never met me, just know, I'm probably the weirdest, silliest person ever with my very own language, Tieklish. Oh boy!

These are the nights I adore being a fashion blogger. Perfect lighting, amazing temperatures, a pretty backdrop, a twirly dress, granny tapestry wedges, a mediocre hair day, a decent makeup day. All of those add up to a pretty great fashion blogger day, if you ask me! It's the troof. Plus, I'm feeling on top of it! I worked all day, then worked out at the gym afterwards, took outfit shots and here I am! Posting before 11 PM! Woot, woot!

The amazing Asian iCandy sent me over this dress to twirl about in! It's so pretty and unlike anything else I own. I love the sheer overlay, along with a built in slip underneath. I swear so many of my dresses are see-through and it's buggin. This is perfect... and I love the detailing at the top. I can only imagine the fun I'll have in this dress when autumn approaches. Crunchy leaves are my best friend. They smell good too.

Whelp, I just redesigned my Tumblr. I'm a slacker Tumblr user, but I figured I could start posting some stuff on there again. I was thinking of posting more weight loss/fitness stuff over there because I get a lot of comments and Formspring questions on it. Would you guys be interested in that? I'm seriously not the person to turn to for diet and fitness advice (my favorite food is chicken fingers and double fries) but I mean... I did lose 35 pounds. Gained 10 back, but you know... that's still 25 lost. And now I'm working on those pesky 10. (Bite me, 10!)

Outfit details:
Korean Style lace dress c/o Asian iCandy
Fine Furnishings wedge c/o ModCloth

I love your crazy faces Tieka! The lighting is quite perfect too! I would be interested in some tumblr fitness stuff, it's amazing that you lost 35 pounds! I lost 15 pounds last year and that was beyond way too difficult! You are such an inspiration for me. You go to work then you work out and THEN you still have time for blogging, absolutely amazing. I hope I can be like that one day!

These pictures are cracking me up.. they are so silly just like your writing in this post, a perfect match!

Go Tieka! Sounds like you had an awesome & productive day!! And I'll be sure to check out your Tumblr too. I've been trying to hit the gym/eat better lately as well, looking forward to the tips. And this look is SO adorable, pretty dress + floral print wedges = major outfit love. xo veronika

April, Everyday Forgotten said...

Oh I love this dress too! Like you said, it looks perfect for twirling! :) That would be such a good idea and really helpful if you posted stuff like that on tumblr because I've just started on weightwatchers after being inspired by your weight loss story, so for me that would be such a great help! :)

Cosmia said...

I'd love to see your weightloss/fitness Tumblr! I think it's even more interesting because you're not "perfect", you still like to eat fries and you gained a little back.. You totally inspired me and YOU are the reason I have lost 25lbs! (And I still have a little to go too) :)

Kathrin said...

Amazing photos! Love your dress :)

FAB said...

Love that dress! I keep eyeing up asainicandy....they have some exquisite stuff! Aaaaaaaah crunchy leaves!

Kirstin Marie said...

I love your pretty dress and your gorgeous shoes. The lighting is beautiful, and it makes your eyes look incredible.

PenPot said...

Looking gorgeous as always.

Do you exercise or just diet? If I need to be really naughty I just do it and then just spend a lot of time in the gym afterwards. It works well cos I get what I want but it stops the naughtiness a bit when I'm feeling lazy lol!

Hannah said...

You look gorgeous! This lighting is amazing. And I must say, I noticed that your legs look banging before I read any of the post, so you must be doing pretty well on the exercise part!!

Personally, I would love to see some more fitness/weight loss stuff on your tumblr. I am also struggling to lose those last 10 pounds after losing 37 on WW. You are a huge inspiration to me, and it would be majorly helpful to have some cyber support!

Alice, Pretty Confused said...

I love these photos, the lighting is amazing and you look totally fantastic :) xo

Um, how do you workout and then take outfit pics?? I am a sweat-ball after I workout, haha! I would have sweat bangs like crazy!

I love the way you write, so cute and funny :) The lighting in these photos is beautiful, love the dress <3 I would definitely be interested in more fitness posts, I am constantly trying to shed a little weight through diet and exercise (the healthy way) xxx

k.rahn said...

hehe, I'm loving the goofy Tieka photos. They look similar to what happens every single time I'm in front of a camera...I'm such a nerd. Anyway, I so want those shoes, I wish Modcloth still had them :( boo. But you look lovely! And I request more Tieklish in posts please, it'll make me feel better about how many made up words I use as a part of my regular vocabulary.

Ruzu said...
