I always like Sunday Night services here in Indy. My outfit was 

Suit-Bill Blass New York 

Python heels-Target

Real snakeskin clutch-Vintage, my mom's

Ruffle shirt-Charlotte Russe

I will be back to give you more, loves. Have a fabulous  Monday afternoon!

Im BACK!!!

Hi guys! So, Im finally back from a one? two? year blogging hiatus. I absolutely HATED being gone for so long! Writing this blog was such a lovely and enjoyable experience and I have definitely missed it. I actually dropped my laptop down a ladder and annihilated it. :) (dont ask) So for a long time I was unable to blog and to be honest, life was happening so much. However,  the entire time I have been absent, I have still kept up with fashion and I am too enchanted with this thing to let it go. So I am back and I am ready to go.

I cant wait to start blogging again and documenting what really inspires me so that my friends can get a break from my constant fashion ramblings and obsessing. I'm wanting to get in to videos and a lot of more ootd's, as well as some product reviews and interiors.  However, Im not sure if I want to keep this blog or just make a fresh blog. I've even thought about doing only vlogging. Who knows? So do let me know in the comments what you guys think.

In  the meantime, here are some things going on with me to get reaquainted with you and to get to know any new comers that would somehow stumble upon this humble musing.

I am Madison, otherwise known as, Madi.
I am 23.
My style is classic, glamourous, vintage, hippie. Yes...all those things. I am a bit of a melting pot, really.
I am from Memphis, Tn but I go to school in Indianapolis, In at Indiana Bible College.
I am a junior and a major in Biblical Studies with a minor in Worship Studies (music)
I am a shopaholic and I do admit that with no desire to stop. :)

Here are a few photos of myself from a few weeks ago when I went to one of my favorite antique markets in Indy. It was still pretty hot, and there was no air in this place. I almost fainted.
My boyfriend is in the background. He picked out this lovely industrial rolling table. He has quite good taste, I have to admit. I was very shocked when I found out he likes antiques. His family were missionaries to Scotland about ten years ago. They had tea time every Sunday afternoon after service. ( I know...I was  so jealous.) So any time spent in Europe I imagine would leave one with even a grain of good taste.

He just left for the army national guard last Monday. I miss him. :, ( But I got a letter from him already so I was happy. And then we went to a flower shop where he posed and modeled the flowers. Then, we went to Shapiro's where the pies and cakes are insanely good. I can never resist a picture of desserts!

If anyone is interested, here are the details of my outfit,
Hat-gift fromy dad
Cardi-LC Laueen Conrad
Dress-Half of Half
Shoes-Charlotte Russe
Bag-Vintage

So anywhoo, I hope you enjoythe pictures. There's plenty of fashion coming this way. Do comment and let me know what you guys think. Ill be awaiting. You have been sorely missed. Cant wait to hear from you.

P.S. Its fall!! :) Enjoy your October!

Xx.

Life is Better in Motion

Hello Blog.
It's been away too long...
And I can honestly say that I have been devastated to have been away for so long.
What can I say? My life as a college student is out of control.
But I won't lie. Part of the reason is because Pinterest is addicting.
*sigh* I'm a little ashamed of said fact. It's like I've cheated on my blog with some cheap floosy source of inspiration!!
I digress. The real reason I'm posting is not to catch you up on my life.  :)
 But having coming across this Chanel ad...I was all too inspired.
Chanel is once again taking a cue from the sports world.
(Remember the surf board?)
These pictures took my breath away.  It's everything I'm feelin' right now. via SportsStylist, Cindy Whitehead-who's blog, I must say, is so sicknasty. It makes me happy.Anyway.Back on topic.

P o e t r y , m y d e a r s.

This is so sick.

All I want to do right now is be o u t s i d e

Mainly at the beach.

But Ill take anywhere as long as its outside.

& that's whats up with me right now.

Happy Friday.

XO.

Why Can't We Seem to Hold it Togetherrrrrr?

It's been a while since I've blogged.

So much has passed.

It would PROBABLY take nearly an eternity to expound upon the subject of my absence.

Maybe I'll catch up whoever has decided out of the goodness of their hearts to still check on this blog  starting tomorrow.

Maybe I'm also a bad procrastinator.

I havent decided.

Anyway.

Just some thoughts that I need to get out: (I've seemed to have a lot of those lately)

Brace yourselves, folks.

Since when do we seem to just get tired of standing up and fighting for the right thing?

At what point does seeing things as how they should be become adolescent?

Since when do we see things as how they are and just decide to not care?

The mature thing shouldn't be to forget about it all and just go with the flow.

The grown-up thing that we should be teaching our kids is to fight for what you believe in and stand up for morals and values and treating people right.

Thats what should be happening but its like less and less people care and they want to justify it with their selfishness and laziness.

Get up out of your selfish self and stand up for the right thing.

Stop being a contradiction and hurting people.

You have more of an influence than you think.

You have the power to make a great difference in your world and not caring is a cop out.

You still have to do the right thing even when its not convenient for you and even when you dont feel like it.

Why?

Because thats what we all need. Its what this world needs.

And it doesnt mean you're the same as some spirited young person who people view as being blinded by their passion or zeal for beliefs and convictions.

IT MEANS YOU HAVE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY.

But why is it that there are even movies about young people who try to fight for good things and stand up for right things and the leaders who SHOULD BE behind them are some of their adversaries?

Is it because as a young person one is  between choosing the right thing that one was taught about as a child and choosing to just not care because as an adult you compromise to get what you want?

Im not trying to be judgy.

Im saying we have to decide we will be greater than our predecessors and its going to take work.

What happened to true integrity?

Doing the right thing when noone's really looking-when youre not under a spotlight.

Get yourself together before you hurt someone watching you.

Well thats my random two am rant.

Read it.

Ponder it.

Take it to heart.

Idk.

Do what you will.

Dont be afraid to comment.

I like feedback.

Ill keep fashion blogging, dont worry my loves.

 things are just supa craaaazzzy right now.

;)

and Im working on it.

This was therapeutic though. I might do it again.

Until next time loves

Sweet Dreams

What I really hate is that I start so many posts and don't get to finish them.
Tragic, really. It almost breaks my heart. <\ \3
Hopefully, I can become a much better blogger. :] I miss this :]
Meanwhile! I went to The NutCracker Ballet a few weekends ago :] It was everything I could have hoped it would be.
Pics to come later. Meanwhile, I'm just as obsessed with it as I've always been. Who wants to throw a Nutcracker party with me?

Sneak Peak.

Happy Thursday :]
