Salon Style


Every time I go to the salon, I feel inspired to wear something fun. Why? Because stylists are always so expressive in the way they dress. There are studded combat boots, half shaved heads and hot pink locks. To make sure I didn't feel too bland, I sported my favorite ripped jeans, leopard print gladiator sandals, army green vest and Kurt Cobain t-shirt. To add a little girlie to the mix, I sported my necklace from A.Haley Boutique over my tee.

Rock Your Favorite Vintage Tee: Look Two

There is nothing like a glam maxi skirt to dress up a vintage tee. I love this royal blue maxi, especially with the gold accents. It feels very...rich. I tried to keep the accessories and shoes a little more edgy with this look to keep it dressier. These gold gladiators are everything. They are comfortable yet look so funky and dressy all at the same time. I need this outfit on my body...asap.

New Fave DIY Moment: By Meg

One of my besties, Megan, told me she was having the hardest time finding a button up with a fun and bedazzled collar. So...she found a way to create one herself. She took a part of vintage-looking earrings and fastened one to each side of her collar. How brilliant? This is the perfect way to mix match one shirt for several unique outfits. Love it, Meg!

Tortoise Touch

While back in my college town of Bloomington, Indiana, my bestie and I ventured into one of our favorite vintage shops. Cactus Flower on Kirkwood Avenue has the perfect mix of truly vintage finds (the entire upstairs portion) and new trendy items. We fell in love with this comb-like accessory. Tortoise shell with a bow? Lordy...too precious. This is the perfect touch to my already large and in charge hair style. $6 and she was all mine. Come to mama..

Vintage - Voila!

I'm ever so in la la love with this vintage ring I purchase for $5 at Judy's Antiques. I love the unique hue of burnt orange meets brown. Plus, who doesn't love stones of this size on their ring finger?

Broach Brilliance

My girlfriend, Jamie, is oh so fabulous today in this Gap shirt and vintage broach combo. Big Heels, Big Hair couldn't pass up the opportunity to feature her fab look! Living in New York City means Jamie gets to flaunt this big city style trend on the streets of The Big Apple. Like Jamie, I've found some of my favorite jewelry pieces at a vintage store or from an older loved one...take a stab at it yourself!

Lovely Layering



In order to wear some of the dresses/tops to work that I love, sometimes layering helps to make that possible. This purple dress, from Gap, is lightweight and perfect for work. However, why not add a little dimension to it by pairing it with a top? This top, from J.Crew, is the ultimate fix. The color and pattern and not over-powering and makes the dress even more office-appropiate. I topped this outfit off with some espadrilles from Aldo and some layered bracelets (vintage, Forever 21, Michael Kors).
