1. Hello! Olá! Ciao! Hola!

Welcome to Strung Up and Laid Back! Here you'll find a hodgepodge of things that tickle my fancy: beauty, fashion, politics (brace yourselves), music, food, people...the list goes on! I've never tried my hand at blogging so please bear with my primal computer skills and clumsy photos. Let's get started!

It's finally autumn so I've crawled into the deepest corner of my closet a pulled out my most favorite boots of all time. They are made by Sanzia and I bought them a year ago off Ebay or Amazon. What is so wonderful about these is if you have monster calves such as I, they have that lovely adjustable strap so you can easily slide your dainty toes in, zip up and roll out!

As many of you do, I like to pair my knee high riding boots with a pair of form fitting jeans. Throw on a white shirt (this one from Old Navy for $4.99!), a chunky gold chain, and you have a casual, chic outfit.

Yesterday I had a little orientation session for an art program and managed to snap a photo of my makeup before skedaddling. If your looking to add some pizazz to an outfit, swipe on some red lipstick. Instant elegance!

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed! Até logo!
