Friday Night Cruisin'


The hubbie and I recently got a new car - a two seater convertible - that we have been itching to take out for a drive with the top down.  So, we decided to celebrate the weekend and 60 degree weather by taking a little Friday night drive. 

Happy Weekend, dear readers!

Side note: We also saw Alice in Wonderland - more on this later.  So many style inspirations, so little time!

Spring Fever


Shades, Ralph Lauren $25 (on sale!); tee, Victoria Secret $15;
pants, Old Navy $15; bag, Aldo $30; shoes, Steve Madden $90

Today ended up being one of the nicest days we've had in Kansas in months.  The sun was out when I left for work, and when I got home (bonus)!  So, in honor of this beautiful weather we're suddenly having I broke out of the dull black wardrobe that I feel like I've lived in for the last 3 months, and instead opted for spring-inspired pastels.  I even got to wear my shades.  Now, if I could just trade in all the firewood behind me for a ton of sandals - I'd be set!

"These Boots Were Made For Walkin'..."

Scarf, Payless sample; Cardigan, Old Navy $10; Pants,
Ann Taylor Loft $15; Boots, Dolce Vita $110; Trench, Target gift

We all have that one article of clothing in our closet that makes us feel good. You know the one I'm talking about.  Just thinking about wearing it makes you feel a little more confident.  You can and do make it fit with just about everything you wear.  Well, these boots have become that article of clothing for me.  I fell in love with them when I found them on sale on Nordstroms.com.  They have been and still are the one thing that makes the lingering snow and cold weather not so bad.

'Do or Do Not?


Fendi Fall RTW 2010

Last night I was enjoying margaritas with a girlfriend when she turns to me and asks: what's with the crazy, messy, bobby-pins all over the place look?

Hmmm... well, let's see.

Sam McKnight styled the models for the Fendi Fall 2010 RTW with a messy pompadour-inspired look, seen above and here:

The always dramatic John Galliano used a messy side-do in his Spring 2010 RTW show.

Backstage at the Chanel Spring 2010 Couture show.  Hair all over the place in a seemingly Gaga-inspired way.

Derek Lam Spring 2010 RTW

So, her question to me and now my question to you is: is this a 'do or do not?  Is pilling your hair on top of your head and fishing around for tons of bobbypins worth it or is it better left to the professionals?

My Mission


I logged into Blogger two days ago to find that The Flip Side of Oz has achieved a significant milestone: 50 posts.  For some, this may seem like a small thing to celebrate.  But, for a girl who could barely remember her Blogger password a little under a year ago... this is huge!  

50 posts later, I have to admit that this site has evolved and will hopefully continue evolving and changing to become even better.  The Flip Side of Oz has become an outlet in which to share my creativity, my interests, my passions in life, and I dare say that it has even become therapeautic. 

With that being said, I have been doing a lot of soul-searching on ways to improve.  So, for you dear readers, who have stuck by me during these early (and often times rough and sparatic) days, I would like to share with you my goal and mission - to attract more readers in order to meet and engage in dialogue with others who have a similar appreciation for fashion and personal style, and most importantly, create a site that fosters and inspires creativity in myself and others.   

I am proud to report that my first step toward achieving this mission is that I have joined IFB - Independent Fashion Bloggers.  IFB brings fashion bloggers together to share thoughts, ideas, tips, and help support others in their blogging endeavors.  Dear readers, I have greatly enjoyed the last 50 posts, and here's to 50 more that are even better!

Black & Blue


I am proud to report that my first pair of shoes made it into the store today!  These cuties have officially been tagged for sale and I can't wait for some lucky shopper to scoop 'em up!  They are so much fun!  I enjoyed styling them with a pair of blue tights (DKNY) and a black dress (Isaac Mizrahi for Target) today. 

A special thanks to my hubby for being patient with me
and my crazy antics, and for helping me with photos!
