BROCK-BROWN-HALL HOUSE

THE OUTFIT CONSISTS OF:

 ZARA:   Top and Shorts
DSW:   Lauren Lorraine
FOREVER 21:  Handbag

Hi Fashion Loves,
Summer's coming to an end so I am trying to post the last few looks before shorts are out.  However it is still a hot time here in the South so I believe a few more short pictures are due.  Today's outfit is from my trip to Atlanta to one of my favorite stores Zara.  Zara was having a big sale so I added some more items to my clothing collection.  I found these adorable pale blue hounds tooth shorts and paired it with an accordion top.  These are an off white color which fit well with my Forever 21 quilted handbag. 

 The shoes I chose are my new babies from DSW which is so similar to the Dolce and Gabbana Lace Booties that are in their collection for the summer.  I am in complete love with these booties they are by a name Lauren Lorraine and are so comfortable.  I get dirty if you look at me wrong so with them being white I am going to find some stain resistance to put on them.
The Adventure today is the Brock-Brown-Hall House which is on 710 McDuffie St Anderson SC and is on the National Register.  According to SCiway  the Victorian Home was built in 1893 by banker and influential textile leader James Albert Brock and his wife Eleanor Reed Brock.   The Eastlake Architectural Design was built on Brock's father-in-law, Judge Jacob Pickney Reed, former rose garden.  The home was later owned by the Brock's daughter and then purchased by Mr. and Mrs. White Brown.  The Brown's owned the local hardware store called White Jones. 


This magnificent beauty was being restored but as you can tell by this photo it has fallen to disarray again.  I am not sure what caused the restoration to stall but it is a sad sight. 

I am currently drawing this home but I don't know if I can save it.    The Drawing is to the right when it is finished I will post the final product.  
It makes my heart breaks every time one of these beauties start to fall.  My finances can't save them maybe one day I can.
Love,
Dana

Off track......... This day I was sweating so bad I thought this was going to be a Tammy Faye Baker Fashion Blog, half of my Waterproof Eyeliner was of

I was proud to put on my New Pink Metallic Jacket from Forever 21 for this  Scary Adventure .  I thought Ghosts had to Respect the Metallic Jacket.  I would call it my Ghost Hunter Jacket and it worked well sort of I think it might have frightened them. I like the look of pink and burgandy so I wore my burgandy blouse from Jcpenney and I think it flows well together. I have been waiting to wear this cute Distressed Jean Skirt I purchased at Cato .  I love the tears

The outfit I chose today needed to be cute but the heat is still sweltering in the South so it had to be cool and the Worthington Top was the perfect choice.  The material is light weight and is trimmed with a Black Sheer Boarder .  I was feeling a little rebellious today
