The Tulsa Shoot: Emilla Bean

Shot #9: Emily is single-handedly the funniest person I have ever met. Whenever I need a lift or some good quality advice, she is the person I go to. Not only is she a complete goofball sweetheart, she is always dressed to impress. Emily collects these little vintage hats and I was so glad I caught her on a night when she was sporting one. It looked so cute on her and went perfectly with her outfit. I adored the gold detailing against the black, but you all know how I love my gold.. Her dress is actually a thrifted romper paired with little black lace up oxfords.

Sometimes there are nights when you just have to dress up. I try to make sure every night is one of these nights. I found these shorts (originally high waisted wranglers) at a thrift store and cut/distressed them myself. Pretty soon it'll be too cold to wear them so I had to bust them out for one last hurrah. I paired the shorts with some kick-ass booties and teal socks for a pop of color. Topped it off with a black tee and lots of gold jewelry, added a black leather belt and ta da! A typical Sarah outfit. This look pretty much sums up my day-to-day wardrobe. Have a great weekend lovelies! Keep an eye out for a new Tulsa Shoot post tonight.

Pop Gold

Hello! It's me. Just a quick outfit post from the other night. I took these outside my house and I never realized how much I like the rock walls. It's getting so cold in Tulsa, I'm starting to layer up on my tights. My legs will be frozen all winter and I'm not looking forward to it. On a brighter note, I just got an internship with Cheap Thrills Vintage here in Tulsa and I will be running their ebay store and blog! I couldn't be more excited and I will be sure to keep you all up to date on what I'm doing with Cheap Thrills. Hope everyone has a great day! And be sure to check out the newest Tulsa Shoot photos.

The Tulsa Shoot: Jack the Lad

Shot #8: Jack Donovan always looks good. His style is effortless in quirky tee shirts, fitted jeans, and a great button-up or jacket. He brings casual to a new level that looks put together and well thought out. If more males dressed like Jack the world would be a better place. Girls, if your man needs a makeover, an outfit like this would be a great place to start. Then you can eventually get them into the Michael Kors Mad Men collection... (; Not only is Jack super fashionable he's a photographer too! He and I will be doing some fun fashion shoots together very soon.

The Tulsa Shoot: Super Fox

Shot #7: I really dig Kylie's eagle necklace, I've always favored gold and distressed metal to bright silvers. These red shorts are adorable and they add a great pop of color to her outfit. I am in love with her cream sweater, it looks beautiful against her skin tone. This girl has a great eye, I'm going to have her decorate my first apartment for me. Check out her tumblr: A Pair of Bedroom Eyes and her interior design blog: Cute Interiors.

The Tulsa Shoot: Red Hair & Roses

Shot #6: I die for Madeline's girlie floral prints mixed with ripped black tights and black leather boots. Her ruffled blouse is lovely and her adorable glasses top off this look perfectly. Madeline plays the harp at the University of Tulsa, what a pretty instrument for a pretty girl!

The Tulsa Shoot: Bold as Love

Shot #5: Zach Short is a hired musician and one of the best guitarists in town. I never see him without a guitar in his hands. His style is reminiscent of the 70's and his bohemian necklaces make this outfit for me. I also like his choice of corduroy pants as opposed to blue jeans. It gives the look another element of interest. Zach is one of the nicest people around and will be hitting the road on a nation-wide tour this March.

The Tulsa Shoot: Bolt from the Blue

Shot #4: This girl oozes coolness. I love her combats boots and the cobalt jacket is such a refreshing color for leather. Her style is very street chic and she wears mostly solids. Not only is she a writer, but she also plays piano, sings, and has a really awesome rat tail braid on the back of her head that I wish I had gotten a shot of. Next time..

The Tulsa Shoot: Fezzie Stardust

Shot #3: Fayez Mansour is one of the most interesting people I have ever met. His clothes always leave me in awe. He was definitely born in the wrong era. I never see him without a sweet pair of moccasins and 60's button up. The top he's sporting here is actually one of mine that I gave him as a gift. He works it better than I do!

The Tulsa Shoot: Mixed Media

Shot #2: Patrick Farrington. Walking around Brookside last night he immediately caught my eye. I usually shy away from wearing multiple prints together but I dug the clash of his sweater and jacket. To me, his style is cohesive with his music. Both use contrasting elements that work together. When I asked about his tunes he replied, "It is what it is. I favor mixed media, live instruments, electronics, experimentalism.. a vivid projection of my expanding imagination." Check out his project Kaito Gigantia on Soundcloud.

The Tulsa Shoot: Grand Launch & The Queen of Thrift

( The Tulsa Shoot is a new project I'm working on to expand Bad Penny and to push myself in contributing to my portfolio. The photos featured in these posts will be of real people resonating with style right here on the streets of my city, Tulsa. My hope is to put Tulsans on the map of street style fashion. I haven't worked out all of the kinks yet, but I am so excited to share some of the shots I took last night with you that I simply couldn't wait. I hope you lovely readers can find inspiration from the people that inspire me daily. Welcome to a taste of Tulsa. )

Shot #1: What a better way to kick off this new feature than with Tulsa's coolest, Caleigh Trotter. I call her the Queen of Thrift. This chick has a gift when it comes to shopping. She always seems to find the most interesting pieces. When sifting through thrift store jungles, she sees potential in things that most people would pass up. The result? No one will ever be caught wearing the same outfit as Caleigh. And could her hair be any cooler? No, I didn't think so.
