Part II of the unveiling of my new items. Oh hai new top and new shooz! The top is from H&M and they have a massive section devoted to T by Alexander Wang knock-offs designer-inspired pieces. The top is actually a dress that reaches about mid-thigh in the back (it’s a little too short in the front to wear as a dress) and I swear that earlier in the day I was browsing shopbop and saw the T by A.Wang version and thought “ooooooh. pretty.”

The shoes are a total impulse buy from Aldo. I went to the mall to get out of my oven-esque apartment and, well, they were begging to come home with me. I avoid Aldo normally (their shoes are not comfortable) but the low heel and ankle support makes these walkable. Do they seem vaguely reminiscent of Chloe (the clothing/shoe brand, not the cat) to you as well?

I wear these jeans so often, yet you rarely see them on le blog. They probably aren’t the most flattering but they are so comfortable.

Listening to… “All My Friends” by LCD Soundsystem. But it’s the Franz Ferdinand remix which is even better than the original.

Home from the Holidays

There’s no place like home. I packed up myself, chloe kitten, loads of gifts, etc., etc. and headed to my parents place for a Christmas with a packed house. It was great to see my little nephew and the rest of my family. But wow, am I glad to be home!

I was aching to get back to my friends (and wear my new clothes) and Saturday night was the perfect opportunity.

dress- H&M, leggings- American Apparel, boots- Miz Mooz


Now, if you know me at all, you’re looking at this and thinking” no way she went out in that. It’s the middle of winter and she’s always freezing.” And yes, I was cold. BUT I wore a pair of wool tights under the leggings and it made a serious difference!

I Wanna Be Somebody…

Ahh, Thanksgiving Day. This was one of the best Thansgiving’s I’ve had in recent years. I often have a hard time with Thanksgiving- there are too many obligations and the weather has usually turned from crisp to bone-chilling. It overwhelms me and I hide from the weather, the people, the happiness that sometimes seems out of my reach. But this year, I had a great time at my sister’s parents-in-law.

Clearly I couldn’t leave the gothic-ness behind completely, so I opted for grey and black. And tight clothes on Thanksgiving! Trust me, I knew to take pictures before dinner and spare you my food baby.
