Over the weekend,I watched an older independent film that didn’t get much attention when it was released. Too bad, because it was pretty good. It was Harry Potter, ever heard of it? In all seriousness, until Sunday I’d never seen a single Harry Potter movie. When they were first released they didn’t appeal to me and only when the last two were released (and looked quite dark and mature) that I was interested. I figured it’s best to start at the beginning, and filled up my Netflix queue. Well, damned if that first one wasn’t completely charming and funny and totally entertaining. I guess I’m not quite as morose as I thought. Can’t wait to get through the rest of the series.
On a slightly related note, Disney is re-releasing Beauty and the Beast in theaters. Who cried a little when she saw commercials for it and heard the songs? Um, not this girl. Nope, not at all.
Grey. Again. It really is my favorite of all the neutrals. Now, let’s discuss maxi skirts. It may be unhygienic and a safety hazard, but I want my maxi skirt to cover my feet completely. I want my hem to graze the floor. And when I see a maxi skirt that stops at the ankle or (dear god) right above the ankle, I get faint. Maxi means maximum, ladies. Go for the length and the drama. Are you in the same camp as me, or do you prefer to not sweep the floor with your clothing?

Or rather, fancy tights. My unofficial theme for the week has been funky tights. Dunno why, but I like it. I’ve amassed quite the collection of tights since I started blogging. Before this, I think I had black tights, black tights, and maybe a pair of navy tights. However I vaguely remember one particularly awesome outfit from high school. It was a blue sweater, denim skirt, bright pink tights, and black fishnets over the tights. I was so cool.
Yesterday’s oufit:
Laurie B. sweater (from Swirl)
J. Crew button-down shirt
H&M pleather skirt
Forgot the brand of tights, sorry!
Steve Madden combat boots
Today’s outfit:
Laurie B. draped cardigan (again, from Swirl)
American apparel tee
H&M skirt
Express tights
Rocket Dog boots
J.Crew and Forever21 necklaces
And… you may have noticed that my sidebar looks a little different. Well, I’m proud to welcome Shopbop as my first advertising partner. I have no plans to overrun the site with ads and paid links, and actually turned down a few previous offers. But it’s a pleasure to associate myself with a company that I love shopping with because of their fast shipping, great customer service, and fun lookbooks!

After Arcade Fire won the Grammy this year, someone created a tumblr with all the tweets from people who had never heard of them who were outraged that Justin Bieber hadn’t won. My favorite comments were the ones asking “Who’s The Suburbs and why did some stupid album called Arcade Fire win?” I only bring this up because I recently created an Arcade Fire station on Pandora and I’ve been enjoying the mix quite a bit.
So… yellow tights. I got a ton of crazy looks yesterday when I wore this outfit. People in Boston act like they’ve never seen a grown woman dress like a British schoolgirl before.

Ignore the stupid look on my face. No really! I think a new resolution for the year is to spend more than five minutes trying to capture a decent photo. Like many others, this is my first day back to work in a while. At least the day is going quickly. And I’m enjoying my navy and mustard yellow color combo.

Did a little weekend shopping. nothing fancy (except my super awesome NARS foundation). Did a little weekend drinking. Celebrated my best friend getting engaged and getting a beautiful ring from her fiance. Did a little cat-cuddling, but really that happens every weekend. Made my favorite soup, a variety on avgolemono, and ate so much I got a stomach ache. Likely to make a second pot of it tonight because it’s one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Pulled out my pieces for the swap on Thursday; can’t wait to see everyone and hopefully come home with some winning pieces!
Got a little dressed up for shopping on Saturday. It was warm and sunny, and made me forget about the snowy days lurking. The boots are from Forever21; after seeing them on Where Did U Get That, I had to have them. Yeah, they’re cheap and they kind of hurt. But look! So cute!
