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.

I want to be forgotten, and I don’t want to be reminded

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!

Rocking some jeans I got from last Thursday’s swapaholics clothing swap. Even though it was total (controlled) chaos, I left with some pretty cool pieces. Please forgive my brevity. Lots on my mind. Including Calliope’s ever-expanding waistline!

This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I’m cleaning up and I’m moving on, going straight and choosing life. I’m looking forward to it already. I’m gonna be just like you.

I went to the gym this morning and was very excited to see my favorite movie, Trainspotting, on the tv. It was like visiting with old friends. Friends who are heroin addicts, have terrible hygiene, and are generally fucking insane.

Boston Fashion Week is going right now, continuing through till Friday or Saturday. I’ll be covering some of the shows for New Brahmin, so make sure to check the site! I’m also heading to the Swapaholics swap and blogger meet-up on Thursday. I already have set aside a bag of goodies. I cannot wait!

In the meantime, here’s an outfit I wore to work last week. I really love the socks and sandals together, although I gotta a hell of a lot of odd looks. The skirt is a maxi skirt from H&M that I wear often. I pinned the front up and the back fell naturally into a balloon hem.
