It’s really not a new obsession. Hot pink has always been one of my favorite colors. So any new acquisition in this shade makes me giddy.
Case in point: dolce vita’s pela wedges.
They come in damn near every neutral under the sun-black, brown, grey, silver. What color did I have to have? PINK!
I love them so much, I wore them two days in a row. And I might be wearing them again today. That’s the same hairdo both days, by the way. Works great for those days when you wake up late, stare at your blow-dryer and hair products and just think “fuck it.”
And a bonus Calliope picture because… well, look at her!

It’s so hard to find the simplest things. In this case, the simplest thing is a knee-length, fitted black tank dress. I probably could have found the Calvin Klein or Narciso Rodriguez version fairly quickly, but then I’d have to doing unsavory things to afford said dress. And then, it shows up at H&M, stuffed in a rack of ugly black jumpsuits. It’s not perfect-it’s 100% cotton and stretches out way too easily. But for $30? I’ll take it!

These photos are from Sunday. Bet you couldn’t figure that out! I spent most of Saturday moping and when I woke up to the sun shining on Sunday, I was filled with energy. I hit SoWa market again, and even though I had less luck finding goodies I did score an italian ice, so the whole endeavor was a success. Afterwards, I bought a cute small umbrella from the Marc Jacobs store. Considering all the rain we’ve seen and my aptitude for getting caught in said rain without any sort of protection… this was the second best purchase of the weekend. The first? A handheld vacuum. Seriously, I live with two cats and a white rug. I could buy a private jet made of gold tomorrow and I’d still consider the handvac to be my best purchase of the year.
On to the fashion. Part of my moping on Saturday stemmed for trying on a bajillion pairs of shorts and deeming them all tiny pieces of masochistic hell. So on Sunday I pulled out my no-fail shorts- loose, with a longer inseam and flared leg and I felt good again.
The goods from the SoWa market?
A brooch. Or pin, if you’re under 50.

Well, I have had a hell of a day. It’s like I spent the evening wrangling cats. Oh wait… I did. Yesterday, I visited the shelter where I got Chloe kitten and fell in love with another cat. So now I have two cats who really don’t like each other. And now I am outnumbered by cats.
Meet Calliope!
She’s a total cuddlebug. She contorts herself in the most awkward ways just to get her head rubbed.
Now on to the clothes! I won this shirt on ebay and find it perfect to throw on for work when I’ve worn jeans and funky tops too many days in a row and my boss is giving me the evil eye. The shoes are new- part of my never-ending parade of recent purchases. I wonder if the cat counts as a recent purchase? hmmm….
