I had a long weekend, starting on Thursday night with an emergency trip to the vet for Chloe cat. Long story short, she got in a fight with some bigger animal and her wounds became infected and turned into abscesses. The wounds are on her lower back so her little butt is shaved and she’s on antibiotics. She’s already looking better, but I felt horrible about not checking her earlier for cuts other than the small one I saw on her foot initially. I always assumed if she was in a fight, she’d look like it, but no. So warning to all the pet owners/lovers out there: if your pet has a little scratch from being outside, give yourself the peace of mind of checking them all over for cuts. Hopefully you can avoid the guilt and vet bills I’m dealing with!
On to more fashionable things. I wore this about two weeks ago for my friend’s bridal shower. Her wedding is coming up in just two short weeks and I’m looking forward to wearing a pretty bridesmaid dress, drinking with some Irish folks, and bowling after the wedding! I got this dress on clearance at Madewell and was saving it for a hot date. Sadly, none of those have come my way, but the ladies at the shower appreciated it!

Rain, rain, go away. Seriously. I’m a terrible swimmer and I’m getting worried.
This dress is another one of my amazing Filene’s Basement finds (like the Lanvin skirt). It’s Acne and came to a whopping $9.99. It didn’t have a price tag but I had to have it, so I asked the staff to find price and crossed my fingers. They priced it at $40 and it was an additional 75% off. When they asked me if I still wanted it, I think I squealed in excitement. It’s pretty shapeless on its own, but I like it belted, both high on my waist and lower down.

I mean, Hook was pretty cool. But the cartoon just never really did it for me. How could it stand against my childhood favorites like The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin? However, I’ve got a real thang for peter pan collars right now. They’re a little innocent, reminiscent of British school children. And secretly, I wish I was British.
I even say “bloody hell” on occasion.

I found this dress at Rescue Consignment and fell in love. I’ve never actually worn it as a dress, though. I always tuck it into pants. Eventually I’ll get off my ass and bring it to the tailor and have the bottom hacked off.
I’m surprised at how relaxed I look in this picture, since I risked life and limb to pose in that particular spot. Don’t believe me? LOOK.
No, I’m not overreacting. I’m quite sure he could have killed me in one swift motion.
And I decided to move my arm party down to my feet. Warning: close-up of feet up ahead!
It’s about two…thousand coats of Deborah Lippmann’s Happy Birthday nail polish.

I made the mistake of turning on MTV yesterday morning. They were showing music videos but upon seeing the crap they were playing, I immediately morphed into a curmudgeonly old woman muttering that the music of my generation was the best ever. Then Radiohead’s Paranoid Android came on and I was placated.
When I said in my last post that I’m wearing my H&M belt a lot recently, I wasn’t kidding. It goes with everything!

I tried to salvage this photo, which came out terribly. As if the shoes aren’t bright enough, the dress is that yellow-green neon shade that is notoriously hard to photograph. I ordered the dress months and months ago and was pissed when I received it and realized it’s completely sheer. It took another couple of months to find something to layer underneath. And still I went all summer without wearing it. Since it was the last weekend of August, I figured I might as well break it out.
I wore it to Bond lounge in the Langham Hotel in Post Office Square. Bond, by the way, is gorgeous, the music is great, and the drinks are stiff. If you’re in Boston, you should visit. I got quite a few compliments on my outfit, albeit from some very drunk folks. I’m debating on wearing this dress during the day. Yay? Nay?
