Earlier this week, I gave up on dressing for the weather. Like Sam Jackson would say, or yell, “It’s too hot for this shit!” So I wore my new shirt from Zara, and long pants, and sweated my proverbial balls off.
Short post today; I’m actually in Philly visiting my sister and nephew. I might be biased but my nephew is the smartest, cutest child to ever exist. Enjoy the weekend, folks!

My boss was on vacation last week, which translated to wearing my favorite, most unprofessional jeans to work. You ready for something scandalous? I’m not wearing a tank top under my shirt. Just a nude bra. Risque indeed, right? No? Well, I felt very adventurous.

So how do you know you talk about your cats too much? Well, if you go to a blogger conference (more on that in another post), see a blogger you haven’t seen in months and the first thing she says to you is “You got a new cat!” Yeah, that’s a pretty good sign.
I made sure to get some photos of my accessories since they are the only bits of color in my grey, grey outfit. Love my earrings- they came to me all the from India. And my blazer? Like $25 at H&M. Perfect if you’re been experiencing sticker shock at the price of blazers elsewhere.

Listening to… “Dreams” by The Cranberries
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.
Yawn. I’m usually in bed by 10:30 (don’t laugh) but when a girlfriend I haven’t seen in two years comes to town, well, I stay up. And I spend the next day yawning and mainlining starbucks. Yum!
On another note, Sunday was Chloe Cat’s 1 yr. birthday! She enjoyed some fish and new toys and bug killing. All in all, a great day for her.
When I first brought her home:
And now:
I miss her little shaved belly- so cute! Now onto the clothes!

shirt- forgot, sorry!

Listening to… “Pledge of Allegiance” by Louis XIV
I am tingly with anticipation over here. Yes, tingly. In just a few months I will no longer be using my 6 year old ibook. Just. a. little. more. saving. And a nice refund from Uncle Sam!
This outfit is from last week. I have never worn so much yellow in my life. But now I like it.

Listening to… “Easy” by Morningwood
I was reminded that today is the anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. It feels appropriate to use his lyrics today then.
I had an amazing weekend with my sister. She came to visit from Philly and we had a blast walking around the city, shopping away, and laughing at Chloe kitten. Good times, man, good times.
I have a backlog of outfits that I never posted last week, so without further ado:
cords- gap
oxfords- nine west
jacket- wet seal
blazer- forever21
shirt- j.crew
jeans- gap
flats- urban outfitters
sweatshirt- american apparel
jeans- gap
shoes- seychelles
headband- urban outfitters
Life and work have once again managed to collide to keep me from blogging for longer than I would like. On the plus side, I’ve actually been out and about and having fun. There might be a cute boy involved. There is definitely lobster mac and cheese involved.
I’ve also been digging up old shoes from under my bed and celebrating the warmer weather. Is anyone else a little scared/shocked when you see all of your shoes in one place?

Listening to… “LES Artistes” by Santogold
I like today’s (well, yesterday’s) outfit better than the last one I posted. What’s been on your mind? I’ve been:

Listening to… everything ever released by Kings of Leon
