On Wednesday, Katy and Alison hosted a great holiday party for Boston-based bloggers. And since I never miss an opportunity to dress up, I was in attendance. And I was in good company as there were a LOT of well-dressed ladies in the room.

I’m seeing a lot of silver in the stores these days, but I’m feeling gold for the holidays, so I took to etsy to find a vintage gold skirt for the night. I found the perfect one (from this seller) and after raising the hem about a foot, it became the skirt I had dreamed about! I paired it with a swapped shirt and the most amazing pumps i’ve ever owned, thanks to Best in Shop‘s Becca! Now, let’s just pretend my hair isn’t a greasy mess!

Yawwwn. For someone who didn’t do a lot this weekend, I sure am tired. Maybe it’s been the existential crisis I’ve been experiencing with my hair. I’ve reached that length (and time of year) that drives me crazy. My hair gets tangled up in my scarf and coat and stuck under my bag handle. I’ve been going through pictures of the various hairdo’s I’ve had over the years, which has just left me even more undecided. Shorter? Longer? Wavy? Straight? Bangs? I need a hair fairy to walk up to me, tell me the absolute best look for my hair, and then, umm, do my hair for me. Any thoughts on your end to solve this crisis (other than telling me to quit the dramatics)?
I wore this on Friday to go to Sowa’s open studios. If you’re in Boston, it’s a great way to spend Friday night. Head over to 450 Harrison Ave and you can peruse the many artist studios that will be open to the public, and there’s a huge vintage market too! I spent the evening at Emily Muller’s studio, simultaneously admiring the clothes and cursing my teeny bank account. I wore my DIY silver-sleeved blazer in honor of Holly’s birthday, since she is the most creative person I know.

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!

Even with the extra hour thanks to Daylight Saving Time, the weekend was still too short. I finally wrapped up a DIY I started weeks ago and caught up on my blog reading. And then it was Sunday evening and I got excited because even though it meant the weekend was over, my new favorite TV shows were on. Have you seen Once Upon a Time yet? It’s a fun take on classic fairy tales. And Robert Carlyle plays Rumpelstiltksin, which infinitely adds to the awesome. And there’s The Walking Dead. This season has been fantastic so far (although there could be a little more zombie carnage)!
And because this is a fashion blog, not a “what did I watch on tv blog,” here are some outfits from last week and yesterday.

I am at a lack of words today. I could grumble about the weather, or talk about the cats. But mostly I just really like my outfit today so I’m going to show it to you, mmmkay?
I can’t decide if that’s my seductive face or my angry face. Or maybe my “fuck, I wish I was still in bed face.” Yeah, that one sounds about right.
shirt- J.Crew (swapped)
jeans- Forever21
boots- Aldo (DIY glittered)
