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….

Like so many others, I am desperate for warm weather and the opportunity to start wearing my summer clothes again. So I’m stuck layering for now.
Part one: pretty shirt. feels like spring. except for the goosebumps on my arms.
Part two: despite my animal print, I am truly a delicate flower.
part three: I’ve finally accepted the fact that it’s not yet spring.
part four: my favorite cold weather accessory for keeping my neck warm.

In all my excitement over New York Fashion Week, I haven’t bothered to post any outfits. And I’ve had some cute outfits!
Top- Forever21
Tank top- Forever21
Jeans- Martin & Osa
Apparently this lace top (and the dress version) have become very popular and sold out. I’m so glad I got mine early. It’s absolutely lovely on.
dress- Diane von Furstenberg
cardigan- Rodarte for Target
boots- Steve Madden
Love, love, love the combo of yellow and navy. Also, I think I finally perfected my version of “naturally” wavy hair.
dress- Zara
tights- Plush fleece lined tights
shoes- Nine West
So here’s an outfit I didn’t get to actually wear out. Too bad, ’cause it’s cute, right?

This is a pretty boring outfit, but at least my feet are sparkly! These are courtesy of Nine West and they are definite attention-getters. I can’t wait till it’s warmer and I can wear these with cute skirts and rolled-up jeans.

vest- Zara, jeans- Martin & Osa, boots- Jeffrey Campbell
Actually, my vest is from a very rare and endangered animal called “polyester.” I’ve been aching for a fur vest for a while but never found one that was a decent price and looked good on me. And then Zara had a big sale 
I was so excited to wear the vest that I left the house without even taking the tag off. whoops!
At the end of the night, no matter how much I intend to put everything away where it belongs, my jewelry always ends up in a pile in my living room.

Today (the 29th) is my 26th birthday. Yay me! I love birthdays- I see them as a chance to be completely self-centered and do exactly what you want to do.
Well, that wasn’t exactly what I did. My day consisted of running errands, including bringing Chloe Kitten to the vet. No one left the exam room bloody, so I consider the visit a success. I also had a great dinner with my family, which was exactly what I wanted to do.
I also wanted to dress up and wear something nice, despite the weather being in the negatives and the wind being so cold and brisk that it was tough to breathe. So I compromised and wore something sparkly with jeans, not a skirt, and avoided frostbite.
top- H&M, jeans- martin & osa, boots- report signature
So you wanna know what I learned in my first quarter-century on earth?
I learned that fortune favors the bold. I learned that everyone is a little lonely. I learned that smart, funny guys are a better catch than tough, muscled guys. I learned that common sense is incredibly rare, but kindness can be found in nearly everyone. I learned that animals can be human’s best friend, and that I will always love horror movies. I learned to love some of the things I hated about myself, and I’m working on the rest. I learned that people leave this earth before their time and it really never stops hurting. And I learned that blogging is a damn fine way to keep myself entertained and meet some pretty awesome chicks.

Hold this thread as I walk away, Lying on the floor, lying on the flooooor…
Yes, it is as comfy as it looks. It’s a definite win for forever21.
Those red feathers on the ground? Chloe kitten was given a feather boa as a gift after Halloween. Suffice to say, she is one happy cat and I am one very unhappy human who doesn’t own a vacuum.

When I first brought these Jeffrey Cambell booties home, I wasn’t sure exactly what I’d wear them with. I just knew they needed a home in my closet. Then I found this amazing Ann Demeulemeester top in my mother’s closet and knew exactly what I wanted to wear it with. My favorite skinny jeans, by Martin & Osa, completed the outfit.
I can’t wait to try this with leggings tucked into the boots and a crapload of punk-style jewelry.
