It’s too hot for this shit

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!

Inspiration with One Degree of Separation

I saw this outfit on the Briannelee and loved all the jewelry she piled on. I also loved her inspiration for the outfit- the glamourai, who everyone should visit for inspiration. Her ability to pair patterns and colors and layers is just far out.

So in turn, after Briannelee was inspired by the glamourai, I was inspired by her and threw on a ton of necklaces. They totally made the outfit!

We broke but we rich at heart

I bought this dress at least a month ago, and I saved it for today. Why? It was a big day at work with an important meeting and I wanted to dress for the occasion. So after saving this dress for so long, imagine my disappointment at not receiving any comments on the dress! I mean, really! Lack of validation notwithstanding, I felt lovely in it. It swung around my legs in the wind and makes my shoulders look nice and broad.

I went to the beach on Saturday (Good Harbor on Gloucester). It was the most perfect beach day you could ever imagine. I had to take a few photos.

When Blood Coagulates- It’s Time to Operate

Such a catchy song. My internet-free weekend wasn’t exactly internet-free. It was astonishing how many times I automatically reached for my iphone to check my mail or visit twitter. It was a good start though. I’ll be doing more internet-free days. My goal is to be able to sit down and read a book for more than a half-hour at a time. Yeah, my brain is that fried.

The weather this past week has been atrocious. I managed to put on something cute for a couple of days, but the rest of the time I was a fashion fail.

In a time of chipmanzees I was a monkey

Nothing like listening to tracks from the nineties while at work. Now that the weather is nice, I have nothing to complain about, and therefore, nothing to write about. So, uh, here are some outfits!

oh yeah, I put blue streaks in my hair. It’s pretty subtle, but makes me feel bad-ass and I already want to add more!

I Can’t Use What I Can’t Abuse. and i can’t stop when it comes to you.

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.

Picture 351

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.

Aha Shake Taper Jean Girl with a Motel Face

I like today’s (well, yesterday’s) outfit better than the last one I posted. What’s been on your mind? I’ve been:

  • obsessively listening to Kings of Leon
  • avoiding doing laundry
  • eating desert before dinner
  • telling especially dirty jokes
  • missing my sister

Wait a minute honey, I’m gonna add it up

In all my excitement over New York Fashion Week, I haven’t bothered to post any outfits. And I’ve had some cute outfits!

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.

Love, love, love the combo of yellow and navy. Also, I think I finally perfected my version of “naturally” wavy hair.

Ever get a thought lodged in your head and it doesn’t go away, no matter what? No amount of alcohol, food, or laughter could stop me from thinking that thing.

I’ll keep kicking the crap till it’s gone…

I know that it won’t last, but the weather was gorgeous today. The sun came out, it wasn’t freeze-your-nips-off cold. It made my day. In fact, a coworker said that she hadn’t seen me this happy since, well… summertime.

So I broke out my new oxfords and added some ruffles. And the super-opaque tights? They’re the new fleece-lined tights from plush. I’m going to do a proper review, but in a word? buythem.

 

more ruffles and oxfords

Huh? You wish you could see the details better? Done!
