Thankful

November 22, 20112 Comments

Counting one’s blessings is always a healthy and humbling thing to do. This year I’m thankful for a handsome new husband, a healthy and expanded family, sweet friends, puppies, yummy food, free time and so much more. I always think of Thanksgiving as a passage into six weeks of holidays and it’s lovely to be on the front end.

A happy girl is a pretty girl, don’t you agree?

What I Wore: The long & short

(what i wore: skirt – lush from shop ultra, blouse – vintage from potter’s house, heels & earrings – forever21)

I had the opportunity to get a blowout at Ultra studios last Friday. It was a total treat. Anyway, I found this asymetrical skirt and knew it must be mine. I wore this Monday, when the weather was balmy but I think the skirt will really come alive over tights and platforms.

Birthday!

Tomorrow is my brand new hubby’s birthday. We took the day off to celebrate (as if we really needed an occasion). Isn’t it so much fun to make merry and be carefree and just bask in happiness? Yeah the answer is yes.

I hope you’re celebrating something, anything this weekend!

I was pretty much obsessed with this outfit, it felt very 90s but also seasonally appropriate and fun. I whipped my hair back and forth all day!

A Gaggle of Girls

I believe women dress for other women 95% of the time. Don’t you? There are rare occasions where we need/want/seek a male’s approval, but they’re pretty few and far between. That’s mostly because most of the men in our lives, namely love interests, aren’t quite adept at fashion or what is ‘in’ (for women) – and let’s face it do we really want them to be?

This is a wee dedication to girls everywhere that are rocking it out on the streets looking fabulous.

A Spooky Little Girl like You

October 27, 2011November 27, 20124 Comments

Halloween is one of my all-time favorite occasions. I LOVE to dress up in costume. I’m the kind of girl that wears wigs to a concert and noodles, so you can imagine…Luckily, my new husband shares my affinity for playing dress-up and allows himself to be “convinced” to participate.

At our rehearsal dinner, my mom made an extremely lovely video montage of us and we were dressed up in costume in so many of the pictures.

I began to embrace it as our equity. Here are some costumes from years past.

2008 Marlboro Man & Hula Girl

2009 Cavepeople

2010 Little Red & the Big Bad Wolf

This year we are being Zorro & some version of CZJ from Mask of Zorro. What about you?

What I Wore: Socks with Sandals

How do you feel about the socks with sandals trend? I’ve discussed it before and while I don’t think I’m ready to try anything wild (at least at work) I’m really into it as a means of transitional dressing. I’ve always had trouble transitioning to cold weather. Fall is definitely here and you know what that means…

WINTER IS COMING…(off subject Game of Thrones reference)

What I Heard: New Music from Washed Out & Lana Del Rey

October 18, 2011October 18, 2011Leave a comment

I am so into Washed Out‘s “chillwave” sound and I love this video for Amor Fati.

There is a ton of buzz online about Lana Del Rey and how she’s too pin-up looking to actually be new to this.

Ehh whatever, I’m really into her sound.
