OUTfit

I wore this out Friday night. Pretty casual for me, but I still felt sleek and fabulous, haha.


You can kind of see my recent purchase from Urban Outfitters peeking out of the side of my top. I love the little glimpse of lace!

ain't got nothing at all

I'm braving the snow and the cold today and wearing a dress. Hurrah!

You can't really tell from the pictures, but I dyed my hair once again. It's sort of a really dark, almost maroon-ish red. Not exactly what I was going for, but it's temporary and I'm getting used to it.

Dress: F21, Cardigan: F21, Boots: Charlotte Russe

My dad got me this cardigan for Christmas. He has surprisingly good taste for a man who's wardrobe consists of 25 year old motorcycle T-shirts!

Locket: J. Crew, Key/Heart Necklace: F21

speak little nightingale

It's been a casual week for me, which pains me so. However, it's given me a chance to shop my own closet, which is always fun!



I've had this blazer for a year or two (from F21, of course) and I sort of forgot about it for a while, but when I wore it today I remembered exactly why I bought it! I love the stripes and it fits me exactly the way I want it to, which is always satisfying.



On a side note, I just bought this little bra-thingy from Urban Outfitters and I love love LOVE it! It reminded me so much of Edie I just had to buy it. I'm not sure how I'm going to wear it yet, but when I figure it out there will be pictures



To everyone going to Fashion Week: have a fantastic time! I wish I could be there :( Alas, one day...

the sailor boys have demons

Sorry about the lack of updates; it's been so unbelievably cold outside that I haven't been able to get too creative! We had a giant snowstorm over the weekend, which quite frankly hindered my style. Stupid weather, what were you thinking?

Pants: H&M, Shirt: H&M, Cardigan: Express

Nothing like my cheap, all-purpose over-the-knee boots! They go with everything.

I've been layering necklaces a lot lately, which I think is a fun look.
Locket: J. Crew, Cameo: Vintage, Gold Scarab Beetle bracelet: vintage, Black bracelet: old gift!

And my everlasting inspiration....

mirror

Sadly I spent most of my day watching Top Model re-runs, loving to hate Tyra, then struggling to hate her, then accepting her for who she is: a charitable narcissist. Anyway, here's my outfit :)



I watched Factory Girl again, so I have definitely been very inspired to wear crazy Edie makeup at any possible opportunity.
Jacket: Vintage (my mom's), Dress: F21



You know, instead of recommending one song, I'm just going to go ahead and tell you to listen to the entire Velvet Underground collection. Or as much as you can. They pretty much rule. I realize that more and more each day.

ready to wear

Got bored, so I checked out some of the ready-to-wear spring 2010 lines. I have to say, I'm LOVING Alice + Olivia. So cute. Check it out:



I LOVE these pants. I wish I could find them in a much cheaper version. I'd wear them in a heartbeat.

bright star

We did Keats today in English. I really want to see Bright Star, but alas I lack the funds. Thankfully we live in the Red Box age.
