New Year's Eve! Already!

 

So the desert boots have arrived! I told you they'd be spectacular, no one believed me! 

I roamed the world wide web until I found the ideal pair, only $98 from Fossil!

Thrifted sweater, F21 skirt, GAP socks and tights

Ok, so the gravel looks bad but I can't just rest the suede ankle-deep in snow! 

Speaking of snow, it was seriously cramping my style last weekend. 

Metronorth canceled all services into the city when I was supposed to go in shopping with Olivia!

It's alright, I made it in anyways and have got some seriously sweet purchases to share, including some sale lucky jeans! (Lucky me!)

My vintage sweater is a crowd favorite. For some reason wearing something that used to belong to someone else doesn't gross me out, it exhilarates me. It makes me feel like I'm wearing history

Thank you Brynnja for making me get my ass on this blog post!

More to come folks. More. To. Come.

Alors on Dance

 

This awesome bright blue fountain pen has come into my possession by a delightful accident. 

Delightful at least until I left it open on my bed, those ink splotches aren't coming out...

These doodles have accumulated all day, they were the only thing keeping me awake, I've got this awful head cold and school has been pretty miserable!

My new desirables  have surfaced in my notebook, a Top Shop cape, and heeled oxfords. You might be skeptical, but wait until you see them! 

 (Okay fine, I haven't even seen them in person yet, but I have no doubt it will be love at first sight)

I wore my eagle shirt for the first time to school today!

 

It makes me feel so patriotic, which is ironic because I bought it in Germany.

But that's okay, I love irony.

When I was about twelve years old, for Christmas

my father bought me every episode of the original Twilight Zone series on DVD.

Best Christmas present ever!

Those were the days man, when the word Twilight was followed by Zone

Olivia snapped this for me at the library

You will get your photo cred!

Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving, and hope these photos didn't ruin anyone's holiday

Well this is awkward

You've seen these boots before, 

but you can't seem to put your finger on when or where 

or perhaps you can. 

I wore these boots a few posts ago

... and these legwarmers...

I also just wear them all the time because, I am the first person to admit, the extra few inches they give me are nice.

 

As much as I give myself props for making this animation, the candids always turn out to be my favorites

 

Dress from Urban Outfitters, vintage belt from Mom's closet, Tough Jeansmith jacket

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

(It's the one day that I'll forgive you for leaving the top of your jeans unbuttoned)

Heaven Sent

Today I found my religion at a 4-person table near the window at Hunan Cafe & Noodle Bar

After a many-course meal, courtesy of PBlatch himself and the fine folks at HC, we finally reached the best part, fortune cookies. My hand, the decider of fate, willed me towards a certain plastic wrapper, and what I found turned out to be more than divine.

 

I kid you not, this little pink delight was in my cookie.

You know what they say, you need to eat the cookie for the fortune to come true...
I ate the cookie...

This is my new motto, Good clothes open many doors.

And this is only half as awesome as my fortune cookie from a few weeks ago, ask me about it in person!

 

By me, a fine-point sharpie, and a coveted Bazaar

If you've seen one, you've seen a mall!

 

I've had this blog for months and I am still useless when it comes to adding photos. No, they weren't supposed to be checkered like they are, but I guess it didn't turn out so bad! 

J.Crew jacket, Fiorentini+Baker Boots...legwarmers.... skirt and lace top from LF, random pashmina

I refuse to put my legs away, goosebumps and all!

On Saturday, these boots trekked through the Danbury Mall. THERE, I SAID IT... MALL. 

No, I am not a mall kind of girl. When I was younger and going to squash tournaments, I would enthusiastically await the prevalent trips to the local malls in Boston, Philadelphia, and everywhere in between. My mother dreaded these trips, claiming she wasn't one for malls. Well mother, for once I guess I agree with you on something. There is something about linoleum that makes me nauseous and less inclined to shop. And let's be honest, I am rarely not inclined to shop.

However you can hardly compare Danbury Fair to King of Prussia (Look em up)

I can deal with malls though, because even though I don't think food courts should be part of a fashion experience, trips to the mall are with friends. And I love my friends.

(Even if it's just my mom)

Sweatpants, Tee-Shirt, Chillin' With no Makeup on

A dog-sitting weekend usually means the same thing, no make-up and an over-sized sweater with leggings and a beanie... I mean I don't really mind, these are the lazy days after all.

 

You would all laugh at me if you saw how many times I tried to take this photo, I wanted the right amount of awkward really, and I didn't want to overuse the "eyes closed wide-smile" so I thought thumbs up was the way to go. I don't know what we all saw in Photobooth back in Middle School, maybe we were just exploring the field of self-photography; However, I am certainly not encouraging a revival.

A day at Pyramid and a Macbeth essay await me (Macbeth, it's the Shakespeare play that just won't go away!), but I can't help but spend all my time making my Christmas list. Oh guys, it's gonna be a good one. I've finally found a shoe store I can afford without compromising real leather. Hallelujah, it's a miracle... but I won't give away my secret just yet, you'll have to work for that!

 

Everybody needs some humility, don't you think?

When I was younger, I used to make comics all the time, I'm going to try and get back into that, and I will definitely share them. Also, I made a collage for my grandmother that I will upload before I send to her
