not only is it my friday today -a fact that has become increasingly necessary and thrilling with each passing of the clock's minute hand -but it's also (almost) the eve on a brand new month, one that has me equal parts overbooked and over(ly) excited. so with that said, i would be a liar if i ...
“wait, i need that” wednesday -8/29/12
i'm not gonna lie, this recent dip in temperature (despite the non-dip in humidity) has me all giddy for fall. but really, when am i not giddy for fall? exactly. so for this week's rendition of "wait, i need that" wednesday, i'm drawing inspiration from this photo i found on pinterest that i would love nothing more ...
under control
i've realized there are a lot of things that are simply out of my control. the weather, gravity, whether or not that sweater i've been eyeing at j.crew goes on sale or not... but what i have realized i can control is my reaction to said circumstances. my emotions, feelings, the way in which i handle ...
windy city wardrobe
so i've alluded to my trouble with packing for trips before, right? about how i'm a person who likes to have options despite knowing full well that taking five pairs of pants and sixteen pairs of undergarments is not necessary for a four-day trip (two days of which will be spent on air travel). and that ...
a “me” reminder
i mean, hi, i'm still here (you thought i had moved and didn't provide a forwarding address, didn't you? never!). i know i've missed me here, too (i still managed to post daily outfits, so it's not like i was completely absent). but like most things in life, writing inspiration comes in ebbs and flows. sometimes ...
a whale of a fear
if you know me (and you should by now), you are well aware of my crippling fear of whales. the humpback and blue variety, in particular, and further still, especially when they are breaching. well, i'm not sure if the state of california is out to get me or what, but just this morning, i was sent ...
the birth of “wait, i need that” wednesdays
sometimes and by "sometimes" i mean every day that ends in "y," i window shop online. nine times out of ten, the purchases never make it out of my cyber-space shopping cart, because despite popular opinion i am not growing a money tree in my backyard (i couldn't even do that seeing as i don't actually have ...
adventures in unofficial restaurant reviewdom
so i don't normally go into great detail about the special little dinners my guy and i get treated to in exchange for my writing services, but we had a lovely one at 25 forty bistro & bakehouse on saturday that i'd thought i'd share. plus i managed to take photos of every single plate ...
fay-ban foolishness
i should have known better, but the sun was so ridiculously glarey and squinting causes frown lines, so i went against my better judgement and donned my ray-bans (relax, they are "fay-bans" as infaux ray-bansand cost a whopping $8 from the swap meet) into the ocean as, in a very "unlike me" moment, i found ...
add it to my repertoire
they say you should never stop learning; never cease to acquire one more bit of knowledge or one additional skill. and i couldn't echo that sentiment more. and while i may not be one of the thousands of students embarking on their collegiate journey today, i will say that these past few months have been as ...
