I wish Jacksonville would fall off the face of the earth




Tee and cardigan, American Apparel. Shorts, The Gap. Faux croc belt and loafers, vintage. Watch, Urban Outfitters. Glasses, Brooks Brothers.

I wore this out running errands yesterday and then I was too lazy to change before going out so I wore it out to a bar, too haha. I'm really starting to hate Jacksonville. It is seriously a quagmire of conservatism and egregious fashion sense. It's so annoying to go out and never EVER see one person that is remotely well dressed much less stylish and unique. Ughh, woe is me. I guess there are worse things in the world. On another note, I just found out that one of my friends from college got assigned to a client here in Jax for two weeks! So that should be fun. Also, I'm doing brunch with another friend from high school *gasp* on sunday! So I do have a few things to look forward to!

I've seriously been trying to get in shape because summer is just around the corner and I have some seriously cute and seriously short vintage board shorts that I am DYING to wear to some beach/pool party or something. However, they won't be seriously cute on me if I look like a bloated pubescent 14 year old with man boobs. My regimen thus far has been starvation and running everyday. I don't think it is working quick enough so I'm going to have to start going to the gym and using those weird things called weights and a few other torture devices. Hopefully this will pay off and I'll look sexual in time for summer parties. We shall see!

On second thought, I have no friends so I don't know who is going to be hosting these amazing parties I'm imagining in my head. Hopefully, I can make a trip to nyc or something. That would be ideal.

Anyways, I hope you guys all have a wonderful weekend!

Bye LOVES!

On volume and clownery...

So this is the outfit I'm wearing out tonight (tenatively)

Vintage tartan shirt. American Apparel jeans. J.Crew Desert Boots. Vintage Dior belt. UO Watch
This is the tweed coat with the skinny jeans. Love it!



Add vintage tweed coat and Burberry scarf.

However, this is what I'll probably end up wearing since it's not really could enough to wear the tweed haha...


Add Fink cotton pea coat, from UO.

I don't really have much to say about this. I love the contrast of the volume of the tweed coat and super slim jeans (thanks for the idea 00o00). I wish it weren't 9000 degrees outside and I could wear my little coat but alas I live in Florida haha.

I think I'm going to karaoke tonight! Woo hoo yay!

bye guys :)

What I wore to work... werk





Here I'm wearing a vintage tartan button up, Levi's 511 Alpine jeans, gold watch, and classic lace-up vans. My bag is from American Apparel.

I don't know why I decided to post on this particular outfit... I guess I just like it a lot. I feel very 80's collegiate... and I guess I like that haha. This is the most comfortable shirt ever, especially when I leave it untucked. I loveee it.

Ugh, I'm exhausted from going out last night and then working all day. I need to sleeeeep bc I have a super long shift tomorrow (barf).

bye bitches

Blazers and Loafers





Here I wear a blue velvet blazer, pink pocket square, Dior belt, and Cole Haan loafers, all vintage. I wore these items with a white v-neck and gray skinny jeans, both American Apparel.

I like all the contrasts in this outfit. The loafers, gold watch, and pocket square are very preppy, however the fit of the blazer and jeans combined with the fact that I don't shower makes me look like a yuppie gone bad. It's as if I'm the child of a former Lehman brother employee... I mean...

I wore this to my family's Christmas party where I proceeded to hide a handle of vodka in the bathroom and take shots periodically throughout the night. This way I didn't really care that a few of my family members were looking at me as if I was dressed ina space suit or something. It was a splendid good time if you ask me!

In other news, I am still kind of confused as to what to wear to this party I have to go to this weekend. I found out that the theme is Champagne and Fried Chicken (is it spnsored by Dsquared? I mean...). I'm thinking short shorts, oxfords (no socks), my school uniform button up, and one of those Oscar de la Renta ties I have... probably the blue and red one. We'll see what I come up with.

later lovers

What I Wore to the Moovies...



I went to the movies tonight with my family and THIS is what I wore. The outfit as a whole is pretty boring if you ask me but I LOVE this scarf! I just bought it yesterday. It's from Urban Outfitters and it's huge, haha. It's actually a real Keffiyeh (it says so on the tag!) and is supposedly somewhat controversial. Apparently, it used to be sold at Urban as the "anti-war" scarf but then they had to pull it and rename it the "desert scarf." Geesh, you can read all about the Keffiyeh here...

The rest of my outfit is American Apparel and then suede boots are J. Crew.

I'm somewhat disappointed with myself right now. No, not just because I'm such a hippo that these two awkward shots are the only ones I would dare post online, but because this outfit is SO boring. The scarf is the only thing I find remotely interesting! Hmm... this is intolerable! As my soul mate Mary-Kate Olsen says: "everything I do has to be visually appealing to me."

I'm going thrfiting tomorrow (and the rest of the week) with the goal of finding something a little more visually provocative... a kilt would be exciting!

I will update with my finds as I acquire them!

I asked for clean, athletic, and smiling; She sent me tired dirty and paunchy...


So I was sick all day yesterday and the batteries on my shaver died and then I realized I overdrafted my account... ughhh, not a good day. But I did manage to put together a relatively decent outfit as I went out to fix all of these problems... i.e. go to the bank and buy batteries. I pretty much have a beard right now. 

I'm wearing American Apparel jeans, Urban Outfitters watch, vintage Bass loafers, vintage Lacoste cardigan, and this scarf I thrifted... Oh and I bought my glasses from a chinese man on the street in new york! 

I love this cardigan because it has a lot of volume but it's still really short. It has a full shape which contrasts nicely with these jeans. 

In other news I was going to start my Snejana diet/workout regimen today but unfortunately I hurt my back the other night while I was participating in a drunken foot race and now running is out of the question. I tried to take some fun jumping pictures for this outfit to capture the volume of the cardigan but it was too painful :(

I guess I'll just have to continue with my Rachel Zoe starvation diet... just kidding she's naturally thin, obviously.
