My first boot outfit!

Glasses, Brooks Brothers. Scarf, vintage. Half-zip sweater, The Gap. Bomber, Zara. Jeans, Levi's. Boots, thrifted!

So this was my first time wearing the new boots. It was freezing out for Florida standards so I had to do some serious layering. I loved the boots though! They're so comfortable and they're lined with fleece so they kept my cankles warm. I thought ppl would be gawking at me but no one really seemed to notice. I suppose everyone was just wasted, haha. I wish we still had another month of cold weather so I could continue to play with my new purchase, but unfortunately, it's already like beach weather here. I worked at Urban today for the first time in like 3 weeks and all of the girls were like sunburnt and in bikini's. Ughhhh I HATE florida.

Oh AND I got my new glasses! I'm seriously in LOVE with them!! Here are a few close-ups:





They're actually sunglasses but I had prescription lenses put in them. I am obsesseddddd! I've never been so happy with a pair of frames in my life.

Ok, well I'm exhausted and need to get to bed. I am turning into such an old man. All of my friends are out at some florescent day-glo party, meanwhile, I'm sipping "sleepy time" tea whilst cuddled up in bed with my laptop haha. Additionally, I clearly don't own any day-glo so that is my excuse for not showing, haha.

bye bitches :)

On Layering...

Jeans, Levi's. Mock neck shirt, ByCorpus. Oxford shirt, Kohls. Bow-Tie, Marc Jacobs. Belt and shoes, vintage.

Added a vintage corduroy blazer.

Add vintage plaid scarf.

I'm wearing this to go drop off an application to volunteer at the children's hospital and then to the movies later on tonight (I'm seeing Bride Wars! I mean...). Since it's like -90 degrees out I had to do some serious layering. Ugh, let's hope I don't get frost bite.

later :)

Romeo had Juliet...

... but give me three sweeties and a new corvette


Plaid shirt and braided belt, both vintage. Bomber Jacket, Zara. Jeans, Levi's 511. Shoes, Vans.

This is what I wore to the Mickey Avalon concert. I was going to wear something super grungy but I called the guys I was going with and they were both wearing blazers and ties (why I don't know?). So I had a change of plans. I had already been pre-drinking so I can't really describe why I chose these specific pieces but I did (haha). Regardless, I like the way this look turned out.

I wish we had taken a few photos of us the night of the concert because Lauren and my cousin Chelsea both looked super sexual. Lauren wore Givenchy wedges and no pants, enough said. The concert would have been more fun if the place wasn't packed with the typical morons that inhabit the Jacksonville area, however, a few of my UO coworkers showed up which was a nice surprise.

In other news, I have been glued to my computer the past few days following style.com and the Fall 2009 men's shows. I feel like this season has exhibited a lot more wearability than past seasons, probably a result of the recession and crashing retail markets (however, I'm not exactly an economist so don't mind me). Also, there has been a velvet explosion over in Milan. I am somewhat relieved by this bc a few weeks ago style.com declared velvet blazers the worst things of 2008 and I was mortified as I have been sporting mine like it's nobody's business. Clearly, I was just ahead of my time lol.

Lauren suggested that I do a "Runway, My Way" post and I think I'm going to try to do this in the near future! But if it turns out stupid I will save myself the embarrassment and just post about the shows without my personal interpretations.

bye bitches

p.s. why does it feel like Alaska outside?

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

Okie Dokie Karaoke

I wore this oversized gray t-shirt, maroon cardigan with gold buttons, multicolor scarf, braided belt, and loafers, all vintage along with my Levi's. The Levi's hadn't been washed in like a week so they were super baggy and made me look like I was wearing parachute pants or something (vomit). I would have had more fun were it not for two select losers that were in attendance. Ugh, my cousin is usually my partner in aural crime, however, due to the presence of said losers she didn't want to sing. However, I'm already practicing for next week. I will be singing with or without her. Prepare Jacksonville.

Sexual Seduction NYE (and the day after)

Ok, so we took over 70 pictures while Lauren was visiting so I'm only posting a few and I still feel like it's too many (haha). I had so much fun while lauren was visiting and I wish she could move in with me! But alas, I'm moving off to another busted location for medical school and she's moving to new york to be as fabulous as possible! She was only able to stay for two days but we had a blast. All of the pictures are from NYE except for the last one, which was from the day after.

Lauren looked so amazing the entire time she was visiting. I could barely even pay attention to what we were doing because I was too busy salivating over her insane fashion sense! On new years eve we went to the masquerade ball at Square One and we had an amazing time drinking our little hearts out, dancing up a storm, and scoping out the hotties haha. The next night we went to a different club and had an equal amount of fun!

On NYE lauren wore a vintage mink coat, YSL ankle boots (I can't breathe when I look at them), Chanel bag, and I'm not sure about her dress, but isn't it GORGEOUS?! Lauren is the most fashionable person on earth! She's coming for the Mickey Avalon concert, expect another photoshoot!

On NYE I wore my blue velvet blazer, black bow-tie, gray sweater, striped button up, and oxfords (all vintage) along with my Levi's and masquerade mask! Lauren and I met like... the Steven Miesel of Jacksonville who kept taking pictures of our feet... we loved it!

The last photo was taken the day after NYE. I'm wearing a vintage corduroy blazer (with elbow patches!), a childrens uniform shirt from Kohl's (haha), Burberry scarf (that a very sexy lady gave me), and an Alexander Olch tie (xmas gift from Lauren!).

Currently, I am slightly inebriated so I don't know if this all makes sense but I will come back when I'm sober and check it (haha)

bye sex machines

EDIT: The tie was Alexander Olch... IDK where I came up with Herkovitch... maybe it's because I love Russia so much... who knows? I'll do a separate post on this tie at a later date.

I've been wearing this for a few days now...

I wore this outfit for about 4 days straight... disgusting I know (oops). However, in my defense, I had to work all day everyday for like 4 days in a row... and I really like this look. I'm wearing a cotton pea coat by Fink that I recently bought at Urban Outfitters. It looks like a traditional pea coat but it's made out of sweatshirt material. I paired this with a maroon cardigan with gold buttons, my favorite XXL gray t-shirt, and a plaid wool scarf, all vintage. My briefcase is vintage Tumi. The jeans are Levi's and the suede boots are from J. Crew.

This ensemble was so comfortable that it actually felt like I was in my PJ's all day. I think the pea coat made it look a little more structured than it actually was, haha. The bag is sooo cool up close! It has all sorts of water stains and pen marks... clearly from the drunken board meetings it used to attend... I mean...

In other news, I haven't updated in almost two weeks because I've been celebrating the fact that... I GOT ACCEPTED TO MEDICAL SCHOOL!! Ahhh! I've been on cloud nine!

When I started the whole application process I seriously considered withdrawing my application because I thought I had no chance of getting in... especially after Dr. Wackerly, the head of the Biology major at UF, looked at my transcripts and asked me if I was "expecting to impress anyone with that?" Jerk...

Ok... now that I'm done having my celebrations every 5 seconds I'm going to update more frequently... pinky promise

bye lovers!
