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 :)

shenanigans and such...

Denim blazer, belt, oxfords, all vintage. Shorts, Gap. Shirt, American Eagle. Bow-tie, Ben Sherman. Watch, UO.

My mom, my cousin, Panda, and I had outdoor wine and cocktails this evening. I took a few pictures of one of my new blazers. It's denim! I think this will be good for the spring/summer. It's super light weight and very fitted. I know I said I was planning an editorial but that hasn't actually materialized yet, haha. I'm hoping to have something more fun for the other blazer. I'll keep you guys updated.

bye sex muffins :)

The Trials of my Life...

Tweed overcoat, tartan shirt, v-neck sweater, oxfords, braided belt and bowtie, all vintage. Khakis, Obey. Watch, UO

I found this coat a few years ago and even though I practically swim in it I bought it anyways. I loved the huge lapels and extended length double breasted look, and the tweed... oh the tweed!

I gave it to my mom after I bought it and she said she'd take in the waist for me so that it fit better. Two years later I find the thing hanging in her closet unaltered and decided to just bring it home, haha. My mother is a busy woman so I can't really blame her lol. Plus it's not like I really need a coat like this living in Florida. I guess I just saw this and wanted it regardless of wether or not I need it, oh shopping haha.

I thought maybe if it had a belt it would work. Then I thought maybe I could add one of my own belts. This might be kind of weird to take off when I got wherever I was going though haha... who knows? What do you guys think?



Added faux croc belt and grey leather duffel, both vintage.

Oh, and here's a close up of the bow-tie. I bought it at the Hell's Kitchen flea market in New York. Isn't it sexual? Umm, I mean dignified lol

Oh. My. God.

I woke up super early this morning and couldn't sleep. I first went over to Where The Lights End and looked at pages and pages of beautiful humans only to open up Photobooth and realize that I looked like this hot mess...




bahahahaah! I didn't even know my hair was capable of doing that? I'm definitely wearing it like this all day.

Jesus, I seriously need to pull my life together lol.

Oh and for the record, I am wearing a Snuggie... be jealous... I have warm arms... you don't...



I promise I'll post something fashion related next (I got new vintage blazers, I'm dying). I know my precious readers must be getting tired of my shenanigans... sorry lol

bye loves :)

Hey Look...

My senior honors thesis was published today in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery. I'm finally the author of something besides The Daily Bozo haha. I'm so excited because completing all the research, writing the paper, and actually getting it published took over two years. It was definitely the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm such a clown though, I can't believe they actually published it haha...

Ok, enough about boring medical stuff... two things that are making me laugh today...

1. This

2. a video of me in high school... lol

EDIT: I actually put the wrong video of Ja'mie King (my idol lol) here's the one I meant to post...

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?
