Hot Pink Sneaker Pumps, Why Not?

They’re garish, I know. But I couldn’t resist.
Bandana from a random shop in Asheville, NC.
FotL t-shirt.
Target skinny jeans.
Shoes on clearance from Electrique Boutique, classy all the way.
P.S. That’s a clementine I’m peeling. They’re such a great winter treat!

These Scarves Are Freaking Sweet

These yummy handmade scarves come from Oak, a Boston-based boutique that specializes in handmade clothing and gifts. Aren’t they cute? I threw in the cupcake one just for you guys because I know how much everyone loves cupcakes.

Blonde For Life

Last week, I dyed my hair red and hated it! Even though I used a temporary dye that was supposed to wash out in several shampoos, I couldn’t wait to get back to my natural color. I promptly went out and bought some Color Oops, and it worked like magic (or chemistry, I suppose)!

Sorry to [...]

A Thrifter’s Dilemma

Heartbroken over the vintage boots, my lust for an orange boot was confirmed. When I came across these incredible 80%20 Dani Patent Hidden Wedge boots designed by Ce Ce Chin, it was like wolf whistles, drooling, and eyes popping out of my head just like in the cartoons. Okay, so I exaggerate (is this the [...]

Kick Out The Germs!

Bacterium Print by waterbears.

I just want to say “Thank you!” to all my well-wishers who have wished me a speedy recovery here, through email, and on Twitter, and give everyone an update. ♥

I came down with a chest cold this past week (the second cold this month!) that progressed into bronchitis and pharyngitis despite my [...]

Broken-Hearted Over A Pair Of Boots

I saw this pair of vintage boots on eBay and about dropped. They are AMAZING. Salmon suede with a bulky zipper on the back… ::sigh:: They’re so unique! No one had bid on them yet and the auction had only thirty minutes to go. I thought, “Super! No one else with a 9.5 size foot [...]

I Dyed My Hair Red

And I hate it! Thankfully, it’s not permanent and should wash out soon. I think I might let some Head & Shoulders soak in for a while and coax it out faster (a tip I learned from my friend, Sunny. Got any others?). I’ve been a blonde my entire life so this is shocking [...]

Blogroll Roll-Out

If you have added me to your blogroll and I have not reciprocated then there are three reasons why that might be:
.
1. I haven’t noticed.
2. I’ve noticed, but I’m preoccupied with Google Reader or Bloglovin and forget.
3. Your site has nothing to do with mine (not likely).
.
So, if you have added me to your list [...]

Lady Liberty

I bought this epic vintage shirt from eBay and I can’t wait for it to arrive!

From The Locker Room To My Closet

The top is a vintage basketball jersey–it’s very thick and reversible. It looks pretty old, too. Really cool. The scarf is from Target. The vintage chain necklace is the same one I wear all the time these days. The jeans are thrifted and the boots are vintage. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Calling All Dandies!

Where are my boys at? Grant, Dapper Kid, Casey… this one’s for you! It’s a new shop called the Fine and Dandy Shop that sells accessories for well-dressed dudes. The Anchor cufflinks have your name all over them, Grant!
And as for the rest of us with our y-chromosome deficiencies, it’s not a bad place to [...]

My New Favorite Perfume

I don’t talk about it much here, but I’m a big fan of perfume. In fact, one of my dream jobs is to be a parfumist–this of course includes living in a tiny house/apt. in some exotic location and becoming a connoisseur of silent film. They just go hand-in-hand. But moving on, my mom gave [...]

More Adventures In Brightly-Colored Jeans

This is what I wore last night to a dive bar to have drinks with some friends.

J. Crew t-shirt layered over a Target tank, Target jacket (I love this jacket–I want to find one like it in black. Have any tips on where I can find one?), Vanilla Star turquoise/black acid wash skinny jeans, vintage [...]

Election Day Outfit

Thrifted red and white striped button-down, Old Navy gray tank top, Wet Seal skinny jeans, Target flats, Wet Seal beret, vintage chain necklace, wooden ring from eBay, Tibetan Om Mani Padme bracelet.

I’m soo glad it’s cold enough to start wearing hats again. I live with a beret on all winter long!

Happy Election Day!

All my American friends better make sure they vote today!
