updates: new beginnings!

Oh my! It has been a month, so sorry! I moved to Atlanta, landed two jobs, misplaced my camera's usb cable for a few weeks, in short, my life has been welcomed chaos!

I received new eyeglasses for my birthday (it was yesterday!)

eyeglasses: Warby Parker

I made extra large Oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies a few weeks ago for my fantasy baseball league's draft.

Top: Comme des Garcons Play, velvet skirt: UO

I wore this to a friend's birthday celebrations a few weeks ago.

top: Russian sailor shirt from a random shop on 23rd St in Chelsea, shorts: J.Crew

And finally, last week after an interview I dropped into J.Crew and picked up these shorts, and started referring to them as my "birthday shorts" though I didn't wear them yesterday (it was too cold.)

Spring brings flowers and puppies

Beautiful weather has landed in Georgia, for now. I am pumped! I need to start taking warm weather clothes out of storage, I feel like I just put them away!

cardigan: Pins and Needles (UO), Blouse: New York & Co, Tank: Hollister, Boyfriend Shorts: Olsenboye, Shoes: Etienne Aigner (goodwill), Belt: goodwll

 When I returned home last week, I discovered we acquired a new puppy! His name is Ribs, and he follows me everywhere, and so the photo-bombing begins...

Abby (the Rat Terrier) was already good at photo-bombing, but she has nothing on Ribs, at least she poses, right? They also fight for my attention and are jealous, plus if Ribs won't leave me alone, Abby rescues me from him, by tackling. Aren't they the sweetest?

I'm going back to Atlanta tomorrow! I'll bring my camera cord this time and hopefully amazing things will happen!

Brogues, Cuffs & Pizza

Oh goodness! You guys I've been in Atlanta for about a week now and of course I left my camera cable at home. All I have is a few photos I've been meaning to post for about two weeks now and photobooth shots.

Blazer: goodwill, Scarf: H&M, Jeans: BDG, Brogues: Etienne Aigner (goodwill)

Sweater: F21, Corduroys: Paper Denim & Cloth, same brogues as above

The only Valentine's Day gift I received, via Papa John's

Total Waist

Hi ya! I hope some of you hit up "After Christmas Sales" and bought candy half-off! I bought a lot of peppermint bark and a popcorn tin, two things I love and could eat year round. Yum!  I also picked up these pants for $4.95 at Urban Outfitters and they are quite comfortable.

Cashmere sweater: Versace (Beacon's Closet in Williamsburg), Pants: UO, Tights: Nicole Miller, Shoes: GAP

I love hi-waisted bottoms, but I feel like they look odd on me because I am short-waisted (the distance between my shoulders and natural waist is a much shorter distance than the average person) and for a short/petite (I'm 5'2 1/2 or 5'3 on a good day) person, majority of my body is made up of leg. I think I am at the point where I am over it and am just going to wear what I love and feel comfortable, as it should be. I encourage you all to dress that way, too. Be happy, be you.

Necklace: F21

Riding Nowhere

Sweater: F21, Riding Pants: Chelsea Flea Market (tag reads Bergdorf Goodman) Boots: Frye Paige Cuff, Lucite Bangle: Vintage, Polka Dot Bangle: Claire's (represent middle school!)

 Promptly after I finished shooting today, my camera died, well the lens broke or got bent or something. I don't know, it's just an old point & shoot. Maybe I'll get a new one for Christmas, until then I guess I'll have to start using my brother's point & shoot, he never uses it anyway.

Coat: UO (from 6 or 7 years ago)

Angry looks because of the frigid weather or maybe I knew what was about to happen to my trusty camera from the last 4 years, who knows?!

Summer in November

Ok, November I really don't understand. 80 degrees during Thanksgiving week? Umm...ok. That's south Georgia for you, I guess.  I opted for a season appropriate colored skirt, and shoes with a basic white tee. 

tee: Fruit of the Loom (yeahhh!) skirt: American Apparel, moccasins: UO, necklace: gift

Tomorrow, I'm attempting to bake a pumpkin cheesecake for my family's Thanksgiving festivities on Thursday. Oh, goodness I'm so nervous about it! I have always wanted to learn how to make one, so here is my chance!

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Shirt: GAP, Tank: BDG, Jeans: Hudson, Necklace: F21

These are from yesterday, and The Beatles are now on iTunes as of yesterday. I feel like everyone who wanted to listen to The Beatles could have just bought a cd cheaper in store compared to iTunes or pirated it like the rest of America. (Note: I do NOT endorse pirating.)

Blazer: Goodwill (worn 3 posts ago) Boots: Frye Paige cuff (worn several post ago)

I'm going out of town tomorrow for the weekend (Harry Potter midnight showing!) but I am going to try to keep posting while I am away. I think I can manage.

Dressed-Up With No Where To Go

The past few trips I've made to Atlanta, I've bought these two dresses.

Vintage & Handmade from Rag-O-Rama

 This vintage wool dress reminds me of a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress.

Yellow is Gold by Sunshine & Shadow from UO

This wool strapless dress is timeless.  Now, I just need to gain the social life these two dresses require or just throw sweaters over them, pair them with boots and go about my business.

Prep School Days

It's so warm today! Thus, no tights.

Blazer: Goodwill (little boys section) Shirt: Converse One Star (via Plato's Closet) Skirt: UO

Loafers: Bass Weejuns

Rings: F21 & tourist shop on Tybee

If you follow me on twitter, you've probably noticed me complaining about my brown nail polish (Essie's Little Brown Dress) and how I'm not sure if this relationship was going to last. Three days later, it's still on my nails. It's turned brown-er over those three days, it just appeared to be an odd black for the longest time, now me and my little brown dress nails are happy.

Happy Friday!

The Not-So Secret Garden

I'm bacckk! House sitting in Atlanta was fun, it was cold, I was sick and I hung out with a friends that I haven't seen in a while, and they were all boys! Ridiculous.
Here's what I'm wearing today.

Top: UO, Cami: H&M, Jeans: Paper Denim & Cloth Natalie, Shoes: Tara Subkoff for Espirit, Bag: Lucky Brand via Buffalo Exchange, Ring: Marc Jacobs Lola

This top has a really sweet lace pattern on the back.

It's really warm back in south Georgia compared to the temperatures in Atlanta. I'm sure that's why I'm almost well. I love cold weather, but my body doesn't.
