Outfit post numero uno

I've been hesitant about doing an outfit post because honestly I don't think the way I dress is groundbreaking. But I guess when you live in a sea of sweats and Uggs anything remotely different stands out.









Hat: Charter Club
Mesh Dress: Sara Campbell
Velvet Dress: Express Tricot
Belt: Wet Seal
Shoes: Aldo

Holy SHITE!!!!

A few months ago I watched a behind the scenes video with Emma Watson for an Elle UK photo shoot and I became obsessed with a hat she wears for a picture that never made it into the magazine. Check it out:


Found at 1:02, 1:30, 1:50, blah blah blah basically this hat is in the whole video

Anyway after seeing this I was determined to find out where the hat was available and I feverishly searched the internets with no success.

But Lo and behold! It's the freakin' hat!!!



I was so excited! Closure! Sadly the hat is over $600, but I feel content knowing that it has been found.

Oh My..

Greetings from Seattle! Been visiting family for the past week. Very exciting, very exhausting. Since we've always lived WAY far away from family, whenever we're in town our time is completely absorbed with seeing people we don't know. Awkward. The plus side is that it's wonderfully warm compared to the weather in Boston! I love it! And for the first time I've really gotten to visit the city. It's strange that I lived in WA for 2 years and never really got to know how great Seattle is! My favorite in the US so far. Pictures and such to be posted when I get home.

On a different note I'm so excited to be here during the OLYMPICS!!!!! I have always loved watching them and generally do so religiously. Fortunately our trips tend to coincide with the Olympics so we can watch in our hotel room because we don't have cable at home. The only down side is the coverage on NBC. Fuck you NBC! It's absolute shite! I can't believe how terrible it is. So skewed to AMERICAN dominance and no continuous live coverage. It's especially torturous being so close to Canada, which has much better coverage, and I have no access to it.

Tonight I'm especially excited for the men's figure skating. I was a competitive figure skater for 8 years and I love the sport! It's so weird to see Evgeni Plushenko again since he was in his hay day years ago when I was still skating. I just wish the commentators would strangle themselves. Scott isn't so bad but that other ________ needs to die. Ergh! And on CTV Sale and Peltier are the commentators. Why couldn't they get someone of their caliber?! Bah! Well at least now I can go online later and find videos so I don't have to deal with NBC any longer.

Grammar shmammar

My grammar is abysmal at best. In 5th grade when they started whipping out the Grammar textbooks I decided I didn't really care about grammar and promptly began day dreaming. If you ask me to define an adverb or a preposition I am completely at a loss as to what they are. So new goal, learn grammar. Woo hoo! Being home means I have more materials to create my own curriculum so I introduce to you: The Deluxe Transitive Vampire!



My parents found it in a used book store at Pike Place Market. I love the pictures and the humor of the book so I'm hoping it'll keep my interest long enough to teach me what I should have learnt 10 years ago.









Daily Drabble

-ASOS boots have finally arrived after much anticipation. I am pleased to say that they look much nicer than the pictures, which is a relief. After ordering them I kept going back to the site and worrying that they look cheap.

-Have been toying around with the idea of making my own magazine just for fun. Something silly to occupy my time.

-For some reason I am unimpressed with the blogs coming from Boston. I don't know why, they're perfectly adequate. I guess that's it. I was hoping for something that would be a little different and have it's own Boston feeling. Most impressive blogger I've found so far is http://www.phosphenefashion.com

-Speaking of blogging I'm sort of at a loss as to what I want to do with my own blog. What I really want is balance. Perhaps I should structure the blog more to push myself to find new things.

A minor tragedy...

:(:(:(:( My laptop is broken. The screen is cracked to be specific. It happened when I was feeling bratty and hurled my phone at my bed. Apparently my aim was off I struck my laptop with great force. I've never had Karma be so instantaneous. So it is my fault and hopefully I can get it fixed, but until then I have to use my family laptop which is really old and laggy. My family always seems to pile all their crap on without any organization which is really frustrating. So I'm going to work on it and try my best to clean it up until I can get mine back. I miss my baby.
