BREEZY FLORALS

It is such beautiful weather here. Temps are getting back into the 80s, but the breezes are wonderful. I love how casual this outfit is. Not much beats a flowing skirt, cotton tee, and flats. Hope life is wonderful for y'all!

Top: H&M - well made and so comfortable
Skirt: Kimchi Blue - found on great sale
Flats: Forever 21 - ancient and much loved
Earrings: don't remember, possibly F21 or a gift
Sunglasses: UO
Hair: attempted a fancy braid on wet hair, that did not turn out well, so got the banana clip

ZOO DAY

Today, mom and I took H to the zoo! He had a great day petting goats and alpacas, feeding lorikeets and other birds, not shying from the giraffes, eating pickles and fries, and watching the spider monkeys. He fell asleep while walking around the Natural Florida exhibit, but was up and ready for more before we had finished our lunch. (By the way, Brevard Zoo has an amazing pulled pork sandwich... they stuff it with coleslaw and french fries. SO GOOD.) I'm loving my week off from school, and can't wait to do a few more relaxing things before classes start again. DIYODS coming up!

NABLOPOMO: FREE STYLING

Just a few snaps from my night out with the laydeez. I need to take my camera out more. I like making these photo spread thingies.

:)

WORD TO YOUR MOTHER

I finally downloaded my camera from Christmas. Found a few snaps of my Christmas outfit, so here we go: another OOTD. I love this. It was basic, relaxed, and super easy. I just wish I had the head-to-toe, but the camera is usually used to capture H being adorable. Oh well!



Top: Banana Republic - Santa has great taste!
Jeans: Forever 21 skinny jean
Heels: Guess - half-size too big, but I love them anyways.
Jewelry: all gifts from family & BFF.


Happy Saturday, lovers!

RIDE 'EM COWGIRL

I disappeared from everywhere but the Facebook recently. To be quite frank with you all, I've felt myself slipping back into the dark passenger of depression. It's due to forces outside my control, which makes a control-freak like myself feel even worse. But, I've battled through to the other side, and while it's still cloudy, I can see the sun coming back. (Cheese-fest, I know.) So, I took the time I needed to get myself and my surroundings back on track. Things are looking up.

Moving on to the outfit, I went over to a friend's to eat Chinese, drink beer, play dominoes, and chill out. Since we were in our semi-cold snap, I busted out the boots. I'm using any excuse to wear my Fall wardrobe!

Happy Monday, lovers!

"ROYALE WITH CHEESE."

Pulp Fiction is practically a rite of passage these days. I can't think of anyone under 35 who hasn't seen it. Well, the itty-bitties, of course, but we wait until 10 to show Tarantino-esque films in my family. (And most of us grew up normal. Kind of.) While visiting a friend, she gave me one of her son's old shirts with Jules and Vincent emblazoned on the front. Way better than a Royale with cheese.

So, Lee, here's to you!

STUDENT APPRECIATION

I finally wore real clothes today, instead of scrubs. It was "Student Appreciation Day" so they let us dress down and eat BBQ. (Actually, it turned out to be hot dogs, which was disappointing.) Since I wasn't coming home only to slip into my nightie, I thought I should document the occasion. If I did real OOTDs everyday, you'd get to see my wide range of lounging nighties. And it would get boring pretty quick talking about them, although it could boost my traffic.

I look cranky above, despite my classic comfort threads, because I'm surfing the red tide. I love that euphemism. If you say that where I live (where surfing is a perk), you'd be asked why anyone would surf during the red tide. Red tide is also an algae bloom we get around here. I like the fact that our blooms can be deadly, as I think it is quite fitting to my mood during my red tide. That is a nerdy way to describe my period. I apologize.

As for the outfit, I was feeling laid back, and think I portrayed a decent air of chillaxness. Since the A/C is always so cold, I grabbed a decent weight jacket from Ecote to top off the basic tank and jeans. Adding some personality into the outfit with the bold necklace. I love ethnic or costume-ish jewelry.

Also, I got my hair styled! Back to the long shag with bangs. I love how it looks on me. Maybe this time, I'll keep my hair as is!

GET YOUR ARMS T-REXIN'

{I've got a fever. And the only prescription is more cowbell.}

Do you remember the glorious days where I was serious and demure and not tacky? (HINT: That is a trick question.) If you do remember those days, sorry to say, it was probably a dream or acid flashback. Yeah, bummer, man.


I had a doctor's appointment today, and managed to remember that oh, hey, I'm a fashion blogger. Let's get some outfit shots! before I came home to slip into my PJs. The above snap is a fever shot; desperately trying to fan the fever down. On the plus side, I'm getting better, and don't have to worry about dying from a heart attack before I'm 30. Hooray!

IN MEMORIUM

For the USA readers, I hope you had a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend. It's one of the holidays that means much more to me as an adult then it did as a kid. Twenty years ago it was a day off school and my best friend's birthday. Now, I think of the men and women who serve this country, who fight for this country, and who've died for our country. My political protests mean nothing without their sacrifices, and I never let a day go by without thanking them for the America I live in.



{Best friend and her boy.}

On Saturday, there was a surprise party for my best friend at the Outback attended by her family and a few of our friends. She almost didn't go out to dinner with her boyfriend because they had a late lunch, and she wasn't hungry. Oh, her face was priceless. After dinner, the friends and siblings went bar hopping.




{Almost-Brother-In-Law, BF, and Brother. Jagerbomb. Yeah.}




{Steve Jobs is taking over the youth.}

The next day was her birthday BBQ. We played Liar's Dice with horrible pirate accents, drank lots of beer, and tried not to cry at the sight of fifteen year olds setting up a beer pong table. (They filled the cups up with pool water, but knew what the game was. Depressing.)
