WARNING: CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE

So, how'd all you on the East Coast enjoy your brush with Irene? New Yorkers, I'm specifically looking at y'all. It was surreal watching hurricane coverage without having to get prepped for the landfall. Hope everyone survived it alright!

I'd hoped to get some real posting taken care of this afternoon when I finished class, but was hit with a wicked sinus infection this weekend. Sorry, lovers. I plan on taking it easy tonight, and picking up on the ridiculousness tomorrow.




Happy Monday!

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!

Speak easy, lovers!

WAKE ME UP WHEN YOU GO GO

Pardon me, but the medicine is making my loopy. Loopier than normal, that is.

Yes, yes, lovers, your dear blogtress has fallen ill. With the sneezing and the coughing and the fever and the shivers.... Oye gevalt! (Please read that in the voice of your preferred Jewish grandmother/babushka.) Fun fact: Having a fever during 90+ temperatures is not fun at all. So, I've been doping on antibiotics and NyQuil quite a bit, please pardon moi.

One thing I've been working feverishly on is thrifting. Expect a summer DIYODS tomorrow. I'm going to dose up some more.



UPDATE:
My vintage kimono is not going to work for the DIY I had planned. Will have to hunt out some maxis at the thrifts. Sorry!

BUT I CAN'T HELP IT IF I'M JUST A FOOL

I still have the Deathly Holiday Plague and Thanksgiving is at my house this year. Oh yeah, this is going to end well. I'm hoping to finish cleaning up today, and bake my tortes tomorrow. Chocolate ganache FTW!

I dragged my butt out to shot some OOTD snaps, but please forgive my lack of makeup or hairstyling.

Outfit, tada!

Top: Forever 21
Cardigan: Forever 21
Jeans: Forever 21 (super tight, and not jeggings, surprisingly)
Shoes: Michael Antonio
Earrings: pearls from my friend, Cass
Ring: Forever 21
Necklace: Forever 21
Title: Shakira "Fool" (I love love love Shakira. Started listening to all her older albums after wearing out the 'Sale el Sol' album. Yes, I need help.)

Sizing info: Top medium; cardigan medium; jeans 29; shoes 7.


Now, I'm off to work on a few DIYODS (Do It Your Own Damn Self) instead of being a useless snotty lump. DIYs usually don't appeal to me, but that's why I tell myself "DIYODS!" when I see something really cute and fairly easy. And if you can keep your fingers crossed for me and the project happening over the next few months, I'd appreciate it! I'll tots spill the beans once it's finished! (And include snaps!)

Thank you, darlings!

OH, YOU'LL LOVE MY (AH AH AH) TOXIC LOVE

I am sick of this bug. Although at this point I'm not sure if it's the bug or the antibiotic I took, but something seriously funky is doing a breakdance in my tummy. Since I already feel lousy, today's OOTD is being replaced with my comforts.

Tea love.

Stripey socks!

A good read.

I'll be back in the swing of things tomorrow. Hopefully. With or without my toxic love.


*rimshot*

YEAH YOU MAKE ME WANT YOU MADLY

My head cold from Sunday is hanging around still. So please forgive my (more than normal) paleness in today's OOTD. Also forgive my silliness. As I've said, dork runs in my family.


The sky has been crystal clear today, breezy and about 75 degrees. It's a lovely day to hit the beach, window shop or laze in the hammock. Even with such lovely weather, I can't wait for our next cold front. Before my Northern family finds a way to dump all their snow on my head, here's the OOTD.









Shirt: Forever 21 fitted V-neck (I love these and have them in a ton of colors)
Jeans: Forever 21
Blazer: silence and noise (I think I'm going to add elbow patches to the blazer. It's just missing some flair to it.)
Belt: Forever 21 (Looking back, I think a leopard-print would have really amped this look.)
Earrings: art fair purchase
Bracelet: Wet Seal
Shoes: Deena & Ozzy oxfords
Purse: Carryland
Title: The Dollyrots "Just Like Chocolate"





My sizing: Top is a large, blazer is a medium, jeans are a 29, and the shoes are a 7. I need to measure my bust, waist and hips, as I've certainly grown from 32-24-38. Best guess, I'd say 36-28-44. My booty is big.

COUGHIN' LIKE IT AIN'T NO THANG

Sick as a dog. I finally caught the mutant flu going around my office since early April. Everyone else had gotten it months ago. Now, I'm chilling here with my Pink Floyd shirt, stripey socks, and The Origin of Species. Not too shabby.

:)
