It's Official

I suck at nail art. I tried to do this two times and this was the better of the two results. Awful. Just awful- waste of nailpolish, waste of nailpolish remover.

The Things I Wear

Back with day two? The next day? I know, I know, I'm a rockstar. I didn't wear this today, but earlier this week this was an outfit I got lots of compliments on which is always a lovely way to spend a day. This outfit is actually a bunch of stuff I've had forever all lumped together in one outfit. Here are the outfit details:

cardigan- Gap outlet, 2009
T-shirt- Old Navy, 2008
Big gold necklace- Buffalo Exchange
Belt- thrifted, 2008
Skirt- Buffalo Exchange, 2009
Wedged boots- Sears, 2011

Today was a sad day.
A very sad day indeed. I ate my last pumpkin-cream-cheese-filling-muffin! Considering I made 24 earlier this week, it's mostly sad they were eaten that quickly, but I'm also sad I don't get to eat them anymore.

I have a very committed relationship to food.

Im attempting a new nailpolish technique now, I'll let you know how it goes. Should be interesting, because I suck at nails.

I'll be sure to include the bloopers.

A MIxing of the Seasons

Continuing in the vein of procrastination, erm, I mean inspiration, here is my very first outfit post for this blog! I've done weekly wears series before, but I can't really commit to that at the moment, so outfit posts are going to be intermittent for now.

This is what I wore yesterday to work. It was a crazy day- when I left the house it was sunny and warm and for the rest of the day it was pouring on and off. I tell you, west coast weather is bipolar and it's definitely reflected in my seasonally confused outfit- summer dress, scarf and tights. And sunglasses. Yep, it's the fashionable equivalent to socks and sandals. Yuck.
Outfit details:

Faux Ray-Bans: MEC
Jean jacket: thrifted
Infinity scarf: gift
Dress: Mexico marketplace
Belt: thrifted
Tights: American Apparel factory sale
Moccasins: Sitka Skate and Surf


Okay, I'll admit it, I kind of missed outfit posts.

Hullo there

Hullo!
I've had this little corner of internet real estate since the beginning of July and along with the mid-semester cleaning fury I'm doing right now, I thought I'd add my blog to the list of things I'd pick up, dust off, and start using. You may call that procrastination from editing my paper/cleaning my room/going grocery shopping, but I call it inspiration.

It's not my fault inspiration strikes when I should be doing other things.

I was previously sharing a craft blog with a friend that has since gone defunct. One of the main reasons I left this blog to sit so long was because I just couldn't figure out what I could blog about that would be interesting and different enough from the other 189300000 blogs out there that are crafty/fashion-based/foody/lifestyle focused. And then I realized that I would never come up with a gimmick I liked enough and that just blogging and seeing what came out was the best plan of attack. So, here it is, my craft/food/fashion/rant/lifestyle/desgin/book and movie review blog! I can't promise I'll blog everyday, or even every week, but I promise that I will always bring a touch of sparkle.
