i apologize for the slight nostalgia of these pictures as the quality is absolutely despicable. yet, i loved this outfit and somehow found myself asleep before i could snap more pictures.. oh the joy of pulling "all-nighters" and its effects.. i got these trousers for christmas and love how light and billowy they were. they're definitely layerable which makes them great for all seasons!



i headed over to nordstrom the other day to check out the shoes, but i didn't end up finding anything; although, i did pick up a scarf at 21- that store has the best accessories, like seriously.



(bcbg trousers, l&l shirt, gifted belt, borrowed shoes, vintage vest)

wow, didnt realize how pale i looked in these pictures- the wind tore me up that morning and it was freezingg (don't even ask me why i'm not wearing a jacket because it was a serious regret haha).

contents of my bag

doing this just makes me ask myself- wtf am i carrying around?



what is that mess in my TB? elle january, a bag of eyeliner, a scarf, gum, glasses, a gazillion lipsticks, an umbrella, hairspray, electrical tape (this will show up in a DIY later), a flosser (gross, i apologize for that), wallet full of nothing- im BROKE, some bling, a watch, a compact mirror, my blackberry, shoe insoles, my ipod, 2 pairs of sunnies, tide to go pen- yes, im a klutz)
wow. i feel completely naked and vulnerable now. enjoy this while it lasts.

(sigh) sweet january. you're all aware what this means, right? no? well, let me just express myself in a few words. FUR, MINKS, LAMB, SHEEP, RABBIT, LLAMA.. GORGEOUSNESS!

doesn't quite compare to jane's closet.. but its a work in progress of course









(vintage fur, DIY headband, zco jeans, thrifted boots, express shirt)

and i want to give props to those who are brave enough to shop at ikea- the most overwhelming and overall stressful store EVER. no wonder i went straight to the kitchen section. oh yeah, and picked up mix for sweedish breakfast rolls and sweedish pancakes. are they any good?

happy new years baby.

hope everyone had an amazing 2009! and may everyone have an even more amazing 2010.
my new year's resolution? keep blogging, keep reading, keep learning.. make it to fashion week baby.






my dog looks so sad..





and sweet ashley over at fashion roadkill send me two blogger awards recently. thanks so much sweetgirl for the Beautiful Blogger Award & Glamorous Blog Award. so, i'm going to share some randomness that you didn't already know about me and pass the awards on!

1)i'm a complete nerd. as much as im obsessed with fashion, im equally obsessed with the logistics and number crunching behind the companies. weird, i know.
2)my favorite food is pizza.. but i hate cheese (so, i take it all off). im aware that that's even weirder. haha
3)i'm always so cold that i'm often torn between getting dressed up and going out, or fixing tapas and some cocktails and eating dinner by the fire in my heels.
4)i'm insanely jealous of tavi (style rookie) because she is a fashiongenius. need i say more?
5)i have a baby cow. gosh, i can't even believe i just owned up to that

and i'm passing them on to:
1) le 21ème arrondissement because his photography is amazingg
2) le CHEAP c'est CHIC because her "about me" section is the most amazing piece of literature i have read on a blog thus far
3) mode d'amour because she is SO diligent about posting outfits, and they NEVER dissapoint
4) style bird because her DIY's are the most incredible and creative projects i have EVER seen
5) olsens anonymous .. i just had to include this. im too entirely obsessed with mk&a not to
