I love this song.





I can't, however, get it out of my head. I think I'll take a cue from St. Augustine of Hippo, who once prayed "Lord, give me chastity and continence, but not yet."

Lord, get this song out of my brain, but don't do it quite yet.

I really hate your ass right now, woman!

Cee-Lo got to sing the full version of Fuck You on the BBC, because the British understand that swearing on the air doesn't actually make your ears melt off. I felt it needed to be included because Cee is featuring a fly pink zoot suit with matching pink diamond earrings that totally match our blog background.

Enjoy it, unless your more XBox than Atari.

I was too lazy to find it, so I'm waiting until it popped into my RSS feed!

Pegging* with Brogues

So, yeah, about those posts...whoops!

Anywho, recently I have been trying to figure out brogues, and how they work into a wardrobe. If you aren't in the know, brogues are the dudely dress type shoes showing up this fall for us womenz to wear. And I really want to wear them! The problem seems to be with what? So below is my attempt to square the circle, so to speak, into a fall weekend look.

So the only way I can see wearing them is if you peg your jeans or are wearing something with a shorter leg. They could work with a skirt or dress too, but I feel it would need to maybe have a certain feminine flare to counter-act the dudely-ness of the shoes.

Marc by Marc Jacobs sweater. Love it, love the sailor inspired looks going on right now. Love. The jeans are 7 For All Mankind, but I think you could just wear a straight leg jean from anywhere.

Brogues from Steve Madden. I cannot take credit for this next idea (I read it in In Style magazine) but I really like the idea of lacing them with a ribbon instead of the regular laces. It would make them a little more interesting, no?

Um, robot necklace which I found at Mod Cloth? Yes, please! Along with a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

Just tie up your hair and hurry out the door to the coffee shop, girl!

I'll probably see you there at the end up September because I will be hunched over a book studying for school...sigh...

*not that kind of pegging, you sicko. I'm talking about your jeans!

Can I just say how much I am digging Robyn's new songs right now? SO MUCH!

...because her music sure beats the depressing/angsty country muzak my coworker is playing right now.

And one more in honor of Doogs birthday!!!

It is Still My Birthday.

And how do I feel?

AWESOME!

It is My Birthday.

I'm 26 on July 26th, so it's my GOLDEN Birthday. Leading up to it, I had as much enthusiasm as Dwight did for Kelly's birthday:

But now that it's here, I'm actually in a great mood about it. I want to invite the whole world over to my house on Thursday to watch Project Runway. Are you free? Do you want to come over?

Anyway, since it's "My Day", I'm going to kick it off with my favorite music video and song of all time!

Fashion Bored

Reality check: I have a very limited budget but an incredible lust for clothing. What is a girl to do? Create ideal outfits all day via the amazing gadget that is the interwebs! Instead of composing in my head, I'm going to post my creations here. Though it's unlikely that I will every be able to afford a lot of the clothes listed (or want to spend the amount required to buy the clothes), I see this as an inspirational project. I'll occasionally post outfits or just things that I am lusting over in hopes that I can get the fine people of the internet to lust with me. Sound like a plan?

Today I present: a work outfit! I don't promise perfection, but hopefully there will be some fun.

Great. Let's begin.




Dear DVF dress, where have you been all my life? I love the zipper and would kill to have you in my closet. Look at the color! Wouldn't you look great with this McQueen Faithful tote and Michael Kors watch? The watch is the only thing I could afford if I saved...sigh. And I really really like the Giles & Brother chevron necklace. Just hoping to bring it together. And no, I don't care that I mixed gold with silver for this outfit. In the words of RZ "metallics are neutrals" and I will do whatever I want with them.

Finally the shoes. I would wear that shit out of those. Not just with this outfit but all the time. Black pants? Give me those shoes. Blazer? Give me those shoes. Pencil skirt. Hand over those damn shoes with the ruffles. Just. Give. Them. To. Me. Now. But seriously, I want that DVF dress too. So badly.

It's a Thing Now: Brooches

I don't mean to turn all Zooey Deschanel on you, but I freaking love brooches. Not in an ironic way, it's more an "all of a sudden, I can't wear cheap jewelery because it hurts my skin" way. I can, however, cheap out on pins and as a bonus have ANOTHER PLACE to wear jewelery.


Total no brainer.

Don't buy it? Check out some of these beauties:

Totally fine with a tee shirt!

If this was a watch, it would be JUST like Mary Poppins. Which is a good thing.
