Coated Jeans!

The article of clothing I want most right now: Coated Jeans!

I've looked for an affordable pair, and haven't found much, but I'm still searching. I absolutely love these ones by Sinclair Elon:

I really like these because they have this great spray paint effect, which is very appealing to the eye, plus the fact that the effect is closer to the bottom of the leg gives people a reason to glance at your great new shoes! I would love to rock these sometime soon. 

 You can find them here.

A few others I liked are these one by DL Nineteen Sixty One:

I liked these ones because they have the same sort of fading effect, although these ones have a more gradual color change. 

You can buy them here

And these by Current/Elliot, which I love because of the edgy worn in look, which gives them character while still being classy:

You can find this pair here.

Below is a Polyvore design I made with a pair of awesome python patterned coated jeans, leather and studs. The items I used are below with links.

I just thought these were super cute. I am such a nerd so I thought it would be fitting to put in som nerd glasses with an edgy outfit.

I'm Back Jack!

Sorry about the hiatus on posting guys! School got crazy and there was a death in the family so I had no chance to post whatsoever. But I'm back so hooray!

So, for my first post back, I want to highlight my current fashion fav with one of my picks, the slouchy beanie! I am in love with the oversized beanie look. It's comfortable, casual, but also great if you're having a bad hair day. If you just put one on and peek your bangs out, you'll look great I promise you!

I wore one today and all I did was straighten my hair and put on the beanie! Here's a picture:

Yay!

Some of my favorites that I've found online would have to be from neff. They have a great selection of different styles and colors, plus they say how functional the hat really is in terms of temperature. I absolutely LOVE their daily double beanies, especially this one:

 You can find it here

It's such a pretty color! Anyways, I got a really cheapo one from a hardware store, but I can't wait to order a nice one. Plus I lost the cheapo one already. Whoops.

Hope you guys have a great rest of your day! Adios!

PS: if you're crafty and want to make your own, there are some great patterns over on Ravelry. Check it out here. Have a wonderful day!

Warmth?

Greetings from a pile of blankets and a cup of warm tea.

Our furnace and water heater stopped working last night because our gas isn't coming into the house for some reason. Thus, last night and today are pajama days. The gas company doesn't take calls on sundays, so we can't even call in the problem until tomorrow.

I'm terribly sorry I haven't kept up posting, but school has been crazy this week. I might post something super duper fashionable in a few days, when we get our heat back and I can stand to be in something less than 2 pairs of pajama pants and 4 shirts. OOTD today would be very uninteresting and basically made of fleece.

In hopes you guys are all warm and cozy, I send you a warm fire and hugs. (Be warned that Christmas music will start playing when you open up the page.)

Warm cozyness awaits you when you click this link

BUT IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT

Fiona

I went to the Mall of America earlier today with my sister, Fiona. (She's leaving for her sophomore year of college next week, and I want her to have some decent clothing to wear.) I'll post pics of the awesome boots I got soon.

Okay, here's the thing about Fiona; she's drop dead gorgeous, really skinny, has very nice hips and yet she doesn't seem to care. She seems to think that running around in jeans and unflattering T-shirts with science fiction or gaming references on them is nice. Now, I have nothing against the T-shirt with jeans look, but when it's boxy oversized mens shirts in mostly three colors, (Black, Grey, and Navy) it just seems sad. Fiona is so pretty, but she just doesn't care about what she wears.

Now, I've tried and tried and TRIED to get her to dress like a girl. Every time I make her put on a skirt she looks in the mirror, and looks at me with a "Really? You're seriously making me do this?" face. Yet when I look at her, all I can see is a beautiful girl who hides behind unflattering boys clothing.

Maybe I should just leave her alone, but I really don't want her to keep wearing dark colors, T-shirts that don't make sense to a lot of people, and hiding her beauty. She's so pretty, and I think she should be proud. I'm proud of her. Today she bought three shirts and they were ALL colored, not black or grey. For her, that's progress. My frustration with what she wears has kinda become a joke in our family, but I really do care about her, and want her to feel comfortable, but she just doesn't seem to believe me that some brightly colored clothing is comfortable. And that jewelry can be bigger than small stud earrings or a tiny silver necklace with a half-inch fairy on it. She's so delicate and tiny, but she doesn't want to do anything bold with her clothing. I want the best for her, and this shopping trip was her idea, because she knows I care about her and she trusts my opinion enough to let me drag her to my favorite stores and see if she finds anything she likes.

It was a great time, even if it wasn't as successful as we'd hoped. (One of the hallways had a power outage so one of the stores we had wanted to go to wasn't open) We had good conversation, she finally bought me my birthday present (New ankle boots!) and we spoiled our dinners with Cold Stone Creamery ice cream. Overall, it was a great day. :)

Had Some Fun On Polyvore!

I would love to wear this on my first day!

OOTD 8/15/12

Hey There!

I had an interesting day, where I had a meeting at school, and then I rushed to work. I had to wear something casual for the meeting, but nice enough for work, but also clothes that can get ink on them, because I work at a printmaking center. Crazy, right? 

So, here I am!

I'm wearing my fav grey skinnies (City Streets), a thin athletic-ish green hoodie with 3/4 sleeves rolled to half  (I don't remember where or when I got this one and the tag ripped off so I don't even know the brand...), and my tennis shoes. (Nike) {I got 3 blisters from a bad pair of flats and I can't wear my flip flops to work, so tennis shoes for the win!}

Hope everyone's having a calm and relaxing day! Don't hurry, don't worry, and don't forget to smell the flowers!

That's right, I have decided to show my fashionista side in this blog, because I've kept it hidden for so long. Now, you know you have those days when you just put on what's left over on the floor from last week, (or at least I do... is that bad?!?) but on those days when you want to look all put together... I'll be posting super helpful outfit photos, nail art photos, written posts and whatever else I want to. 'Cuz it's MY blog and I'm HELPFUL.

Sooooo.... Yeah.
