Today's Outfit: Downtown Picnic

Today's Outfit: Accessory Pirate
12.29.11
Excuse me. I need to make an announcement. Jason Le Viere named this outfit and we are all very proud and in awe of his creativity. Phew. That one’s been on my chest for a while. :)
So I’ve been trying to update all day, but tumblr was just like NO, you will not be updating this any time soon. Tumblr deleted it at least three times. :( I guess it is ok because I had to take...

Today's Outfit: Have a Ball!
12.23.11
So I stole the name of the cardigan to use as the name of this outfit. Shhh don’t tell Adam and Jason :) It’s pretty clear my JCrew button up needs some care. It is so wrinkly and gross! Whoops! It’s ok, though, because I was only running errands. Today I am having lunch with Becca, doing homework, and babysitting. And then tomorrow is Christmas Eve! What’s...

Learning from the Past
I hadn’t talked about this a lot on the internet until yesterday. We don’t want my grandmother to accidentally hear about it. Some days she is very aware and coherent, but most she is not. So although we don’t really know if she would understand, I personally do think it would worry her. I feel silly saying this, but I don’t know who all will be reading this post. If...

Is it *really* five days until Christmas? Whoa! I can’t believe it. I really wanted to finish all three papers before Christmas. So far, I have finished exactly 0. :( I desperately need to get on that!
So it was extremely window in the like 10 minute window I tried to take my pictures. I don’t understand where this random wind came from, but I don’t remember it at...

I am about to change up my nails while watching reruns of Friends. I am beat though! This holiday traffic is killing me. Little Eppie and I are ready for bed. See you guys soon. :)

Today's Outfit: 10 days until Christmas?
12.15.11
Ugh! It’s so rainy and gross out today! I am ready to crawl back into my bed and call it a day :) It really doesn’t seem like it’s 10 days until Christmas. I just have not gotten into the Christmas spirit this year. Maybe it’s because we haven’t really had the weather for it. Is anyone else feeling this way? I am still lacking Christmas presents for the...

Today's Adventure: The Antique Mall
12.14.11
We are already half way through the week! Can you believe it? I am babysitting and then have a ton of errands to run! (Including picking up a Dirty Santa gift..shh) Yesterday I accidentally spent TWO HOURS at The Antique Mall. (it’s right before you turn onto 49 from Lincoln) I always want to call it something else, because The Antique Mall is such a vague name. The store is...

12.13.11
Hello!! Today has been a day! I actually had some pretty great adventures at The Antique Mall that I can’t wait to share with you. I got some (not all) of my Christmas shopping done. Although that doesn’t include project time for the gifts that are homemade. I have *really* got to get on that!
I love this dress so so so much! Although I do wish I had taken my pictures...
elllendegenerate asked: Hello, dear. I love your blog. But I was just wondering. We look about the same size, but I was under the impression that, (after browsing through the stores) that I couldn't fit the clothes at J Crew or Anthropologie. What sizes do they go up to, and is it only online or in store? Thank you so much, and you're outlandishly gorgeous :)

Getting Dressed For The Holidays
Last night, I was getting ready for my own party when I realized, getting dressed for a Christmas Party can be one of the most fun and one of the most daunting of holiday tasks. This time of year can make us frazzled. With all the parties, decisions, and family (yikes!) it sometimes feels like we don’t have a moment to relax. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look fabulous! ...

It’s already Friday! I can’t believe it! Love me some weekend. Plus, this weekend is the Downtown Holiday Art Walk! I am so excited. I haven’t missed an art walk this year and don’t plan on starting now. Even as a kid, I always really loved these art walks. In the past, it was something I did with my granddad, but now it has become a tradition among my friends. ...

My hair is so frizzy! I guess it’s from the rain…but it is definitely bothering me. Sometimes when I put too much of my it’s a 10 conditioner (That I only use once a week) it makes it really big and frizzy. Either way, please continue to ignore it. :)
So, I kinda love this outfit! I’ve never really done anything quite like it. It might have looked cool with an...

Well, after all that talking about the muppets movie, I didn’t get to see it. Maybe I can get someone else to go with me next weekend.
There is just something I love about any red/yellow combo in any shade. I don’t know what it is, but that definitely resonates with me. I’m really loving this mustard/orangy red take on the combo! Also…how cute are my tiny...
