nerds are hot

And the outfit-ing continues! I should warn you that there's nothing particularly interesting about this outfit, except for the tee shirt which has Barbie on it & reads "Nerds Are Hot". It speaks the truth.


I wore this when I went clothes shopping, so I needed something easy to change in & out of. And also something that would keep me warm in the Minnesota cold - ha! fun. I've been dreaming of summer lately...So this was more cozy and comfort friendly. Anyways.....

So, has anyone been paying much attention to Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week? I usually don't care much about the runway or anything, but a few things caught my eye.


Valentino's S/S 09 line was decent, but I especially loved these two pieces! The cape is awesome - the bunchy hood is gorgeous, as is the dress. For the second piece, I love the gold with the blue. It's just very beautifully structured.






Chanel was pretty disappointing. The above dress caught my eye, but not much else. Usually Chanel is brilliant (plus I can relate to you Coco Chanel's entire life), but not so much this time around....
So sorry for the lame post, I have a couple better ones coming up soon, plus a couple more outfit posts from a while ago.

steamboat willie!

It feels so great to be consistently blogging again - and actually have something to blog about! I've been reading a ton of different blogs recently (if you wanna become link buddies, let me know - I've already listed some of my favourites in the sidebar) & have been so inspired by the bloggers. I also joined Weardrobe (link of my sidebar), which is utterly confusing, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Haha!


As promised, I took a bunch of photos of outfits I've worn over the past month or so, which I wanted to post about. Here is the first post featuring the photos...I'll spread the posts out over this week. For this outfit set, I dragged my puppy into my basement, only to find that he is afraid of the flash. Eh, he's still pretty cute, though. His name is Moses....and he's actually 5 years old, so calling him a puppy is generally an incorrect term.

The above is a mega scary shot, but I've been having fun jumping for photos. I later discovered that I had my hair pulled into pigtails for play practice earlier that day though, so my hair wasn't exactly doing anything epic.
So I should probably talk more about the outfit. I got this Mickey sweater from Fred Flare a few weeks ago. It's so soft and nice! Mickey is doing jazz hands. The only thing that bugs me is that his shoes are white, when they're supposed to be yellow. On the bright side, I have white Doc Martens which coincide quite nicely with Mickey's feet. This sweater is a real conversation piece.

I've been going through an obsession with grey (gray?) recently, so I had to wear grey jeans. I think a mostly grey outfit looks nice and washed out, so that other pieces (like my Docs or Mickey's shorts) can really pop. Then of course I wore my studded belt to the side, because seriously, belt buckles get in the way.

I think Moses really completes this ensemble.

cosmic bowling.

First outfit photo I've taken in so so so long! It felt so weird, but Late Night with Conan was a repeat last night & I needed something to do. I'm wearing my father's blue plaid button down (which I got him for Christmas!), a blue checkered thermal (underneath), a pink skinny belt from H&M, black Docs which I scored at a second hand store for $13, and two pairs of tights - a pink pair & black fishnets with an awesome print.

Here's a better look at the tights. I really love them. And the Docs - not as cool as my white ones, but DMs are DMs so they're all awesome. Wearing Docs just make me feel better. Plus, they actually fit my size 4 feet, which is basically amazing! I was jumping in that photo, but my face expression was ridiculous, so naturally I had to crop that out.

The look is also on my Lookbook (link on right sidebar).

In other news, I got my SSAT scores back. I scored very much above average on reading & verbal, but only on the brink of average for math. How disasppointing. But I'm done with finals & start new classes on Monday, so that's for sure something to look forward too. And the new issue of Nylon finally came and I cannot wait to read that! I'll have more outfit photos soon.
