Date Drape

window shadow desperado

The pun in the title of this post makes me uncomfortable but I did play in my parents' curtains before heading out on a family date.

And really, where would my life be without inappropriate puns?

This photo represents a recent coup - Orange lip color that is easy, sheer, yet noticeable! Thank you, Revlon Colorburst Lipcolor in Tutti Frutti!


It's curtains for ya!

...And thank you, Mom and Dad, for letting me play in your curtains more than your cat does.

The Hills are Alive

Board?

Snowflakes that make my all my photos seem arsty,


bling it on

Bright copper jewelry on silvery strings,


Don't take offence.

These are a few of my favorite things!

When the frostbites,
When the wind stings,
When I'm feeling fat,


as refer-fence

I simply remember my wonderful blog
And then I don't feel so bad!

Wu Hoo!

I have been per-sueded.

Behold: My purchase from the Jason Wu for Target line.

I bought this little top at the Targe in Florence a few days after the launch. I really would have liked to accompany the incomparable Megan on her Jason Wu big game hunt the day the clothing arrived, but I was stuck in BFE with nothing but a one ton flatbed truck as transportation. I did the world a favor and didn't drive it anywhere.

Her account of the adventure is pretty entertaining, anyways!

In other news, I think my obsession with boots has got to stop. This outfit would have been much better in regular ol' heels, methinks.


I am disappointed in you, for some reason.


Clavicle attack!

A Cure for Melancholia

incredibly clouded and extremely close

I often battle overcast weather with yellow tops and purple skirts.


Can't you just hear Dueling Banjos wafting on the cold breeze?

Despite the melancholy weather, there were chores to do at the farm. So, I grabbed a hoodie, some boots, and of course, a bottle of wine.



I kept the purple suede skirt, though. It goes with everything!

Peaks and Valentines

I wouldn't really give a crap about Valentine's Day except that:

• It's a chance to play dress-up. I try never to pass on those!
• It involves crafting. Handmade Valentines, coming right up! I knew I bought those old National Geographics for a reason...

For his part, my very charming man picked up my tab at Half Price Books as my V-Day gift. Swoon.

Take a Slip

Behold the inside of my boyfriend's shed!

This outfit was cobbled together in honor of the Frivolous Friday slip challenge over at the Fashionoclast.

Tomorrow's challenge is sleep wear. I'm donning a nightgown to work.

Probably.


Ms. Frankie is frankly, not that interested in fashion.

Maxi Driver

Nobody puts Becky in a corner!


I just discovered that I might be obsessed with maxi dresses.

Sometimes, I don't even know I'm obsessed with something until I start to blog about it.
