Boot Campy

Leroy the kitty was helping out with photos this morning. It looks a bit like I ended up dressing for boot camp. These boots are pretty bad ass. I'd seen a couple bloggers wearing them as well as some discussion on tFS and decided to add them to my (already full) Asos shopping cart. Do not regret! Now I just need some perfect, flat ankle boots. Why are they so hard to find?

Apparently I have a 3-day weekend coming up. It's time to take the camera outside. So far I've been limited to my small apartment, and in the winter, the only time I'm home while it's light out is early morning. It's hard to believe or even remember I studied photography in college. I took for granted the free time and access to amazing equipment. I think in a certain way this blog is my small effort to make something. Perhaps everyone should blog to keep track of their thoughts and interests.

Blue Monday

Oof. I've definitely got a case of the Mondays. I could not drag myself out of bed this morning, everything outside of the duvet and the cat curled up next to me felt freezing. I didn't really give myself enough time to take many photos, which seems appropriate enough for Monday. My goal for the rest of the week is to wake up and try to enjoy my mornings instead of the nervous rush that tends to happen. The other goal? Do laundry! I have not done it since November and there is a mountain of it in the corner of my room. How does that even happen? Sometimes it's the simple things that seem the most difficult to accomplish.

And I'm trying not to shop for a little while (ssshhh) but I can't stop thinking about this perfect, simple American Apparel dress and how well it would suit me. I have been making an effort to inject more color into my wardrobe, partly to lighten up the inevitable gloom experienced in January. However, I naturally gravitate to black and gray. WANT.

Whiskey and YSL

It turned out to be a pretty busy weekend. A friend came to town on tour with his band so I got to play a little groupie. Tonight I am getting in some lovely alone time and watching the Golden Globes. I didn't get a chance to photograph any outfits this weekend but I managed to sneak in a little shopping today and am looking forward to showing off the new stuff. Until then, I leave you with some snapshots taken at the band's show (mixed of course with Poladroid which I will never tire of).


Also, how amazing does Kate Winslet look tonight in YSL at the Golden Globes?

Perfection!

At least I can sleep in tomorrow.

Ohhhh my I am a tired lady. I'm actually amazed I managed to get out of bed, get dressed, take some photos, and hop on the train to work. An indulgent night of wine and oysters has repercussions the next day. (Still worth it!) Tonight should be a relaxing night at home with blankets and movies. AND! My huge Asos package arrived at work today and I can't wait to try everything on.

Little animals on my necklace.

So sleeeeepy.

Slick Rick

There was actually a bit of sun coming through the window when I woke up this morning. By the time I got out of the subway there were flurries. Maybe I should Google "vacation sweepstakes" and enter to win every trip I can find. Until something like that happens, at least I have these ridiculous AA disco pants. I feel like I am defying nature wearing them which makes the experience all the more awesomeeeeee. Let the haters hate, my ass is swaddled in a synthetic cozy paradise. (I haven't quite worked up the guts to pair them with anything too outrageous up top though, I'll always dig the mix of masculine + feminine.)

Sunshine, cupcakes, puppies, flowers, fresh air...oh how I long for you all!

I cannot stop watching this video. This is going to be a very long winter if I keep dreaming of Spring so frequently. The charm of the lights, hot cocoa, and chunky scarves has given away to a burning desire to ride my Peugeot around the neighborhood in a sundress and canvas sneakers.

Rain on me.

I went to sleep to the sound of pouring, freezing rain. Upon waking up it was much of the same. Assuming I'll want to crawl directly into bed when I get home from work, I snapped these photos this morning with the tiny bit of dull light coming through my window. I've decided I will save for a new camera, the little one I have is just not cutting it anymore. Oh well, it will have to do for now.

Some rainy day music is in order, don't you think?
