OneTwoThreeFour.

There has been an overabundance of good news the last couple of days; I'm moving home! My computer is back! I found the perfect black boots today (thrifted)! I can hear fiest from the other room!

Okay -- so, first of all since ichat is always a real pain in my ass no one has been able to see my new hair-cut. Since my macbook is back I will provide you with photobooth pictures.


In other, more depressing news, I lost all of my music when my hard drive crashed. So, if you have been listening to something great lately tell me about it? I have to re-download everything -- so give me suggestions.

Babies Dressed as Ladybugs.

Okay. After last nights very, very intense episode of project runway I have a couple of things to say
1) I, honestly, think Kenley should have been voted off before Joe. This is my honest truth. I feel like Kenley has a lot of talent, but just like everyone on the show says, for making 40's and 50's inspired dresses. And I love that style of dress, but let's be versatile.
2)LeAnne is a bad bitch, and I love everything she does.

Un-Employed.

So, after a beautiful (twenty hour) return to Chicago -- I am back.  Anyway, before I left I went thrifting with my granny and it was wonderful. Then the next day I went to an auction with my mom and got three vintage tins filled with vintage buttons and clip-on earring, plus two vintage hats and a pair of glasses. It was a successful venture.



So, I managed to snag all of these purses for 0.50 cents. I haven't taken off the leather patchwork one since I got it -- we were meant to be together.
I don't know why the focus is so bad in this picture? Anyway -- vintage clip-on earring turned broach for my interview with lush.
This is the whole interview outfit -- why is my mirror so dirty? Anyway, that's a sheer nightgown I cut down into a dress (!!!) the top is lace flowers; I am in love with this. It is truly perfect. 
Other thrifting loot? A black high waisted pencil skirt (0.50) two belts (0.50) the perfect fanny-pack (0.50) and A VINTAGE TYPE WRITER IN IT'S CASE (5.00). Honestly, that type writer was my huge find -- I am so excited about it. I guess that's my prompt to start writing people letters again.

Good Night, Good Luck

Four days in. 

On Monday I went to the community college that I'm taking classes at this semester to pick up books -- my outfit was pretty standard -- jean shorts, those opaque grey american apparel tights that everyone has, a white v-neck, a sweater, and my Cole Haan's. Damn standard.

I'm going to set this up for you; the college is located directly in the middle of four large corn fields and all the buildings are the same brick and all have large white roofs, the only building that doesn't look like this is the bookstore because it's actually an old garage. So, I go in and have to get a student i.d. made this ends up looking like an old Courtney Love mugshot (circa Hole) and then have to print off my book list, but forget how to log onto the online learning portal so they send me to the library. The guy in the baseball cap makes it sound sooooo easy, "It's the brick building with the roof that looks like a circus tent, you can't miss it." Yes. You can. 
After walking around for fifteen minutes I finally ask a boy in wranglers and a cowboy hat where the library is -- he points to the building right behind me. I walk into the library with my expensive tail between my legs and run right into the most beautiful boy in buffalo plaid, and didn't even talk to him. 

In other news: FASHION WEEK.

How fierce was Marc Jacobs rtw?




So. Much. Class.
