I'm not doing anything today (I know - lame!) but I did have a fun time Saturday night before Sandy rolled in to ruin it all. I'm safe and I hope your loved ones are too - I'm sending good thoughts! Ken there is showing off his ASSets. Get it? I know you do. I was a steam punk/Victorian girl which practically nobody got Psy? Psy NOT! Bob Ross & Dr. Horrible for the win! I did,...

I'm not sure it would be possible for me to wear any more green than I am right here but damn if I don't want to try. It might be my new favorite color! Coat: ECI New York ~ Dress (worn as shirt): The Limited ~ Skirt: H&M (thrifted) ~ Belt: UO ~ Shoes: Nine West ~ Purse: Eastern Market...

I am terribly packer. I can't seem to go anywhere without bringing everything I own. Or, alternatively, packing light and realizing half way through that I've managed to forget everything important. This time I'm determined to make sure things end differently. Another Trip, Same Tiny Suitcase On a friend's recommendation I've scrolled through both of What a Nerd Would Wear's packing posts. She...

Thanks for braving the cold Natasha! I promise - it was all in the name of art ;). Wanna be your own mime for Halloween? Well MissChievous has a great video tutorial all about it!...

I'm slowly but surely 1) filling holes I see in my closet and, 2) picking up some items on my wish list. Not everything's definite - trying on is a must - but since most of them were pretty cheap I thought I'd share :). 1. Fall/Winter Flats (that have some good support): Me Too 'Kafe' Flat, DSW, $59.95 (w/ $20 off coupon - $39.95) 2. Peplum a.  ASOS Peplum Frill Jacket, ASOS, $36.94...

Can I at least get points for trying?  Top: Ann Taylor Factory ~ Skirt & Belt: Gap ~ Shoes: Restricted (via TJ Maxx)...

You probably won't believe me, but sometimes more information is not your friend. Case in point? My relationship to my body. Now I've worked long and hard to be happy with my size. There have been some bumps along the road, good days and bad days, because that's life. And yet, in spite of my general acceptance of my form and how I look, I'm still haunted by a phrase thrown out by a VH-1 shock jocky...

The implied 'if it kills me' is very applicable here. Also, I promise these jeans are in fact different than my other GAP jeans. They might not look it, but they are. I pinky promise. Top: Old Navy ~ Jeans: Gap ~ Scarf: Zara ~ Shoes: ASOS ...

It's the unspoken rule - you come to my house, I play with your face. 'Pin-up' Liner and Ombre Lip Green and glitter The glitter look was an accident I did on myself this past New Years but I think it works equally well on Natasha - especially with the mauve/nude lip. And you all know I have warm happy thoughts about liner so after her last visit I was ready to give it another go. Hope...

I know blogs are wonderful things full of inspiration and joy but damn. I don't live this life or have this budget but I want. Really want. Stuart Weitzman Capsize, Zappos, $255.99 (on SALE) Coach Willis Bag, Coach, $298 Both of these lusts are from Atlantic-Pacific, a blog that makes me want to live in Zara even though I know nothing would fit me there....

Cardigan: Ann Taylor LOFT ~ Dress: New Look ~ Belt: J.Crew ~ Shoes: Via Spiga (via DSW) (Though since it was quite a bit chillier over the weekend I'm not sure how much more bare leg you'll be seeing!) ...

So this Fall/Winter I'm thinking of picking up some nicer all weather boots. Water proof and warm for the snow which everyone predicts DC will have. I'm a little bit damned by my 'large' calves but I've started looking around.  The Coconuts might be too narrow for my calves but I like the rustic feel, but even though the Two Lips have a better chance of fitting I don't like the darker brown...

All Images from Google I don't think I've said anything about this before but OMYFREAKINGGOD I'm going to Hong Kong. Seriously. Hong Kong. In just under a month. How did that happen?!  I'm visiting a friend from college and can't wait to eat, shop, and generally just play tourist the entire nine days I'm halfway across the world. Check the countdown in the corner friends - I CANNOT...

I know, I know, more Spring than Fall but I love these pieces and couldn't resist! Blazer: Old Navy ~ Dress: Forever21+ ~ Shoes: TJ Maxx ...

I mentioned in one of my previous Dragon*Con posts that I just don't know how the professionals do it. I know they're inspired by the love for the character they're portraying and by the knowledge of how much other people will enjoy the finish product, but making a costume is hard people. Hard, time consuming, and the part I'm going to talk about here, expensive. Him? Who knows how much he spent...
