So makeup looks have been pretty rare as of late because honestly I haven't felt inspired to do anything. Maybe this post means I'm finally starting to adjust to the current stress load, but hey - here's one to get us going! Nothing too special but this shape is different for me since it accentuates the roundness of my eyes a bit more than I'd like. Unfortunately there is some bad news, mostly...

1. Disney Princess renditions have been pretty popular around the web lately and in addition to these cool princesses wearing their prince's outfits, a friend sent me a link to ones wearing garb appropriate to when their movie was released (there are more once you click through)! 2.  This Buzzfeed article has been making the rounds but just in case you haven't seen it: "Patrick Stewart And...

It might be Fall but it kinda feels like Spring to me so Easter colors it is! Top & Cardigan: Old Navy ~ Pants: J.Crew (also here) ~ Shoes: Nine West (also here) ~ Necklace & Bracelet: Eastern Market ~ Watch: Michael Kors Oh and if you think these pants look different, they do. I cut the lining out. My 'thighs of steel' burst the seam on one side and it just wasn't worth it to...

Do you hear it? That, my friends, is the sound of the changing seasons. Fall is finally coming to the District and slowly but surely jackets, and layering, will be coming back into my life and onto the blog. Yes! This is my first attempt at styling this dress 'down' for the weekend and I'm pretty happy with the result. I was warm enough with a layer I could take off in the sun and the flats allowed...

So I'm still trying to work this skirt into my wardrobe - what do we think, yay or nay? Top: Ann Taylor Factory ~ Skirt: Asos ~ Belt: Hong Kong ~ Shoes: T.J. Maxx ...

(post idea from the daybook and meet me at mike's) Making: Changes around the house (new bathroom decor!) Cooking: Banana Oatmeal Cookies Drinking: Apple Cider Soda Water & Bacardi Reading: Chimes at Midnight by Seanan McGuire Wanting: A clear direction in life Looking: Out the window next to my desk Playing: My "Happy Music" track list on Grooveshark Wasting: Time Sewing: Nothing Wishing:...

Anybody sick of these recaps yet? Well if you are I have good news - this is the last one! As you've probably guessed by now DragonCon is the home for all sorts of geeky goodness and people are just out there enjoying themselves most of the time. Even when I saw attendees in line telling the line monitor how NOT to move them the atmosphere was serious but not overly antagonistic. I hope you've enjoyed...

How many times does a person need to wear dots & stripes for it to be considered a problem? Hmmm... Top: H&M ~ Pants: Gap ~ Shoes: Nine West (thrifted) ~ Bag: Kate Spade ...

In spite of all the people and the fun costumes (which I'm still not done showing you guys) a big part of why I go to DragonCon are the panels. Since this is a convention run by and for fans the panels are often the best part, the times when you get to hear directly from the actors, actresses, authors, artists, etc. that inspire you. Every year it seems to get a little bit harder to get into every...

Getting back from DragonCon I needed something fun but easy from my closet and this dress definitely fits the bill. Dress: Anthropologie ~ Jacket: Old Navy ~ Shoes: Express ~ Watch: Michael Kors ...

I don't know how anyone gets their pictures up from DragonCon. I always take way WAY too many and then have to spend days picking out which ones are 1) not blurry 2) deserve a little bit of Photoshop to really shine. Still DragonCon is highly likely the best and most favorite thing I will do in a calendar year so I like to show you guys just what makes it so awesome. To try and not overwhelm you...

Awkward - People. Oh god the people. I love mingling with my fellow geeks but DragonCon & the hosting hotels need to step up their badge checking game so that every skybridge doesn't end up backed up forever. - Gang rape by puppets. Yeah - the puppet slam is 18+ for a reason but even I wasn't prepared for that level of WTF*ckery. - More of a personal awkward, but Eliza Dushku was behind/next...

Ever wonder what it is exactly about Dragon*Con that makes it so amazing? Well I hope this collage gives you an idea (at least until I get back home and can post pictures!)... Dragon*Con 2013! by goodredherring on Polyvore...
