Speaking of etsy shops, I have FINALLY been slowly updating mine. I've been trying to work with the intense daylight in our place, and configure my photographs in a different format, so some of the pictures may look wonky/different compared to before. I'm working on getting as much of it uniform looking again. But, YEAH, new stuff (and some markdowns, too)!
You guys are right. A bench is the best idea for our entryway. I was actually going to skip the whole hook idea, seeing as we have an entryway closet... but considering I can only manage to successfully store my bag in it about 25% of the time, methinks hooks with a high shelf is going to be the ultimate winner.
I can't decide if clogs are going to be my go-to Fall shoe, or if I should just stick to my old standby, Minnetonkas.
Remember my search for the perfect jeans? Well, a few weeks ago, I decided I was OVER skinny jeans. They're everywhere. EVERYWHERE. They're on 60 year old women in Oakland, and I just need a serious break from them. So I ordered these, and HOT DAMN, they are fantastic (P.S. They are MUCH darker in person).
From 60 year old women to the massive amounts of grey hairs on my head. It's gotten out of control, guys. I know I said that I look forward to going grey, but I'm a hop, skip, and a jump away from turning 33... not exactly looking to be the first to cross the finish line, if you know what I mean. I'm thinking of changing things up a bit to, maybe, reddish. I'm pretty scared about it. Knowing me, I probably will actually be 60 before I decide.
Cheech's newest word is "no". In true Cheech form, she YELLS it ALL the time.
She's also recently learned "go", and tends to accidentally interchange the two from time to time. Obviously, this can cause great confusion.
There are three new bagel shops in Oakland. Are bagels the new cupcake? OH GOD, I hope so.
My only hesitation with ordering this sweatshirt, is that I'll somehow justify wearing it every single day.
And finally, have you seen this? If you're looking for a photographer, HIRE HER, guys. Not only because she's my friend and I love her to reese's pieces, but because she is insanely talented... as I'm sure you can see. And I'm not the kind to just hand out compliments either.
Have a super rad weekend, everyone!

holy ballz, i LOVE that sweatshirt. please, please buy it! surely you need a sweatshirt in oakland. if austin were cooler, i'd wear the gangnam out of it.
ReplyDeleteI would be afraid it would infect my inner most being and I would end up gangnam stylin' in everywhere.
DeleteWorth it? Totally.
dude. you read my mind! i'm teetering inbetwixt my 15+ pairs of minnies & the clogs i don't own yet too. and the shoe decision precedes my jeans decision- i'm over skinnies... so imaginary clogs=flares & mocs=boyfriend/boot. i've got to shit or get off the pot soon because in 5 days i'm traveling from the land of 90+ degrees to real.fall.weather.
ReplyDeletealso, i've gone back and forth over that leather & fur chevron coat a million times. i wish i lived somewhere colder.
Doughnuts were the new cupcake, CELIA. And PIE is the new doughnut.
ReplyDeletebut doughnuts/donuts/however the fuck you spell it never really skyrocketed. and YOU KNOW donuts always have been, and always will be #1 in my heart. no pie happening here, really. i'm assuming pie's the thing in ny? if i don't get to see you this october, i will strangle joe if we don't then plan a trip in the spring. :l
DeleteCan you pretty please share your favorite clog sources? I'm 26 year old caterer, so I know bunions and back problems come with the territory but I'm trying to keep them at bay for as long as possible. I've got my basic danskos for work, but have been looking for something more fashionable for every day life.
ReplyDeletewhen i cooked, i primarily wore these, and they were AWESOME. i found that they were more comfortable than danskos when i was working crazy long hours. dansko does actually make some cute clogs that if styled correctly, are just as good as a lot of the trendier more expensive brands, imho. i have a pair that's similar to these, and i super big heart them. i've been eyeing these as well.
Deletefavorited the etsy shop, minnetonkas forever (I just don't think I'll ever be able to justify a clog. ever.), and I say go for the sweatshirt. I live in this and get more compliments than any of my favorite dresses
ReplyDeletei have the worst back. THE WORST. when i'm not having back problems, i can wear any shoe, but when i am, clogs are the ONLY shoe i can wear comfortably. so... i've grown to like them. it did take me time, though.
Deleteoh, man. pretty sure i need TWO sweatshirts now.
Gosh, and I remember when skinnies took some serious scouring to score. That feels like 17 minutes ago.
ReplyDeleteDitto, Celia, very much over them - too much in love with exactly the same style of jeans you bought. And, I decided that I'm going to start wearing their equivalent in pants. Like, real trousers: 'grown-up-adult-has-shit-put-together' style, I've been obsessed with the lady on the Kinfolk cover's cropped grey pants: http://media.photobucket.com/image/recent/jcomingore/kinfolk-vol-4-5.png ).
Besides, it's WAY easier to find petite/short sizes in real pants. :)
I'm really enjoying my Baggu backpack! It's a good size and I enjoy the smaller straps since I already have a heavy duty backpack for longer adventures, etc.
ReplyDeleteSo cute about Cheech yelling no! & go! (^_^)
i generally try to avoid the Gap, but those jeans look excellent.
ReplyDeleteholy schmoly those jeans are available at www.gap.eu for 19 euros in my size!!!! I'm buying them now!
ReplyDeleteTattoos have become a common trend in the modern world. Tattoo needles and tubes has become a fashion not only among the celebrities and stars but even among their fans. We see the influence of tattoos more common among the younger generations. Tattoos are in great demand and this art has become a profitable activity. A good artist has a high potential to start a career out of making tattoos.
ReplyDeleteLooking for ankle boots on sale? You are definitely not alone. This style of boot is a hot trend this fall, and Guess hit a great balance between the leading edge of fashion and a well made, long lasting designer snow boots.
