OOTD: Casual and Glam

This is an outfit that I wore to wine country that initially involved a much more "fancy" top. But then I felt like it was too much for daytime non-partying, so I swapped in a super casual tee. It's not new, but I the effect was too good in my mind. Love love!

You guys, I have been having some major girl moments lately. Recently every time I see or hear an advertisement for some heartfelt couple or family moment, I tear up. Or something that involves teams. Seriously! All those video chat commercials with a dad on a work trip talking to his kids. Or the Windows 8 commercial focusing on the photo password feature where you see a bunch of family pictures. Shoot, even the fricking Under Armour commercials where athletes train really hard and the tag line "Protect this House" closes it. I mean, what gives?! I'm not on my monthly cycle either! Anyone else have this problem?

OOTD: Motoring Hipsters

I don't think my car has ever made it onto this blog. Close your eyes for a second. What kind of car do you think I have?

Did you get it right?

I have to say I have an unhealthy attachment to my car. I got it right after I graduated from college because i was bound and determined to have a Mini Cooper ever since I saw Italian Job in 2003. Yes, cliche, I know.

I remember being so mad when I moved from Chicago, where NO ONE had my car to San Francisco, where EVERYONE did. All the hipsters ruined my independent personality!

Speaking of hipsters, I guess I must have drank the Kool-Aid -- this is a kinda hipsterish outfit. I even have the polka dot sunglasses! I really love being able to throw a blazer over a casual outfit and sneakers. It's just such a contradictory combination. Bonus points that the flowers on my blazer match my car!

Hope everyone's having a great September!

OOTD: Shades of Green

Here's a quick outfit post that centers around green and floral patterns. I picked up this Mina Dress from Anthro after stalking it for months in hopes that it would go for 75% off. And so it did and I scooped it up! It has neat little cut outs in the back that I plan to take full advantage of during hot summer days when ventilation is required. But we'll save that for another, summery outfit.
