Creepsters Be Creepin'

worn on November 3rd, 2011

This outfit was created to go with my new DIY hair comb. Ta daaaaaaaaa…

So, I’m used to people staring and being creepy by now. It happens a lot, and I’ve mentioned it before. I get it. A girl standing there, posing, taking her own photos - its weird. But Its more something I expect when I’m taking them in public, not when I’m right in front of my own house. I was out taking these photos, and at the house directly across the street, two women opened their door and stood in their doorway as they stared at me until I finished. Whats worse is that I was directly facing them, so I had to face the awkwardness and see them as I was trying to pose. 

Come on people - just look, look confused and weirded out by the weird girl, and move on. No need to be that creepy.

Have you seen this DIY floating around pinterest? I’ve had it pinned for awhile, and have been dying to make one. I finally got around to it!

Its incredibly simple. All you need is:

*hair comb (you can get a whole pack of them at the drug store)

*embroidery floss

And voila! All I did was wrap the floss around the teeth in a v shape. And then repeat. Its incredibly simple, and only took about 15 minutes. I loved it so much, I made a second one (in wedding colors, of course). 

Come back tomorrow to see it in action. 

Three Little Facts

worn on November 1st, 2011

I seem to be having another one of those days with nothing to say. So instead,  today I will link up to Rebecca’s (of Rebecca with an R) 3 little facts. 

driving: I don’t have a drivers license. I never have, actually. Driving scares the living daylights out of me, and I never made it past my learners permit. Boo seems to think that one day, when we have kids, I will have to get my license. I say - hire a driver. 

high school: I never played any sports as a kid. None. I’m completely uncoordinated. I was, however, a member of Art Alive, an editor of Yearbook Committee, and secretary of my  senior class.  And I played viola in our school orchestra. 

heritage: I’m part Lebanese. But mostly Irish. And also German.

Pizza, Bowling, And The First Snowfall

worn on October 29th, 2011

I loved this outfit. It was so comfy and casual and chill.

Earlier in the day, Boo and I ran a few errands. Nothing exciting, really. And then in the evening, as the snow started to come down, we headed out for pizza and candlepin bowling with some of Boo’s coworkers. A splendid night, ending with a little snowball fight in the street - of course.
