To see what this repeat offender thing is all about - read my first post.

To see the first time I wore this - go here.  

This is one of the outfits, that when I decided to start this series, I knew I wanted to wear again. But after searching, it seems that the old skirt is m.i.a. (oh no!). But thats ok. I switched it out for another full, floral skirt, and it works just as well!

Boo and I had a lot of fun with these photos last weekend. It was a perfectly lazy sunday, the weather was gorgeous, and there were leaves everywhere!

DIY - Magnets

I have another super easy DIY for you. I had some leftover magnets from my Save The Dates (DIY for that soon!). So I thought I would put them to good use.

all you need:

-magnets

-hot glue, or any glue

-buttons, pictures, or any odds and ends

I kept it really simple and dug out some buttons from my mass collection. I also used some of my bows that usually get made into my bow necklaces and hair pins. It only took about 10 minutes, and now we have a pretty fridge!

Three Little Facts, Round 2

worn on November 11th, 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. 

Photobucket

hockey: So, everyone knows by now that I’m a hockey fan. But did you know that I’m in 4 different fantasy leagues? Its an addiction. 

nickname: In high school, my friends called me little seagull. It started when we exchange students in France. All the other hosts family gave my friends huge lunches - 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, multiple snacks. But I would only get a bowl of rice and tomatoes and a little water. So after everyone was done eating, I would go around and pick at all of their leftovers. Like a seagull invading your picnic. 

lost: Speaking of France - while we were in Paris, I got separated from the rest of my class. I was lost in a foreign country. True story.

Sunny Days

Can we just talk about how beautiful the weather was for a few days last week? So beautiful, that I was able to go out in a skirt and no tights, and be completely comfortable. And no jacket/sweater! I thought those days were over for the season, so I’m happy we got to sneak in a few more days.

Repeat Offender : Leopard and Red

worn on November 4th, 2011

Ok, so heres the thing. The other day I was trying to figure out what to wear, and I started to go through some of my usual inspiration that I saved to pinterest. I still wasn’t feeling anything, so I turned to my archive of my own past outfits. It got me thinking - theres some past outfits in there that I really loved, so why have I only worn them once? I’m not going to pretend that I never where the same outfit twice. Because I deeeefinitely do, and I’m sure your do too. But as style bloggers, we rarely blog about it. Sure, we wanna keep it new and interesting. But I’m over it. If it worked once, it will work twice. 

So from now on, if I find myself not knowing what to wear, I am going to use myself as inspiration. I’m starting a new little series here - Repeat Offender. If it works, I’m going to blog about it….. again. 

So here it is - my first repeat. I first wore this outfit back in April. And I chose it as my first for this series, because I actually wear this combo all the time. Its a go-to for me. The red and leopard are classic, and you can never go wrong with that combination.

P.S - its EBEW day! Go check out everyone and their brightly colored legs :)

In My Life : Sabres and Other Things

Things that happened this weekend:

I had one of those days on friday where I pretty much didn’t move off of my spot on the couch. Day - photo editing, coffee, and Grey’s Anatomy reruns. Night - save the dates, sheep slippers, and the Sabres game. Same spot, just different activities. 

I was in a very Sabre-y mood this weekend. At different times I sported both my 80’s bomber jacket and my customized All Stars. 

It was also a build a fort in the living room type of weekend. Completed with wings and buffalo chicken wing dip while we watched yet another Sabres game.
