New Trick

I learned something new this past weekend…. Boo is an amateur hair stylist. Who knew?

I’ve never been able to do my own hair. Never. Sure, I can do a pony, or a simple, loose side braid. But when it comes to all those super cute, intricate hairstyles we all pin so much - I’m at a loss. I understand how to do them, I just can’t execute it on my own head. My solution? Teach Boo how to. And you know what?  It turns out he’s pretty good at it. I wonder what other hairstyle I can trick him into doing for me next.

Lucky Streak

Maybe it was my Irish luck coming out around St. Pattys, but I have had some major luck with online giveaways lately. I’ve won five pairs of shoes. FIVE. Along with a few other things, too. And these Blowfish babies are one of them. I’ve kind of become obsessed with floral print shoes this spring, so they make me pretty happy.

P.S - can we talk about my lack of tights?! First of the season! Out of nowhere, we started to get summer like weather. And its been amazing :)

Wedding Wednesday: Bridesmaids

I’m leaving my bridesmaids shoes and accessories up to them, as long as they stay in my red and yellow (and even a little bit of blue) color range. But obvioulsy I couldn’t help but put together a few ideas myself. What do you think? Do you have any ideas for them?

Black & Blue

worn on December 5th, 2011

There are a handful of shows and movies that, if on TV, I HAVE to watch them. Like Armageddon and Titanic. I guarantee you - if I come across either of those movies in the guide, I won’t bother looking any farther. They suck me in.

Lately, its been Storage Wars. I.Can’t.Look.Away. And there seems to be a marathon on as I’m typing this. So I guess the rest of my day is shot, ha.

New Friends

worn on August 19th, 2011

Well, obviously I can’t get enough of my denim tote. 

I wore this out friday when Boo and I went out with our new friends Haley and Alex. I met Haley at the recent Swap Uncapped, and we got along famously. And then I discovered that her husband is also from Buffalo! So the four of us went out and spent some time around Harvard Square- burgers at Mr. Bartley’s, dessert at Pinkberry, and drinks and a lot of talking outside the Charles Hotel. It was the perfect summer night. And of course I didn’t take any pictures. What kind of blogger am I?

P.S - I wear my shirt half untucked like this because Boo thinks its ridiculous. So obviously I must do it.

That Time It Looked Like I Peed My Pants- But I Didn't

worn on June 3rd, 2011

I wore this out friday evening for dinner date night. Boo and I went to one of our favorite restaurants in Davis Square, where Boo proceeded to spill an entire glass of water all over me. I was soaked. And I sat there feeling like I had peed my pants - not a pleasant feeling.

Happy Travels

worn on April 2nd, 2011

Greetings from good ol’ Chaffee, NY. I’m home for a few days visiting family and what not. I love Buffalo, I really do. But its snowing. SNOWING. Really Buffalo? Thats enough of that. But yeah, I love being home. Family, Tim Hortons, The Buffalo Sabres, and early presents from my parents (even though I’ll also be home for my birthday too) :) So far it has been splendid. 

This is what I wore for my travels Saturday morning. Its pretty simple. But it was early, it was cold, I wasn’t feeling so good, and lets face it - traveling alone isn’t that fun. Easy peasy was the way to go. 

Boo told me to “get excited. You’re going home and going to a Sabres game.” This is what he got out of me:

jacket: Theory via Saks Off Fifth

tee and pants: Gap

scarf: Snoozer Loser

shoes: Blowfish

I Really Love Giraffes

March 15th, 2011

I’ve been kind of off the radar for about the last week. I’ve had the worst cold for what feels like forever. But today I woke up feeling pretty good, and thought today would be the day that I get back outside and take some outfit photos. I, apparently, spoke too soon. As soon as I got outside, the runny nose, watery eyes, coughing - all came flooding back. Oh well, I gave it a shot. Thats why theres not that many photos. Most of them consisted of  ”I am about to sneeze” or “hurry up and snap before my eyes start to water again” faces. 

And this outfit contains a lot less color and a lot more black than I usually choose to wear. But for some reason it felt  appropriate for today. I have some sort of obsession with giraffes. They make me feel better. Speaking of feel better giraffes, I got the best present from Boo the other day - a 6 foot tall giraffe statue. And I thought he was going to bring me a candy bar. 

Oh, and these shoes? I had won them during the 30 for 30 in a giveaway by Louise at Coffee and a Cardigan. Adorable, right?!
