An ode to all the boys I crushed on in high school

 

I have always been attracted to guys that are WAY cooler than I am (BTW Sam is WAY way WAY cooler than I am).  In high school I crushed on the guys that were into Weezer and just really great music.  I was really too shy, and plus this douchey guy I dated was all somewhat friends with some of these people for a short amount of time.  Anyways, this outfit is my tribute to that time in my life where I wished I had the balls to dress like this, but didn't because I was lame (Well I did dress like this kinda..)

Maybe this is because last night I folded my laundry and gawked at the line up to Bonnaroo to Raditude (the latest Weezer album) and danced around in my new glasses...  Oh, yes, these are the new glasses.  I went with a pair of Ray Bans with the rivets on the side.  They are tortise on the inside and then an espresso brown.  I LOVE THEM.

Thanks to my wonderful boyfriend Sam for taking these pictures.  He is so impossibly cool and has the best taste in music.  For real!

F-You Rain, really F-You...

 

 

 

I feel like the entire United States is covered in a giant rain cloud.  The weather is so crappy, I'm totally over it.  Hence the tongue sticking out.  Yesterday's outfit was inspired by how much I didn't want to get out of bed.  I also didn't realize how much I was inspired by Calivintage, but apparently I was, a lot.

I need to confess some things this morning, get some things off my chest. 

1.  I really like wearing jeans

2.  The only thing I like more is not wearing pants at all (but that's private)

3.  I am going to make cheese enchiladas tonight

4.  This whole Conan thing, makes me sad, because it is really sad.  I hope you all take the time to watch these last couple of shows because they are hilarious, and he's a comedic genius in my opinion

On a more serious note, I do want to take just a moment and discuss what is going on in Haiti.  If you believe in the power of prayer, please do it.  If you don't, send money to the Red Cross or another relief agency.  This is such a devastation, words can only begin to describe what is going on there.  Look at pictures, remind yourself daily of what is going on and find a way to get involved.  The Haitians are going to need as much help as they can get. 

Neapolitan Ice Cream...

 

 

 

As I was staring at this outfit in the mirror, I kept thinking that it looked like something.  Then it hit me, neopolitan ice cream.  However, I don't know who would want to eat gray ice cream...  but let's just pretend, okay? 

The weather here in Nashville has been warming up a little bit so I opted to roll up my pants and show off those milky white ankles! I also LOVE these mauve/pink jeans.  They have a great detail on the back pocket (which is why there is a picture of me from the side, because well posting a picture of my butt would be weird... way weird).  Wearing colored jeans can be a huge risk and a little difficult.  I paired these with a subdued color palate and then oomphed the color with a sparkly scarf.  To be honest, these jeans had no hanger appeal.  I was with Sam and he picked them up and encouraged me to try them on because he really liked the color.  I was still only slightly convinced but got them anyways.  Now, I love them.  I love pairing them with neutral colors because it makes me just feel pretty.
