a long, lean backlash to the mini
yesterday was thursday style in the new york times and as usual i didn’t get the opportunity to read it. fortunately sometimes the new york times will post it in their style section on line. this week’s feature is maxi dresses and skirts. and boy are they making a comeback. while the mini is very sexy, it is not always practical. so its refreshing to have an alternative thats...

(wearing: kimchi blue top, ae cardigan, h&m jeans, lucky clogs, marc by marc Jacobs bag)
Rarely do I get out of the house on a weekday night, unless it’s to go to the gym or voss’ to watch chick flicks. Last night the Boyf and I went to the elysian brewery to celebrate a friends birthday.
It was nice to get out of the house and catch up with some friends. Not only was there good food,...

inside gigi guerra's home.
i came across gigi guerra’s, she is the marketing director at madewell, apartment on refinery29’s site the other day. not only is her style effortless so is her home. her home looks as if she put a lot of thought into it and looks inviting. i love modern homes but something about them seems sterile. guerra’s on the other hand looks inviting.
the boyf and i are still...

sorry for the blurry photos, i was having difficulty for some reason. and as usual the boyf was not home from work yet to take a photo for me.

cable car
The cable car is one of my favorite cocktails. simple, just sweet enough yet you can still taste the liquor. the main ingredient in it is spiced rum, which would usually make me stay far far away but the spiciness is what makes the drink.
ingredients:
2 oz spiced rum - i prefer sailor jerry’s
1 oz cointreau
1/2 oz fresh squeeze lemon juice - you could use the stuff that comes in...

cajun chicken sausage lettuce cups
mostly i think bread is overrated. don’t get me wrong i loooooove a good baguette from macrina or la panier. so when the boyf suggest we make lettuce cups i got pretty excited.
they’re super simple to make, cut up some veggies, brown some sausage and throw it in some bibbed lettuce.
ingredients:
1/2 orange bell pepper
1/4 red onion
1/2 a jalapeno
1 green onion
2 large...

an education
i’ve been wanting to see an education since it was in the theater, but never got the chance. really who wants to spend $11 to sit in a room with annoying people and uncomfortable seats?
finally there was no longer a wait for it on netflix and the disc showed up in my mailbox yesterday!
i thought the movie was really good. jenny (played by carey mulligan) wanted to act like an...

good idea, bad idea?
(chanel nail polish in 507 tendresse & urban outfitters nail polish in grey 1)
I’ve never been one to paint my nails, let alone get a mani because of my days working behind an espresso machine. since i’ve moved on, i love painting them.
i was feeling a bit indecisive and a little crazy this afternoon so i decided to do a color on each hand. voss got me the grey color for...

wow.
i don’t usually like to support knock offs. yes sometimes designer things are way over priced, but at the same time i believe they should come with a high price tag. designer items are meant to be sought after and unattainable. Who would like them if anyone could afford it? i know i wouldn’t.
i tend to frown upon those who have knock offs and attempt to pass them off as the...

Today is day 2 of the winter storm we are currently experiencing in Seattle. Its snowing in the passes! I learned my lesson yesterday, and decided to dress warmer. Sadly I was still freezing. I might have to wear knee socks and my wool duffle coat tomorrow.
George and I are currently watching the movie Nine, which...

Miss Erika
This lovely girl is one of my good pals Erika who moved to Berlin about a year ago. She’s always had a style all her own, but I love that her style has done a little bit of growing up and she’s looking more and more European. I must admit I’m a bit jealous.

What I Wore Today 050310
(wearing: club monaco sweater, bdg tank, uo skirt, steve madden flats, bartell drugs tights)
Today was the wrong day to wear a skirt. I froze my butt off today. Seattle has a high wind advisory today and it feels more like February not May.
I mentioned what tights I’m wearing because I swear by one brand of tights and one only. They’re found at Bartell Drugs (our local drug...

What I Wore Today 043010
(wearing: fred perry dress, thrifted belt, we who see heels)
I’m not required to dress in professional attire at work, but sometimes I enjoy dressing up. While this outfit is something I would wear on the weekend, my co-workers kept telling me I looked “so professional” that day.
I’ve had a difficult time finding waist belts that match my clothes, but thanks to Voss...
