In a galaxy far, far away....

Oh, hi, to all of my 2.5 followers. I did a real good job at abandoning this blog, huh? I wish I could say that fun and exciting things were happening in my life that are keeping me from having any time whatsoever to blog, but that would be a lie.

Work has been picking up and it seems like I am there 100+ hours a week! Do I ever have a day off...cause sometimes it doesn't feel like it.  I had a new roommate move in, and one of my besties is in town for the month and staying with me. Life has been good, but exhausting. 

Sometimes I feel like I just need to get away...to outer space, perhaps? OK. That transition was super lame. My apologies. Anyways, here's a little inspiration storyboard. And I will own some of that Christopher Kane gear someday. Mark my words.

Let's get practical

All I ever really want to wear are really high, crazy heels.  Didya see those Jeffrey Campbell Litas in my pervious post? Case in point.  But let's be real here, I work in retail. Stomping around in platforms for 9 hours a day isn't the smartest idea in the world, so I do need some practical shoes every now and then.  I typically wear boots to work 90% of the time, but the recent warm weather here in Seattle has me considering purchasing some cute flats.  Here are a few pairs I've been lusting over...

Today I couldn't wait to get home from work and play around with putting outfits together with my new shoes and take some photos.  Don't you just love when you purchase something and it magically works with pretty much everything you already own? That's how I feel about these beauts.

It is also sunny and in the mid-60s today, which for us Seattle-ites is pretty much a heat wave.  I saw lots of tank tops, shorts, and sandals walking down the street today.  This is exciting for me because I can finally bust out my shorts and spring dresses (without tights!). I HATE pants and my legs are happy to be free once again!

I am not a photographer. I don't typically take photos of myself.  And I didn't have the luxury of having a photographer take my picture like in some of my previous posts. But what the hell, I know how to use my 10-second timer setting on my camera...how hard can it be? I thought that the little side area of my apartment would be the perfect place to set up my camera, but it seems to be too narrow to really get a full shot of my outfit...hence the awkward poses.  I also didn't notice that graffiti tag behind me, whoops! I guess it adds to the photos? Sure. 

Don't focus on me. Just focus on those B.A. shoes.

Jolly Green Giant

These things came in the mail to brighten my day today.

I can tell you right now that this week is gonna be a rough one.  I gotta de-stress, so please excuse me while I put on my 5 inch Green Velvet Litas and dance around my apartment to my new Zola Jesus records.  

I kind of feel like the Jolly Green Giant or a sexy leprechaun in my new shoes...in the best way possible.   

Sneak Peek...

From the photo shoot in Marysville on Tuesday. Final shots coming soon.

Neon Neverland

For those grey Seattle days.
