Have You Seen My Baseball?

What a great movie that was, seriously. Magda was always my very favorite character with her hot pink lipstick and fabulous tan. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but whenever I hear the word baseball, I immediately think of sweet Warren and not the Texas Rangers. Anywho, I've really turned into a beanie type of gal this year. I've always loved a good hat, but have never been one to sport a beanie. Maybe it's the fact that my ears will fall off in this weather without one, but I am totally diggin' the look lately. I have also been patiently waiting for a good pair of faux leather pants to come across my path and these were just what I needed. I have big legs and a big bootie, and I like to sit with my legs curled up underneath me at all times. These are characteristics that just don't take kindly to leather pants. I don't think I could invest in a real pair because they would stretch out like my leather pencil skirt and that would be a death sentence, friends. These are leather on the front and business in the back, kind of like a reverse mullet.

An Obituary

It's the end of an era. My most beloved Miley Cyrus denim shirt from Walmart has finally kicked the bucket. She's been accidentally bleached, shrunken, and left out in the rain. She's been used and abused, and she finally gave up on me. All of the buttons have fallen off and there is a huge rip straight down the back. I feel so sad...

Do you have a denim shirt that you absolutely love? The perfect weight, color, and texture? Please share. And while you do, I'll be scouring eBay for a replacement.

Wild One

I was totally stoked when J.Crew Factory came out with a dress in the wildcat print. I missed it at retail and kicked myself for not making the purchase when I could. I had this exact outfit in mind: print dress, tartan plaid button down underneath. The shirt that I had in mind was nowhere to be found, but I found this men's extra small hanging out all by it's lonesome on the sale rack. $15, don't mind if I do.

I do this rather often... Get an outfit idea stuck in my head only to get frustrated because I can't find the exact pieces I want. I actually woke up this morning with an outfit idea, but, thank goodness, I have all three pieces. Guess you'll be seeing that soon!

Also, a shout out to my best friend, whose psychoses and neuroses got me this bag for my birthday. This crazy B had overheard me saying that I had missed the boat on the Eat Cake for Breakfast bag and wished that I would have bought one. She called each and every Kate Spade boutique in the country, even after the first twelve told her there were no bags left in the computer, and her last call found this puppy somewhere in the wild blue yonder. That is dedication, folks.

I also wanted to mention how much you guys mean to me. I've had an outpouring of emails, comments, questions, etc. in the past couple weeks and am definitely feeling the love. It certainly keeps me going creatively and emotionally, because, those of us who blog know how emotional it can be. It's like having a second relationship (if you are in one), or a high maintenance boyfriend, but it's totally worth it.
