What I Wore…Lugging Around

/ / 10 Comments
Hi there friends…so this is what I typically look like on a Thursday morning. (backpack-baggu; purse-matt & nat; jacket-thrifted via buffalo exchange; dress-keiko lynn via blogger closet raid; shoes-thrifted via cauz for pawz; scarf-homemade by my aunt for x-mas :D) I work from home on Wednesdays so every Thursday morning I’m lugging around extra things back to the office. You might recognize baggu from a guest post I did on ethical backpacks on The Loudmouth. This baggu backpack is totally… View Post

Smile File-Aimee Mullins

love me a good podcast  and one of my most favorite podcasts is The Moth; The Moth is a series of true stories told live without notes. As I was rummaging thru episodes I missed I came across a story told and lived by athlete, actress, advocate and model–Aimee Mullins. I totally found myself crying and laughing as did Mullins while she retold her story. Born without fibula bones Mullins’ legs were amputated from the knee when she was just… View Post

Hi friends! Can you believe we are nearing the end of March?!? I swear I have no idea how this happened. To start this LAST week in March (eep!) here are some reasons I hearted the internet last week. Above-H&M’s conscious red carpet ready collection is delicious.

You know I haven’t done a real true straight up outfit post in a long while and since Spring has officially sprung in NY (actually unofficially sprung quite early this season) I think there is no better time for an outfit post. These pics were taken last week. I got out of work early for a change and it was a balmy 74 degrees in NY at 5:30 in the evening :). This is the face I make with that… View Post

I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”Kurt Vonnegut Hello dear friends, I hope your week has started out bright! Here are some reasons I heart the internet, dearies.

Consciously Trending-Red Blazer

I had been searching and searching for a red blazer since fall! For me the right red blazer can look really sharp and something about it is really classic while being quite bold…and I found a fantastic one! I scored this red blazer at Housing Works for a steal :). My new red friend had shoulder pads (why! oh why!) but I removed the shoulder pads and instantly this blazer had a modern boyfriend fit. Also, please pardon the dark… View Post
