grandfather clock

I bought this blouse at Savers last week because it reminded me of this one from Madewell and if I do say so myself, it goes fabulously with my BDG Urban Outfitters High-waisted skinny jeans which I cannot seem to take off. These shoes I bought at Kohl's are quickly becoming a favorite of mine too.

This past weekend was spent in good ole Keene, New Hampshire perusing through old records, hitting up some boutiques where I lusted over pretty dresses I could not afford,sipping on coffee in my all time favorite cafe Brewbakers, and then later drinking red wine by the roaring fire, and re-watching The Royal Tennenbaum's for the umpteenth time. It is absolutely frigid outside and we're expecting yet another giant snow storm, so I think I'm just going to hole up and listen to records, which is pretty much my new favorite thing to do. Might as well do it in style.

The new editor-in-chief over at Vogue Paris, Emmanuelle Alt sure knows what she is doing because goddamn this is good.Real good. Flare jeans and t-shirts here I come and seriously hair, can you grow faster please?!?! Oh to be a Parisienne musician/it girl in the 1970's...

Reading The Book of Secrets by Depak Chopra


Watching freaking awesme old school Daria episodes online.

So that in a nutshell is what I have been doing as of late, what about you? What is occupying your time lately?

MFA

Over the weekend Jeramy ventured into Boston to see Fashion Photographer, Richard Avedon's Exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts. A post focused more on Avedon's photography is in the works and I will talk more about that soon. I haven't been to a museum in what seems like ages and I'm so grateful Jeramy suggested the MFA as a date. I'd like to write some more about our brief trip into the city, but since I am still recovering from a bout of food poisoning from a little Indian food joint during our trip, that will have to wait. Until then, I'd like to know: What are some of your favorite museum memories?

Lady Jane

Outfit Details: Lace Blouse, Velvet Skirt, Hat...Thrifted, Tights...Gap, Mary-Janes...Etienne Aigner

I feel as if I am channeling a creepy Victorian porcelain doll in this outfit and I quite love that idea. I snagged my beautiful rust hat at a consignment shop awhile back and my mauve velvet skirt was thrifted the other day for a mere two bucks. Yeah, I love this outfit.

This past weekend was super lazy. Nothing terribly exciting happened. I got Jeramy hooked on Dexter so we mainly lounged around and watched that on the couch. I feel quite rejuvenated to start my week even though last night I dreamed of murderers! What were you guys up to?

twenty eleven resolutions

Outfit details: Cardigan---Delia's, Fox Tee---American Eagle Outfitters, Highwaisted Jeans---Urban Outfitters, Saddle Boots---Bass( Xmas gift from Mom)

With the new year comes some new resolutions. This year I am resolving to do the following:

Handle my finances better: This means no impulse shopping...

Live more organically: I want to be more aware of the impact that I have on myself and the environment around me.

Whip my Etsy Shop into shape: If at some point I want to open up my own Vintage Boutique, I'm going to need proof that I can at some level run a business. I will need to update a whole lot more.

Update more frequently on my blog: I will work more on my photography, gain more direction with my personal style, and get my blog visually where I want it to be.

Spend more time doing the things I love: At least an hour a day with reading, painting, writing more poetry, doing yoga, and being in nature.
.
Explore more: listen to new music, research more designers that I like, seek out new friends and communities.

Stop being so judgemental: This goes for being judgemental with myself as well as others.

Love with all my heart: If I can be open and loving with myself and the ones I love, I can share that love and compassion with everybody around me.

So thats about it for resolutions, I feel that every year I set unattainable goals for myself, but this year, I'm confident that I can handle these ones!

What are some of your resolutions guys?

Out with the old, in with the new

Happy 2011 to you and yours!
This past full year of blogging has been an amazing time in my life. I've grown so much and found an amazing community where I can share my love for fashion. Here's to hoping 2011 is as much of a positive learning experience! To say goodbye to 2010, I gathered a bunch of my favorite photos over the past year to share with you:
