another twofer!!

I was really happy to finally get a chance to wear the dress that my magnificent friend Jeni sent me! It’s so light and breezy, I was comfy all day. I’ve been rocking the sheer scarves as hair wraps all the time lately, they’re my new go to for a bad hair day or a need for color. Through some hardcore thrifting I have recently acquired one in just about every color of the rainbow!

I love how much this purse resembles vinyl upholstery from a 1950′s Bel-Air!

Yet again I ended up playing dress up a bit while I was at work. While I was getting in place before the picture, I fell off the step and this is the picture I got. I really like how it came out though!

I did end up bringing the skirt home, but the very cool suede belt is still for sale at Chicken Lays An Egg!

dance yourself clean

OK I have to say right off the bat- if you like dance music you need to check out the new LCD Soundsystem, This Is Happening. Per usual they do the 8 minute song thing a little more than I’d like, but it’s really damn catchy! I’d recommend skipping about 1:30 into the first track “Dance Yrself Clean” for a serious jam.

Also, I updated my links categories on the right- please check out some of the amazing sites I added! Presently the favorites category is all style blogs, including several other Cincinnati style bloggers! The other friends section is mostly compiled of my friends who have cool blogs about other topics. So give ‘em a read!

When I went into work at Chicken Lays An Egg on Wednesday I was just wearing a sweater and jeans due to my hungover state when I woke up. However once I got to the shop I saw this skirt though and knew I had to have it! I trimmed off about 4 inches and have since hemmed it, and luckily I had on the brooch and cute scoop neck under my sweater. So I grabbed a belt from the rack and borrowed a pair of my own shoes to create this! I can’t wait to see what I can do with this skirt once I get to play around with the stuff I have at home. Not too shabs though…
