it’s eat cake!

Oh man, I am so excited about Halloween! I had some grand plans of showing a few easy to do costumes each day, but I ran out of time and didn’t collect the small items that I needed to complete them. I don’t know if it’s the perfectionist in me or if it’s cause I hate explaining who I am, but my Halloween costumes have to be as perfect and accurate as I can get them. I did style a pretty great Lydia Deetz costume for Maya though, so I’ll make sure to post some of those. I plan on being Tank Girl and I must say, I’m pretty excited. I will make sure to post lots of pics after!

As I mentioned the other day, my favorite bar Mayday just had their one year anniversary last week. Coincidentally I had just gotten these sweet faux leather pants from Forever 21 and was dying to wear them so I threw together a little edgy look and went out. Normally I don’t take pictures of my going out outfits because I don’t trust drinkin’ Jessy to not destroy or lose my camera. I also really don’t like taking pictures in my apartment either(bad lighting and no good backgrounds), so a whole part of my style gets lost sometimes. I’m working on making sure they get documented now though. Not to toot my own horn, but I think I wear some pretty great bar outfits. You be the judge!

I was also pretty pumped that one of the Korean shirts that my brother sent me went so well with the pants and the event! It says simply, “It’s eat cake”.

Since I was trying for a bit over the top, I decided to mix silver and gold jewelry and accessories, which I almost never do either.

blowin’ kisses to disinterested bitches

Well, I hope everyone’s week is going as well as mine! I do apologize for the mysterious disappearance last week. Myself and the girls were busy getting stuff ready for our Halloween one year anniversary party we had at Chicken Lays An Egg this Saturday. It was a grand zombie-fied evening, and once I sort through and edit the 400+ pictures that were taken on my camera that night, I will have a great post about it.

Needless to say, I am thrilled to celebrate one of the best years of my life! Our actual anniversary is Halloween day so I still have a bit of celebrating to do. AND one of my favorite bars, Mayday had their one year anniversary last Friday. I guess good things come in pairs. :)

Anyway, this set of pictures is from the awesome drive to the park and around town that Jacob and I took the other day. It was the perfect fall day…

We hit a few different locations and I just snapped as many pretty fall scenes as I could!

Who doesn’t love a good jean jacket day?

My grandma gave me almost the exact same necklace in ivory that my great aunt originally got in India on her travels around the world. Since it’s so fragile I’m don’t wear it for fear of crushing it. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to find a plastic replica to sport.

WHAT: mother of pearl earrings, my gramma

sunglasses, my gramma

all wifey an’ shit

Sorry for the weekend hiatus dear readers, I had both Friday and Saturday off which is a rare treat for me. I did manage to take some great pictures but posting them and writing words that went along with them seemed like too much work for the level of laziness I was maintaining. Anyway, I’m back today!!

The weather here in Cincinnati has been just perfect, cool enough for a jacket but still sunny. I’ve been trying to take advantage of the beautiful mid-range weather by really making every day’s outfit great. I’m not as happy with this one as some of the past few but nonetheless, not too shabs!
