i ain't got no fight in me

It's been about two years since I first left home and moved to Italy for four months. I'm kind of in the reminiscing mood and was going through all my old pictures. It's funny to see how much of me has changed and how much has stayed the same. Definitely had some questionable fashion choices in the mix including a pair of yellow moccassins I had to have from one of the few vintage stores along the Arno. It cracks me up. I love the two pictures above. My old friend and I climbed over a bridge to overlook the water. People would climb it to watch the sunset and drink wine. I'm too clumsy to drink wine and climb. The pictures seem so long ago yet also like it was yesterday at the same time. I even know what's in that blue bag after I had a little shopping spree that day. I bought a Missoni scarf for my mom since she loved my hot pink and blue one and managed to find her a black and white one. Love Missoni scarves. Hmm love those days.

Ugh and seriously miss Paris as well when I went there for a weekend with the bff. Can't wait till I'll be able to go back to there hopefully in warmer weather.

Again thank you all for supporting my fan page. I'm almost at 200 fans. =) Hope everyone had a good weekend. I definitely did. It included booze, random boys and aerial dancers. Success. I opted for comfort as usual and wore a Nirvana tee with my Dana Buchman blazer and f21 necklace (and wore my hair up for once which I never do). Er wore a sick top from Urban. See through lace..mmm. I swear we had other friends out with us (including my sister) but we are what we call "wanderers". We tend to migrate (hence random boys).

skies they blink at me, i see a storm bubbling from the sea

I'm so crazy about these photos from Adam Kimmel's Fall/Winter (source of photos: Jak and Jill). They're the perfect amount of freak and creepy and anything that strays from normal is perfect in my eyes. I may have nightmares from the masks but so worth it. And thank you all so much for your support about the fanpage. It means a lot to me. Fan number keeps growing...so keep it up. Happy weekend everyone! Nyc is expecting a snow storm. I hope not, don't want to be stuck in all wknd. Also just saw Dear John. I read the book earlier in the week & absolutely hated the female character (and ending). The movie changed the ending which I can't decide if it's better than the books. Overall conclusion of the movie/book: 1) Channing Tatum is hot and surprising very good in the role 2) Nicholas Sparks...kinda a dud. But I'm a sap so yeah I cried at one part during the movie.

b'squared

Tuesday I made a fan page for the pr firm I work for. It's a joke between us there calling me "social media guru" since I follow a ton of blogs and what not. So while we still work on my position title..guru it is. Anyway, I thought I'd link you guys to our fan page that I've been working pretty hard on. You can see what it is exactly we do and all of our clients. I had a goal yesterday that our first official day public on facebook, we could get 100 followers by the end of the day...and I'm stoked to say we did! So please become a fan of b'squared & friend me if you'd like! The website of our clients are posted and I'm telling you, you will definitely be sure to fall in love with some amazing jewelry and handbags. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it!

i think you could save my life

Went to a rooftop bar last night and probably shouldn't have considering my urge to sneeze is so bad right now. I swear my face is going to be a permanent sneezing expression. I opted for comfort last night since it was freezing and am still sick. Wore an H&M white see through long sleeves top paired with the H&M black joggers from the last post. And topped it off with my f21 necklace. While all these chicks were freezing in itty bitty dresses (like come on now it was 15 degrees out) I was comfy and really liked the whole look of the outfit. Oh and I got bored before doing my makeup and put on some fake tattoos. You can kinda see one little flower on my middle finger. Also put a star on my hand. So lame but it satisfies my desire to have a real one one day. I want some sort of text yet no idea what so fake it is for now. Plus the rents may murder me but it's way more fun being bad.

in the morning i'll be with you

So a normal person, when sick, would be cuddled in bed watching re-runs of the OC. But I'm anything but normal. I decided to run to the mall. And even though I definitely ended up breaking a fever there because I was sweating hardcore by the time I left, I'm glad I went. After several unsuccessful trips I finally got some damn good pieces. An H&M oversized blazer, as well as oversized grey sweater. (Like I'd wear anything fitted.) Also a pair of H&M sweats that are tight at the bottom and I plan to roll them up and go for that whole "joggers" look with chunky heels (and pair them with a blazer as well). The whole wearing joggers as regular pants this season will definitely be all over FW. And I recently saw another blogger put the look together and fell in love. Oh and I got sick velvet leggings from f21. They're a size bigger than I'd normally go for leggings but I couldn't pass 'em up. Plus a huge chunky necklace from their that I saw on their website. It's look vintage in person which obviously I dig.

Hopefully I didn't kill my immune system even more by shopping while I'm sick. I get the point with my drippy nose..I'll stay in bed. For now.

now i'm free from all the things that saved my friends

Damn there ain't nothing hotter than a man who can swoon with his guitar. (Or any instrument for that matter...mm caleb and rp.) I'd take a guy in a hoodie and ripped jeans and dirty kicks over a stuffy suit anyday. It's nice to that a man can put himself together every now and then but I much prefer a more laid back style. Everyone has their tastes (and their weaknesses). Mine just happen to be long hair (use your imagination) and facial hair. A little scruff never hurt no one.

Just had to add this pic of some besties (marl, me & er) to give a major shoutout that "best friends share and let friends..." That is all ;) Wild.

And if you're curious this pic is from sat night. I went completely casual in a men's ginormous AA grey vneck and ripped f21 jeans. Plus my trusty leather from Florence.

i was uncool before it was cool to be uncool

Got myself a new pair of boots. Been searching for the perfect pair of combat boots and ordered myself these babies from Steve Madden. They're listed as black but totally look more of a distressed brown and I love them. Whether folding them over or just leaving them straight up, they're the perfect amount of cool. Also chopped my hair. It's still below my shoulder but definitely a major change for me. Tons of choppy layers which gives my hair so much more fullness and volume. My hair girl went crazy with the curling iron yesterday and I left the salon totally kstew style from the last post. Let's just say I'm pleased. Oh and rediscovering my skull ring (top pic). It was so cheap and is tarnishing but that makes me love it more.
