Off to Rhode Island in the morning for one very important reason!



And another smaller reason: http://www.newportfolkfest.net/

Going to the ocean, woooo!!!

R.I.

Today was such a perfect first day of a long weekend!! Went to the beach for a couple hours this morning for some quality time with my David Sedaris book, then off to get a manicure and pedicure. No crazy colors this time, not sure why but I wasn't feeling it. Guess I picked colors to make me look tan. I hope it works. I had such crazy dreams last night. I was supposed to share an office with the director of Howard Center and Anna Kelly. Sharing an office meant planning where my desk should go so the director wouldn't be able to see me on facebook. Which is kind of funny because I'm not on it much anymore because it's boring. All people getting engaged and married. Then I met up with my mom for lunch at Healthy Living where I actually got a salad, surprise! Then we went to buy me a tennis racket so we can play against each other. I'm so excited for that!! Then some furniture shopping which wasn't exciting and home to read my TCI manual for training on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I made a list for packing but haven't done it yet... I hate packing. I might just throw stuff in the car and hope for the best.

I just ate 5 Oreos. Now I feel sick.

Almost kickball time!

This is so fun! Not the sunglasses, I hate those. But the great leggings and the jacket!! Saturday afternoon errands around the city for sure. Or maybe to work... I want to touch this jacket, what is she wearing underneath or is that part on her stomach part of the jacket?

Alexander Wang


I like the structure of the chest and waist. I think probably different boots, ones to make more of a statement. At first I didn't think I liked the black but now I do. I would wear this to a quiet intimate French restaurant for an anniversary dinner.

Yohji Yamamoto



Short pants and high neck! And purple is my favorite color.

Celine



I love brown and tan and all shades of those colors. So I love this outfit and how comfortable and chic it looks. The boots going beneath the skirt is great! You don't see any leg so it's kind of a similar function as a pant, but more dressed up in a way. I would wear this to take a walk to grab some Pinkberry.

Salvatore Ferragamo

Twenty more minutessss

Ooo gold and silvery metallics! Posh Spice, this looks exactly like something you would wear. I love form fitting skirts that show off a woman's curves like this. She has a tiny tiny little waist and rounded hips. I think this is just gorgeous and I would wear it to a movie premiere. Although I can't honestly imagine sitting through a movie wearing this... or sitting at all. It's still pretty to look at.

Victoria Beckham


I love the mustard yellow peeking out from under the olive/army green coat. I still haven't latched on to the long skirt business but I think this look is understated (which obviously I'm a fan of) but still says I know what I'm doing. I would love to see Jessi in this outfit, walking to work (although now she's in Chicago, I can only picture her in NYC).

Fendi


Sheer sleeves and a little midriff. Because the dress is long though, I think it can afford to bare a little bit of skin. The outfit as is could be worn out to a fancy dinner in a tropical island but I think I would change the shoes, maybe a platform... or a rounded toe beige pump. Something to dress it up a bit and go to a benefit function.

The Row


WOW look at that red! And that scarf! The scarf reminds me so much of Sully. She has a HUUUUGE black one that rivals this version. I'm imagining this Little Red Riding Hood of 2010 meeting up with friends for a winter picnic in the park, drinking spiced cider and hot chocolate.

Jill Stuart


HERE is the double belt I was talking about!! I like them so high up on the waist. The skirt length is excellent, I would think without the jacket some high powered business executive would wear this. The deep V is too rique for me personally but I love the way it looks. What's with the elbow holes?

Michael Kors

40 more minutesss

This is so beautiful to me - the layers, the belt, the gloves and the red lips but my favorite part is the socks!! The length is perfect. I would wear this to the ballet.

Luisa Beccaria


Although I don't fully embrace the "match everything" trend, I do think this outfit is sleek and effortless. Just a casual Sunday, meeting up with friends for brunch.

Bottega Veneta


Shopping and a lunch date! Love the sheer tights and those shoes!!

Bottega Veneta



This is just fabulous. In my mind it is faux fur. I don't know if that is reality but I choose not to think about it. I can see this lady rocking this outfit in NYC in the middle of winter walking her dog in the West Village.

Burberry Prorsum



I'm trying to embrace more red in my life. It's hard when it's on my head (and face because of my cheeks)but I do accept that redheads can wear red. This is one of those outfits I would wear. I generally like corset/bustiers, I think they are very sexy and can be elegant. I also enjoy the belt... I think it's looped around her waist twice but it's not the first time I've seen the double belt and liked it. I would wear this to a Christmas party.

Nina Ricci

nooo!! i thought i had one more season to watch on demand but i can only save rescue me season 6. what am i going to do now?!

cf

Ha!! I love gay Harry in Mama Mia! And Colin Firth in real life.

purging

Why not make dinner for myself?! i like cooking and i have the time and it's fun!



i also decided after reading an article on about organizing your closet - thrilling, I know - to finally clean it out! the article suggests to take a piece of clothing out of your wardrobe every time you buy something new. and considering all the shopping i have done in the last year, i thought it was time.



so i filled a laundry basket full of clothes i don't want or wear anymore. i also have another shopping bag already in my car. the small bag in front of the laundry basket would be underwear that i am throwing out. i don't have any idea how i accumulated so much underwear, considering that the bag is half my underwear drawer. i wouldn't imagine that my victoria's secret credit card has anything to do with it...

but i feel better! lighter and cleaner. i still have work to do but it's a start.

street lights

these guys definitely make it easier to watch rescue me.




stupid and beautiful.



for as far fetched and out of left field as these couple of episodes were, with sean bursting into song, i actually liked it and cracked up every single time.



manly. yum.



i think it's because of his height and his asshole-ness. but tommy gavin is 100% sex in this show.

i'm actually not sure what i'm going to do when i'm finished with season 6 on netflix. as lauren can attest, i get slightly obsessed with netflix on demand. that's how i've watched the entire seasons of the office, 30 rock, arrested development (i think), weeds and now rescue me. that's a lot of tv without even having our tv hooked up. luckily for me, i've been keeping busy, which also means staying away from rescue me which is hard... especially with those gorgeous men. i know, denis leary right? well, watching the show will make you think he's so hot. such a badass. and an asshole which unfortunately i'm attracted to.

but yesterday i did 10 miles on the bike! and today i did 3 and then sprinted a mile. well, sprinted off and on.... but it still felt good. and then after i met up with jill and we went to wine down at drink which was fabulous. definitely a great new friend! she's just adorable, i love her.

toxic

#1 - I scored the first run of the kickball game today which oddly made me feel great. I am so super proud of myself!!

#2 - KKD is just as delicious as I remembered. I didn't get a rise and shiner because (I'm kind of embarrassed to admit it but I actually really dislike hash browns). So as delicious as an egg, cheese and hash brown sandwich sounds after multiple beverages... it actually doesn't cut it with me.

#3 - I pretty much am in love with my brother's college friends. They are all so fun and easy to get along with, it reminds me completely of my bestests.

#4 - Rachey and I were talking about going to Florida in the beginning of September and I'm getting SUPER excited about it!!!!! Especially because it's been a disgustingly long time since I've seen her. (Ok, I saw her in January but one on one time is different).

#5 - I'm trying so hard NOT to think about number 5, because #5 is really #1, #2, #3, and #4. And # 5, and # 6 and # 7 and # 8.... you get the idea. Basically living with a broken heart is quite hard to do. I'm attempting it but I don't exactly know if I'm succeeding. So many crazy thoughts inside my brain. If I had as much money as I wanted in the world I could at least keep myself totally occupied for as long as necessary. Too bad that's not the case and I have to listen to my thoughts for way longer than I should...

I'm going to try to post photos tomorrow. My friend Rache sent me a blog link that I'm somewhat obsessed with now. Kind of my inspiration even though I can't make dresses or clothes... You'll know what I mean the next time I post but now it's time for bed.

feeling a little unsure about things right now. well, just one thing of course. not on my end though... i'm still completely sure i have made the right decision, but i am getting a weird vibe. definitely could be my crazy brain going off again but it makes me worried. the "i love you" helped a bit. i'll have to wait at least another hour and a half to two hours...blah.

what's a virtue?

I'm working on being more patient. I'm getting pretty impatient with it.

live in the now

one day at a time. live in the now. i have to keep remembering that. do what it takes to make me happy.

R: Gay Sean saw my boobs this morning. I bet I ruined his day :)
L: Ha. Or made it. Maybe you turned him!
R: My boobs are not that fantastic, let's be real.

do i play the game or don't i? i want to call so bad just to talk, but i feel like if i do, i'm pressuring him. although i understand if that's what he thinks because 3 months ago that's what i thought. it's weird, i feel like i'm always making the first move... and by always i mean the past 3 months. it's hard to keep that up.

Game ball

My team voted unofficially that I should get the game ball (which of course we can't actually do, but still)... because I had 2 or 3 outs. Pretty sure it was two but just in case my vodka-infused haze is incorrect, I figured I'd write 3 just in case. Anyway my outs were pretty incredible. Plus I got on base once which was super exciting. Although I am still not a fan of baseball...yes, I know it's kickball but it's the same thing. I think my favorite part of today was before the game when me and Lauren sat on the rocks finishing my vodka and catching the last bit of sun while watching the rain move up the lake. Also after where we went swimming in the grossness that is Lake Champlain to cool off - you know - because I worked so hard in kickball. BUT... check this out!! I actually got injured. Even though I took a photo I haven't taken an up close look. It could be worse than I think but ch-ch-check it out!

Yep!

This article is exactly how I feel! I know a lot of other people like this too... Some people make friends so easily, I'm jealous of them. Copy and paste because my link thing isn't working...

when i clicked new york city on the north america map on astro.com, this was the result i got based on my astrological sign, time and place of birth. I think this means something!!

Jupiter/AC Line

Without any doubt, this line is one of the best and most pleasant places to stay in terms of the global horoscope. You are self-confident, enjoy the trust and faith in others and appear happy and optimistically enthusiastic. You are surrounded by an aura of confidence, freedom and loyalty.

You are generous and open-minded towards others. Your opinion shows tolerance, insight and kindness. New mental flashes abound to broaden your horizon and instill a deeply religious and spiritual belief. Overseas connections are extremely positive, and when planning or undergoing long journeys, you gain from the cosmopolitan atmosphere of these regions.

You will certainly spend a happy and relaxing time at these places. You do need to be careful though that you don't succumb to all the culinary temptations, otherwise a considerable weight gain will hardly be avoidable!

"For you? Anything!"

Flirty Meineke guy made my day ha!

black hole

I don't know if it's the weather or what's going on in my life but I'm feeling very hermit-y. I don't really feel like being social or talking to anyone but I'm trying to force it. Don't know if that's good or bad but that's what I'm doing. Talking to Jenny helped, she is so positive and such a good listener. It was nice. Man I can't wait to not have to take cold showers to stop sweating.

less communication

more thinking

plant murder

this makes me so sad! mostly because i wish i had taken a photo of it before it died at the hands of my evil officemate. also because i was actually good at keeping this little lady alive. obviously my officemate is never to be trusted again with any of my plants. hopefully lauren can make it live. i'm not getting my hopes up though...

Unaware

that I lived in Miami!! Can you see my sweat?! It has not stopped since Friday.
