SHIRT: XXI SKIRT: Banana Republic SHOES: Dolce Vita PURSE: Urban Outfitters RINGS: vintage; Turquoise Trading Post
It’s been quite a while since my last outfit post! I’ve been busy with work and social events, plus I’ve been feeling somewhat uninspired when it comes to clothing so it’s been a lot of jeans and sweaters out of boredom and laziness.
I rediscovered this...

Watch the 2011 Oscar Nominees Online
For those that don’t know me in real life, my area of study in college was film. It was pretty much the greatest major ever because our homework consisted of watching movies and then writing about them. Once I wrote a paper on Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” (still my favorite film of his) and how voyeurism/the male gaze played a role in both telling the story and solving the...

NYFW Nail Polish | F / W 2011
{photo de WhatIWore}
Caviar nails at Cushnie et Ochs. I also love the multi-colored french manicure, a daring and innovative take on a slightly dated and stale look.

Erin Fetherston F / W 2011
A few of my favorite look from the very ethereal and goddess-like fall/winter Erin Fetherston collection.
The collection include a few black pieces but overall the palette is mostly soft and feminine - lots of pale pinks, dusty rose shades, cremes, neutral tones, etc. It’s very lovely and soft and feminine. Check out the entire collection here.

Jil Stuart Fall / Winter 2011
I’m so excited by Jil Stuart’s color palette - it’s such a departure from the usual dreary winter colors! Punched up reds and crimsons, emerald greens and bright blues, evidently it’s all about the vibrant gemstone colors this fall.
Also quite taken with the sharp colorblocking arrangements where the crimsons and teals can play off each other. I’m also pleased...

Louise Amstrup Spring/Summer 2011
My love of all things intergalactic has been well-documented, from films to books to clothes (hello, I’ve blogged about galaxy leggings and galaxy harem pants way too many times), and I particularly love this galaxy/nebula/star bedecked gown from Louise Amstrup’s spring/summer 2011 season.
Check out more from her collection below.

Snow Day!
I’ve only been out of the house twice today because of the snow and ice that have blanketed Austin since last night. It’s absolutely frigid outside and I’m very tempted to hole up inside for the rest of the evening, but am soldiering on!
Please excuse the lack of make-up/decent clothing/brushed hair in the snow photos, they were taking around 7:45-8:15am this morning after...

Cold Weather Footwear
BOOTS: Steve Madden (seen here) SOCKS: We Love Color LEGGINGS: Zara CARDIGAN: H&M
The temperature hovered around 21 degrees so I wore mid-calf socks under my leggings and another pair (actually thigh highs, worn scrunched down) over the leggings to ensure optimal insulation for my toes.
Also had to wear a long sleeved shirt with a sweater over it, this baggy cardigan picked up during my...

Designed by 3 Portland, OR designers, Nathanial Crissman, Rachel Turk, and John Blasioli, the collection is designed to...

Tea Time
Tonight I went to a special screening of Lena Dunham’s film Tiny Furniture which I had been dying to watch since I first heard of it some months ago. There were some very raw, honest moments that were reminiscent of my post-collegiate period (ongoing?) and that “now what?” malaise that sets once you realize your degree is worthless.
Now it’s time for tea, today’s...
