I  saw this picture while browsing a copy of British Vogue and fell in love. Lena looks amazing and I instantly fell in love with the color combo of emerald green and that bold pink. Needless to say I’m searching high and low for clothing and accessories in those colors. There will definitely be a outfit inspired by Lena’s in the future.

And I Get Dressed

I’m not generally a big fan of pastels but recently I’ve found myself gravitating toward them. Perhaps it’s all the cold grey winter weather and the fact that pastels seem to emanate spring, Easter, and the onslaught of warmer weather. After seeing a million bloggers and their pastel pink coats I have to admit I’ve caught the pastel fever. But I’m not just gravitating to pastel pink, I’m loving every color in a pastel. I think I like them best paired with neutrals or louder/bold colors especially electric/ neon colors and jewel tones. I don’t have very many pastels in my wardrobe but I’m definitely thinking of adding a few.

3. Kimye style

I never thought Kim Kardashian dressed badly, but since she’s been with Kanye I’ve been seriously drooling over some of her outfits. I like that they’re kind of downtown cool and effortless yet classy and chic. I’m really drawn to some of her monochromatic looks and her use of neutrals. I’ll definitely be pulling inspiration from these looks as well for future outfit posts.

4. Cat’s guide to Taking Care of your human

I know it’s a commercial but it’s pretty hilarious. 

1. Patterned Pants. I have a pair of herringbone pants that I bought in september and have never worn. But this picture has totally inspired me to dust them off and wear them, look out for a similar outfit in an upcoming post.

2. Bomber jacket inspiration. While digging through my closet looking for new year’s eve outfit inspiration I came across a vintage bomber jacket I stole from my mother and promptly forgot. That jacket gave me all kinds of outfit inspiration that, unforunately, will have to wait for the spring. For now here are some ways I plan to rock the jacket in the warmer months.

3. Heather and Dave’s Eclectic Enclave. Although I love looking through all the house tours on Apartment Therapy most of them really aren’t my taste or I just like bits and bobs of them. But Heather and Dave’s eclectic enclave had me drooling with every click of my mouse. I mean It’s gorgeous, I want to steal all of their decorating ideas. Some of my favorites from their home tour are below, but you should obviously go to the article and see all of the decorating goodness that is their home.

I’m obsessed with this wallpaper. One day it or something like it will be a part of my home decor.

Coolest half bath EVER!!! I love the wall covering in the bathroom.

4. Emily’s Couch.  I’ve loved Emily Henderson since she won Design Star season 5. But, it wasn’t until recently that I became obsessed with her blog. While going through her blog I found something that looked very familiar. I’m pretty sure Emily and I have the same couch, though her’s is reupholstered and probably in better condition, but she paid $900.00 and mine was a whapping $30.00. Anyway her living room as a whole is pretty awesome and it’s always fun to see your couch, especially in a designer’s home.

5. Give me a Hand Chair. I really really want a 70’s hand chair, seriously guys. I love the kitsch and those hand chairs are just everything to me. I know I could probably get one at a cheap/tacky furniture store but I’m thinking I’ll come across one when the time is right. Until then I’m just kind of obsessed with pictures like these:

7. Golden Globes Faves.  I don’t usually do awards show roundups and I don’t know if I ever really will, but there were some truly gorgeous gowns at the golden globes. so here are my faves.

I know some people hated this dress but I’m obsessed with it, it was my favorite of the night.

This dress was a close second for my favorite of the night.

J.Lo looked good but this is just standard JLo fare in my opinion. Pretty but kinda boring.

8. Girls. I hated on Girls all last year, refusing to watch the show. A show that showcased my own underemployment just seemed less escapist and more a reminder of my less than stellar employment status. But a year later with so much Girls talk and season 2 looming I figured I’d bite the bullet and watch the first season on HBO go. OK I have to admit I actually like the show. It can be a little irritating, but I have to admit I’m kind of a fan now.

9.  Lady Mary Marries.  I’m know I’m not the only one glad lady Mary and Matthew finally married. If Downton had tried to drag that relationship out anymore I might of had to cut a bitch.

10. Cat Friend/ Dog Friend. Ok so this video is kind of old but it’s just too funny not to post. My cat diamond is almost exactly like cat friend and it kills me every time. My favorite part is when cat friend give that guy the finger, my cat would totally do that if she were human.

2. Noisettes Album, Contact. I discovered the Noisettes a couple years ago when I saw their music video whilst flipping channels. I immediately went to their website and saw that they had a free concert in my area a couple weeks away and went. It was pretty sweet. Anyway they released their 3rd album last week and i’ve been listening to it all week. Here’s one my favorite songs from the album, so far.

Photo I took at the Noisettes concert circa 2009

3. Rachel Berry Style.  If you read my liebster award thing you’ll know i’m not really a glee fan. I don’t dislike glee I just don’t really care for it. But I have found, whilst trying to get into it a few years ago, that I do ocassionally like Rachel Berry’s style. I was watching it once and she even wore a dress I was semi-obsessed with at the time. It was actually a good thing as I found out I didn’t really like the dress. Anyway I came across this picture of Lea Michele on set as Rachel and am pretty sure i’m gonna have to re-create this outfit this fall. I love the patterned tights with the boots and simple skirt and top.

4. Frank Ocean. I’d been hearing about Frank Ocean for awhile before I actually heard any of his music. It wasn’t until last month when one of his songs came on the radio that I finally heard one of his songs.  I liked the song and bought his album and am now super into him. Here’s one of my favorites from the album.

5.  Leather pant inspiration. I’m not really one for obsessing over celebrity style, though I do page through gossip magazines while on break at work and am a faithful Fashion police watcher, generally I find fashion bloggers and other things to be more inspiring. But recently i’ve come across a few celeb style photos that have been a bit inspiring. Below are a few of my favorites that incorporate my favorite fall obsession, leather. Here are a few leather pant celeb style photos i’ve found especially inspiring. Also I finally figured out why Kim and Kanye are always matching, she let his stylist completely overhaul her closet. Twinsies.

6. Doctor Who. I know I know Doctor who’s been a thing for awhile, but I just recenlty started watching it on Netflix and am now kind of into it. I was at a going away party for one of my friends and people there were talking about Doctor who so I figured i’d watch a few episodes to see what the hubub was all about.  So far my favorite episodes are the one with the little boy and the gas mask, the first episode with the cybermen and the blink one. I haven’t caught up with the current season, I’m on season 5,  so don’t give me any spoilers that I likely won’t get. I have to admit that though I find them kind of irritating and silly one of my favorite characters on the show are the Daleks. They’re ridiculous because they’re supposed to be super scary but have a plunger and egg beater for hands, I mean come on.  I’m pretty sure they kept the same look from the original series and thus look dated and not very intimidating. But I love them because of all their cheese and  their love of yelling EXTERMINATE!!! Whenever they’re on an episode I kind of want to yell exterminate at random people. Although the fact that they keep coming back is getting old.

7.  Gangnam Style. I saw this posted a few weeks ago and i’m kind of obsessed with this video. It’s just hilarious and everytime  I watch it I want to master his sweet dance moves. My favorite part is the random bit when he’s in the elevator with the guy in the cowboy hat who’s giving some serious pelvic thrusts. I guess Gangnam is a rich part of Seoul and the video and song are a satire of the people there. There’s more detailed info on the web if you’re really interested, for now just enjoy the video.

8. Labor Day sales. So I may have spent a tad too much money during labor day sales, maybe just a touch. But my rule for buying new clothes is I should only buy them when they’re on sale or there’s some kind of discount. This doesn’t always work but it’s a rule I try to follow. So I knew labor day would have some good sales and both of the places that had clothes I was drooling over had 20% off codes so I bought a few things… I’ll post what I bought when they come in. I may also need another shopping ban as I feel like I spent a little too much money. But I did get some things I needed like new shoes for work (which I desperately needed) and some clothes that I could wear to work as well.

9. Thrift Shop. This video/song is hilarious. I may have immediately downloaded the song on itunes after hearing it, maybe. With all the rap songs about designer labels and how expensive their clothes are it’s hilarious and refreshing to see someone rap about the thrift store and your grandpa’s dope gear. lol.

10. Tea with lemon and honey. My labor day, the unofficial end of summer here in the USA, sucked mostly thanks to a sweet head cold that decided to rear it’s ugly head Monday. Apparently my body decided the last day of summer was a great time to clog my nose and give me the worst head cold I’ve had pretty much ever. Not only could I not breathe through my nose but I also had a headache and sore throat. Ugh. Anyway tea with honey and lemon was my savior as my throat was killing me when I woke up that day. 5 days later I still can’t really breathe through my nose and still have a cough. This cold just doesn’t want to die!! ugh!
