           I wore this last month to go to a club for my friend’s birthday. Looking back I should have injected more color into the outfit as it was Gay Pride weekend here in Minneapolis and we were at a Gay bar, but I’ve really been into black lately. I also should have worn a short sleeved shirt, It was kinda cold outside so I made a last minute long sleeve shirt decision that I immediately regretted when I went to the second floor of the club and it was sweltering. Your live and you learn I guess. Anyway I wore those heels all night, which is kind of an accomplishment as I’m not much of a heel girl. Those booties  have a very thick heel and are kind of like wearing a wedge so they’re pretty comfortable, my feet did start to hurt towards the end of the night but not too badly. Anyway I’m gonna try and wear more heels, I have a really cute pair I want to wear I just have to figure out where. Anyway the club was packed and we definitely had some interesting run ins. I didn’t dance as much as I wanted to but I did have a really good time.

1. Gabifresh’s striped dress and sneaker wedges.  When sneaker wedges first hit the runway I was skeptical, way skeptical. I like sneakers and am OK with wedges but the look of a sneaker with all the reduced comfort of a wedge didn’t really sound amazing. Then I kept seeing them and when I saw Gabi’s take I kinda fell in love. I’m still not sure I’ll be plunking down the cash to participate in this trend, but It has inspired me to dust off my sneakers and incorporate them into outfits outside of pants.

2. Nicolette Mason’s shoe collection. I’ve followed Nicolette’s blog for a couple years now and love her style. I knew her shoe collection was drool worthy but when I saw all the glittery goodness in one photo I’m even more envious of her awesome shoes. Check out her interview here with Glitter Guide.

3. This fabulous lady’s street style via the ModCloth blog. I saw this image on pinterest and immediately loved it. The cat eye glasses and the mint and polka dots, this lady has some serious style..

4. Star Trek Decor. I’m kind of a trekkie.  I’m not a super serious I speak Klingon and go to star trek conventions one, though I’d totally go to one. But I do like star trek. I’ve watched a lot of the original series and some of next generation. So I kind of love all the star trek paraphernalia I’ve found via pinterest. Most notably this awesome vintage light and these cool pillows.

5. The coolest waffle iron ever. Waffle chair anyone?

6.  This pineapple slicer. I love pineapple but don’t like paying extra for the pre-cut stuff and aren’t a huge fan of carving it manually. So, when i saw this I was kind of in love, I think I need one.

7. JULIA SARR JAMOIS. Her style, her hair, I love it all.

8. Jewelry from Nasty Gal.

9. This collar from ASOS. My mom has a vintage collar that I thought I could wear but it has some stains, tears, and is in need or repair. I will attempt to fix it but in the meantime this collar from ASOS is a close match to it and I’m kind of in love with it.

            Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I got a new to me computer and have not been able to find the disk for my camera’s software and have been a bit lazy to use the other computer to post. But, I will definitely post my new year’s outfit and blog more in the new year.  I haven’t really acquired much fashion-y things lately. I’ve been waiting for after Christmas sales, been trying to save money and haven’t been to many thrift stores. Anyway I figured I’d give an update on the things I’ve recently bought/ received for Christmas.
1. In November after lusting after this Asos dress for a while, I finally caved and bought it as a birthday present to myself. It had been sold out in my size for a while so when it came back in stock, in my size and on a weekend when they had a 20% off coupon code I just couldn’t resist.  It’s sparkly and fun and I’m totally in love with it.
2. If you haven’t noticed I’m going through kind of a Cleopatra phase, which basically means I’m obsessed with statement jewelry and simple solid colored dresses. When I saw this necklace on A Beautiful Mess, it was just too perfect. Very Cleopatra. But, it’s a bit pricey so I asked for it for Christmas and I got it! It’s definitely my favorite gift this year and I’ll be working it into an outfit post soon.
3. As you know my mission this fall was to find knee high boots. While I’m still in search for more lovely boots I finally made a purchase earlier this month. I found these boots on Payless.com while casually surfing and immediately liked the style and price. I haven’t been able to wear them much, the pitfalls of a work uniform, but you’ll definitely be seeing them soon.
4. I finally caved and bought the Nasty Gal draped across dress. I ended up getting it in Melon, which wasn’t my first or second choice but the only color I liked left in my size. I’m still not 100% on the color but it’s pushing me outside of my color comfort zone and it’s growing on me. I do, though, love the cut of the dress and was pleased to find that the deep V doesn’t drape as deeply as shown in the above picture.  It’ll be fabulous in the summer and I’ll try to figure out a way to wear it in the winter as well.
5. This summer I became obsessed with Melody Ehsani Jewelry when browsing the jewelry section on Karmaloop. These earrings were available in the summer but by the time I got any money they were out of stock. Luckily the designer has them for sale on her personal site.  I asked for them (in gold) for christmas and got them. They’re huge but super cool and totally go with my Cleopatra phase, I mean they have king tut on them!

Anyway I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or just a good December 25th. I probably won’t be posting until the New Year so I hope you have a fun New Year’s Eve and I’ll be back January 1st, 2012 with a new outfit post!
