Marvelous Monday!

Love these photos of mirrored wedge boots by Carin Wester, at Outsapop Trashion. I’m thinking…Alice + Olivia for Payless boots – sweater cuff + hot glue + broken mirror = droolworthy awesomeness. Will let you know how this plan works out, if I follow through! Kristen over at Idiosyncratic Style has some Pearls of Wisdom…

Tattoo Etiquette Part 2

Remember my first post on tattoo etiquette? Well, I’m back with another one, this time covering things that a first-time tattoo-ee (erm. recipient of a tattoo?) should know! To start, try searching for local tattoo shops on Yelp, if your residence is in a big enough city. That should immediately help you weed out the…

Fluff Bags & Accessories

When we were at Atomic City a few weeks ago, looking at the half off sale, I noticed a laptop bag hanging down from the ceiling. I’ve been in the market for a cute new one, and this one was adorable! Unfortunately, I wasn’t for sure it would fit my laptop, and sale items were…

Daily Outfit 9/7/09

Like I said, we went to the Botanical Gardens today. So I tried to pick something out that was semi-practical: The practical comes in because I wore these boots instead of my heeled Bronx ones. It was still a little impractical because, you know, it was 95 degrees outside, but hey! Secondhand necklace, Fluevog engineer…

Marvelous Monday!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Labor Day weekend! Matt’s got the day off, so we’re going to do some minor errand running, probably go have a look at the Zilker Botanical Garden and maybe hit a few of the museums on campus at UT. Yay for free entertainment! On to the list: I…

For those who’ve been given the dreaded “business casual” to work with, it can be awful. When I worked in a business casual environment,…

Links a la Mode

Tattoo Etiquette: A Public Service Announcement

Thankfully, this post wasn’t spurred by comments towards me – not recent ones, anyways. I got my fair share living in small-town Missouri, but tattooed people are much more common in Austin and less likely to be regarded as circus freaks. No, these comments were read on the bastion of rudeness: the Internet. Sigh. And…

Fabulous Fluevogs for Fall

Over the past few weeks, Fluevog has been posting their new shoes for fall on the website, and they’ve outdone themselves yet again! They debuted all kinds of gorgeous boots…the Fluevog Kona, above, is a deliciously wearable mid-calf boot, with saucy back laces and heel detailing. They also come in a gorgeous wine shade. The Libby…
