Daily Outfit 6/25

Probably not my most flattering outfit ever. Definitely not the most flattering photo ever, thanks to indoor lighting and the cats interrupting the other photos we got! Oversized shirt/tunic – Austin clothing swap a while back Flats – Aerosoles via eBay Leggings – Target (need to get new ones, these are a little short for…

Gabi from Young Fat and Fabulous is an MTV TJ finalist! Go follow her on Twitter if you’re not already. This PDF cookbook has a whole host of recipes that require less than 5 ingredients and less than 10 minutes of cooking time. I’ve tried a few from it with limited success (I think the…

Links a la Mode, June 4th

Fashion History, Doing it Yourself, and Breaking Stereotypes Edited by: Marie Denee of The Curvy Fashionista My first week editing the Links a`la Mode and it was such a pleasure to peruse the latest jewels from the blogosphere!

Cheap Design: Photo Wall

We’re slowly getting the new place decorated, which is good after living here six months! Mostly we need to get the furniture together; our living room is looking great except that we have, you know, a zebra print scoop chair and a blue recliner in here. ANYWAYS, one of the problems I’ve had is decorating…

A Comfortable & Cute Shoe Wardrobe

It can be a constant battle to be comfortable and fashionable at the same time. Especially because all too often, the “fashion” idea of comfortable shoes amounts to “I can stand for 20 minutes before I have to sit down”. Youch! If you work on your feet or do a lot of walking, that just…

This Week’s Photo Recap

Marvelous Monday

Amaaazing fingernails. Confessions of a former snarker American Apparel jumps on the fail-wagon again! Anyone surprised? On “reverse” cultural appropriation. Seven Kinds of Awful: Fashion Industry Scouting in Brazil So to be fair, I’ve never seen Glee, but I thought this post was good/interesting.

Saturday Shoelust

I think my favorite thing about these boots is that they look like some awesome combination of engineer boots (one of my most worn pairs of shoes, except in the unholy Austin summers) and cowboy boots. I need another pair of boots like I need…um, something I don’t really need – boots make up approximately…
