How Can You Have Any Pudding If You Don't Eat Your Meat?!

Just sort of obsessed with the Jeffrey Campbell Daisy D wedge. I can't decide what color I want, but I'm leaning toward this cheetah.

Someday Things Gonna Be The Same

Currently reading The Year of Magical Thinking.

Joan Didion is one of my favorite writers, by far. Even seeing a picture of her, she just exudes intelligence, class, and confidence.

But I Like It

Super quickie Photobooth post.

These are some fingerless gloves I knitted up - kind of obsessed with.

(btw, impossible to pose hands in a picture without looking like a) a douchebag or b) totally awkward. I think I went with b.)

Also, you can kind of see that I finally dyed the tips of my hair blue. It's super faded in this picture, but I just redid it last night and between the fading and the new dye, the ombre thing looks excellent. I'll try to get another picture of it soon.

It's Loud And Tasteless And I've Heard It Before

So, I'm back in the blogging mood. I had been feeling very uninspired fashion-wise these past several months, but I'm kind of getting into it again. I'm on winter break for the next month with no responsibilities, so I'll try to get the blog back into the swing of things!

OK, now I know I am in the severe minority when I say this, but I hate the Jeffrey Campbell Litas. His shoes for me are usually either dead-on, or totally psychotic/"Why would anyone buy these??" I just don't get the Litas. I think they create an extremely unflattering silhouette on the foot, and not even in a cool or interesting way. It's one thing to be unflattering, but not necessarily ugly. I think it's the covered platform that does it for me. Whenever I see them on other blogs, I only like outfits that include a pair of Litas if the Litas are almost entirely hidden by a flared pant (then I can just imagine they're a cuter pair of shoes anyway). I'll end my rant now, but am I seriously the only person that doesn't get what's so great about these shoes? The Foxys are so similar and about a million times cuter. I'd rather wear those sandals and have cold toes than these horrid boots. :)

Don't Let No One Prove You Wrong

I've been in a bit of a funk lately and I haven't felt in a fashion blogging place, but I thought I'd at least share this:

This is a 1930s bathing suit that I came across online from one of my favorite vintage shops - Swift. I love the cutout and am going to use it as inspiration for a future knitting project. I'll let you know how that turns out (if and when I get a break from school stuff to knit finally!).

And here's a great song from Jenny & Johnny with some visual for a little inspiration.

Show Your Teeth To Everyone

This time of year always makes me very conflicted, fashion-wise. It's summer. It's 90 degrees and I'm melting most of the time. I have to walk to class, and anything other than cutoffs and a tank top is simply impractical. BUT my closet is full of new fall purchases that I am dying to wear. With this confusion in mind, here are a couple outfits I've found inspiring lately:

Warm weather. Minus the jacket, even though the jacket is my favorite part and I've been looking for a good blazer.

Cool weather. Badass. And I might die if I don't get those shoes.

I Want To See You Dance Again

People keep hating on the Dolce Vita x Target collaboration, but I'm really digging this pair. I think I must buy them. The issue is now studded vs. not studded. (Knowing me, studded will probably win).
