Somebody That I Used To Know

Somebody That I Used To Know- Gotye (how gooood is this song?!)

So it's finally here, the end of my early twenties. 

Gah! 

My poor Hundred list- I'm definitely leaving it all to crunch time! Looks like I'll be taking 2015 off and just globe trotting the entire time. Aww shucks, sounds rough, right? 

And even though I wore this outfit a full week before my birthday I felt that the sparkle and slight "dance costume" feel of it was appropriate for my birthday post! Unless you really don't give a hoot, your birthday is one of the few times you can get away with wearing sequins before 10 am...

ah, who am I kidding? Sequins are too much fun to be left only for after brunch. Introduce them to your croissants tomorrow! 

Navy Wool Cardigan- Gap, Black Lace Blouse- Wilfred (similar), Sequin Shorts- Borrowed from Cee (similar), Mauve Tights- Marks & Spencer, Grey Suede Heels- Nine West (similar)

I'm still on the fence about the mixing of textures in this outfit- sequin shorts, lace top, wool sweater. When the idea popped in my head it was immediate love, however, looking at the photos I think the lace and sequins are too similarly busy, hmm... back to the drawing board I guess!

I'm an avid believer in the Live and Learn motto, naturally! 

love & birthday kisses

Semi-Charmed Life

Semi-Charmed Life- Third Eye Blind

This is Monique. She rocks. For reals. 

This was my Wednesday night. It rocked. For reals. (haha sorry, had to put that in there!) 

ANYWAYS! So Monique, Brooke (from last post) and I usually get together on Wed nights to be complete girls, talk about clothes and style and plan out how to take over the fashion scene in our town (not hard, just a lot of work!). We get all businessy with charts, books and notes (plus a bottle of wine... What? I'm sure business meetings in Europe have copious amounts of wine!). This week Brooke was stuck in bed with a terrible cold so Monique and I decided to forgo all the planning and instead do an impromptu photo shoot a la Terry Richardson*! We got all dressed up and ran around her apartment with our cameras (Thank goodness her Mr was working late, the poor guy wouldn't have stood a chance against all the fashion fun!)

This girl is seriously awesome, one of the funniest (proof below), sweetest and most stylish ladies that I know. She has a blog with her equally adorable sister and if you ever need inspiration or just to look at her insanely killer style you have to head over to WPLY (We Probably Love You). There is also the most ridiculously hilarious photo from last night on her blog right meow and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Now, how's that for an incentive!?

*No, I do NOT agree with Terry as a person. He is creepy and uses his power and status to corrupt innocent  models. He does have a talent though. He is an amazing photographer. Shame about his personality though...
