The modern oxford






crocheted top & high-waisted pants: H&M
cardigan & shoes: UO
bag: vintage
necklace: Forever 21

What warrants a new post more than new shoes? I got these for shamefully cheap the other day and I think they're kind of amazing. Christmas money spent well.

Re: Christmas, I hope everyone had a good one! My family will be celebrating on Saturday, New Year's Eve, and then I suppose I'll go out and pretend to be social and interesting.

p.s. look what Santa brought Luella! Her very first clothing item!

Things that are not me: Holiday

       What Do I Wear 




Kourtney Kardashian. Deal with it.

















For the first installment of what I hope to be many weekly link roundups, I wanted to share some thing I've found via much more beautiful and fashionable ladies.  

These things are not me. I don't sparkle and I don't wear much jewelry. But I love them, and I love looking at them. I would wear all of this stuff to the pretend holiday party that my imaginary fans have invited me to. And then banned from for next year's, because I drink too much.

Put the heat on






leopard blouse: H&M (first seen here)
cardigan: UO (a favorite, here)
high-waisted pants: H&M
lace-up boots & bag: UO

My wardrobe predictability is a curse. If it's not from Urban Outfitters, H&M, Forever 21, or American Apparel, then I probably don't own it. Maybe one day I'll accept the boatloads of freebies that designers are clamoring to have me feature, but I just keep turning them down because I'm so indie and underground and I don't want to look like a sellout. 


I'm gonna bury my head in this cardigan like an ostrich and never come out. Apparently it's some sort of cold weather season.

Indoor cat

 





cropped sweater: H&M
skirt: thrifted (shortened & hemmed)
head scarf: thrifted
sweater tights: Target
lace-up boots, frames, & bag: UO

I might have mentioned a few dozen times before that I hate the cold. So much so that I couldn't even suck it up long enough to go outside without a coat for ten minutes for some photos. So white-walled apartment it is.
My witch boots + sweater tights = favorite winter staples, although today, the zipper on my favorite coat busted, so I'll re-arrange my priorities briefly. Any links to some bad-ass yet affordable coats would be much appreciated!

just blacks on blacks on blacks






jacket: H&M
pants: Cheap Monday
boots: Target
purse: vintage
rings: the usual
frames: UO

I just got home from New York yesterday and I have a ton of little snapshots to sift through from my trip. Mostly inconsequential, undeserving things: my third Bellini at Yaffa, a guy with a cane, and this lady on the plane who thought both the arm rests PLUS my seat were hers. Riveting stuff.
