Home Sweet Home

I love being home. All I've done since I've been home is eat Korean food. And then some more. Just got back from a *great* lunch today!

What I'm wearing:
navy jacket from S. Korea (borrowed from my sister's closet)
anthropologie Million Monarch Chemise
black Steve Madden Intyce boots

I really liked my outfit today so I was determined to take a good photo of it today. This proved to be a bit more difficult than I thought. I'm used to having my favorite spots to take my photos in when I'm back in Annapolis, so it took some experimenting to find a good spot to take a photo.

Didn't really like the way this turned out, but love that Louis made the photo! =)

Giving Louis a treat. You can also see his bear in the background! He loves his toys

Last but not least King Louis himself! Isn't he adorable? This is his favorite chair. I always catch him napping on it.

I do have to say something about these boots. These Steve Madden "Intyce" flat boots have been my favorite for the last two winters, and I feel like I will be wearing them to death this year too. My first pair of cognac colored ones (that I've worn already this year) are completely worn out, and the heels are ridiculously worn down and unwearable. Luckily, I picked up a new identical pair this weekend at Nordstrom, where they were on sale! This black pair I think I gave to my sister, but she ended up not wearing them, so I think I'm taking them back. These boots are perfect with skirts, jeans tucked in, seriously anything. I love wearing them on rainy days because they keep my feet dry, and my pants don't get wet (I hate, hate that). Ok, I will stop raving about them now.

I am sad that I'm leaving on Monday....

Just Checking In....

I'm at my parents' house and I'm loving it! I don't have to work, we eat lots of yummy food, and I get to hang out with my awesome family (minus one sister). Although I did have to go to the dentist and get some major dental work done, which was NOT fun at all. But it's good to get it over with. Apparently I need to stop drinking Diet Coke, which I'm not sure I can do (I'm seriously addicted).

Here is a quick snap of an outfit I wore yesterday.


What I'm wearing:
black J.Crew tartine cardigan (has cute chiffon ruffle detail at the collar and hem)
gold/cream striped J.Crew ribbed tank (the gold stripes are metallic)
anthropologie Tulip Perspective mini skirt
black patent Taryn Rose flats
Marc by Marc Jacobs purse

Just went for a walk with Louis the shitzu! He's adorable, I will try to get some snaps of him later.

These Boots Were Made for Walking....

I love that it is boot wearing weather!!! Except that I really wanted a Caramel Apple Spice from Starbucks today and they were out! It was tragic.

I snagged these brown Corso Como boots at Martin + Osa last winter at a great price on sale! I adore this plaid ruffle skirt, I think it looked absolutely adorable on Anthroholic and had to have it (especially after it was marked down)! I thought that the cranberry top helps this lighter colored skirt transition into fall. I have had this shirt for ages, it is super soft and I love the bell sleeves.

What I'm wearing:
cranberry James Perse boatneck top
grey anthropologie Snakebite belt
plaid ruffle anthropologie Sidestep skirt
brown Corso Como for M+O boots

I need to finish packing tonight! Am driving to Atlanta tomorrow! Hopefully it shouldn't take me any more than 12 hours. I am off to download some audio books and some new music for my ipod!

parsley sage ROSEMARY and thyme...

What I'm wearing:
anthropologie Rosemary dress
grey BCBG sweater coat
black Taryn Rose pumps
White House Black Market cinch belt

Anthropologie is having a great sale right now, tons of markdowns! I went in store this past weekend to return the Monochromatic Corset dress (I liked it, but it didn't WOW me) and walked out with a few items that were marked down! This Rosemary dress was one of them! I had tried it on ages ago, but didn't love it enough to pay full price for it. I love the vivid minty green turquoise color, and I think that it is a great transition piece, I can see myself wearing it with tights and flat black boots (which I'm on the search for). It's a bit shapeless, but it has pockets and is super comfortable.

I paired it with a BCBG sweatercoat that I "borrowed" from my little sister. According to the tag, it's a true sample, not sold in stores. I love that it has an asymmetrical zipper, and I love the collar. I took off the belt that came with it, and replaced it with a cinch belt from White House Black Market. I also adore these black Taryn Rose pumps. Taryn Rose is quickly becoming my favorite brand! I live in her black patent ballet flats, and these pumps are almost as comfortable! I should have taken a better photo of these, they are black with a slight golden metallic sheen. A great twist to the basic black pump.

This is Bear sitting outside watching me take some photos.... I'm boring him!

I Never Loved Nobody Fully...

Always one foot on the ground....


Sorry, this song is stuck in my head right now, I was lucky enough to go see Regina Spektor in concert last night in DC! She was amazing, she is so talented, and super quirky and I adore her. I am still sick, so that was kind of a bummer, but I was determined to medicate myself and make it to the show.

What I'm wearing:
Old Navy t-neck dress
Sam Edelman lace-up boots
Martin + Osa necklace
Gucci bag (old birthday present from my lovely sister)

This lightweight sweater dress from Old Navy is perfect for the fall weather we have right now. I paired it with a pair of awesome boots that I may be wanting to wear every day this fall. They are a bit tougher looking than the boots that I usually gravitate towards, which are usually sleeker. I think these will balance out my more feminine looks nicely.


They have an assymetrical zipper, and are lined with ugg-like fuzziness on the inside. Delightful.

Tried to get Roadie to pose for the camera but he was having none of that.... at least he isn't bringing mice into the house (*cough* ahem Bear)


Oh, and I am in utter denial that it is October already!!!!!!!! 2009 is flying by. Soon it'll be Halloween, then Thanksgiving (YUM), and then CHRISTMAS!!! Crazy. I am going home to Atlanta next week, and I'll be lugging all my warm weather things with me to stay with my parents until next spring. So excited to see my family and also eat some yummy Korean food.
