Midweek Menagerie 7/1

ONE

Super old news at this point, but my love for these Jeremy Scott Adidas was renewed when I saw them on lookbook yesterday.  A few months ago I saw them in Nylon and fell in love with them, but eventually forgot they existed.  When I showed them to David he said “what purpose does that serve?” but come on, do you really need a purpose to have sweet wings on your shoes?  I think not!

This guy on the Satorialist has been my hair inspiration the last couple of days.  I had my hair in curlers a couple of nights ago.  I got up and did my hair and then grabbed a cup of coffee and checked my bloglovin.  After seeing him I immediately went and poofed the heck out of my hair.  I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fro out my hair that much, but I did make it about 5 times bigger than it was before :) .

THREE

If you haven’t seen how fricking adorable Emma Watson looks in Teen Vogue, you should probably see these.  I am terribly excited to see Harry Potter on opening night… even though no one will dress up with me, haha.

FOUR

I left this fabulous tutorial opened in a window on my desktop for about a week before I finally closed it.  I knew if I closed it I would never getting around to reopening it and trying the tutorial.  That was a month ago :-/.  Anyways, this tutorial on embellished tights is fabulous!  I would probably get a run in them the first time I wore them, knowing how clumsy I am, but they are so lovely it would probably be worth it.

FIVE

So I have accounts at all of the fashion sites (stylemob… chictopia… modepass… probably some others) and never really post in them.  It seems like they all have kinks or confuse me or I just don’t want to take the time to learn to get around.  When darling Jane (she and her boy run Burger and Friends!) invited me to join lookbook I was excited because it’s the only fashion site I actually look at, but didn’t really think I’d end up posting anything.  But it’s super easy to get around and I like it a lot more than the others, even though I’ve only been on it one day!  Go be my friend :) .

SIX

We did a secret package exchange at the message board I’ve been posting at since I was 17 (!) and an adorable girl named Sarah got me as her partner.  She sent me lots of cutie pie things, but my favorite was this necklace!  It’s so pretty!  I’ve been wearing it any time it matches.  It has real flowers set in resin (or something).  So cute :) .

SEVEN

I got in to Texas Tech for my MBA!  My family is kind of obsessed with Texas Tech, but when I was looking at schools I never really considered it because I wasn’t excited about living in Lubbock.  But then David got accepted into their PhD program and I started playing around with the idea of applying and researched the program a bit more… and decided I liked it a lot :) .  I applied a couple of weeks ago and am really excited I got in, woo!

Stylemob

October 21st, 2008

top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right

I don’t really go on StyleMob much anymore.  For the most part it’s hard to find inspiration because the place is overrun by Hollister wearing teens.  Not that there’s anything wrong with Hollister wearing teens, but “inspired” is definitely not a word that describes them.  I went on yesterday to check some messages and found that yes, there are still some lovelies on there!  Maybe I’ll start checking back more often.

Anyone else have/still use their stylemob account?  Mine is here, if you’re interested, but updates are pretty far in between.  Is modepass taking over as the new place to find good inspiration?  I have an account but have yet to look around much
