Jump around

Photos by Alex.

Friday at lunch, I met up with Alex to take outfit pictures. Her outfit was fabulous -- as you can see here. Mine was casual Friday gone casual. So instead of trying to make it look cool, I spent the photoshoot jumping off benches. And I must say, I'm pretty impressed with my air.

(Oh and yes. Those are gold cheetah print converse.)

{outfit} Sequin shorts

"STOP TAKING PICTURES OF YOURSELF AND PLAY WITH ME."

Earrings: Forever 21/ Jacket: HM (old) / Shorts: Rampage / Tights: Hue/ Shoes: Adrienne Vittadini

I became obsessed with sequin shorts when I spotted a pair at TopShop last year. Unfortunately they were $100 and that seems like a high price to pay to make your butt sparkly. As luck would have it, though, I found a similar pair on sale for $30 in the Macy's junior department last week. (I shop juniors A LOT.) They're totally fabulous and I dressed them down with a denim jacket to make the entire outfit more appropriate for where I was going: a sports bar.

Yes, I'm occasionally THAT girl.

(Also, I realize there's a massive window behind me and my photos are overexposed. I was trying to do something cool but I clearly failed. Whatever. At least my shorts are super awesome and shiny. And my dog is cute.)

{outfit} Florals and brights

Trench: HM (old) / Dress: vintage/ Belt: vintage / Boots: ? / Tights: ? 

I just realized that besides the trench and the tights, everything else in this outfit is secondhand. I did actually buy the dress -- for $12 at a vintage shop -- but the belt is my mom's from the 80s and the boots are swapped.

Apparently I like to wear other people's clothes.

And I'm totally OK with that.

Easter in Boston

Easter was always a fancy holiday growing up so I felt slightly badass today going to the movies and eating tacos for dinner. In front of the TV. I know -- crazy!

All photos by Jack Weiland (except the ones he's in, duh!) 

Baby got back(pack)

As promised, here's my super cool backpack that transforms into a messenger bag. Thank you, Jack for the lovely photos!

Happy Easter/Passover/Weekend! I'm spending mine perfecting Eggs Benedict, inventing this month's spring-themed cupcake (for Tuesday!), and getting re-addicted to One Tree Hill. It's going to be fabulous.

In bloom (aka still obsessed with my camera)

When I came home last night, I noticed the sun was doing some pretty cool things to the tree in front of my house. I immediately ran inside, yelled something lame to Jack like "THE TREE LOOKS SO COOL!", grabbed my Nikon, and started snapping away.

I'm still a tad rusty with manual mode -- I learned the basics four years ago during an artsy semester in Venice but it didn't all stick. That said, I'm pretty pleased with these photos. (Mainly because they actually came out.)

Just don't ask me what I did or to do it again!

Basking in sunshine

Peggy Sue and Little Greg couldn't get enough of this weather! Hope it continues into the weekend. Happy Friday!

Oh and P.S. In case you're wondering, Lou enjoys looking at the outdoors from a safe distance.

(He overheats pretty quickly. Being fat and all.)

Early spring

It's officially the first day of spring -- and boy does it feel nice!

Keep up the good weather, Mother Nature!

Bring on the spring showers

A pop of yellow and red can make even the dreariest day bright.

Big, bouncy, sexy hair will be all the rage this spring, according to my most recent issue of Harper's Bazaar. Since I aim to have supermodel-of-the-90s hair on a daily basis, this is excellent news. I can't wait for everyone to be sporting my favorite look. The above pics are just a few from my favorite Pinterest board -- Hair Envy -- which I'll be updating regularly. Check it out and follow me to see more awesomely large hair.
