In the neighborhood

My cute Parachute neighbors made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Exciting.

I'm also so intrigued by the whole 'wind tunnel' hairdo thing. I wonder if there's a tunnel to the right/ left correctness about it (like when dudes pierce their ear). Deep thoughts today... ha!

Hardcore Chocolate Coma

The chocolate chewies from Whole Foods are ridiculous. I'm in such a hardcore food coma-- I really don't think I can feel the right side of my face right now. Seriously.

Recipe here.

Perfect for summer. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't wear big earrings.

Obsessed and freaking out at the same time

Ok, I'm being a tiny bit dramatic... but mostly true.

I mean, you tell me...

Gorgeous flower pins by Emerson Made. She's sold out on the website, but is promising a new shipment on August 4th. I emailed her to confirm, but couldn't wait to post. Officially obsessed. Here's her blog.

Props to Little White Book for the find-- nice meeting you last night!

Perfect weekend style.

An open letter to (my friend) Carson Harris

Dear Carson,

If you don't agree to let us do this in October, you know we're going to do it anyway. Just so you know.

Sincerely,

Liz

Was amazing. Check his tour schedule and go. A few favorites he played at the show:

Rock out

rocker cuffrocker cuff 2rocker cuff 3

I spotted these rocker leather cuffs on Jewelrywhore and have to admit-- I like. Would be cute with jeans and a white button down, yes? I feel like fall clothes have a tougher edge this season, so for $49.00, I think I may have to do it.

Details here.

Tonight

K'naan is at the National in Richmond tonight. Excited.

Not only do I really like his music, this guy's story really is amazing. Hearing about how he taught himself English after fleeing Somalia really puts getting up early to go to the gym and FINALLY filing my bills into some serious perspective.

As in, total perspective.

Damn. I wish I could whip that dress out of my closet at any given moment. I know she's at fashion week, but I like to think she's actually running down to CVS for a roll of paper towels and an US Weekly. Because that would be my life. Ha!

Recovery Mode



So Monday got off to a no-start, thanks to a long weekend in Dewey Beach, DE celebrating my friend's 30th. I hadn't been there in 5 years, and I really forgot how it really is in the 10 top most shameless places on earth. For example, while we were enjoying our eggs on Saturday morning, the table next to us at brunch was enjoying a hardcore game of flip cup. At the restaurant. Amazing.

Another amazing discovery? The Bud Light 55-pack. Why not.


Not our accommodations this time, but maybe next? Wonder where I and II are?

Go Anna

Dear Anna,

I'm totally buying it. Love the jacket, the pink lining, the navy dress, the beading embellishment.

I also especially loved that elephant shirtdress.

Garden of Earthly Delights = I like.

Catnip for dudes

I always find it interesting what articles of clothing/ accessories get a dude's attention. Other than the obvious (nothing... or barely there little things), here are a few items I've noticed... are being noticed.

1. Neon Nail Polish

I bought Essie's Mini Shorts after seeing it in the J. Crew spring catalogue. I thought it was more orange-coral. Turns out it would probably be paired best with full camouflage and a loaded 12-gage. However, I got more compliments on this blaze orange shade from guys than I've ever gotten on most outfits. Girls, not so much.

2. The Romper

black halo romper

I've been babbling about this romper for weeks not, but seriously, I can't say enough good things about this number. I don't wear shorts. I also have an sizeable ass. Multiple someones said it made me look "tiny." Excuse me? Again please? Ha!

It's on sale on Neiman's. Get it and get back to me, ok?

3. Cleopatra Heels

Gladiator Heel Nude

I wore these to a wedding last weekend. Not the best for doing the pretzel, but these heels by Alexandra Neel might be the most attention grabbing article of clothing I've ever worn. Ever. I think I had several 70 year old men trying to pet my feet. And a few cute ones my own age.

On sale on shopbop. Worth every penny.

4. Love in White

Love in White by Creed is apparently loved by all mankind. Apparently.

Any other items you've noticed lately? Chime in, please...

Crack

Would you rather:

Red curry vs. green curry?

Either way, Thai food = crack.

Mexico. And the Mignot Sisters. And ME wants to go now!

I'm completely obsessed with their website and gypset lifestyle. And Mexican dresses. And pearl jewelry.

Green Light

John Legend's in Cville tonight.   Hot.

I love her dress.

I also love dresses with a long sleeve. And I love her bangs.

Outfit du jour

Don't you wish you could have someone come in and create daily outfit boards like this one with your own clothes?

I also am loving this Chloe romper, obv.
