Comin' in YEEEEEEEHA!

Ya know?! I've decided that I'm just going to entertain myself here for a while until I get some internet friends. I believe I have missed the point of BlOgGiNg so I'm regrouping.... I'm going to make myself laugh, post pictures for myself, give me some music to torso dance to in my chair, maybe even snuggle with myself a lil bit. Nah probably not. I am at work after all. Yea that's right--I'm at work and I'm blogging. Know why? Because I have nothing to do. I am basically a personal assistant to the most organized, most in-need-of-no-assistant person in the world. Yet--I'm getting paid to do half the work of other assistants. PAH! Want to hear about my morning? Sure go ahead! Ok so...

Wake up leisurely at 7:45, check my emails from bed, gather myself to go to the gym (my boss allows me to go to the gym in the mornings because he believes that the endorphins you get from working out make you a positive person and it is a "necessary part of one's day")... I'll roll with it!
I arrive at Globogym around 8. I stayed on the treadmill for the entire hour today because really I didn't feel like fighting with the meatballs and old people that inhabit the gym in the mornings for the free weights or machines. I don't feel like I got all the "endorphins" out that I could have, so I stopped and got coffee on the way home to try to compensate. I hate coffee. It's kind of like beer. I only drink it if everyone else is and it only takes one cup/bottle to get me to the desired state... and I make the same face after I take a sip of both.....
ANYshwoo... I arrive home for my VERY FAVORITE part of my entire day! Getting ready! I am truly... and I mean truly blessed to get to wear literally whatever-da-heyo I want to work. I know that I am blessed because in my former job, we had royal blue button up shirts that we had to wear--- bottoms, shoes and accessories were not specified however, so I--shall we say "jazzed" it up--quite a bit.

----Answering my desk phone.. I have to take this.... Hold please-----------

Excuse me. Anyway.. let's get to the point. I got dressed and came to work. I'm only posting my outfit today to punish myself. I did the animal kingdom wrong on this one...

This is my model face, btw.

On the bottom I have black fauxleather skinnies and black suede knee-high flat boots. Again-- the whole full-body self timer at work is not a good idea... it could end my blogging days. I can only imagine what by boss would say if he walked into my office and saw me vogue-ing followed by a flash....

Are you confused about what zebras, rosary jewelry, and bright colors have in common? Me too. I think maybe it's the fact that they shouldn't be mixed. PS-these are my favorite earrings and I didn't think they could be done wrong, really. *pouty face*





See my fake plant in the background? I had a real one that was really pretty but it turned a yucky brown color and fell apart. I guess I was supposed to water it or something.... In lieu of not becoming an herbal serial killer.. I replaced it with this beautiful arrangement of silk.




Oh btw.. I have red hair now. I like it even thought my boyfriend keeps finding pictures of me where I just so happen to be blonde and saying ohhhh look how pretty you look in THIS one! And even though most of my usual passer-bys have been saying, "Eh! What did you do to your hair?!" as if I went to sleep on accident in a pool of dye and this was the unfortunate product, or a member of PETA mistook mistaked thought my hair was a blonde fur hat and shouted.. ANIMAL KILLEeerrrrrrr.. ooops.. after they poured red paint on it... or perhaps men really do prefer blondes...... Who the flock cares?! Not me, I love it! :)



POWER TO THE REDHEADS!!!  HIYA!


Today I love Nicki Minaj.

I'm so lonely, here in my little blog.

I need help!! Can someone out there please tell me how to attract people to my blog?? I am in dire need of some advise... right now I'm just sending words out to cyberspace. What I want is for women and men of all ages (I don't have any discrimination really- I want to see everyone's clothes) to comment and post pictures of their own outfits and fashion ideas. So how do I get people to interact with me?!?!?! In real life, I just talk to strangers. I don't now how to do that here....... pwees hewp me.

Celebrities that did it RIGHT!

I get a lot of tips from celebrities when it comes to how to pull off an outfit.... aaand when an outfit literally needs to be pulled off... and burned. With an expensive stylist tending to your every shopping, coffee, kids to school trip, it seems as though it would be easy to look rich and famous. That is their job, right? The truth is, like the rest of us, once in a while life takes over and high fashion and makeup take the sidelines, even for celebutantes with infinite fashion resources. I'm feeling positive today though, so let's focus on the good, shall we?



Carrie Underwood at
CBS Early Show Spring 2010

Carrie Underwood In Yoana Baraschi
Exhibit A-- Carrie Underwood is such a timeless beauty. The girl could throw on a Members Only jacket and some acid wash jeans and rock the HELL out of 'um. At a CBS Early Show Appearance, Carrie flaunts this sweet, light look, complete with black open platforms and a soft, breezy blowout. Dark liner and lashes with a muted pallet make take this "comfortable" look to daytime sexy starlet. Can you say, "beautiful, wonderful, perfect, all-American girl"?!
This is how you do a spring dress, people.













I have to cut myself off there and face a harsh reality-- I'm blogging about what Carrie Underwood wore in the Spring... I'm having serious warm weather separation anxiety. The sad truth is that if I were to step out of my office right now in anything like this, a mild case of hypothermia would result. Here's a look at what I'm working with...

No, I'm kidding. I don't even know what snow looks like. It's just really cold here. Like frigid cold. Like make you sprint from your car across the parking lot to the office lobby in Louboutins at the risk of falling or worse- breaking a heel cold.
... Oh Spring dress and open toed shoes where art thou....

In my future posts, I will concentrate on the here and now. Not the old. Apologies.

Then post a picture of your outfit so everyone can see it!!

Is this thing on??

Hello.... readers?


I guess I don't really know a lot about what I'm doing here... actually I have no idea what I'm doing here. My assumption is that I am typing in this box to inevitably press "publish post", where in turn, this blob of text will appear on my... wall? You would think that since I practically left the womb with a cell phone and could type my name on a laptop before I could say it, blogging would come naturally. The truth is though, to this point, I have given a big "suck it" to social media sites. Why???? say you? I happen to believe in the age-old concept of face to face interaction.... I also believe it to be narcissistic and self-absorbed.


.....End painfully ironic blurb of anti-social media-ness on a social media site....


Let's try this again, shall we?? Hi! I am a fashion, decor, art, pretty things FaNaTiC! I'm totally obsessed. What better way to share the pretty things that I have found with other people to hopefully in turn, see the pretty things that they have found?! That sounds like a beautiful idea to me.


I promise I am not a grandpa, contrary to my sense of humor and my affinity for the "good old days". I'm hip err.. cool... eh.. down-wit-it definitely not..... I'm young!!!!!!!


...now if I could just figure out how to upload.....
