are overalls having a moment?


via

Guys, seriously. 
I called this like a year ago but be honest with me, are overalls back? 
You can't tell me your junior high self isn't just a little bit excited. 






 * Oh yeah, those are wedding overalls! 


What do you guys think? Would you rock the overalls?

View of Lowertown from my friend's apartment

A runny Saturday made for the perfect day to send out invites

Alvi and I had not one but two coffee dates in the same day

These shoes are very uncomfortable
I had a pants party at work last week

Who does Target think they are? Frenchie gift bags? Rifle Paper notebooks? Bye, money.

weekly roundup 13/52


Someone buy me these Wooden Heart Sunnies

This post on Buzzfeed is so perfect. I use my friend's but it's only fair since he uses my Netflix account. (I also use another friend's parent's Hulu account.....whooops)

 The Voice started up again this week and I couldn't be more excited! Two favorites so far: This guy (and this cover) and this girl. I also cannot complain about Usher and that smile of his.

Lollapalooza Rumors are taking over my life. I simply cannot wait until the official release on April 9th. ****

This video of an 88 year old grandma getting down will immediately make your day better. You MUST watch until the very end, though.

Happy Easter, everyone!

how many swipes?




While browsing Birchbox this morning, I was immediately intrigued by THIS article. I mean... anyone who knows me knows I love my lipstick! People always say "Aw, just like your mom...", so maybe thats it? But really, I just love lipstick...

Anyway, back to the article, I never really thought about how many swipes are actually in a tube of lipstick. Luckily, there's the Birchbox team to help us answer that...

My guess was way off with an outrageous 600. According to them, it's actually 293, lasting about 3 months if you apply three times a day per day. Luckily, I switch off between colors so often that a tube lasts me well over a year. 

What would you have guessed?

happy birthday, aries!





Well, I'm a few days late on my happy birthday Aries post! You'd think being an Aries myself that I would have been all over this but I just couldn't seem to get inspired. I started a new job two weeks ago and have been busy cramming my brain with new facts and names.  Anyway, a very happy birthday to all my fellow Aries!

spring 2013 trend report: global prints




If you're go-to style is boho, why not spice things up with some global patterns? Don't be intimated by their loud prints and colors. It is very do-able! Just throw on that jacket with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a white tee and you will be the ultimate trend-setter.

Another Tuesday, another snow day. Luckily I was able to spend the day indoors and curled up with some blankets. Here are a couple shots from my morning.

Happy Birthday, Pisces!

Happy Birthday to all my Pisces out there! Three of my greatest friends are Pisces (one of which is celebrating a birthday TODAY) so I'm pretty excited about this post and new blog feature!




Here is your birthday month in review according to Astrology:

What partnership doesn’t have bumps? No partnership, that’s the answer. So if a few bumps come up on the 1st and 2nd, relax. Don’t tense up. Don’t get panicked. Go to yoga. Breathe deeply. Approach the bump. Examine what happened. Consider why. Consider how it could come up again. Get a professional opinion, if you want. Someone really helps you out on the 7th and 8th. Let them know how much you appreciate it. You’re in for some pretty transformative times on the wonderful 11th and 12th. Get ready for some pretty intense insights! Ah, romance! You love it, and you’ll have plenty of it, on the 16th and 17th. Yay! Even more romance makes you even more happy on the 21st and 22nd. Be sure to revel in the wonderfulness. Relationships are critical to everyone’s happiness. So be sure to give the ones in your life all the attention they need on the 25th, 26th and 27th. A few more bumps give you a chance to finesse your approach to issues, no matter what the relationship, on the 28th. Make the most of this opportunity!
