I'm Back...Again?


So, I've been gone for a while. Like, almost exactly 11 months. Don't feel bad if you didn't notice, the things I posted here weren't that exciting or noteworthy. But anyway, I'm back now. And I think I might stick around this time, but I'm not making any promises. Partly because I hate not being able to keep the promises I make, but mostly because I suck at commitment.

Things around here are probably going to change a bit, or a lot, whatever. I'll probably still post outfits, and I'll definitely still post recipes. Mostly because I'm fairly certain that my mom is tired of me sending her pictures of my food and bragging about how great I am (at cooking, and in general). The recipes will not be sugar-packed brownies and cupcakes anymore though, because I am following a paleo diet 99% of the time now. During that 1% of the time that I'm not eating paleo, I'm sitting on the couch eating an entire bag of Glutino's gluten free chocolate covered pretzels and suffering from a sugar high. Which is why I had the genius idea to write this post at 3:11 this morning. Who needs sleep? Not me, apparently. Or my Dad, because he just accidentally called me. At 3:35 AM. So, at least I know who to blame for my insomnia now.

That got off topic quickly...

Anyway, like I was saying, things are going to change around here, I don't know if it will be a big change or a little change. What will change, without a doubt, will be the tone of this blog. I think the reason I didn't stick with blogging before was because I didn't feel like this blog was an accurate portrayal of who I am. I felt like I was trying to say things that I thought people wanted to hear. And anyone who knows me will assure you that that doesn't happen in real life. I'm the queen of telling people the truths that they don't want to hear.

someecards.com - You can always count on me to be the asshole who gives you a reality check instead of telling you what you want to hear.

As much as I would love to be a super-polite, poised, southern belle all the time, that's never going to happen. It's not in the cards for me. Seriously, you should meet my relatives, it's not genetically possible. And I'm okay with that. I'm sarcastic, witty, brutally honest, bitchy, and frankly, a little rude sometimes. But, in the greatest way possible. So, there will probably be some super-opinionated posts on here, and there will absolutely be a hell of a lot of sarcasm and cursing. And probably some late night, booze-fueled posts (Sorry, Mom and Dad), because that's what happens in my life. And because I can't currently have my usual middle of the night, long-distance, drunkfest conversations with one of my favorite people because she is doing other things with her life that make this, which happens to be one of our favorite pastimes, impossible for a little while. Holy run-on fragment, batman. You would never know that I did really well in all of my english classes.

Anyway, this was a really long post to say that I'm back. Hopefully you'll stick around for this little journey. And bring your friends along, and some wine (because I don't share). Or don't. I don't judge.

(Yes, I do. I absolutely do.)

Hey lovelies!

I hope you've all had a great month of so since we last talked! Life has been pretty hectic around here, so I decided that I had to cut blogging out for a little while. I've been spending my time trying to make some big decisions (which we all know I'm awful at), handling what my best friend has officially decided is her quarter-life crisis, and trying to stay on top of a crazy schedule this semester. But, neglecting this little blog of mine was really bothering me. So, I'm back, and working on scheduling every second of my time so that I can make sure I have time to blog on a regular basis again.

What have you all been up to lately?

Wednesday Wishlist - ON


I'm starting something new here on the blog. It's part of my new years resolutions to blog more, and to have more structure and cohesion from week to week. On Wednesdays I'm going to list some of the things I'm obsessing over that week. Otherwise, the tabs stay open on my laptop until I have the extra cash to buy them. Which usually ends up not happening and then I am left with 60+ tabs open and a really slow computer. Plus, I love seeing what clothes/makeup/jewelry/shoes/etc. people are wishing would show up in their closets. I'll try to focus on one store or one style each week. 

This week: Old Navy. I went on their website to send a friend the link to a sweater I just bought, and somehow got roped in to looking at all the new arrivals. My wallet still hasn't forgiven me for how much I spent at two different Old Navy's Christmas week, so this probably isn't helping anything. But, I do have a $20 off coupon that I need to use soon.


  1. Charmeuse Tab-Sleeve Dress
  2. Printed Blanket Wrap Cardigan - Obsessed with this. It might be coming to live with me next week.
  3. Pleated Ruffle Tank
  4. Multi-Stripe Long Sleeve Tee - How cute are the multi-colored stripes? I love the contrast between the navy and the brown.
  5. Printed Wrap Dress
  6. Striped Dolman Sleeve Tee
  7. Striped Intarsia Sweater
  8. Faux Fur Shoulder Bag - I have no idea what it is about this bag, but I'm kind of dying over it right now.
  9. Striped French Terry Shift Dress
  10. Faux Snakeskin Flats
  11. Character Lounge Pants - I love batman. And even though I hate pajama pants 99% of the time, I think I need these.
  12. Color Blocked Tote
Let me know in a comment or e-mail if you like the idea for Wednesday Wishlist, and maybe I'll start a link-up for future Wednesdays.

EBEW: Black and White



 Jacket: Steve and Barry; Sweater: Gift; 
Pants: H&M; Shoes: Corso Como

I'm so tired that I can barely form complete sentences right now, let alone properly dress myself. But, I wanted to participate in EBEW, since I hadn't in the past few months. This months challenge was to come up with a black and white outfit. I feel like I probably should have skipped this month. I'm not crazy about this outfit at all. I don't feel like myself without color on. And, I can't stand when I'm wearing all black, but the blacks don't match. I wanted to wear a black blazer, but I couldn't find either of mine. So I settled, and I think it shows. But, I've been up since 4:00 AM, and I'm running on two and a half hours of sleep, so I'm just happy with the fact that I remembered to put on pants.

xoxo
