Okay, so I love my red Maggy London dress from Nordstrom and I know ya’ll do too. It’s good for work, a night out, a wedding, most anything dependent on shoe and accessory choice. I walk into Subway and teens compliment me, head to the mall and Ladies Who Lunch ask me what designer made… Continue Reading My Red Dress?
Bad Allie. No pictures. So I got up early and ironed my two button-down shirts. Then I decided to go all Tracy Turnblatt on my hair and iron it as well. I used to do this in college and high school – the setting below wool on completely dry hair. Bend at the ironing board,… Continue Reading Thursday, First Week of October
Ah, nothing is better than stating aloud your feelings – if they are not positive for some reason, admitting them causes them to go sunny. I woke up on the right side of the bed and decided to get a bit creative with my clothing. Purple merino sweater dress from Goodwill. Yeppers you read that… Continue Reading Wednesday

The day was hot and humid and I know the Ren Fest is a place where you walk a lot, get sweaty, accidentally spill… Continue Reading This Weekend in October
Bright green puff-sleeved scoop neck sweater from Mossimo ($10 folks!), black stretch poplin trousers from Caslon, leopard peeptoe heels from BCBGirls, silver hoops and cuff. Can’t wait to wear this top with a denim pencil skirt that is en route to me (thank you so much Fashion and Beauty Bargain Queens! Love you!). Hair was… Continue Reading Friday: Oct 05, 2007
What an icky foggy morning. I walked out the door and the air felt like soup. No wonder my hair was acting so crazy! The traffic was AWFUL because in the DC area, you can have a drop of rain and people are slamming on brakes left and right, skidding into medians and freaking out… Continue Reading Thursday
Teal cotton babydoll top from Old Navy (um, yeah it should have been ironed but I was in a mad rush), black stretch poplin trousers from Caslon, black leather thong heels from Mossimo, bead and silver necklace from Target, silver cuff and hoops. Hair was washed and conditioned, a bit of Jonathan Silky Dirt applied… Continue Reading Wednesday
