M a i n t e n a n t :

• Obsessed with the entire shirt-tucked-into-little-high-waisted-skirts thing. Completely enamored; it is my favorite look, forever and always: easy, effortless, and always sophisticated. I think I’ve worn said outfit once too many times the past few weeks; a tee/tank tucked into my black bandage mini (fairly new, but already worn to death).
• Pumps. I simply cannot get enough of the iconic shoe of femininity and sex. Brownie points for patent ones.
• After resurrecting old images of Nicole Richie (from tfs, a.k.a. the holy grail) and newer ones of Ashley Olsen’s new(-ish) hair, I have been dying to hack off my hair to sport the longer version of the angled bob.
• Deep purple nail lacquers, particularly this one by Sally Hansen whose name is unknown to me (there was no label). I love the connotations of the color: royal, mysterious, a bit sultry in an unexpected way. Somehow the shade compliments my skintone too; blues tend to look a bit harsher/unnatural on me than purples with a yellower base.
• Need? More high waisted bandage minis. Currently eyeing every black American Apparel assortment, specifically this, this, and this. Eyeing, not buying, sadly.

Random  T i d b i t  of the Day:

I’m not one to listen to country music. Rather, I’ve been one of the few on the forefront of disliking it—I am hardly afraid of admitting that. But somehow “You Belong to Me,” by Taylor Swift won me over through the most adorable (yet cliche) music video. And now I’m coveting those adorable geek glasses. Yes, I’m a bit late on the trend, but I’m never one to follow immediately. I follow my own itinerary on the intake of current trends.
