If you can't handle the heat, get out of the (kitschen)!

(Top/leggings/skirt - H&M, fuzzy cardigan - Lost & Found in Tokyo, necklace - vintage, bag - vintage from Tokyo, boots - Alice + Olivia for Payless)

This cardigan is one of my most favorite items I purchased in Japan - it's fuzzy and cozy but also lightweight and lined with satin. Even better? It was on sale for 1500 yen! (Roughly $15)

One of my biggest pet peeves about winter is the fact that I am getting to work when the sun is just rising, and leaving when the sun has already set. After work, I barely leave the apartment and end up going to bed waay earlier than usual - hellooo, winter blues!

P.S.

Confessions of a Window Dresser

A year or so ago, a co-worker of mine brought in Confessions of a Window Dresser by Simon Doonan (of Barney's fame). I read it, loved it, coveted it, received it as a Christmas gift from my BFFL (who had no idea I had even heard of it! Now that's fo' real). I've been meaning to scan some of the photos but totally forgot until recently, when I was made aware of a TV show loosely based on Mr. Doonan's life called Beautiful People (also the name of his second book). The show plays just like the man himself - downright cheeky!







Love these separately and conjoined.









Thanks to all the rain lately, I've had the chance to catch up on (or just re-watch) some TV shows that may give a disturbingly accurate insight into...my deepest darkest secrets. They are as follows (try not to judge too harshly):

One Tree Hill
Blossom (so sassy!)
True Blood
Beverly Hills 90210 (the orig!)
Laguna Beach Season 2
Arrested Development
The aforementioned Beautiful People
It's Always Sunny

These are all watched sporadically and not back to back, so I do spend some QT with the real world..swear.

Loveeee her

I know she gets a lot of flack, but I have such respect for someone with true personal style. She also has killer legs!
