Day Six Zero.

Let me just say in pictures how I felt tonight taking a picture of my outfit AGAIN.Okay. It's a teensy tiny picture. I'm being a little unladylike.Here is a more forced attempt at joviality.Well, it kind of worked.Wearing forest green cargo pants from Lulus, maroon knit tunic - gift from the madre in law, black tank from target and Gianni Bini cream patent leather pumps.I'm a little grumbly!But ...

Kinect finally motivated me to get in shape.

posted on , by Unknown

Sunday PostIn the past week I have totally changed my lifestyle. I usually wait until December 31 to set goals for the new year. These goals always include eating healthy and working out to be healthy and get in shape. I also know that I will never stick to these goals, because I am lazy. I have always being lazy. I hate the monotony of the gym. I don't like the outside cold hiking or getting ...

Going vegetarian, not vegan.

posted on , by Unknown

Today, after months of contemplation I decided to go vegetarian. So today it's my first day as a vegetarian. I was vegetarian when I was 17-18 for a year and half. I decided so after I came to the States the first time. I was grossed out by a dish my first host family made with beans, tomatoes sauce, sausages, pork and some other unknown meats. I switched back when I was in Italy. One night ...

Fashionably Late.

posted on , by Unknown

Fall is fashionably late this year. We were fashionably late to church. This blog is fashionably [one day] late. And I enjoy the concept that being late is considered fashionable because I am always late to everything. Except when I have to get people to TV Stations. Then, even at 4am, I can be remarkably prompt. Thank God.Wearing grey maxi dress from Lulus, tan booties from Forever 21, ...

Um yeah. We won.

posted on , by Unknown

Finally! I know all these Gator Haters are gunna come up with a gazillion reasons why this win is meaningless, but let's face it. Let's be honest. We killed 'em. And I'll take it! I'm usually the girl feeling sorry for the losing team, even when it's my team who is beating them! But not this time. I have endured some major Gator hatred over the last few years and I am happy to see their ...

The day After.

posted on , by Unknown

How many days until the end of this journey? Just a little over a month. I have to admit that I have not worn half of what I own. I had to reorganize my closet in such a way to force me to wear clothes I am avoiding and yet I don't want to get rid of. Right now I have put all the 'untouched' clothes on one side and the 'used' ones on the other side of my closet. I don't know why I have ...

This code of easy virtue.

posted on , by Unknown

It is so easy to get lazy with my wardrobe... even being required to not acquire any new items and not wear the same look twice... it's still easy to be lackluster! At this point I thought I would be wearing some crazy concoctions, but no. Today? Today I wore khaki cut offs, a plum tank and mauve sweater and moccasins. Just... normal.So tonight I decided, in my solitude [husband's off playing ...

"You Call That Emo?"

posted on , by Unknown

That's what my awesome 7 year old cousin asked us while we were taking emo photos, waiting on dinner. I think, at 7, he nailed it better than the rest of us.Thanksgiving was great. Made the world's most complicated mac-n-cheese recipe, baked a pie, snapped some beans, drank some delicious champagne and Zinfandel, rode a tire swing, and spent some much cherished time with the family.[The ...

Preparing Thanksgiving.

posted on , by Unknown

While Hilary is 'living' drinking and eating pizza, I have spent my afternoon cooking like a maniac, making center pieces, cleaning the house, setting the table for tomorrow. I am having few people over and the rare times I do, I go Italian all the way. It means that I become June Cleaver.Perplexed? Wearing Express Jeans, Tank top from Forever21, bare feet.

Nom Nom.

Off to eat some pizza and drink some beer! Tomorrow we celebrate things we are thankful for... like being an American. [Sadly at the expense of the Native Americans.] I am thankful to be American and I am thankful for food and drink and fashion and fun. More on my thanks tomorrow. Right now, I am leaving the computer to go live!My hair actually looks like a head on fire.Wearing a navy jumper ...

50-50.

posted on , by Unknown

meant to respond to Hilary's post Fatigued, but I had other things in my mind. I feel 50-50 on this 91 days journey. There are days in which the blog becomes an impostor. We are forced in a certain way to publicize our lives, our everyday looks. We are forced to wear different outfits, to think about the way we dress. After a long day at work when all you want to do is sip on that ...

A Hard Day's Night

posted on , by Unknown

You know how when you come home from work and strip off your worky wear and throw on some cool ripped jeans and a suede jacket and feel totally renewed? Too specific to be relatable? Bah. Well! That's exactly how I felt tonight. Still swimming in thick gooey workload and recovering from under the weatherness, but there is something about going from day to night that activates my spirit.Work ...

Love and hate for fashion. More hate than love.

posted on , by Unknown

I had to write this right away, even without posting my outfit for the day. I heard it few months ago, reheard about it yesterday and today I just got pissed off. Apparently, H&M (see scandal involving the company) and designer Lanvin (really not that great of a designer after all), teamed up to launch a cheap line available at H&M. The grand opening of the line was I think Saturday ...

Saturday Night...

...was action packed. New micro-brewery grand opening, 10 yr anniversary of our local hangout, wine festival, and football! I'd say that is a Saturday night for you, if there ever was one. We had fun at least. It was all very alchy-centric.I put on yesterday's outfit and photographed it tonight. I wore Dolce Vita moto boots, high-waisted denim shorts from Topshop, target paisley dress/top, ...

Fatigued.

posted on , by Unknown

I am getting burnt out on the picture taking, the posting, the incessant personally imposed demand that I pick out unique outfits every day!! It is Day 52... 29 days to go. We are definitely winding down to the end now... but there is still a long road ahead. I have to say that not shopping has really stopped bothering me almost completely. I have even been shopping a few times and haven't ...

I have got you under my skin.

posted on , by Unknown

Have you ever had a crush on a celebrity? Well, I am sure everyone had. I had many, but one was for Bono, U2. My friend Simona and I used to spend the afternoons after school watching videotapes of U2 concerts, videos and interviews on MTV. At the time MTV played music videos. Eventhought we knew how old Bono was compared to out age (16), we just could not avoid being captivated by his ...

Autumn Falling.

posted on , by Unknown

It feels like Autumn today. The leaves are changing colors even in Florida. I had my first serious meeting about my dissertation topic. I thought I had everything figured out and I came out of the meeting lost and confused in a good way. There are so many possibilities out there, so many approaches I can use. But which one? I like what my professor told me. He said to pick what I am most ...
