Clothed Much?

Fashion blogger Elaine from Clothed Much is flat-out AMAZING!!!
How on earth did I not find this blog till now?!?!?!






She has such a great, simple style and I can't wait to steal some ideas from her :) 

Are there anymore amazing blogs out there that I'm completely ignorant of?

Four Eyes

My eye sight has gotten worse and worse over the years. I've been in denial for a long time (I even "lost" my old glasses at one point). But finally, after hogging the front seats in all of my classes for the past few years, I broke down and went to see Uncle Eric (my uncle/optometrist). Diagnosis: one eye is near-sighted, one is far-sighted.... dumb, I know. Anyway, it finally came to that dreaded time where I had to choose the goggles. Now, I like accessories, don't get me wrong, but this is an expensive one that is a huge decision. I mean, it goes directly on your face. Can't hide it. So, I took a cue from these waaaay cute french girls...

... and went the "Geek Chic" route. Plus, I think I'll actually wear the suckers!




Hope everyone's week is going well! I started classes today and I'm thinking this is going to be a good semester. Hopefully not as taxing as the last. I'll be taking another painting course this semester so I'll be posting pics throughout the months on my projects. Good luck to everyone who is headed back to school/work!

The French

What's with them? Seriously. How on earth do they do it? Are they just born with extremely good fashion genes or do they take a pill for their impeccable style? I look at a lot of fashion and design blogs and the french always look effortlessly amazing. They even make sweats and a t-shirt look super chic. So this is my plan. I'm gonna try to incorporate some of the Frenchy style into my everyday wardrobe. I've got some of the "french" staples; scarves, stripes, and a fourth of my wardrobe consisting of the color black. So this is a good start. Now if I could just find that pill...

Online Shopping


My friend, Steph, and I had a discussion the other day about online shopping... she's for it, I'm against it. I usually have the worst luck with things fitting right when I order online and she's got all the luck. But last night I was sitting on Old Navy's website and came across this really cute jacket.





And I needed a light jacket for the fall and it just looks precious! And it was on sale! (I hardly ever by things full price.) So I took the plunge and put in my credit card number. So now I'm waiting... and in about 9 days I should know if my online shopping experience was good or bad. I'll post pics when I get it in! Do any of you have a good or bad online shopping experience that you'd like to share?
