Fargone Fargo

Bear Skull Cap Delia's. Ashley Jacket. F21 Vest Bargain Bin. Old Navy Gray Sweater.Dollhouse Jeans.Frye Boots

Normally Gotham stays a little bit further to the side to where the camera can't capture him but today, my handsome dog wanted to be in the photo. Teehee... so adorably regal.

We have snow! All 0.25 inch of it! Almost a good reason to dress up all Fargo-like. Where's my woodchipper...

Chillin' like a...well, you know.

Heritage F21 Knitted Long Coat. Paris Blues Jeans. Rue 21 Sweater. Steve Madden Boots.Thrifted Belt.

I love wearing long coats. It gives me that whole villainy flair. Whenever I wear them I mentally say things like "Take them to the dungeon!" or "No one is coming to rescue you, my pretty..." followed by maniacal chortles.

This long coat is thin enough for 11th hour escapes but warm enough for when I am exiled to Siberia for my nefarious plots. I love being bundled up every now and then but some days no matter how arctic for me, still call for thin but warm blizzard wear. Speaking of which, we might get snow or some semblance of it this weekend...and I am just going to lament the fact that I let a pair of Fluevog snow boots escape my clutches.

Bundled Up In Hue

Rue 21 Red Corduroy Down Jacket. Embroidered Mandarin Vest H&M.Hydraulic Jeans.Tent Sweater Derek Heart.Wear It Declare It Thermal. Frye Boots

Bundled up in joy, can you tell? That's four layers of clothing. This is probably one of my favorite mixes and color combination. I love that vest. It's a staple to me, how can it not be, it just screams folkloric!

Thad in his London Fog jacket, giving me warm kisses to brave the cold is part of the ensemble. Somehow we look like an anime couple. Kyaaa!!!He's bending too low and me tilting my head too high because I'm too short and chibi-like. Feeling all warm and fuzzy now ^_^

Crappy Chiaroscuro

Vintage Blouse ebay.Michael Star Sweater gifted by Squeezy Peters. Delias Jeans.Vintage lace up boots. Love Culture Belt. F21 necklace

I suck at speed photography. Not a whole lot of good shots come out when I am in a hurry. This is actually the best out of the crappy bunch. Lighting is poor but you get the general idea of what I have on. I have worn that belt before in my past post titled Teal Me Something.

Print detail on blouse. Elephant ring from Rue 21

Trying to recover from an allergy attack is not as bad as trying to shake off the remnants of sleep brought to you by Benadryl or Valium both efficacious in bringing about the Sandman in 6 seconds flat. My hypothalamus seems to create a force field when I take Loretab though because I'd be up all night. I think I'm falling asleep again. Maybe I am sleep typing.

The Incredible Shrinking Sweater

That Merona wool sweater says LARGE on the tag but me, the absent minded laundress shrunk it in the dryer. Thad chuckled when he handed it to me saying it was rightfully mine now. I've always wanted a brown argyle sweater and by stroke of stupidity, I gained one. I'm wearing my trade badge :-) the artist palette brooch. I love it so much! Ms. Marilyn gifted me that. The paints are all gem stones. Oh and the Saints won! Wooot! I wasn't following the game because I was watching my anime but I knew they won the minute the fireworks started and in a span of about 2 minutes, there was a full blown mini block party in my neighborhood. I can't help but feel celebratory. So yay!

Thad bought me my new scent last Saturday. Daisy by Marc Jacobs silver edition!!! I'm feeling kind of spoiled. Thank you, bibikeef!

This Is What Brown Is Doing For Me

Cardigan F21. Paris Blues Jeans $24.Nine West Boots.Brown Top gifted.Necklace Gadzooks. Bracelets Ayala Mall Cebu

I'm just going to pretend you miss me for the past two days :-P Work has been keerazy and I haven't been feeling too good and it shows on the kind of clothes I wear. Also, I'm not too inspired to do anything fun when I'm (wanting to be) convalescent. I've had that necklace for 3 years but this is the first time I've worn it because I couldn't find anything to go with it. Moral of the story, hold on to that coral pink cardigan.
There's a lot of hoopla going on about the Saints game this Sunday. So indifferent to it that I just learned that is when it's going to be. Somebody at work commented "Poor girl..." when I asked them when the game was and I mildly retorted "No, I'm fine, really." I don't hate the game or the team, I just couldn't care less and just because they're going to the Superbowl doesn't mean I have to jump in the bandwagon and become an instant fan. I don't poser much. But I'm happy for the Saints. I hope they win. If not, I'd still be watching anime...and nobody cares about that. ^_^

Bloomsbury Belle


And it is cold again...No one really knows what weather Louisiana decides to have. The weather report is a myth. That's why I can never plan my wardrobe ahead except for this coat. The only reason I was looking forward to Monday was this coat. It was a long overdue project that I finally finished that I now got to wear :D The coat was too plain Jane so I appliqued the flowery print corduroy bib on it.

The hat, and pardon me for the crappy photo is a granny square hat I designed myself and had someone from etsy.com make for me. I am totally in love with that hat...so much that I have another one made in different coloration.

I decided to title this after the Group who did nothing but wrote poetry and had affairs with each other. It has nothing to do with my wardrobe except that there's flowers on my chest and head :-)
