This was my outfit for our Industry Nite of Bernarda Alba. Yay!

Rebuilt

blouse: Anthropologie, sweater: Parfait from Nordstrom, jeans: J Brand from RueLaLa, wedges: Cooperative form Urban, accessories: Relic watch, gifted crest necklace, Cost Plus earrings

I wore this to day 2 of jury duty. And seriously? Everyone who complained about jury duty can suck it. I had a GREAT time! One of the first groups grabbed, chosen for my first jury, in and outta there in 1.5 days and dismissed by lunch of the second day!

It was loverly. But seriously? The prosecuting attorney was sooo incompetent. He must have been super green because the judge had to prompt him about things constantly and he always seemed scattered with his nose in his notes... Needless to say, we came back with a "not guilty" verdict...

Nice, also, to find out that I have a day off tomorrow and that Starbucks will reimburse me for my jury duty days! Yay!

Back to Trojan Women tonight! Here we go!

Tick of Time

dress: Anthropologie, socks: Ann Taylor, boots: Report Signature from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted crest necklace, Enerjewels earrings

I wore this to my Wooden O audition yesterday. Then to Pygmalion. I had a great audition and enjoyed a fun show. Before I went to get a show on of my own.

I wore this out Saturday night to see R&G at SPT and to hangout with Dani & Nathaniel for their birthdays and all my UW peeps. SO MUCH FUN! I miss them!

Run Along

I wore this out to my show on Thursday night. I was just so happy to have a day off the next day that I decided to dress up! YAY!

La Vie Boheme

tee: H&M, pants: Anthropologie, heels: H&M, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, long beaded black necklace, Cost Plus leaf earrings

And then, I wore this over to my RENT audition at the 5th. Yesh. It has been a crazy week. Super excited to don my Bellatrix costume again tonight for one last Halloween party and to really enjoy tomorrow OFF.  I head back to work on Wed, but don't open again until Fri, so that sweet respite will be much needed. YAY!

PS If I ever decide to go and yell at a football game the day before a BIG audition again, will someone just slap me and say "No! NO!"?  Thanks!

Look After You

blouse: Anthropologie, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: Tom's from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, Marilyn earrings

This is what I wore to my first day of rehearsal for c.1993 at Annex and final performance of The Tempest.  Ended up going out real quick Friday night with Alyssa and a friend of hers but getting home early and getting a good full night's sleep (for the first time in a long time) and it felt glorious.

La mama and the family all came to our final performance and I was so super excited to see all of their smiling faces out there in the audience.  Yay for a fab closing matinee and then a number of The Tempest cast hanging out to watch A&C and drink. Fun times.

Booking It

blouse: H&M, trousers: Elevenses from Anthropologie, flats: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, accessories: black and silver beaded bracelets, Relic watch, long black beaded necklace, mirror earrings, gifted rings

Getting ready to head out to my Book-It audition today (doing a piece from Game of Thrones and I kinda love it).  Nice to have a Monday off.  Then back to relax a bit more before heading out to rehearsal.

Three opening shifts in a row Tues-Thurs... blearg. Preparing myself mentally.  At least they are all pretty damn short.

Column

blouse: gifted, trousers: Anthropologie, oxfords: Pour la Victoire from Shoe Fly (RIP), belt: gifted from Nordstrom, accessories: red beaded bracelet, thrifted pearl necklace, pearl drop earrings, new haircut & color!, cameo: new picture hanging on wall! 

Whew!  Yesterday was a DOOSY! Besides working for half a day and doing the company lunch thing, PLUS getting my hair cut/colored, I also managed to squeeze a trip to HSBC to get a new checking account and credit card underway (finally--YAY!!!!) as well as pick up some make up at Sephora AND stop by the library to drop off/pick up cd's.  Oh and then I came home and decorated my apartment.  Yeah, that's right, I AM a rock star.

Seriously, though, you all should come see how NICE the apartment looks now.  It's like we actually LIVE there!  w00t!

Can't wait for tonight!  Should be fun times take the parentals out for their Xmas gifty (no telling--yet!) and spending time with the whole gaggle (oh, how organized we all are--haha!).  Let's just hope we all make it there in one piece.  And on time.  I aim high...

PS Pam, if you were wondering about the dress code for tonight, I hope that this helps a bit!

PPS Check out my super cute finger nails!

alternating red and green with gold sparkles!

Sophisticated Sartorialist

tee: Language from Anthropologie, blazer: thrifted Dior, jeans: H&M, shoes:  Dankso from Nordstrom

Oh the cuts hurt, but were Oh so worth it!  Last night's run through of act 1 was SO much tighter and just all around better!  w00t!  This show is really shaping up nicely and I totes think that we will be ready to open in a few weeks. Now, of course, I have to get down to the business of re-memorizing all my lines with all the changes...blearg!  It'll be worth it, though!

I get to hit up yoga tonight since I'm not called until 750 and I will also, hopefully, be picking up the last component to my Halloween costume on my lunch today (supposed to be delivered to the deli next door and I just hope it's there before I take my late lunch so I can grab it, otherwise...I dunno when I can...).  Getting ish done!  That's my motto today!

Statuesque

My massage last night really made me realize how much that accident messed with my body. Super-boo! She really worked on my uppershoulders and neck (to say that I'm sore today would be quite an understatement) and found places that were tight, probably from the accident, that even I didn't realize were a little off (my inside left shoulder where it meets my arm, I know, right?! RANDOM!)... Anyway, she says it's probably going to take way more than 2 massages to get rid of this gook--boo... I have another one next week to see how I am faring, hopefully I will be all healed?

This morning I was about 3/4 of the way ready to leave when I remembered we have prospective clients coming into the office, so I had to completely change what I was planning on wearing... And I love it! It is so much better than the outfit I almost wore! Sometimes desperation in fashion leads to the BEST combos.

I totally heart these elevensea high waisted, wide-leg black pants with buttons down the left side bought on sale at Anthropologie (and I don't wear them enough!) which I am wearing with my fuchsia BCBG maxazaria top and Linea Paolo grommeted flats from Nordys and my thrifted 3/4 length black cardigan. I am also wearing my Express silver cuff and giant black cocktail ring.

Tonight I get a little spa treat for myself (it is my week off, so I deserve it) and then head up to the hill for a little FFOK later on. Rock it! I am now a Princess of FFOK, so w00t!

Summer in the City

Summer has returned to Seattle with a vengeance! Today will be the third day in a row that it's in the 90's and I, for one, think it is glorious!

Yesterday I spent a few hours in air conditioning while I was ushering for and then watching The Belle of Amherst and, while I knew that it would be a one-woman show, I somehow didn't make the connection about how amazing it was to watch one person carry an entire 2-hour show onstage the whole time... basically by herself (she had a cellist onstage too, but he never spoke). And Maria Glanz--HOLY CRAP! I feel like I need to just inhale her talent. She seriously made that show, which really didn't have all that much plot, bounce along at a very loverly speed. I was very glad that I was able to catch its remounted production and feel like it is such a valuable tool for me as I attempt to write my own one-person cabaret... someday...

After the show we headed over to Ken's for the end of the season BBQ where we all ate and talked and drank and played croquet for four(-ish) loverly hours. It was such a great send-off on such a gorgeous summer day. Seeing everyone one last time all together was good closure, although I am sure that the post-partum isn't going to kick in until I realize that I have no shows this weekend. That and I better effing see my As Yous again... It they disappear from my life I will not a be a happy Gina... not at all...

Somehow (still not exactly sure how), a few of us ended up at Hula Hula post-BBQ for some karaoke. I thoroughly enjoyed singing 3 ballads (since none are allowed @ FFOK, I have to get my fill elsewheres) and seriously figured out that Jewel's Foolish Games is a HAWT song for me to sing. DAMN! That was a good one. I also rocked a little Eva Cassidy "Songbird" and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" (do you realize how many times you say "I know" in that song? Yeah, I didn't either...) I made new friends and reconnected with old and gotta sing some karaoke. Besides the skany-ass bachelorette party and skeezy guy from Louisiana who sang ONLY country songs, it was good times...

Today I get to go see Scott Pilgrim after work, tomorrow I get a haircut, & Wed/Thurs I get a massage... ah... Good time off for sheezy!

Yesterday I work my teal kimchi blue ruffle front tank from UO and edme & esyllte from Anthropologie polka dotted and striped skirt with my white Seychelles sailor slingbacks from Nordys. I also grabbed my navy & white polka dotted parfait sweater also from Nordys in case it got cold. I only needed inside in the AC for the play...

Skirting the Issue

Glorious Summer!

Two more rehearsals... TWO! Yikes!

But, the Oranjemen (starring my boyfriend) won yesterday, so all I have to do is hope that Paul is wrong (DAMN YOU, PAUL!) and that Germany can pull it off against Spain today! And then...only be able to watch the first hour of the final game on Sun... BOO! Stupid matinée... But I can watch all of the losers' match on Sat? How is that better... Scheduling shows during the World Cup, come on people! GO GERMANY! PS just MIGHT watch the rematch of today's game on ESPN3 so I can enjoy the MASSIVE amounts of pretty that are the German and the Spanish national teams--ridic!

Today for the gloriousness that is 89 degree weather, I am wearing my edme & esyllte teal polka-dot and navy striped skirt from Anthropologie, grey ruffle front Fossil tank and Columbia flip flops. I also threw on my black cap sleeve sweater from Macys for "office appropriateness"

Today was awesome! Had wonderful birthday dinner with my mama and seestor and lovely dessert too! w00t! Food is amazing. That is all. Food=yummers. I would, seriously, spend budget my income so that food=priority (even at the expense of clothes, shoes, fashion-I KNOW, but food is so good).

For the awesome food-ventures I wore my F21 black pencil skirt and zebra print belt, thrifted Dior black suit jacket, grey Anthropologie ruffle blouse, gifted fishnet stockings and black Steve Madden slouch boots.

Polka-Dotted

Whew! Man, the only thing getting me through today is the fact that the weather is absolutely gorgeous!

It is now officially opening night (crazy!) and I am so excited. I can't wait to get a full audience in there to enjoy what we have created.

I'm wearing an Edme & Esyllte teal polka-dotted and navy striped white skirt (with pockets!) from Anthropologie and grey low cut back Pitaya tee with my Seychelles polka dot wedges from Nordys.

I am loving the sunshine. Stay here forever now. kthxbye.

Suspended Motion

So today's the day. Moving day... Yipes! But first, work, voice lesson AND taking apart my futon frame--let's hope I can find my allen wrench.

Wearing my H&M wide leg trousers, black BDG saddle shoes from Urban, teal sweatheart neckline Anthropologie tee and black American Apparel suspenders. Also wearing my multi-colored bracelet and my everyday silver earrings.

PS check out how great my hair looks! Can we all say good hair day? w00t!
