Little Bird

blouse: Old Navy, trousers: Express, shoes: LA Gear gifted (and now dead), accessories: long teal earrings

I worked a loooong and busy opening shift this morning on shoes that broke half way through my walk to work.  Boo.  Officially broke through the sole of the left shoe.  They are now in the trash.  It was a long day and I can hear my throat starting to be a bit bothersome, so I tea'd it up all day (even now and have been rocking a scarf too.  Keep my throat warm and protected.  Tried not to talk too much, but, well...that never really works as a barista. I think I need to buy a humidifier, but I keep forgetting to stop by Bed, Bath & Beyond to see how much they run...

Then I hit up the pilates mat class and, as promised, there was lots of ab work, but it was only 45 min, so probs I'll still be trying to make yoga, whenever possible. It's a good back-up though.

Heading back to the show tonight.  Callback went SUPER well last night, so my fingers are crossed.  Haven't heard anything yet, though, so I still have plans to head to the Annex callback tonight right after the show ends... And then BOOK IT to HARRY! Whew!  Busy times!

Bacon-Flavored Life

tee: Rubbish from BP for Nordstrom, tank: Costco, sweater: Mod Cloth, scarf: gifted, pants: Jolt from Nordstrom, shoes: LA Gear (scavenged from the dregs of Lindy's closet

So, I am pretty sure that these pants are officially dying.  Getting thin on the inner thigh on both sides... blearg.  Also dead: the Zigi Soho boots I wore yesterday (the right one has officially worn through the soles)... My next big splurge will be a pair of super-nice Frye boots about the same height as those ones that died, but 100% better quality.  That's the goal, at least.

Love, love, LOVED Merry Wives last night!  And, although, I wasn't necessarily prepared to, it was a more than welcome surprise.  Perfect casting, loverly style (super-traditional Shakespearion) and a really clean cut.  It was also the first time I saw that show onstage (marking another one off the list--yeah, that's right, Lonestar Love does NOT count). Definitely glad I threw that thing into my crazy-ass day.

I didn't get home (to la mama's, that is) until around 11 last night and the poor little Buggie was so in need of some luvin', so I gave her a pretty long walk and fed her and then passed OUT!  Looooong day.

Today, I apparently needed a good night's sleep because my alarm did not go off and I full on slept until 11am!  I only woke up because the Bug came into the room as in "LET'S GET UP AND GO!", so I did!  Took her on a ridic long walk and fed her and then hungout with her in the (furniture-less) TV room (Food Network--HELLO!) until the fah-zha picked me up and I helped him run some errands before heading back to the house and working on wedding prep with Jacki.  Another good day in a crazy times week.

Tomorrow, I am getting a haircut!  THANK THE GODS!  I need one soooo badly (look. at. the. bangs!). Gonna try to yoga beforehand and possibly ballet tomorrow night.  And then on Wednesday, I start work.  Yay! New job!

Professional Courtesy

button-up: Express, sweater: Mod Cloth, jeans: BDG for Urban, boots: thrifted, accessory: black beaded necklace

Just heard that I am not called for rehearsal until 8-ish giving me just enough time to hit up yoga & shower before heading up the Hill!  Supes happy about that.  I am guessing that this will be the last yoga opp before we open so I am ON IT!  I didn't bring my stuff with me though (of course), so I'm gonna run home on my lunch to pack everything up for this night...

I feel like I look super young in my pictures today.  Dunno why.  Maybe it's the outfit.  Or the smile.  I like it.  I just feel like I look about 5 years younger... and it's odd.  Also, I'm pretty sure that the boots that I am wearing are dead.  The right one has a hole in the bottom and the back of both of them is worn away so if it rains my feetsies get soaked.  They were thrifted (to replace other grey booties that died) for only like $20, but I am loath to get rid of them before finding another replacement...

Side Swept

tee: Fluxus from Nordstrom, jeans: bdg for Urban, bolero:  H&M, shoes: vintage (thrifted), accessories: black beaded necklace, ring from Argentina (thanks Dad!)

Friday, at last.  Thank the gods!  Glass Menagerie tonight with Carrie then onto Jake's bday party near my old place in Greenlake.  And tomorrow?  The WORLD (but really, it's just our first stumble through of the show, ya know, no biggie--WAIT!  OUR FIST STUMBLE THRU--HOLY CATNIP, BATMAN!!!!!!)!

My shoes are slowly dying (I heart them--thrifted in college from Red Light, I think) and I have to re-super glue the sole of the left one, but for right now it's double sided tape to the rescue!

I wanna get brunch tomorrow before rehearsal, any takers?  Portage Bay (in SLU) 9 or 930am?  So that I am well-fed and ready to rock the show?  And the M's game after?  Anyone? ...Anyone...?  Bueller?

Also, not so sure how I feel about these side-swept bangs... Thoughts?

You Kill Clothes, pt 2

These died on the walk from my apartment to Volunteer Park on Saturday for the final As You performance... A good two years... And now no more.

COVET

A new 160gb ipod classic.

So, about 2 months ago my gorgeous, lovely 3-year-old black ipod classic died. It started "running out of battery" really quickly (especially if I was changing songs a lot), but after a few hours would be fine again. Then it had sad ipod face (literally. That's what it's called) a few times, but plugging it in would jar it back to working. And sometimes it would say that it wasn't compatible with my speaker dock (it was). Then, as I said, about 2 months ago... permanent sad ipod face. Now if I plug it into my computer or dock it makes this terrible tick-tick-ticking noise, gets really hot and still has sad ipod face after hours and hours... And, yes, I have tried to go to apple.com/support/ipod, but it has not helped. Basically, I think after three years of everyday usage, it is dead. And I'm OK with it.

But I want a new one. My little square 8gb ipod nano (which doesn't even exist anymore) just isn't cutting it for me. 500 songs? I want to be able to fit 40,000! Solution: 160gb black ipod classic. And my bday is coming up (hint, hint!)

You Kill Clothes, Don't You?

When I was getting ready to move, I started to catalog all of the clothes I have worn through or "killed" with too much wear. Below are the repercussions, including too many shes to count.

They are now all in the landfill somewhere. RIP lovelies...

Long Time No See

It was the move, I promise. I still love you, bloggers! And now that I am all in my new place (w00t!), I will be able to get back to the important blogging everyday. Two whole days off... Whew! I feel like I killed a baby or something... no good...

There were also a series of events that all coincided in a maelstrom of perfect timing that kept me from posting as well. A of all there was the move (of course), B of all the lack of teh internetz (due to A) and C of all the dead camera batteries made more difficult due to A (and the fact tat I had no idea where I packed them...). But now I am a work (internet!) and my camera has batteries (huzzah!), but I'm not gonna be able to add pictures until I get home because we still have no internetz... But 2 outta 3 is not bad!

Today, due to the post-packing, -moving, -unpacking exhaustion, I am wearing my (new to me) black Jolt fake jeans from BP (I had a pair that I bought in November and wore ALL THE TIME. Recently, they started to rip and then the zipper broke, but Nordstrom replaced them for freezies--why I love the Nordstrom!), Urban screen print flower tee, pink A&E cardigan and Sperry Top-Siders.

Pics when I get home? I dunno... I all depends on teh internetz...

Awwww...

She's wearing my old H&M "leather" jacket... I wish that one wasn't falling apart.

...Nostalgia...

Sleeves of the Grey Hoodie

I really love this 10+ year old hoodie. I think I bought it when I was 12 or something and it is absolutely destroyed, but perfect to wear under short sleeve shirts when I'm heading out to enjoy a sports game in the cooler weather (like today).

But check out how ripped to shreds the sleeves are...

Outerwear

Yoga and rehearsal felt long today... That and it took me forever to figure out how to set the self timer on my camera (no more pictures in mirrors if I can help it), but I am finally home and I got my camera to work!

The outerwear component of today's outfit. New H&M side zip "leather" jacket (my old one, also H&M, died a terrible death--I still have it and will share its demise with all of you sometime... I wore the shit out of it for 2 years), maroon pashmina bought in London and grey fedora bought somewhere on Capital Hill.

I told you all I love hats, but the real reason I own so many is that I have the smallest head ever (seriously), so whenever I try on a hat that fits, I come to the conclusion that I have to buy it and so I do. And now I have quite a large collection...
