Little Boy Blue

blouse: H&M, sweater: thrifted, trousers: eight sixty from Nordstrom, shoes: Dollhouse from DSW

Yesterday was a lovely lazy, rainy day and I spent it catching up on TV & sleep and loved it!  Stayed in my PJ's all day and went to bed early.  If only I could have extended that through today, but no.  I had work.  And a very important audition!  I had my audition for Brecht's Threepenny Opera at Seattle Shakes today and it went super-well!  All parties there (the casting director, director of the show & music director) all seemed uber-impressed and congratulated me after I finished my song, Weill's "Stranger Here Myself"!  *le sigh*  I really hope I get a callback!  I super wanna do that show!  At least that was a good first step...

Rehearsal for 4-hours tonight and then seriously crashing out.  I forget how much it takes out of me to have an audition in the middle of the day.  The thought of rehearsing after work tonight is not exactly making me happy, but I know that the second I get there, it changes.  This show (and my character, in particular) is so high energy, that I get pumped up even if I'm low energy when I get there...

Also, I have gotten SO many compliments on my shoes today!  I need to wear these more often.  They are so cute and fun and I just forget about them.  But in weather like this, they are perfect.  Plus, they are really comfy since the heel is so chunky.  I need to remember to break them outta my closet more that once or twice a season...

Also, my new Michael Kors purse is supposed to arrive tomorrow!  w00t!!!

Let's Do It Again

jeans: current/elliot from Nordstrom, tank: kimchi blue for Urban, sweater: Parfait from Nordstrom, shoes: Seychelles from Nordstrom

Heading out to meet with Patrick on the Hill after his show gets out, so I changed into something a little bit cuter...  Not sure what we'll do but I cannot wait to see him!  w00t!!!

No plans for tomorrow yet, probably gonna just hangout and do nada and honestly, cannot WAIT!  It's supposed to be warm but rainy so a lazy day at home might be exactly what I need.

Green with Envy

jeans: current/elliot from Nordstrom, tee: Threadless, sandals: Steve Madden from Nordstrom Rack

Rocked it at rehearsal today!  Those four scenes just might be my favs and I had a lot of fun with them.  Plus it was a great excuse to get outta my house and enjoy the absolutely GORGEOUS weather today!  Plus, I mean, how fun is it to have a few more hot days to wear sandals before the winter weather kicks in?  Heart it!

I also got a new manicure (in candy apple red--oh yeah!) because honestly, I just think Candy needs to have bright red nails.  It's a character choice and I like it!  Then I wandered around shopping.  Ultimately looking for a wig and black shorts for my Halloween costume since the rest of it arrived in the mail the other day (w00t), but finding this amazing alice + olivia dress that was SUPER on sale, just not on sale enough to buy it... le sigh...

Last night I did end up going to Docot In Spite of Himself and holy CRAP it was hilarious!  I was literally laughing throughout the whole show.  So glad I was able to see it before it closed.  It was so nice to see an entire cast having fun onstage.  Plus, it was was so over-the-top and clearly improvised so that when actors broke it just made it better.

Horse of a Different Color

shirt: H&M, vest: WOW Couture from Mod Cloth, jeans: bdg for Urban, shoes: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, Accessories: black & silver bracelets, long black beaded necklace, metal feathered earrings, giant black cocktail ring

I feel like since I completely forgot to wear any accessories yesterday, I am kind of overcompensating today, but I'm OK with it.  They all work, so it's a good thing.What you kinda can't see is that the vest is totally sequined!  I heart it!  Despite the fact that it scratches the shizz outta my arms... I still heart it!

Badminton Royale was completely and utterly ridiculous.  And come on!  Mirror Pond for $1?  Loves it!  The costumes and team spirit and cheers?  So funny!  Glad I went.  Also, glad they decided to move it all inside... that could have been miserable, even though the weather did clear up around 4...  But definitely fun times.  And nice to see a TON of people I haven't in a long while... le sigh.  It all begins again.

I still have plans to see a show tonight... I just don't know which one yet... Def leaning toward Doctor In Spite of Himself, but it depends on if they give a TPS discount and if they have any tickets left (it IS a Fri night, after all...) and they've been getting great reviews (minus the Stranger).  Who knows though, if that doesn't work out I might just curl up with Catching Fire or Freaks & Geeks and do nothing... THAT also sounds loverly.

Saturday I have le yoga, then rehearsal, then... another plannless evening.  Maybe another show?  I have to kill time and keep myself awake because Patrick & I have plans to hangout after Glass Menagerie gets out that night (I'd go see that, but Sara and I already made plans to see it once her show closes)!  HOORAY! I misses my lover from the summer!

Also, after hearing how cute yesterday's pants were from multiple people, I no longer think I resembled either a sausage or Jessica Simpson.  Thanks for the ego boost, peeps!

Super 70s

tank: Bellatrix from Nordstrom, sweater: Halogen from Nordstrom, jeans: j brand from RueLaLa, shoes: Very Volatile from DSW

OK, so to be honest, I'm not quite sure about these jeans.  They are new and I bought them online and I probably should have bought them one size up, but I was thinking (and now HOPING) they might stretch.  I am actually quite terrified that I look like this in them (DEAR GOD, PLEASE SAY I DON'T!), so... really hoping they stretch...  At least they're a darker denim, right?  God, I don't wanna look like a sausage...  I do feel epically tall though.  And, according to Vogue, lengthening the look is HUGE this fall, so I got that going for me!

Seriously, in need of the weekend... counting down.

New: Purse

Michael Michael Kors XL North/South Hamilton Tote

This beauty should be on its way to me soon!  As I prepare to return the AMAZINGness that was my Tory Burch Dafina Tote which lasted me 2 months and never got old, I can only hope that this Michael Kors bag can live up to its predecessor.  Also it's the first non-leather bag I've ordered, so I hope that I don't kill the shizz outta it... I have faith!

Fallin' Slowly

shirt: Papaya, tank: Costco, jeans: bdg for Urban, boots: MIA from Nordstrom Rack, accessory:  jeweled bracelet

First day of off-book rehearsal went surprisingly well (with all of my 6 or 7 lines, but STILL!) although I am a little nervous for tonight since we're doing scenes we haven't worked yet, and, well, it's hard to be off book for something you don't have in your body yet.  At least, it is for me... I have high hopes though.  The show is so well-written (thanks, Rachel!) that it's pretty easy to memorize.  Plus, these are some FUN scenes!

Another funny thing, we rehearsed at SCT yesterday and there was totes evidence that someone had been practicing for OtB's Badminton Royale in our rehearsal room!  There was a net, a print out of a regulation badminton court and 4 rackets.  I was amused.  People are really taking this thing seriously this year!  I just hope the weather cooperates because I'm not sure if I can motivate myself to go and cheer in the rain...

I did end up at yoga last night and was supes excited I ended up going.  I am plenty sore today, but all in a good way.  Plus now I can go do whatevs I want tomorrow and not feel guilty.  w00t!  I def got to yoga RIGHT at a SUPER good part in my book though, so I almost skipped it to sit somewhere and read, but I sucked it up and went to yoga knowing that my reward would be some french fries from Dicks before rehearsal (worth it!) and I got them.  And they were good (been craving some since mama wouldn't let me get any when we stopped at DQ on the way home from Walla Walla...)!

PS I wanted to correct the title of the second Hunger Games book I talked about in the last post (already fixed it there).  It is actually called Catching Fire.  I am stupid and didn't check... So, for future reference now you know.

Also, just to let everyone know, I am doing a little experiment with my (long-ass) bangs.  I am going to see how long I can let them grow before SNAPPING and cutting them all off... We'll call this Day 1.  Plus, today is the first official day of fall, so it seems fitting somehow...
