Geek in the Pink

How goof-tastic these pink glasses?  This pair was a graduation gift from a work colleague.  The challenge: how to incorporate them in a tasteful manner without looking too silly.  Sometimes... you just have to be silly.

Striped Tie - WARBLERS

I am very inspired by menswear. There is something very charming about tie clips, bow ties, etc. I found this prized, striped tie in a small, college bookstore.


Who loves Glee? I especially love the Warblers and wanted to sing Teenage Dream the entire day. Now, where to find the red piped blazer....

Sailor Moon

Keeping things simple and sweet with minimal accessories. I'm digging how the collar on this dress is vaguely reminiscent of Sailor Moon. This dress received mixed reviews from friends and classmates. The "OHMYGOD I love your DRESS!" compliments and "Not a big fan" comments were about equal. What do you think?

Happy Thursday! :)

Dress: Birthday Gift from Aili; from a local boutique

MBA Celebration

Awww yeah - totally had a classic graduation party! Tons of delicious food, drinks, face cake and good company.

Face Cake: An essential graduation item.

This is my lovely sister-in-law (new mom!) and buddy, Brian.

Family Portrait

I chose this simple black dress that I found last year. I bought it at full price and have worn it one other time. My friend, Sarah, always sasses me... asking why I never wear my black dress since she hasn't seen the ROI on the amount I paid and the amount times I've worn it :). Second appearance = totally worth it.
