Your favorite tour guide

Like the new banner? I do. It came from this day of photographs (obviously). Flannel is so fun.


flannel: thrifted
black denim: levi's
black thermal: aa
tassel boots: aldo

My sister's boyfriend's friends from Detroit were visiting SF and my sister and I had the pleasure of giving them the grand tour.
It was a crazy day, we went from Pier 39 to the Palace of Fine Arts to Ocean Beach to crepes. If anyone hasn't made the trip to California's Bay Area, plan to make it as soon as possible. This is really one of the world's most beautiful cities. Anyway, here are some fun photos from the day:

What sign are you? You should know.

Was at a kickback the other night. Fooling around with my camera and here's the outfit of the night. I was originally wearing something else, but you know how fun it is to comb through your friend's closet. All my friends are home for the summer and it's going to be fun times all around.



plaid top (borrowed): old navy
jean skinnies: target
black boots: gifted (from same friend!)

Sorry, the photo is kinda funny, I was messing with micro.

Oh, Cincinnati, OH

One of my co-workers is leaving! I'm actually replacing her once she moves back to Cincinnati, yay for my promotion, boo for a losing her to Ohio.


American Apparel:

black drawstring dress

tri-athletic gray tank top

white gladiator sandals (tj maxx)

cute scarf around the ankle!

nice tan (weekend camping at a lake)

You have now seen two pairs of cute shoes from Marshalls/TJ Maxx on my blog. Remember the cute brown victorian booties I got from Marshalls? Thought I'd ice the cake here with this video, it's a commercial I'm sure you all have seen but I crack up every time!:

This day was a gift

creme sequined polyester bubble top (tucked in): charlotte russe
5-button high-waisted jeans: f21
wistful opaque over-the-knee cable knit socks: aa
brown victorian booties: marshalls

I guess I'm sort of giving in to the high-waisted phenomena. A bit too late, I'm sure.
These pants are pretty forever-21 typical, and I'm not totally into that.
The back side is a little underwhelming, maybe I can reform them.
I thrifted them for ten dollars and decided to give them a chance. I guess I'm willing to research my wearing of them from now on.

Today was my last final, and an all-you-can-eat luncheon with my newspaper staff. It was too much fun. I wish everyone could have made it. Here is a pretty funny photo of the group:

The sometimes unwanted attention short-shorts

Another day at American Apparel:
black deep v tee shirt
black high waisted side-zipper twill shorts
wistful opaque over-the-knee cable knit socks
black boots (gifted from a bffl)

I wore a jean jacket over this outfit on my way to work. So 90's. And it doesn't bother me. 

Once I left work, however, to go to school.. my shorts felt too small and I was a little ashamed. 

I may get another pair one size up to wear in public. 

Sorry about that second photo, I thought it was going to turn out a lot cooler looking. Now I see it so big, it looks sort of pathetic.

But you GOTTA love the side zippers :D But, I warn you, don't unzip them- it looks too silly.
