9/16/13 #MenswearMonday

I'm baaaaack! 

So sorry to neglect y'all this past week. I was doing my civic duty and serving on a very intense jury for the city of Black Hawk aka we had to decide if some kid was drunk driving or not and I argued with two guys for like 5 hours in deliberation and it was AWESOME and we deadlocked and I like to attribute the upkeeping of our local judicial system to myself-but that's a whole other story for another blog.

Oh, and let's be honest, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN KINDA SLACKING, TOO. Although the cooler weather has seemed to help. You know, scarves and boots and such are being dusted off. So. Keep up the good effort. Pat pat.

I'd like to show the guys a little love on this beautiful day with another Menswear Monday!

This cool kid is Li Cheng, an English Major joining our campus from China! Unfortunately, his wardrobe is as well. Womp. All of his amazing pieces (that shirt, that bag!!) are from stores in China that he said are not available in the U.S. Looks like you're on your own to draw inspiration from this look, guys! And you should, because Li is killin' it.

9/4/13 Easy Breezy (finally!) pt. 2

I was lucky to enjoy a very non-laborious Labor Day with one of my old friends, and of course she showed up in something so effortlessly lovely.

Jaedon Thomson, who is attending the Joffrey Ballet School in New York, New York (but was home for a bit of summer) is like any young New Yorker: thrift store savvy and ALWAYS trying to save money in one of the most expensive cities in the world. She gives a Goodwill bag and denim, cut into shorts, with a thrifted vest and Doc Martens look street chic. I mean, look at those ballerina legs. Really.

9/4/13 Easy Breezy (finally!)

Let's address the heinous elephant in the room, first of all. I am so sorry that the new banner looks like shit. I didn't want you to see me like this! But I got some tips and tricks over the weekend for sprucing up the sites, and CUHLEARLY I need to refine my skills (read: not use Microsoft Word) in the design department. I have access to Photoshop on campus, but haven't gotten a chance to get to it, yet! So it will be bettered soon. I hope. 

Anyway, I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend! I took the weekend off from iPhone ambushing people, aside from the girl I drunk-photographed at Luna and didn't get ANY information from...duh, but I was back at it today on campus!

Lizzie Dobson has a fantastic mix of easy layers for the changing seasons in a tee shirt from Wal Mart, a flannel she snagged from the lost-and-found at camp, and Chacos! I love how she's piled on the simplest, cheapest pieces for a look that immediately portrays her easygoing personality. She has tons of jewelry from summer camp (along with this beautiful Etsy-found ring) and a big ol' smile to match. This was a girl I knew I could approach!
