in this corner of the ring...

so tonight ended up being super low key, which was super nice because I have been cleaning ALL day! I am in phase 1 of packing for moving soon. This means I daydream most waking hours of how I will decorate my new place, listen to good music, and bust my ass.

I wasn't going to let the ass busting stop me from going out, so I went to a ska show with a cool co-worker. It was at the U of M Union and it was in their bowling alley area, good music, mellow and fun :o)

you can only sort of tell in the photo, but I couldn't decide between Pink Friday, and the new Gaga 2 Viva Glam from MAC- SOOOOOO I wore the Pink Friday lipstick with the Gaga lipglass! They mix beautifully! love it!

I wore a Harajuku Lovers shirt with some pants I got in Hong Kong, L.A.M.B. watch, "Return to Tiffany" bracelet modified with HL charm, skull/spike bracelet, and stud earrings- with the standard ska show shoes- Doc Martens!

and of course, a favorite of mine that no one in the US ever seems to go for...

DROP CROTCH PANTS!!!

so the band gave me a total SUBLIME vibe so I am now sitting here chillin, drinking wine out of a teacup and listening to the 40 oz. to Freedom album... this album is love

Cleaning out stuff and getting ready to pack is awesome! I found these sunglasses that I thought were long gone! I can't really do regular Wayfarers, they just don't work on me, but I love them, so I was happy to find these (I will call them) "Nayfarers" at Target, the shape is a little bigger so I get the style and it works on my face.

I have found HELLA other stuff while cleaning too, stuff I can use to decorate the new place! SCORE :o)

What do we do when we fall off the horse?

"Sorry Maury, I'm not a gymnast."

when I fall off the horse- I shop for shoes over lunch- works for me!

There's this cute little store called Len in the skyway... everything's insanely marked up, then it's "ALWAYS 50% off" lol, it's such a scam, but these shoes ended up being only $40. I've been wanting some like this so they were pretty much a must have...

At least even though it was a rough day over something kind of silly, I got some cute cheap boots and a post out of it!

you're so new...

I always love it when I finally get a chance to wear new stuff! Last night I went out for a farewell party for one of the most awesome women I know who's moving back home to Michigan, and although it was bittersweet, any chance to dress up makes me happy. 

These Rachel Roy boots were a Black Friday find and I've been itching to wear them since I got them! You know when you get asked, "Did you get those at the Future Store?" the style is a good choice! haha

Rachel Roy clothes and shoes, and jewelry, are some of my favorites! Great quality too!

I also have been really wearing a lot of BCBG lately- I recently got amazing deals on this dress and leather jacket!

Oh, and a little advice that would make my Mom proud- WEAR A SLIP ladies! No one wears slips anymore- just remember the proper undergarments can make an outfit look even more fab!

and I was SUPER glad that I blew off errands for a pedicure and getting my nails done yesterday! I always feel an outfit is more complete if my nails are lookin fly too!

hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!
