too much fashion and oreos

I'm just going to cut to the chase and tell everyone that I've wasted a HUGE portion of my last two days messing with Polyvore. Although it's not new to the internet, it's new to me, and it's become my new favorite way to waste time! (What? How did you guess that I've got a couple of big school projects looming in my near future?)

For anyone who doesn't know, Polyvore is a website that allows you to create outfits creatively. I would explain better but it's 3 am, and I don't want to. Just go look at the website.

Whenever I find something I like, I tend to exhaust myself with it to the point of obsession. Case in point, when I ate an entire package of Mint Double Stuff Oreos (but frozen, because they taste even better that way) last weekend...by myself. Is this behavior healthy? No. Will I do it again if I get another craving for those little cookies? Quite possibly. So I guess Polyvore has become my new Oreo.

Since I've been dreaming of cold weather, here's my cold (but stylish!) winter outfit:

Items in this set:
KAIN t shirt, $95
Net-a-porter.com jacket, $1,295
Seven For All Mankind jeans, $198
Chloé boots, 490 GBP
Chloé shoulder bag, $1,720

And there's a lot more where that came from, so blog, I hope you're ready for some cute outfits.

colors and flow...

I'm still in love with this spread from V magazine I saw months and months ago.

There's just something about flowy colorful fabric that makes me want to be 8 years old again, if only to spin around my living room singing Disney princess songs.

A girl can dream, right?

Well, dear blog, it looks like I didn't abandon you after all. I have to apologize for my absence. I really have no good excuse other than my busy schedule and the lack of interesting occurrences in my life lately. But tonight I found something I can safely say is blog-worthy.

Because of the state of my current funds, I really haven't bought anything but food and gas lately. I thought the lack of new clothes would get to me, but truly, I've been doing fine. I had found that as long as I didn't tempt myself, I didn't have any desire to go shopping. I was becoming satisfied with what I have, which is something I've been striving for.

But then I HAD to look at Anthropologie's spring stuff.

As I looked through these dresses, I began to have fantasies of living the life of an Anthropologie Girl. Is it so wrong to want that kind of sickeningly sweet lifestyle?

I could sip lemonade on the porch, wear this cute dress, and love life. For Easter, I'd show up for church in this adorable thing. In the summer, I would ride my bike, with an incredibly chic hairstyle, might I add, while wearing this. For those times I happen to be in Brazil, and I need something to go dancing in with my gorgeous foreign boyfriend, I would whip out this little number. When I go to New York City for a fun and spontaneous week with my girlfriends, I'd wear this dress when we go out to eat after walking through Central Park. I would lounge by the pool at my country home, making martinis while my hot, Jon Hamm-looking husband barbeques, in this.

Can't I do that? Can't my bank account somehow make room for that kind of life? Won't the universe give me that???

It's not safe to digitally window shop when I have so little money. It wreaks havoc on my sanity.
