lazy days

as you can see in my face, getting out by noon doesn't agree with me....

my favorite snack... whole wheat or everything bagel with cream cheese, tomato, whatever veggies i have in the fridge(sometimes grilled), pepperoncinis and or thinly sliced red onions, sprinkled with sea salt and doused with tapatio

i love chucks...

i've been wearing them since i can remember. really a true love story. back in my jr college days i was walking home in my trusty steel toes and just couldn't make the 10mile walk so i stopped off and bought a pair of chucks. i will never forget that walk... or those shoes... they ended up with writing and holes all over them and even accompanied me to the riot grrrl convention at the late jabberjaw. eventually i wore those babies into the ground... not the only pair i've worn to bits...

these photos were taken last saturday.. had to rise kinda early(for a vampyre)... so no makeup etc... this is a very common everyday look for me as of late... hence the chucks... they always make an otherwise plain look very me... no ballet flats for this grrrl xoxo don't get me wrong i love the way ballet flats look, but i've tried and it's just not a go...

xo

ps early means by noon... actually i lie.... it means by 1pm... and that is still an exaggeration

pss i think i'm gonna attempt to answer questions in the comment section... we shall see how that goes... :P

cherry blossom dream

lately i've been bringing it back to basics and only buying and wearing what i love and feel good in... and in this case it is the princess leia buns :P... but seriously... i love cozy, soft basics. i've been searching for the perfect sweaters for what seems like forever and i finally came across two that i know i will have forever. the best part is that they didn't break the bank... i got them both from etsy. this here bobble sweater is one of them... i'll show the other sometime. i love how the sleeves are super long and the neck kinda just funnels. weird, but perfectly me. i love odd things.

wish i took better photos of the details... my favorite grey nail polish and new/old boots, but ohhh well...

ok

i'm hungry

i love eating late at night

so bad

rye toast it is

xo

choking on hello

these were taken a couple weeks ago... before the rain...

i love overalls... i used to wear them ALL the time and have been searching for some for a while. i thought my best bet was aardvarks or something and then i randomly came across these at h&m. yea, i don't usually find great stuff there like a lot of bloggers do... but i've got three things(including this sweater) in the last month... score! i've come to the conclusion that the one near me isn't the greatest... so now i go to another location...

anyhow... i hope everyone has a great sunday! i'm off to enjoy the brilliant day!

h&m sweater and overalls, thrifted top, asos scarf, chloe docs, vintage sunglasses

i can tell that we're going to be friends...

i was told i look like axl rose when i wear headbands like this. i think that is funny. i wasn't going for the axel look, but i do love it, whatever you want to call it. it kind of serves as a head covering... or shall i say hair covering. you know those days. well, that is like everyday for me... i'm just not a high maintenance or shall i say beyond two minute maintenance kind of grrl. i think i need to make a couple in velvet.... ok, now the search is on for stretchy velvet...

the bf brought home some fresh ciabatta so i grilled it on my cast iron skillet (which by the way, i totally adore) with some olive oil and topped it with smoked mozzarella, roma tomatoes and a pinch of sea salt... yummmmmmm... quick and yummy. this is what i eat when i want something not so healthy, haha...

random... i cook at least two meals a day... often three...
i prefer a second serving to dessert most of the time...
