Leopard

Hat-UO, Coat- F21, Top-Walmart, Pants-A & F, Boots-Target

I've been obsessed with Bob Dylan from the first moment that I heard "Shelter from the Storm" (which, all of these years later, is still my favorite Dylan track). Since watching Factory Girl, I've wanted a "Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat" (Edie Sedgwick was the alleged inspiration behind Dylan's song). This furry version doesn't quite match, but I think it's still a nice throwback to the era.

Mermaid's Tears

Shirt-Gap, Jeans-BDG, Necklace and Ballet Flats-Nordstrom

I'm obsessed with painting my nails, and last summer my favorite polish by far was O.P.I.'s "Mermaid's Tears." Since I've been at school, the sea-foam green has felt like a tie to home. I've never been one for a lot of color, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a pair of jeans that matched my nail polish, and a necklace to tie it all together. When combined, I feel like the details add a nice kick to a classic outfit.

Winter Coat

Coat-Zara, Skirt-UO, Tights-Macy's, Shoes-Payless

The weather has been really lovely lately. Not too cold, but definitely still coat weather. I'm going to miss this in three months when I'm back at home burning to death in California.

Song of the Day: "All My People" by Portugal. The Man

R.I.P. Sign By The Duck Pond

Too strange to ignore, to creepy to stay.


Song of the Day: "End of Line" by Daft Punk (from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack)

Fur Hat

Trench Coat-J.Crew, Pants-BDG, Boots-Hunter, Hat-UO

I have a mild obsession with putting things on my head. And by mild, I mean slightly out of control. My dream is to go to a wedding in the U.K.--it seems to be perfectly acceptable to wear what resembles a solar system model on your head. On a smaller scale, I love winter because you can wear a fur hat and sort of get a way with it. One day I'd like to go to Russia and fit in with the crowd of fellow fur-hat devotees. Until then, I have to to substitute Brigham Square for Red Square. до свидания!

Song of the Day: "Born to Die" by Lana del Rey

Mentoring

Since last year I've been mentoring a sixth grader. Today we went to the Museum of Art, walked through all of the exhibits, and picked out our favorite pieces. She is the coolest 12-year-old I know.
