Not only is this new artist awesome because we share the same birthday (though of course, I'm sure that helps ;) )
But because she reminds me of a rougher, darker, British, Lady Gaga.
Same fashion style, same dance beats, and she's drop-dead gorgeous to boot.
Awesome.

MORE FLUFFY
I think I have an issue guys.
Now I'm thinking about the Prada S/S 2011 show, and I can't get the "raccoon tail" bags out of my head.
Lust. Want. Need.
Where would I carry a raccoon bag?
Do I need an excuse?
Well then, I would wear it to go pick up soy milk and falafel at the grocery store. Obvs.*
*My friends do not doubt me on this when I told them. Their only comment was that the bags don't come in black or grey. Good point, but a minor detail.

FLUFFY!!
What is it about fluffy things? Just-washed sheets, puppies, kittens, tulle, angora sweaters, buttercream frosting...
They all make me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
I dare you to look at this bag and not feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. I double dare you.

I just had my first day of my internship with Elle. I'm not sure what I was expecting.... but I feel like my brain just got trampled on.
But all in all, I think I put on a good show.
I'll be prepared next time (aka tomorrow).
In the meantime, I'll be curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea.

New Things
I don't know about anyone else, but I always feel like the new year is a clean start. So I like to celebrate a little by getting a new haircut, usually something drastic.
So about 6 or 8 inches later, we have this.
I'm still trying to remember how to actually blow-dry my hair (man, haven't had to do that in a while) so I've come to terms with the fact that it's going to look a little crazy for the next few weeks.
Anyway, here's my outfit for today. Just heading down into the village, I'm going to learn the Argentina tango today, I mean, why not?
The thing I always forget about having short hair is
1. You actually have to do something with it every day.
2. People can see your face. Which means you also have to do something with that every day.
3. They always make my chin look a little mannish. I'm over it.
I'm just never satisfied. As soon as I have short hair, I wish it were long again. When it's long, I wish it were short.
C'est la vie.
On other notes, I rescued this bag from a family friend's attic. It had been lying under a window so the leather was ridiculously bleached and cracked, but it's such a beautiful Coach bag I figured I'd try and save it.
So after two hours of polishing and a can of shoe polish, it looks pretty gorgeous. Still a little aged, but more family heirloom than junk shop.
*Tip: when trying to rescue bleached or cracked leather, don't have it re-dyed because they strip everything (dye won't penetrate past the varnish/treatment on the leather). Instead, try some leather oil and shoe polish, because both soak past the varnish into the actual leather. Also it's a hell of a lot cheaper than having it dyed.

We also went through my dad's closets (yes, plural) this vacation. That man owns more clothes than any woman I've ever known. He's just such a pack rat.
Anyway, I rescued this cardigan from him. It's a cardigan from when he went to school at Berkley, CA back in the 70's.
It needs a bit of de-pilling, but still. I'm a little in love. All I need is a poodle skirt and some saddle shoes : P

Lust. Want. Need.
Man, I seem whiny this week. Let's cure that shall we? Because I do have some things that I'm enjoying.
Such as copious amounts of free time.
Ridiculously good sales.
And Mint* yelling at me that I've gone over my shopping budget this month.
See above ridiculously good sales...
In some parallel universe this MUST count as a work appropriate top. Right? RIGHT?
Too cute. I have way too many button-down shirts but I feel like this one would fit in just fine with my collection.

Again, I think I need some shopping focus. The last thing I need is another pair of party shoes, even if they are deliciously 40% off.
* For a New Year's resolution I signed up for Mint.com to see if I could try and budget a little better. Unfortunately, my complaint is that the system is a bit rigid and/or geared towards someone with a much larger income.
But so far all of the daily warnings of how much I'm over budget have been helping : ) All of the visual pie graphs are great too and worth signing up for just to see where all my money goes (hint: it's in the shopping and entertainment category)
