MORE more Chloe love

Now, I know that not everyone may share my passion for Ms. Sevigny. Nevertheless, you cannot tell me that this is not an absolutely glorious summer outfit. I mean, it's been two years for cryin' out loud, and she still looks so fresh! So clean! Personally, I think it's one for the ages. I wanted so badly to find a little plaid sundress like this for my weekend getaway, but no such luck. CS, once again, I tip my straw boater to you.

Once in a blue moon...

...is how often I wear pants (and I do, of course, mean this in the American sense of the word). They make make me feel painfully self conscious and exposed in a way that short skirts never do, but then, this is probably due in no small part to the fact that I insist on wearing only the slimmest of cuts. Hell, I'm a quarter Swedish--if it works for those Moderniteter girls, why not me right? Ah, my poor addled brain.

I would actually love to branch out and try a wider cut, high wasted 70's style, but I have yet to even glimpse the right pair, let alone get my hands on them. Oh, and pants are so expensive too! Another of my least favorite adjectives...

get down girl

Has it been nearly a week? Really? Ah jeez. I'd like to say I've just been slaving away over the ol' text books, which is true...ish. But honesty, I've also been doing a fair amount of this:



Additionally, much of my free time and energy have been going into preparing for something rather glorious--4th of July long weekend spent at a house in Montauk! Floppy hat? Check. Espadrille wedges? Check. I might even eat lobster for the first time! Ah, East Coast livin'...

(Hey, Ben, what say you quit that silly EMT training and just become my full-time personal photographer, k?)

his hang-ups are hilarious!

Of all the wonderful things I received for my birthday this year, the best by far has got to be this: a limited edition copy of the never-before-released Soundtrack to Harold and Maude. For a Seventies film junkie like me, this is something of a holy grail my friends. Oooh I am only just beginning to nerd out over this! And on top of it all, I was also gifted a record player to play it on! I'm so excited to be able to go record shopping once more without the added guilt of not actually being able to listen to them. Best best best!

I feel like maybe this should be hanging over a fireplace somewhere...
