QT in the music corner.

[Daydreamer LA t-shirt, sold out, but this one's similar (and on sale!) + Pilcro high waist bell bottom cords + Low Luv x Erin Wasson chain + WESC headphones + completely necessary Anthro beach chair.] I never really assume that I’m being ridiculous—especially when keeping to myself in the corner playing tambourine, or, say, singing [...]

Got to scrape that s**t right off your shoes.

[J.Crew military blazer + Urban t-shirt + Urban sequin vest + Sam Edelman Parley boot, on sale at Piperlime + Pilcro cords + Free People cuff + Shopbop Bop Basics hat.] Just in this big old Keef Richard mood lately. It’s unstoppable. Feel like flopping my bell bottoms all around town with my arm around [...]

I bought a flute.

[Anthro skirt + A Wang tee + Urban sequin vest + Kors boots + Banana jacket.] Make that two flutes. The pan flute, seen below, is impossibly hard and were it not for the cool pom pom accoutrements, I would have thrown it out the window yesterday. I flout while driving. That’s all. -Carey

Love all the happy things.

[Leyendecker LA poncho :: last seen here :: + Daydreamer LA t-shirt + Club Monaco necklace + AG jeans.] What makes you happy? That no bullshit, unapologetic, 100% successful/60% of the time, in the moment, bar-none happy maker—that thing that just works for you. That you don’t need to explain. Get specific with me. I’m [...]

Antique Mall sweep.

[The geeks on the bus go la-la-la, all the way to the West End Antique Mall.] Finished work for the morning and needed something to do in the afternoon that wasn’t related to either exercise or eating. Naturally, a trip to see Rob at work for a glass of wine, then a lubricated stop at [...]

Mara Hoffman: Spring 2012

She’s just a genius. Not much else to say there. Mara Hoffman blows it out of the water for another season of gnarly prints and sick colors. I’m digging the cycle back to the Central American vibe here. Take me to the river… drop me in the water. -C

The house of the rising sun.

[Afternoon hanging. Staring at Stars jacket + Pure/Good t-shirt + UO hat + AG jeans.] First! Look at my awesome robot-inspired copper wire and glitter garland I made from tree dropping at Maymont. It’s about to be a year-round installation. So, just padding around the apartment with a Hoegaarden, music playing, windows open on this [...]

On the clock.

Visited the Bo at the ‘office’ today to bring him some lunch and ended up paying for a pour. (Or two.) Dig my new Free People kimono: perfect for trips to Kroger for multiple boxes of Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch (my own holiday tradition), rainy day molding about, and fostering ambiguity about whether or not [...]

Going down in collage history.

Today’s Who What Wear gift guide collage blew my mizzy-mind: Gonna need all of that. Starting with the t-shirt. [What about Brian? And Anita? She should be stitched somewhere on the back for being the band poltergeist.] And the coat. And the scarf. All perfect for when I’m cramped back in coach mixing a bloody [...]

On near misses and bulls’ horns.

[Been wearing this exact combo pretty much nonstop for a month. Kind of gross. Urban Outfitters t-shirt + AG jeans + Kors boots + Banana jacket.] I’m always wary of airing any dirty laundry here. I’ve been called out on it before and it felt like an ugly accusation; it’s my podium, after all. It’s [...]

I was there, waiting for the sun.

[Exercises in not vehemently hating the morning: cool cups and frothy lounge separates from Eloise.] There are pray few mornings I don’t want to moan despondently and throw a lamp across the room. It’s more than just not wanting to get out of a comfortable bed; I sometimes think I have a legit personality disorder [...]

So THAT’S how it is in their family.

[Acknowledging Eli screaming from the balcony in Anthro dress + vintage squash blossom necklace + Elizabeth and James heels.] Thanksgiving; a mind-blowing masterpiece. I’m not someone who takes having family around/copious amounts of eating for granted, but this was one holiday done right: martinis, cosmos, bar mix, thin-sliced Virginia ham with cranberry sauce, gravy, infant boys [...]
