Foxy Lady

For the past couple of weeks in Linda's class, we have been busy bees making costumes for a festival in Railroad Square this weekend called Artigras.  We are all making animal costumes and walking in a parade!

A couple of us are paper-macheing giant fox heads to wear...

So of course it only made sense to have fur on our costumes.  So a couple of days ago, Michelle and I went to Good Cents (love that place so much) and made out like complete bandits.  Less than a dollar each for giant stuffed animals with fox-like fur?! PERFECT. 

I proceeded to, like a complete weirdo, rip every seam out of these stuffed animals for their prized hides. I got a nice pile I think, and Michelle is taking all of the stuffing!

Unfortunately I can't be in the parade because of personal issues, but someone else will be taking my place, and we all know that I will, someday in the near future, put this costume on in it's entirety and snap a picture for all of you!

"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home."

-Edith Sitwell

I just love that quote. It encompasses exactly how I feel about winter. Going home for the holidays is just my absolute favorite. Listening to my mama explain where all of the ornaments came from, burning cinnamon on the stove, NSYNC Christmas blasting throughout the house on repeat...

Family movies at night, lots and lots of soup (I don't know why we make so much soup during Winter Break), lighting candles in bags and lining them along the sidewalk, cuddling up with Kitten and Bella on the big leather couch...

Bonfires with my best friends, long talks on the driveway, bundling up and sitting in the back of my papa's truck, and ringing in the new year!

Anyway, what I am getting at is that Fall and Winter are the best time of the year for me. They recall so so many memories, and this is basically all I look forward to.

I want, no, need these socks. They are just sooooo adorable. I would live in these. White, heather grey, charcoal, and black PLEASE :)

goodwill is good

Went to Goodwill and the Salvation Army yesterday... Wednesdays always have great sales, and man did I make out like a bandit.

Got these awesome sunglasses (see above)! Finally. A great, cool looking pair.

A frame with a Good Imagination Award for a Mr. Steven Nabors. Wherever you are, sir, I will be proud of your great imagination, unlike whoever gave your award away.

A great necklace with a butterfly pendent.

A silver bracelet.

A cheap, but cute, cameo. Which will be made into a necklace in the near future.

Two amazing purses, one of which will be my official camera bag.

A nice scarf for the chilly fall days that I am loving so much.

A CD of family pictures that some heartless person clearly did not want. Don't fret anonymous family, I will cherish your memories and do some great photoshopping with them.

A 1970 edition of Black Beauty, a childhood favorite. :)

what i'm wearing

Just a rainy Monday. Feelin' artsy.

Scala pronto hat.

Miley Cyrus & Max Azria slouchy tee.

Decree bleach splattered shorts.

Banboo black booties.

want... no. need.

Please? Need I say more? Tattoo tights are probably one of the coolest trends I've seen lately.

Must get myself a pair.

redye.

Got my hair freshly colored for the season. Am I going against nature for a winter shade during the summer? I gave up cutting my bangs for Lent... think I should let them grow out? My mother thinks they are a nuisance and too far over. My aunt says they say, "come hither".
