Day 25 - Magenta Obsession

      

      

      

December 3rd, 2010

top: Diane von Furstenberg, scarf: U.O, gloves: Coach, pants: Gap, boots: Miu Miu

30 for 30 remix - day 25: So I tried another technique, this time courtesy of Sydney’s tutorial ( and tweaked a tiny bit by me). I really like this effect. More so than the last set I played with. I think I going to play around a little more and see. But I really do like these ones. 

I finally played into my recent magenta/ purple obsession. The scarf and the gloves came from completely separate places but the color matches perfectly. I’ve had them for a couple years now and I love wearing them together. 

There was some construction going on at the house across the street from me. One of the construction guys screamed over to me “you taking your own modeling shots?” Just to avoid trying to explain anything, I just said “yeah”. So he said “well, I’ve never seen that before.” And he continued to stand there and watch me. Awkward. 

But anyway, I went and saw HP7. Again. For the fourth time. I know what you’re thinking, I’m the coolest person ever. And yes, it was just as good as times 1, 2, and 3. And then boyfriend and I went out to dinner with his office-mate and his wife. We had Italian. I had risoto. It was good. 

And man, I wrote a lot today. 

      

Day 24 - Pumpkin Spice Latte

      

December 2nd, 2010

hat: U.O, cardigan: C&C California, scarf: gift from me seester, belt: Anthropologie, tank: Franchesca’s Collections,  jeans: Gap, shoes: Steve Madden

30 for 30 remix- day 24: I’ve been playing around with Photoshop a bit lately, trying to teach myself how to make those dreamy photos. Filters, layers, masks. I got this. Well, I maaaay have gone a bit overboard with these ones. Or not. I’m not sure. But I’m having fun. 

I remember reading some other’s posts about using a scarf to completely cover up a top or dress, and how it feels kind of like cheating in the challenge. Well, it kind of does. But I like the result. And I swear I’m wearing my butterfly 30 for 30 tank underneath! 

Now, back to my seasonly obsession - my pumpkin spice latte. I’m pretty sure this is like, my 6th one this week. 

      

Day 23 - Sketchy

                                     

December 1st, 2010

 striped tank and denim skirt: Anthropologie, black tee: Gap, tights: Express, flats:Chanel

30 for 30 remix-day 23: Ok, so I didn’t take outfit photos yesterday. It was rainy and yucky all day, and I really didn’t feel like getting all wet and cold while I try to take my own pictures with a self timer. But I did sketch the outfit! I was in the mood for some sketching (more later), so I figured I’d throw in my outfit. To be honest, because of the icky weather I didn’t stay in the outfit for very long. I was back in my pajamas as soon as possible.  

Day 22 - These are a few of my favorite things

      

      

November 30th, 2010

tee: Splendid (via Anthropologie), skirt: Forever 21, tights: Anthropologie, boots: Frye, coat: U.O

30 for 30 remix- day 22: I love my charm necklace. And I love sweater tights. And I love this skirt. How many times have I worn it so far in the challenge? Probably not as many times as I think, but I feel like I can wear it with anything. 

      

      

      

Day 21 - Theres No Snow Here

November 29th, 2010

cardigan and shirt: JCrew, skirt and belt: Anthropologie, tights: Urban Outfitters, boots: Frye

30 for 30 remix- day 21: So we’re back home. And theres no snow here. Its not even cold. The day before I was wearing my winter coat and hat, standing in snowy grass. And now the sun is shining, and I don’t even really need a jacket at all. 

Sorry for the lack of full length pictures today. I was slacking. Which is sad because I really liked this outfit. I’ll try and do better tomorrow. Pinky promise. 

      

Day 20 - Lake Effect

      

      

      

November 28th, 2010

top: Forever 21, dress (worn as skirt): H&M, hat: U.O, cardigan: C&C California

30 for 30 challenge- day 20: Ok, it wasn’t snowing at this time. Nor is this a lake. But Buffalo did get its first real snow while we were home. We have that sort of effect. It snowed in Texas last time we were there too. 

I feel like these 2 pieces are getting the most work in this challenge. I wear this shirt with everything, and this is the 3rd different way I’ve figured out how to wear this dress. Its a maxi dress, but not quite floor length. So I belted it around my waist and made it into a skirt. We drove the 8 hours back home this day, and I wanna wear this dress every time I travel. It is so incredibly comfortable. 

These last few pictures look like I am advertising Tim Hortons. Haha. No, i just really love my Timmy-Ho’s. I got it as much as I could while I was home. And if you look closely, you can see that I spilled it all over my shirt. Typical. 

      

      

Day 19 - Comfy Cozy

    

November 27th, 2010

dress: Piko 1988 (purchases at a boutique in Buffalo, NY) , tights: Anthropologie, hat and socks: U.O

30 for 30 remix- day 19: Our last full day home was spent running around visiting different family. We were so busy, before I knew it, it was 8 o clock at night and I still hadn’t taken my photos. 

The other day I wore this dress with a tank over it. So here you go - the dress styled as simple as possible.  

      

Day 18 - Two For One Special

      

      

      

      

      

November 26th, 2010

Sabres tee and hat: Sabres Store, blue shirt and skirt: Forever 21, coat, gloves and tights: U.O, black tee: Gap, headband: Anthropologie, boots: Miu Miu

30 for 30 remix- day 18: I wore two outfits yesterday. One I wore during the day to hang out with the fam and stay cozy, and then I changed into the second to go the Sabres game (with my jersey over top of course). I just changed up the order of the layers on top, and changed from the skirt to jeans.

I was having a lot of fun with these photos. It was fricken freezing but the snow falling was so pretty. I was laughing in almost all the photos from the second set. I had my brother take them and he was really getting into playing photographer. It was pretty hilarious, let me tell you. 

Oh, and p.s - the Sabres won! woo hoo!!!!
