The Forgotten Iced Coffee

Worn on March 18th, 2011

Friday was such a gorgeous day. Incredibly windy, but gorgeous nonetheless. I though putting my hair up in a top knot would be enough to keep my hair from blowing all over the place in the wind. But even with hairspray all those loose, fuzzy hairs were everywhere i these photos! Oh well, I don’t care. Because I’m wearing a skirt and no tights. That is insane.

So, I had a bunch of errands to run, and ended up running into Buffalo Exchange. I scored a gorgeous Marc Jacobs top, which I’m pretty proud of. And you know what, I left my new, full iced white mocha sitting on the shelf while shopping. And then never picked it back up. I’m just now realizing this - more than 24 hours later. I’m brilliant.

I'm an Irish Baby

March 17th, 2011

Yeah, I’m Irish. I mean, my last name Keenan. But I don’t think I’m a very good Irishman. I don’t drink, for starters. And thats like pretty much all the Irish do, right? Plus, I don’t think I look very Irish. I can thank the Lebanese in me for my few dark features (p.s- dark hair + dark eyes + dark glasses + very sunny day = a big dark blob of a face in photos). Aaaaand I don’t own very many green items. The few I do, I just wasn’t feeling ‘em today. So I went for the accessories. The bow necklace is, of course, made by me (hey! visit my shop!). And my faithful little Prada purse rounded it out for about as much green as I could get out of me for today.

Fun little side note - that cardigan I’m wearing belonged to my grandma. She and my grandpa were the cutest little (and by little, I mean little. Like, leprechaun little) Irish couple I’d ever seen. Just sayin’.

I Really Love Giraffes

March 15th, 2011

I’ve been kind of off the radar for about the last week. I’ve had the worst cold for what feels like forever. But today I woke up feeling pretty good, and thought today would be the day that I get back outside and take some outfit photos. I, apparently, spoke too soon. As soon as I got outside, the runny nose, watery eyes, coughing - all came flooding back. Oh well, I gave it a shot. Thats why theres not that many photos. Most of them consisted of  ”I am about to sneeze” or “hurry up and snap before my eyes start to water again” faces. 

And this outfit contains a lot less color and a lot more black than I usually choose to wear. But for some reason it felt  appropriate for today. I have some sort of obsession with giraffes. They make me feel better. Speaking of feel better giraffes, I got the best present from Boo the other day - a 6 foot tall giraffe statue. And I thought he was going to bring me a candy bar. 

Oh, and these shoes? I had won them during the 30 for 30 in a giveaway by Louise at Coffee and a Cardigan. Adorable, right?!

I'm a Hipster, Baby

Worn on March 6th, 2011

Ugh, you guys, I feel like poo. I caught a cold. And I’m such a baby, so its really killing me. I haven’t left the house in a few days, so I haven’t put on real clothes, which means I haven’t taken any outfit photos recently. Thank goodness I had these photos from this last weekend. My friend, Allison was staying with us for the weekend, and on Sunday we went to the aquarium, went to dinner in the North End, and picked up some cannolis at Mike’s Pastry. Lovely day, if I do say so myself. 

And as you can see, I jumped on the bandwagon with the big framed glasses. What can I say, I guess I’m a hipster now. No really, I really love them, as everyone else does. They’re fake though. I really do wear glasses, so I hope to get some prescription ones soon.

P.S - thank you Allison for taking my outfit photos this last weekend! Isn’t she adorable? And look at her rocking one of my bow necklaces.
