In My Life : Sabres and Other Things

Things that happened this weekend:

I had one of those days on friday where I pretty much didn’t move off of my spot on the couch. Day - photo editing, coffee, and Grey’s Anatomy reruns. Night - save the dates, sheep slippers, and the Sabres game. Same spot, just different activities. 

I was in a very Sabre-y mood this weekend. At different times I sported both my 80’s bomber jacket and my customized All Stars. 

It was also a build a fort in the living room type of weekend. Completed with wings and buffalo chicken wing dip while we watched yet another Sabres game.

Creepsters Be Creepin'

worn on November 3rd, 2011

This outfit was created to go with my new DIY hair comb. Ta daaaaaaaaa…

So, I’m used to people staring and being creepy by now. It happens a lot, and I’ve mentioned it before. I get it. A girl standing there, posing, taking her own photos - its weird. But Its more something I expect when I’m taking them in public, not when I’m right in front of my own house. I was out taking these photos, and at the house directly across the street, two women opened their door and stood in their doorway as they stared at me until I finished. Whats worse is that I was directly facing them, so I had to face the awkwardness and see them as I was trying to pose. 

Come on people - just look, look confused and weirded out by the weird girl, and move on. No need to be that creepy.

DIY : Hair Combs

Have you seen this DIY floating around pinterest? I’ve had it pinned for awhile, and have been dying to make one. I finally got around to it!

Its incredibly simple. All you need is:

*hair comb (you can get a whole pack of them at the drug store)

*embroidery floss

And voila! All I did was wrap the floss around the teeth in a v shape. And then repeat. Its incredibly simple, and only took about 15 minutes. I loved it so much, I made a second one (in wedding colors, of course). 

Come back tomorrow to see it in action. 

Three Little Facts

worn on November 1st, 2011

I seem to be having another one of those days with nothing to say. So instead,  today I will link up to Rebecca’s (of Rebecca with an R) 3 little facts. 

driving: I don’t have a drivers license. I never have, actually. Driving scares the living daylights out of me, and I never made it past my learners permit. Boo seems to think that one day, when we have kids, I will have to get my license. I say - hire a driver. 

high school: I never played any sports as a kid. None. I’m completely uncoordinated. I was, however, a member of Art Alive, an editor of Yearbook Committee, and secretary of my  senior class.  And I played viola in our school orchestra. 

heritage: I’m part Lebanese. But mostly Irish. And also German.

Pizza, Bowling, And The First Snowfall

worn on October 29th, 2011

I loved this outfit. It was so comfy and casual and chill.

Earlier in the day, Boo and I ran a few errands. Nothing exciting, really. And then in the evening, as the snow started to come down, we headed out for pizza and candlepin bowling with some of Boo’s coworkers. A splendid night, ending with a little snowball fight in the street - of course.

Happy Halloween

worn on October 28th, 2011

Happy halloween everyone!

I didn’t have a costume this year, but I figured I could still infuse a little halloween spirit into an outfit. So I pulled out my bat tights from last year, made a bat for my hair, and tried to get my hair all big and frizzy (for that crazy effect). And I did blood splatter nails! I may have gotten nail polish all over the place in the process, but I love how they came out. 

did you dress up for halloween this year? How did you show your halloween spirit?

Lazy Sunday

worn on October 23rd, 2011

Boo and I originally had big plans for sunday. Plans to head into the city, visit the Sowa Market, explore, etc. But then we woke up…. and we were a bit too lazy for any of that. So instead, we kept it simple. We went out for a yummy yummy brunch, headed to the park for photos, and then spent the rest of the afternoon with our butts parked on the couch and a DVR full of shows. 

And I loved it.

Bright Lights, Big City

worn on October 17th, 2011

Unfortunately, this is the only other outfit shots from our time in NYC. We took one other set, but they didn’t turn out as good as I would like. Hopefully I’ll remember to re-create that outfit soon. Its unfortunate because I remixed the heck out of the few items I packed. 

But on to this outfit. After finding my dress the day before, we headed to Mood to find fabric to make my veil. I must say, its very me, and I’m just as excited about it as the dress! Hint - it maaaay involves polka dots and bows. Of course. 

p.s - I’ve taken outfit photos in public before. But in the middle of a busy NYC sidewalk? thats a first.

p.p.s - Thanks again seester for taking my photos!
