Stylish Blogging

The lovely Joy of Alex Drake Vintage sent this Stylish Blogger award my way. Thanks a bunch!

Now I have to think of seven random facts about myself.. hmm!

1. I can't wink my right eye. I can't cross my eyes, either. I just look crazy trying.
2. I have a bookmarks folder called 'Future' where I save advice/ideas/pictures of things I want for my future home, wedding and children.. even though those things are years away!
3. I am 5'11, and I have a 36" inseam. That means it's really, really hard to find jeans that fit! I also wear a size 10 shoe, which I lovingly refer to as "size ugly."
4. I have a horrible memory. Probably the worst you'll ever encounter, short of Alzheimer's. It takes patience to be my friend.
5. My dream home/wardrobe could be ripped straight from any Anthropologie catalog.
6. My favorite color is cerulean.
7. I am currently a freelance writer, but my dream job is to be an accessories editor!

Waiting for Blogger to return..

Blogger glitched big-time yesterday and was down for maintenance alllll day. Although a few of my posts were rolled back (read: temporarily deleted?), I'm hoping that they will pop back up soon, complete with your lovely comments. For those of you who are also experiencing issues, you can keep up with Blogger's service announcements here.

On to the fun stuff.

as seen in: we love colors

Caught in the act!

We Love Colors posted my rooftop photo on their trends blog, how cool is that? The good news is, I'll be wearing these tights A LOT--I'd been searching for that exact shade of purple for ages, and I want to squeeze in as many wears as possible before the beautiful weather beckons my bare legs.

Also, you can save save 10% on certain styles, plus free US shipping using the code WHATIWORE from one of my favorite bloggers (and fellow Park Sloper!), Jessica.
