I Want The Account Where I Can Get The Free Gun

After getting home today, I decided to play around with a new dress I got over the weekend. It's nice and structured (Though I wish it was a bit shorter. I guess I'll just have to deal until I can learn how to do a hidden seam)-something I've been looking for- and only cost $10. The ''rents" and I stopped by Steve and Barry's on the way to Target because there was huge sign that read: "Everything in the store is $9.98", which pretty much means unresistable. Though Target reaped no rewards, I did get the dress, a pair of silver flats, and a couple casual type button down shirts for a total of $40.

Oh, I'm trying out some new jewelry as well. Waiting for school to start so that I can wear my new things out is kind of torturous.

Tomorrow's the last day of camp, which means no more jeans and t-shirt uniform (and consequently, more outfit posts).





Now it's off to watch Bowling for Columbine on DVD. Six years later and I'm finally seeing the movie for the first time. Story of my life...

CdG for H&M

I'm usually able to deal with the fact that Oregon has no H&M nearby, but this and their fall/winter collection make me wish they at least had an online store (the jacket on the left in the second cluster of photos is love). All the crazy cuts, voluminous shorts, the fact that some garments have this sort of "cut and paste" quality to them....oh dear I'm working myself up into a tizz thinking about things I can't have. The preview is lust inducing, so I am not even trying to think about what the entire collection will have to offer:

Mirrors

I saw Mirrors last night. It was a pretty good movie, but I've learned to never see a movie on opening night again. Everyone was really loud which destroyed the mood a bit.

The outfit I'm wearing is from today though.

ha-ha-ha-ha. HA

Sorry for the sort of m.i.a. outfit posts lately. I've been helping out with this day camp for kids, and chasing around 5-9 year olds in a uniform of camp tee shirts, jeans, and sneakers does not lend to very post worthy outfits.

Anywho, today I finally saw The Dark Knight. It was pretty much amazing. And was it just me or was the joker completely hilarious? I was laughing at almost every evil, manical, crazy thing thing he did (come on, the pencil trick- how could you not find that funny?), and at one point some guy in the theater yelled "It's not funny!" which was a highlight for me. If Heath Ledger does not get an Oscar, I will start a one woman riot.

Oh, and last night I watched Silence of the Lambs (aka one of my favorite movies since I was about 8). It inspired me to read Marcus Aurelius once I finish my summer reading for english.

I got this really cool blazer from the nike employee store (we had passes- no employees in the family unfortunately). It's kind of weird because it looks like a blazer but isn't made out of typical blazer material. So it's like a blazer-but-not.

P.S.: The post title is the joker laughing in text form.

Rest in Peace

Comedian Bernie Mac died unexpectedly yesterday due to complications from pneumonia. As one of the "Original Kings of Comedy", he'll be greatly missed by family, friends, fans and the entertainment industry.

The fall 2008 lookbook .

Taking away: browns, greys, deep red; oxford shirts; double breast blazers; straight leg trousers; long, fingerless gloves; structured A-line dresses and skirts. It makes me think of Harvard law students with the autumnal colors and scholarly yet cool style.
