This is what I wore to the engagement party we had in Astoria this weekend. In hindsight, it was a little pointless for me to get all prettified, as I spent the entire night ensconced in my new, enormously puffy Miss Sixty coat that I grabbed at a sample sale the previous night. And boy, I didn't buy that sucker a moment too soon - it was a chilly evening, in deed, but nothing that a little booze and goulash didn't fix.

I am still in a swoon over how many people came out to celebrate in the cold with us. To all of you who did, you are amazingly awesome people, and it meant the world to us! Also, I think there is no limit to the amount of perogies I can eat. Man, the only problem with going to the Beer Garden is how badly I crave their perogies for the next month.


Tuesday, 10/21:Top: Thrifted J.Crew, Slacks: John Varvatos for Converse, Boots: Thrifted, Watch: Bulova

Work has been utterly crazy this week - it's all a little hard to explain. It's definitely affected my posting, as this absurdly late wardrobe post should demonstrate. My boss and mentor is leaving the company to pursue his freelance career, and I wish him all the luck in the world, though I am going to miss him terribly. I am so bummed about it that I am having a hard time being happy about the fact that I am being promoted to an art director, but I guess that's the way things are in life - sometimes the thing you desire doesn't come in garb you admire.


Thursday, 10/23:Tunic: eBay, Jeans: Levis Red, Boots: Thrifted, Watch: Bulova

Still, you gotta keep doing your best, right? In the words of the immortal Kurt Vonnegut, "So it goes..." I am going to try to concentrate on the very good things happening in my life, such as the fact that Fiance Kaboom! and I are going to rent a house! That's right. A HOUSE. With FLOORS. And a BACKYARD. I have yearned to live in a house of my own ever since I moved out of my parents' house and renting these shoe boxes they call apartments. It's also going to be so wonderful to have so much space, as our current apartment and the "Shoe Mountain" were definitely beginning to enter the realm of "natural disaster."


Friday, 10/17:Top: Gap, Cardigan: Victoria's Secret, Jeans: Siwy, Shoes: Toyama, Japan, Bracelet: Jami Rodriguez, Watch: Bulova

Speaking of PANTS ;), can you tell I love love love my new Siwy jeans? I have worn them TWICE in the last week. The color, the fit, the comfort: I simply cannot get enough of them. Even if I look like I just arrived from 1984.


Friday, 10/17:Shirt: Joyce Leslie, Sweater: Thrifted, Jeans: Siwy, Shoes: NYC Wholesale shop, Cuff: James the Leatherman, Watch: Bulova

This week has made me understand why the Chinese consider the line "May you live in interesting times" a curse. Let's hope for some less interesting, and more marvelous in the days ahead.
