A few things about me: 

I rarely wear bright lipstick.  

I love it, but Scott is not so much a fan (not that that necessarily stops me) and honestly the upkeep of wearing it all day long tends to bother me.  Apparently this shade confused Peanut as he kept pointing to his lips with a very concernicus face on.

When I love a piece in my closet, I wear it like it is going out of style.  

This Madewell skirt is one of those for me.  (It's on-sale now... seriously go snag yourself one).

This top from JCrew is starting to win the 'most versatile' superlative in my closet at the moment.  

And who would have thought that a jeweled chambray top would have been the leader in that one?! (Psst...it's on-sale now too)

I'm a sucker for Chanel nail polish.  

Sure, it's expensive, but I feel like the quality is just through the roof.  Peridot is a color that I snagged a few seasons ago and I've been itching to wear it again. It might be more of a Fall shade, but August won't blame me for breaking it out early I'm sure.

And lastly, I give hipsters a hard time.  

I'm not quite sure why - maybe because they are an easy mark or maybe I am secretly envious of their ironic lifestyle.  But I put this outfit together and after wearing it for a good portion of the day the other day, I realized that I myself looked very hipster.  And if that's a badge that this outfit inherits, then I'm OK with that.

Here's the thing about cutting all of your hair off, sometimes you don't give yourself enough room for a good pony tail.  If I have to pick one thing that I miss the most about longer hair, it's the ability to pull it up in either a pony or a high bun and call it a day. <le sigh>

Quiet in our house these days is a relative term and usually some semblance of it doesn't occur until way after 9:00 pm, which, for the record, is my bedtime.  (Seriously, I'm lamesauce). But regardless, when I do get a moment to myself, I love to spend that time reading.  Whether it's catching up on Vogue (which I still woefully a few months behind in) or tackling the my recent pick on my Kindle, I love to spend time in our guest room. It's the room in our place that gets the least amount of use.  There's not a TV in there so it's easier to not get distracted.  And the bed is heavenly; it was my bed in college and is the perfect mix of comfort and firmness.
