I love Madewell so much. They have the best clothes and shoes. I really want these little beauties. They are exclusively available at Madewell.

Heading Home

I am heading home for a little visit soon. I am so excited. I love the farm so much. While I am there I am going to do a million things.

-play with my nieces and nephews
-say hi to the cows
-go on a canoeing trip with my sister
-help my parents in the garden
-eat and eat and eat
-jump on the trampoline
-swim in the pool
-pick food from the garden

I cannot wait to see my family. Family is the best. As my parents get older I value the time that I spend with them more and more. It's crazy to think that they won't always be there.

Enjoying the Weather

After a week of tear inducing weather the weekend has gotten nice and warm!

Here are some photos of me enjoying the weather:

Desperation Leads to This

Readers, it has been a long time since I have posted. The reason that it has been such a long time is that nothing has happened in my life. That's how the life of a blogger is, when nothing happens there is nothing to blog about. Obviously I am kidding. I will let you in on a little secret: when nothing is happening in my life, I blog the most. This is a roundabout way of saying that many things have been happening in my life that have prevented my from making regular blog posts. 

These photos are from the archives and I am posting them on a few short days off. Then I will head back to summer camp and continue having the time of my life. If you are new to the blog and you haven't heard of the most amazing camp in the world please check it out: http://www.bymcamps.org/shiloh.htm

My Sister in Law

My brother's wife, Havvah, works at a small book store. The other day I stopped in to chat with her and  she was wearing an outfit that inspired awe. Even though this outfit is made up of many bold patterns they all seem to work together. I don't know how she does it. I would also like to note that she made the shirt that she is wearing. When I look at the bird on the shirt I am once again reminded of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo 

Havvah is a creative and beautiful woman with two adorable children. She is also an accomplished Pastry Chef. My brother Isaac and her run a restaurant called Milkweed. Click here for more info about reservations, menus, etc.

Vintage Dress

Recently I have been trying to think of ways to make money quickly, while selling drugs and prostitution have been recommended to me by some people, I am looking for other routes. I tired responding to some posts on craigslist.org, but that didn't really work out. I was offered 1000 dollars to bartend at some corporate party topless, but I declined. Anyway, I have decided that consigning clothing is the best way to make some easy money. In order to do this though, I need to clean out my closet. I found this little piece and just had to try it on. Here are the photos:

The question is, should I consign it or keep it? Tell me your thoughts... 

The working life

I work at a small restaurant that serves some of the most amazing food that you will ever sink your teeth into. If you are new to the blog and don't know about it check out the website: http://milkweedclub.com/

As a server you have many experiences that are challenging, weird, fun, and sometimes downright embarrassing. Here I will share an experience that falls into the last category. During this night of serving, I was on top of my game, people we're loving me, I had all of my tables captivated, people were enjoying the food, and the weather was great. Things were so great that one of my tables asked if they could take a picture. I was so flattered that they wanted to take a picture of me. I had been posing for the picture for about 20 seconds when it dawned on me that they didn't want to take a picture of me they wanted me to take a picture of them. Are you kidding me I thought. This blows, first of all, they don't want to take a picture of me, and second of all, I was just doing weird poses for 20 seconds while they looked confused. Can you believe it, they still tipped me. (Probably because I was dressed to the nines)... Thanks you my sweet guests for putting up with me...

When it rains in pours...

When asked what I wear in the rain, I like to say that I wear nothing... But that is not true. Not at all. Generally, I don't prepare for rain and end up soaked. I will be standing in the downpour while other people pull out their really nice rain gear. Let me tell you, people are not generous with their expensive rain gear. But if I was to prepare for the rain it would look like this:

Jeans: Macy's 

Boot: Farm n' Fleet

Socks: Smartwool 

Jacket: American Apparel 

Which One?

Sometimes it's really hard for me to decide what to wear, I mean really hard. I will stand in front of the mirror and just stare at what I have on or I will try on every piece of clothing that I have. It's a rough life... Here is a little example of that brought to you in photo form... I could not decide what Cardigan to wear with this dress. Looking at the pictures I now see that there is a clear choice. But what do you think?

That was not cool

The other day I was talking with this woman. Our conversation turned to style and she asked me how I manage to dress cool. With a nod and a wink I told her that it starts with one very important thing: Being Cool. Right as these idiotic words escaped my lips I realized that she meant cool; like the weather. Great, I really look cool now. I laughed a little, and then tried to think of something to say. This is when I realized that I never dress cool, I'm always too HOT.

If I had a job then I would probably wear clothes like this. But I don't have a job so thats why I have time to blog about style. Check out the outfit, comment, and listen to Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, because it's hilarious...
