February 28: Out on the Tiles, or the Church Steps, Whatever

I love the morning light. It's so white; never is the world so white.

I was in self portrait mood this morning and I find this one particularly humorous:

  • February 27: Pabst Blue Ribbon Wednesday

    Before I posted this, I got off the phone with a friend who was getting in the shower with a Pabst Blue Ribbon in hand...I didn't want to feel left out. Cheers!

    Also, I don't normally wear shades indoors. However, my mother religiously wear dark lenses everywhere (go yoko!). This is for Renae, who said I had to post a photo of me wearing my sunglasses, since I walked into the office wearing them this morning (long morning). This is also my beer commercial photo:

  • sweater thrifted by way of heather for my where's Wenda(Waldo's girlfriend, interestingly enough there was a love triangle between Wenda, Waldo and her twin sister, Wilma. You can read all about it here. The costume that never happened...I think I was asleep by 10 on Halloween. Boo (and not the frightening kind of boo either)

  • Peter Makowski is My Hero

    About a month or so ago, Heather bought me some sweet fringed suede totonka boots. Since most of my friends are all miniature people, they seem to think I must have gigantic feet. I don't; I wear an 8.5 (hint hint for anyone wanting to give me shoes). Anyway, the boots are about a 10. We joked that our friend Peter should wear them while on stage singing for his band, Accidente, since he gets all sorts of crazy and the boots would be perfect. And guess what? They were (perfect):

    Thank you Peter, for indulging in my fantasies.

    February 25: Deer in Headlights?

    Sorry about the look I'm giving here; I didn't know if my camera was about to go off, and then snap! I need a tripod, in the most terrible of ways.



    info:

  • dress - thrifted
  • boots - frye
  • scarf - vintage YSL (thank you momma)

    To make Monday seem more bearable, here's a dose of the Doom (Nicole). I ran into her and Heather at the laundrette:

  • February 24: I LOVE MARION COTILLARD!

    Hooray for Marion and La Vie en Rose. On the other hand, I was boring today. Also, my legs look stumpy:



    And because I like this photo, for some reason....

    February 23: Rain! Yes! Love!

    This is the last post of photos taken with my canon elph (r.i.p. and good riddance). I bought the D40 today. Hooray!

    I bought these boots off ebay, and my freakishly high arch is making them slightly uncomfortable...bah.

  • shirt - official rugby jersey of otley, yorkshire. it was my mom's boyfriend's team

  • February 22: Looking at Calendars Makes the Weekend Seem So Short

    Thought I'd throw a little disco in my Friday.



    with coat: I FUCKING LOVE THIS COAT! for these reasons:

    1. it's black
    2. it's furry
    3. it was cheap as hell from the good mormons of the deseret industries
    4. it's hot
    5. it also keeps me warm


    info:
  • dress one - F21
  • dress two - F21
  • tights - Urban Outfitters
  • socks - American Apparel
  • boots - thrifted

    I really think the most expensive thing I'm wearing today are my socks.

  • February 21 cont. Sometimes You Just are not in the Mood for Pants Anymore

    After French class, and an emotional wave equivalent of something traumatic and cutting off all of your hair and tinting what's left bright orange, I made the pants I was wearing earlier into shorts. VoilĂ !

    pants off dance off!

    February 21: Glasses, Round 2

    I went outside and realized that it was very wet. I came back inside and realized I haven't worn my rain boots in over a year, so, I put them on. I don't look happy about it.

    I wore my glasses by choice today. I don't know why it's so inconvenient, but at least it's cloudy and usually the reason I don't wear my glasses is for the reason that I want to wear sunglasses, and I suppose I could get some prescription shades, but really, who does that anymore?

    Here's me pushing my glasses up (dork)


    Here's me angry that I had to wear rain boots

    And here are my other glasses. Which are better? Clears or Browns?


    info:

  • the scarf is fabric my mom had from the 80s
  • boots - santee alley purchase
  • cords - billy blues
  • shirt - shanana (from some guy who goes to flea markets and buys old military garments and alters them, met him at the pool show a few years ago)

  • Can't Hardly Wait!!

    So, I am counting down the seconds until I drive my little butt down to the store and buy a Nikon D40. Sexietime photos will have never looked so good.

    Till then!

    xoxo
    Danielle.


    UPDATE!! I had to order my new camera online....so till Friday. waaaa. :(

    February 20: Broken Silicon and Hump Day

    I broke my contact lenses this morning, hence, the glasses. I have no others, off to Costco I go. I was also traumatized by dreams of having mice in my apartment last night. Blasted Meeces!



    glasses? yes? no?


    Also, as a side note/question: can anyone recommend a good hip-hop album? new, good, groovy, think old school mos def, nas, talib....no bullshit, just good rhythms...eryka badu...you know, real shit...none of this over-produced kanye 50 cent blah blah bullshit. ?

    February 19: Bunko Night! or Brass Nipples Explained

    Tonight is Bunko night. It would take me eons to explain how Bunko works, precisely, since it doesn't have a set standard of rules. All I know is that a bunch of ladies get together, drink wine, eat food, roll dice, win prizes, and go home. Fin. I wore suspenders, just in case some ladies step out of line; I'll feel manly enough to put some hoes in check.

  • February 17: Super Stealth, Foggy Edition

    It's still cold here in Salt Lake, which means riding a bicycle at night requires face protection. Also, this is my rendition of the model pose of, "look-oops-i just dropped my keys on the floor-or-wait-i think there's a shit on the floor and i must tip toe around it with twisted feet." Oh My Gawd, I hate Urban Outfitters' models.
