Specks Appeal

In an effort to somewhat move away from the "nerd chic" movement, I got some

new glasses.

 New

 Old

Older!

Concealment

Fact: I used a thesaurus to find that word and it is a real word, mind you. 

I wanted an alternate word because the camouflage

not only described my pants but I wanted to go beyond that

and bring attention to the fact that my pants

legitimately blended in with their surroundings. 

Here we have it, concealment. 

Check and Check

Wear wineish colored lipstick, check. Snag another piece from my mom's closet, check. 

Gotta Have It

Well, this was fun.  Before there was Polyvore, I literally would copy pictures of items I wanted and splat paste them on a Word 97 document. Here en lies my lust list, because it's pay day and I feel invincible. Too bad I only get paid once a month. Womp womp. 

Ho, Hum

Not too much excitement in my life this week conferences, bleh.  I was pretty excited to share my new frames I ordered from Warby Parker, but that turned out a little like this...

Just a tad bit large for my apparently petite facial. 

Luckily, they have excellente customer service and I should have some rockin' new specks appeal by Tuesday. 

In other news,

pretty exciting bidness. 

Awesome case that I didn't order 2 weeks before I even had the phone found here. 

Well, I'm settling in on this freezing Fall day with a little bit of

                              this                                       +                                    this

Happy Fall y'all

This guy.

I mean. 

This guy. 

I've never felt so special, beautiful, or respected in my life; and let's face it, I've never had a better time with anyone else. 

Pretty impressive considering my February 2000 journal entry that went a little somethin' like this...

from my Mary-Kate and Ashley diary, mind you. 

Did it Himself

I recently redecorated my room and the last piece to the puzzle was a floating nightstand that I wasn't quite sure existed. So, duh duh duh DUH... Pinterest to the rescue! Found a DIY to fulfill my bedside table dreams. BAM. MIC DROP. 

Exhibit A

If you think this table would also fulfill your interior design hopes, than LISTEN UP.

first: get a crazy handyman of a dad that's super generous and talented to do it himself oh wait, he's occupado, proceed to option B  to do it yourself

Before you go, peep this.

New Music. New Hair.

New digs all around. I seldom check the iTunes free song of the week, but this week's caught my eye and...SURPRISE! There's a HAIRSTYLE to go with it. BAZINGA! I know that wasn't a joke but I watched A LOT of The Big Bang Theory today cleaning my classroom and needed to let it out somewhere. 

Step 1. Go to iTunes and download the free song of the week. Its by A Fine Frenzy. Need I say more?

Step 2. Go here 

I'm gonna forgo the fateful 3rd step that says, "SEE HOW EASY THAT WAS?"

Ergo, I give you this.

How the hairstyle should NOT look. 

Good luck, someone let me know if they meet the unicorn of a person with 3 hands that can roll chopsticks in their hair while keeping the rest of their hair intact. 

Did it myself

Not feeling so hot tonight so I decided it was a night in

to try a do-it-yourself. 

I tried an outfit post but psst have you seen my hair? No. Not happening. 

So this is what I'm working with.

If you can read mirror, the mug purely serves as an AM

confidence boost for boyfriend. 

If you're living under a rock and have

never been on Pinterest then this is for you. 

{DIY}

*Write sappy, creative, ingenious, blunt,

harsh, or candid message on mug with Sharpie

*Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes

I put my hand upon my hip

 

I don't have a fancy iPhone. Yet. So today not at work I made an old fashioned note. Things do in the crispy-air, boot-provoking, sweater-requiring Fall. 

Today I wore this. 

And this. 

I stole the necklace from my mom. Her unaltertedness to a jewel thief at 7am is alarming. Woman could've gotten robbed blind. Blind I tell you.

Today I started a blog

and took a bath with a bug. Yes, I shared my Monday stress reliever with an insect. Granted, our bathroom is being redone so he probably didn't understand what he was imposing on. So, I dealt.

I'm Julia. This is my little blog documenting life, love, and laughs.
