The Weekend.

I...

-got the Sartorialist's book for my birthday and proceeded to pore over it for quite a long time and I still haven't even finished it which makes me happy. (Really, it's an amazing book and I know you know that already, but I'm just still constantly fascinated at the way that all these different people put themselves together. Whether they're wearing 3 garments or layering on 13, the creativity is stunning and completely inspiring and I could look at it forever because there's always something new to see. Ok done with that rant. Thank you for the gift, P. Obviously I love it.)
-wore the same men's flannel shirt for like 3 days in a row. It's not gross, I promise. I changed for the evening festivities. It's the best most comfortable shirt and has just that right fit where it hangs loosely but not unflattering-ly.
-shopped with my mom at Anthropologie (favorite) where we each bought the same jacket (in different colors) which proves that that store really must be some kind of alternate universe.
-watched Conan's last show which was really bittersweet but mostly just bitter because I love watching him, but still sweet because he won't be working for stupid NBC and I'm excited to see what he'll do next.
-did lots of shopping. (excellennnt) Found a new boutique that just opened 2 months ago by someone almost my age. (inspiring)
-ate a lot of cupcakes. And sushi. (two of my favorite things)
-had an all-around delightful birthday weekend in which I enjoyed the company of my darling friends and family and husband (thank you so much everyone, I love you).

-found Vanessa Jackman's streetstyle blog that all the amazing pictures in this post are from.





How about you? Any highlights?
...Is anyone else having Gossip Girl withdrawal?

Why, happy birthday, internet-twin! All the best to you :)

[And I say twin because I agree about EVERYTHING. Anthro is amazing, Conan is way too good for NBC and cupcakes and sushi are superior to any edibles in the universe :) ]

OMG! I looove the first picture of the girl in the sweater! and I love her hair! Can you get that sweater for me pretty please! and I must see this jacket that both you and mom like. how odd. and I miss Gossip Girl too, but not as much as I missed Desperate Housewives when it was on a break.

I'm so glad you are enjoying the book! I feel like I've had a bad gift-giving streak lately so it makes me happy that you're happy!!!

It was great to spend time with you for your birthday! We need to plan a weekend where I come visit and we can go thrift/boutique/anthro shopping! I'm also having a bad fashion streak and I need your help!

luv you!
