I cut my bangs!

I finally decided I couldnt take my bangs anymore being swooped to the side anymore, I finally blunt cut them straight. I always forget to take photos of the before and after so I finally made the time today on my day off and did this! It was pretty easy, Ive been cutting my hair for years now.

Xoxo everyone!

The denim blues

Howdy-do! Goodness its been really cold lately. It finally reached -5 Sunday night. With another snow storm tomorrow, winter is still here to stay. Im so looking forward to spring. Well one day last week I was going through all the sites I look at, weather its blogs, or whatever. I saw an outfit post somewhere with a denim top and a black skirt. I love my denim button down. Ive become a big fan of throwing blacks, blues and browns together. It had just snowed the day before and whats becoming my new favorite spot was still covered with tons of snow. Before I went to work, I popped outside really quick for a little outfit post.









Again, I am obsessed with over the knee socks!!! I love them sooo much. Ill be a little sad when I cant wear them anymore.



Well things at work have been good! Got the store all set for the big 50% off sale!! (You should go!) I finally have my two days off. So its Tuesday night, its become my Friday night. Im broke as sin too... Sadly lol. Im just hanging out at home with my roommates drinking some wine and watching TV. Honestly, I wouldnt want to spend my night any other way. I finally ordered this awesome book on numerology today. It was .99cents! The shipping cost more haha. I love blogging on my days off. Hopefully Ill be able to get outside before the snow gets bad and take some lovely outfit photos, I already have the outfit in mind as well. Sunday I went and saw my favorite TV show live! I went and saw the Trailer Park Boys live!!! I even got to go on stage and meet them, it was soooooo awesome!! Well I hope everyone else is doing good and staying warm!

Xoxo my lovely readers!!

Cooking in style

Ive really been getting into cooking big meals for myself lately, stuff that I can just eat off all week so I dont have to cook. The meals I cook usually take a little over an hour to make, with stuff in the oven and veggies on the stove. Its so much better for me too, instead of making chicken nuggets and french fries lol. Well my awesome roommate Tegan got me this sweet apron for Christmas, and Ive been wearing it a lot when I cook now. She gave it to me and said, " now even you can cook in style". I love that Tegan is so into my fashion tastes and such. I couldnt thank her enough for such an awesome gift (she also got me this coloring book from etsy, so choice) so this is another big THANK YOU to her!









For dinner, I decided to make one of my favorite meals. I made pasta alfredo, with chicken and mixed veggies. I made sooooo much of it too, Ill be eating it all weekend, which means when I get home from work at night, Ill have a good meal to warm up. Bob used to make this for me all the time and again Id eat it all week haha. I can be a creature of habit sometimes.




Delish!

(No meal is complete with out a cold PBR)

Sorry Ive been lacking in posts. Ive been off the radar a lot lately. Ive given up Facebook for awhile....and Im really proud of myself, I havent been in or put anything up in a week! Ive also been turning my phone off then I get home. This weather has literally put me into hibernation mode. Ive become a huge home body and really dont want to leave my house for anything. Ive been having my friends come over here and hang out. I am in dire need of spring time. Till then, I can still look stylish, even when I cook. Same old stuff been going on, lots of work and improving myself. Doing yoga when I can and trying to stay positive in this depressing weather. Im surviving my first Boston winter so far, but I see its going to be -5 degrees Sunday.... oh boy. Im also going to see my favorite people live! Im going to see the Trailer Park Boys live Sunday. Ive been catching up on my movies too. I finally saw The Social Network, and BLACK SWAN! I finally watched it.... it was awesome. Im currently downloading The Kings Speech and Tegan and I plan to watch The Kids are Alright soon.

I hope everyone else has been doing good and staying warm and positive!! Once spring hits, Ill have lots to blog about because there are so many beautiful place in Jamaica Plain to hang around. With that, everyone stay lovely!!! I heart you all! Xoxo.

A snow leopard amoung panthers.

Hey everyone! Enjoying the weather where ever you are? Well Boston had a big snow storm roll in and when I woke up the next morning, it was white everywhere! The funny thing was, it was only 28/30 degrees outside, so it looked worse than it was! I finally had my day off and decided to go play in the snow! I got a new pair of over the knee socks!!! You all know how much I love them. I could pass up a chance to wear shorts again with tights and socks!


(My Julie pose lol)





So after that last picture, a man was walking up the street...and decided to literally watch me for 5 minutes take photos. Awkward! So I decided to move my location to around the house where no one was. I was enjoying being in the open with no one around, way to go guy.

My poor bike, its just to heavy for my to put it down stairs, I got to move it soon before it gets worse outside.




So one of my Christmas presents was this AMAZING snow leopard scarf!








I really was having so much fun in the snow.


Earlier this week, I was interviewed about my blog by a really lovely lady by the name of Alice. It was soooo cool to be asked to do that and she was an awesome lady. Very stylish. It was so cool to get to talk about my blog with someone who was very interested in it. Work has been going well, its still gonna take a few to settle into working full time after working part time hours for so long. Im really enjoying the new year so far, Ive been making it a positive one. I recently got my right wrist tattooed too. I have so much fun things coming up too! New York Fashion week with Jessy Baum! Trailer Park Boys live next weekend! Im also painting again, which always makes me feel better.

I think Im gonna take a break from dating, I am getting a bit fed up with men these last few days and its just something I can take out of my life to make it less stressful. So when the right one just comes along, Ill be around, but until then Im laying low. Ive been spending some awesome and much needed girl time with my roommate Tegan lately. We're actually going up to the bar later today to grab a few beers. My friend Esben is in town from Florida too! So I plan to get tattooed by him.

To all my friends and family back home! I love and miss you all!!!!




PS. Let the games being!


PSS. Thanks for baring with me, I know I kinda went a little picture crazy lol.
XOXO!!

The text said "Out front"

Hey everyone! So I officially went full time this week at work, asst. manager! Now I have Wednesdays and Thursdays off. A couple of days ago my best friend Jessy Baum of Mascara or Motor Oil sent me a box of magic! In that box was this amazing gold skirt that I had to wear today with my new Forever21 heels! I have been wanting a pair like this sooooo bad! Keiko Lynn (click here for her blog) has a pair of studded shoes and I just love studs. It is so nice outside today I had to take advantage of it weather before the snow rolls in again tomorrow.

Oh yeh, it was time to bring out my heart sunglasses again. Means Im in a very happy mood.

I cant get enough of over the knee socks!







By this point, it was time to take the heels off...




I love to twirl around :-)


Ive been enjoying my two days off this week, and Im looking forward to a good work weekend. I recently bought a yoga mat again and have been getting back into doing yoga more regularly at home and its really been the best thing. I dont feel as tired during the day. I did yoga for so long in FL it sucked not having a chance to do it up here yet. Its nice to be getting back into the swing of things. Since I have a set schedule now as well I feel less stressed out about things. I really am glad Im staying in Boston. Its been rough, dont be fooled, but Im doing really well for myself and my mom is really proud of me. Last night I went out with a very charming man, who took me out for burgers and beers. It was the first time I had a cheese burger in a long time. I also finally meet another person who knew about DCI hahaha. (If you dont know, its Drum Corp Internationals for us band people)

Things have been really good for me since the new year, and Im just hoping it continues. Im eating slightly better and finding myself less stressed out lately, which is awesome. Nothing but positive thoughts and good things to come!


Ps. I heart you all! Thank you everyone for continuing to follow and reading my blog.


Xoxoxo!

Lovely in green.

It was my first Christmas away from home. I was invited to Tegan's family holidays, I got to take the train out after I got off work the 24th. That night we were at her aunts house for a light dinner and a few gifts. The food was delicious. I stayed the night at Tegan's and woke up for a lovely Christmas morning. I had bought a dress last minute at work and it was a good call. So pretty, this velvet green vintage dress. The back yard was so beautiful and there was still snow on the ground from the few days before.



One of the ornaments on the tree were these amazing bright red birds with gold glitter. I at first wanted to put one in my hair, but it just wasnt clipping in right. I decided to keep it and just hold onto it.


It was chilly outside but we were only out there for a few minutes. I took my jacket off right before. What really made this outfit come together is my awesome gold bow belt. I got it back home in FL and I think I paid .75cents. It was the perfect accessory for this outfit. I was having a really good hair day too.


Christmas was lovely. I got a lot a fun things from my family and Tegan's family made me feel so welcomed. I hope everyone else had a great Christmas and a fun New Years. 2011 has so much in store for it. Xoxo!

This town, is coming like a ghost town.

I love that song by The Specials, "Ghost Town". So I survived my first Boston snow storm! I had to walk home in it right before it got to bad, I made it, but it sucked. I ended up getting snowed in! Its not like I couldve ever gotten "sanded" in in Florida. I took a peek out the window on Monday and there was no one to be seen and everything was white. It looked like a ghost town. Well I pretty much stayed in bed all day. For some reason, I decided to go outside and take a few pictures in the snow. Ended up being really cool.

Jamaica Plain as a Ghost Town










Knee deep in snow!










Well on my way back to my camera... I ended up falling in the snow... great timing too!

I heard the timer go off so I just decided to look up and say "Oh well"

It wasnt to bad outside either. Nice and cool. It was really windy at the pond, but when is it not whenever I go down there lol. So yeh, I survived my first Boston snow storm. I hear its been a mild winter here... which I am NOT complaining lol. I hope everyone has been doing well and had a good new year! Im such a slacker I didnt post any cool recaps of the year. 2010 was a good year for me blog wise, but other wise it couldve been way better... so no need to go over it lol. XOxoxo!
