this is by far the funniest fashion blog everrrrrrrrrr.

if you are on the "women dress for women, not men" team, then you will love this girl! a virtual collection of the fashion world's most unflattering outfits, the man repeller points out how you too can be celibate this weekend.

take my word for it, she is pure laughs. and the photos are inspirational too. and, ugh...as if it weren't bad enough that she was insanely witty, seemingly intelligent and extremely articulate, bitch is gorgeous too!

read, laugh, repell...

yeah, i did it again.

2010-10-09T22:51:00.005-04:00

holy, time flies!!a whole two and half months of no posts? i haven't disappeared folks, i've just been ~~lazy~~ busy.

update: i have been working lots and lots and allofthetime. i no longer have a social life. i still peruse the blogosphere...but then get too tired to post anything i find. i am brunette now. i have been to florida only once since last we spoke. i sleep a lot. there, done.

please consider this my appology...

2010-04-25T20:16:00.003-04:00

it has come and gone. over a year since i have been blogging here. it feels irrelevant since i have been reading blogs and collecting photos for over 7 years now.

in any case, i thank you, all of you. for reading this. for providing me with photos. for fueling my inspiration. for the love i feel via comments and follows.

love you all and happy anniversary...to you and to me and to di fabulous!

so soon...

2010-04-11T18:05:00.004-04:00

things are happening so fast. i can't keep up.

it's almost time for this too, how quickly did that happen? only a month and a bit before satc 2!

i don't care what skeptics have to say, i have faith this will be epic.

oh...and i am a little more invested in it now that, well, you know...

p.s. for those that don't know, big is the spokesperson for biotherm homme, where i now work. so we're kinda close now ;)

while switching dvds, i came across broken flowers on ifc and there was this woman on screen who looked so familiar but i couldn't. quite. figure. out...TILDA SWINTON!?

yup. god, who knew how completely chameleon-like she really is!?

answer the phone!

juliet's window

2010-02-28T21:35:00.004-05:00

i bought my home over two years ago. i fell in love with instantly but what really sold me was the european style windows that open on to the front balcony. i have a little bistro table set up there in the summer and i feel like i have a little piece of paris or italy with me. they're just so pretty and cozy.

lovers in a dangerous time

2010-02-28T21:32:00.003-05:00

blog crush: swedish girls

2010-02-19T22:28:00.004-05:00

sure, she's a model, which always helps. but lowe also shares a last name with a set of pretty famous fashion twins. she's gorgeous and i lover her style.

then there's ellen, with hair that i thought only existed in fairy tales...or maybe swedish folklore? beautiful.

2010-02-13T17:05:00.004-05:00

i have been unemployed for almost a year now. it was a struggle to remain positive and brave and hold out for that perfect solution. i tried a lot of different things. nothing that stuck. nothing that i regret.

starting monday, i am embarking on an exciting new chapter of my life. it happened quickly and very unexpectedly. i was hired for what is essentially my "dream job".

i would like to take a second to remind any of you out there who are in a similar situation, that you really have to never stop believing. i knew it was a matter of time. i didn't let others influence me. i didn't let the time that went by go wasted. and i stuck to my guns and waited (proactively) for it to come.

i now feel like i am in a totally different place then i was just a little under a year ago. i am truly ready for this life change. and i know that this blog is a part of that. thanks for sticking with me through the ups and downs. we're on a good streak now and i plan on keeping it that way ;)

stay inspired. keep believing. xoxo andy
