Spring day









I would like to thank Mr. Two Eyes in the Mirror for taking the fantastic, wonderful, absolutely stunning photos of me (I usually hear about it later if I don't give credit where credit is due). We had a lovely spring afternoon a few days ago. We went to a park in this cute little community and walked around. We had another picnic (this time it was packed in an oh-so-fabulous plastic bag) and played a little bball. Shot some hoopz. Yo. And then I made him take a bunch of pictures of me like I always do. Ahhh, the joys of being in a relationship with a personal style blogger. Good thing I usually take my own pictures. I don't feel like I'm pissing my tripod off when I decide I need a few more shots of my bitch ass self (100 isn't nearly enough to choose from, is it?).

This is yet another one of those I-could-and-will-wear-this-in-a-multitude-of-ways skirt. The color is a little more drab than what I normally pick out, but that's what makes it exciting. I'm thinking of wearing it with a black tank or sweater next. Or is that too boring and expected?

P.S. The song--which no one got, by the way--I was referring to in the last post was "Diamonds & Guns" by the Transplants. You know? Diamonds and guns, diamonds and guns...flowers and trees, flowers and trees. Same thing, right? Yeah. No. Maybe. I rawk.

P.P.S. I wrote a guest post for Miss Sian of Rebel Angel. Check it out here!

  3. Oooh, I love the skirt! Your Mr. took wonderful pics of you! And 100 pictures are never enough, I've tried explaining this to my photographer (my boyfriend) but he just doesn't get it ; ) All I hear is, "Don't you have a tripod??"

  5. I can't be original--I *have* to echo everyone else. Because your skirt is FABULOUS. You're right, that's something to wear a thousand ways, with everything.

    Your picnic sounds utterly delightful! Hasn't it been beautiful lately?

  6. That's so true, mr. two eyes in the mirror is so talented (I am sure the model is very helpfull too!).
    You know what I love in your blog? It is that you really have your own style. You never copy anything and your pictures and outfit are easy to recognize. I mean, your blog is you, it's obvious that it's very personnal. That's why I love it.
    If once you and Mr. come to Paris, please tell me!

  7. Oh, that skirt. Absolutely love it. And I think a black tank or sweater is fab. I don't think anything is expected or whatever. I think that the skirt is unique and stands alone as an interesting piece. Therefore you can wear anything with it and it will still be unique. You know?

    Have a fab weekend. I'm happy you had a fun time with Mr. TEITM.

    xoxo,
    Tracy
