Walk a mile in my moccasins. Or ten.





These pictures are from Saturday when I toted my boyfriend along with me to the Park Point garage sales. It wasn't all that thrilling. It was a lot of walking. A lot of junk. A lot of guys riding around on bikes looking for old marbles. Yeah. I scored a dirty blazer for free and a pair of earrings for a dollah, but other than that? Bust! Except we stopped for ice cream later, which was delicious and apparently had 500 calories. And we probably walked about 10 miles in total since I parked waaaaaay the hell away from Park Point because I anticipated a lot of traffic (which there wasn't) and also because I am the cheapest savviest girlfriend you know and didn't want to pay $2 for parking.

So anyway, this is me, trying to rock a 60s inspired outfit. I'm thinking Brigitte Bardot with a tweeeeest. No?

I'm blogging from my iPhone right now. Amazing stuff I tell you! Will catch up on all yer lovely blogz later, loves!

Jacket: J. Crew

  5. Bardot: You got the distinctive hairstyle down pat; you have the self-satisfied smile just right; you have the irreverent attitude on display; and you certainly have the roaring good looks. Bingo!

  6. Far prettier than Bardot! :) I'm loving your hair like that! Is it just me or is your hair darker? Maybe it's just the lighting - looks darker with less red in it. Either way, you still look fabulous, my dear! x x

  12. too bad the garage sales were a bust. I hate when that happens but at least you got some ice cream. That always puts a smile on face.

  14. I thought you dyed your hair darker when I first saw this pic in my reader! It looks darker, no? I'm loving the stripes with the blazer, you can never go wrong with a combo like that!

    And haha, I hate when things are a bust, but ice cream always helps fix things :)

  17. Lovely look! You're nailing BeBe's look for sure!! Love the ice-cream part, but I'm not sure I've ever seen an i-phone! Oh wait... yes, once! I'm a technology expert! Kisses!! (I wouldn't have paid for parking either! We never learn, do we??)

  19. I needs me a black blazer, Bridgitte. You look great with the poufy hair!

    I love garage sales, even when I end up not buying anything. But you said you got something for free? :)

  21. Oh, but Ms. Bardot, the ice cream was actually negative calories because you walked enough to burn 1500!! WIN.

    You look gorgeous. This new hair color is just stunning on you. Your boyfriend is a lucky boy. Is he aware of this? I think he is.

  22. Your hair is very Bardot! I love the chic and cool look of this ensemble. Re: earrings - what I do is tear a strip off a good facial cleansing wipe and carefully wipe the whole earring front and back - and hope for the best! I haven't caught anything yet! xxxx

  25. There is a certain B Bardot look about you here. Not kidding. And saving $2 totally makes sense.

  27. They don't have garage sales in Korea. Lame. Or in England really, come to think about it- we just have car boot sales (they just sell out of the trunk of the car- is that common in the States??!)
    You look amazing as usual Ashley, I think I love you.

  28. Blogging on the i-phone eh? Oh you youngins these days! ;) I love the moccasins- I don' think I've ever owned a pair but it's never too late! I have been such a baller recently- did valet parking twice this week (although I blame it on my inability to parallel park or leave my house on time!)

    P.S. Open toed sandals for work=yes for me but I'm not the most professional dresser for work so don't take my advice!

  29. iphone blogging, seriously! I would have never known. Now I'm more in love with this technology! BTW I think I've missed it, but what are you in grad school for? Is it something to do with medicine, cuz it is three years long!!!

    And yeh people are planning to tear that building down. Soon, Canadians will have no historical proof left of their heritage and we'll all be identical people living in matchbox apartments. Exciting!!!

    Love

  31. There is something about a black and white striped tee that brings me back to the 1960s. I love the whole look! The blazer really ties everything together. And the garage sales sound like so much fun. I love rummaging for things! xx
