She's malaria






I've recently acquired the habit of taking outfit pictures right before the sun goes down. You know what goes up as the sun goes down? The number of mosquitoes who want to feast on my type-A blood. I'm pretty sure if I keep this up I'll have contracted malaria, West Nile virus, Yellow Fever, Rainbow Fever, Barmah Forest virus, or some mosquito-borne disease by the end of the summer. But I love me some good bokeh, so suck on that, mosquito. Literally. See what I did there?

I like this skirt. A lot. I've worn it before. Remember? Yeah, you do. In fact, the latter look was featured recently right here, which I'm thrilled about. I get a kick out of seeing my face on other blogs. You like me, you really like me!

Brownie points to whomever knows what song the title of my post came from. Congratulations! You are officially as uncool as me.

  4. I declare myself uncool along with you. It's LA Guns.

    That asymetrical skirt is so awesome. I have a dress that goes down to my ankles, and because it's not quite a maxi dress, I am not too in love with it, and I was thinking about doing it a re-fashion favor by turning it into an asymetrical dress, to look like your skirt, give it some coolness, you know.

    I also love your tanktop but I am unsure my mini boobs would rock it as bad because I suffer from acute case of emptyness in that area -sigh-. I need a boob pump. I think.

  5. The asymmetrical skirt is just amazing. I am such a fan of asymmetrical clothing but this may be one of the best skirts I have seen in quite awhile. And I can totally relate with the mosquitoes!

  6. LA GUNS!!! I see I'm not the first to know it so it might appear that I didn't know and just cheated. But I really did know. Really.

    You know how much I love this skirt. The high-low skirt is my favorite right now. I think I own like 3 so far. In skirt and dress form. Yay, us!

    You are the gorgeous one. And I don't think we could tell each other enough. It's nice to hear or rather it's nice to read.

    xoxo,

  7. What a great feature- alongside celebs no less! Great shape of the skirt and I love how you kept the styling simple. YES- Baby that's who it is! I was thinking I looked like someone from way back when, sigh I love that movie...

  9. I love it! Very theatrical! I'd be very interested in a "who has the most mosquito bites in an hour" contest. In fact, that's a challenge if we ever meet! Still living the after-glory of my earrings worn by you! Me happy. I'll. make. more!! :)

    P.S. - Please, please take a pic of the pink ones too! Pleeeaseeee?

  11. Just after coming back from an aborted attempt at an outfit photoshoot after a swarm of midges descended upon me so I can definitely empathise. Love your outfit :)

  12. love the skirt, is this a mullet skirt??

  13. Yes, the skirt is amazingly beautiful and, yes, your outfit looks great. But...

    ... I'm mesmerized by something else. Your personality. I've been around a long time and have met a lot of people. I can usually size up strangers quickly -- too quickly, in fact, which bores me. Rarely do I find a truly interesting person.

    You interest me. And perplex me. You display various and even contradictory attributes. You're young and yet you're mature. You're playful and yet you're melancholic. You're smart and yet you're irreverent. You're blessed with physical beauty and yet there's an air of tragedy about you.

    I'm going to have to meet you in person someday. I'll never get to the bottom of this conundrum otherwise.

  14. love the skirt sweetie!!! love its hemline! and those shoes are amazing!

  15. I have the same problem with those pesky blood suckers. Maybe they just really like well dressed ladies

    ReplyDelete

  16. You are definitely right about the bugs, I've got three icky bites on my arm and I wont leave them alone.

    Did I mention I love those wedges? Gorgeous.

  17. This skirt is something-- quite sexy yet sophisticated. Yeah isn't the mosquito our state bird?

    ReplyDelete

  18. Your hair always looks so freakin' perfect. I can't get over it.
    I also love how you look mysterious in these pictures.
    I think they should have cast you in "Twilight" instead of that stupid Kristen Stewart. She's a nasty ho. You're drop dead beautiful.
    P.S. I am not a fan of "Twilight." I might be if you were the star, though.

  23. you look gorgeous as always Ashley. I'm in awe of those wedges and that skirt. Just be careful you don't get bitten to death, because we'd miss you too much. We don't really get mosquitoes in England so those little blood suckers are really starting to piss me off in Korea!

  28. LA GUNS!

    Hi sweetie! It's been forever. Long story. But as always, you still look gorgeous. Your locks are still dark! And your style is still impeccable. I adore your skirt, and your background. You always manage to find the most scenic environments. And I'm all for wearing beloved items again and again - that's what makes them classic.

    It good you're not allergic to mosquito bites as one of my friends. She needed to take antihistamines after innocent cocktail sipping in the outdoor bar. It was terrible!

  58. I really like your stance in the first picture. Also, I know why you keep wearing that skirt- because it's awesome!

  59. I love your hair. You look a lot like I imagine Bella Swan does after she's turned into a vampire. Forgive me my lameness... (She's supposed to look gorgeous)

    Love the outfit

  60. Aw you so pretty. The mosquitos only want to bite you so that can touch your prettiness. Fact.

    Another fact: I've never been bitten by a mosquito in my life. It kind of terrifies me actually.

    You look fabulous, though.

  61. Wow girl you look stunning - I adore the skirt x

  63. aww poor mozzi-bitten you! Rumour has it drinking gin and tonics fends them off (and if not.. well.. you get to drink g&ts!)
    I love this skirt. I saw one similar in a shop today and thought - cool skirt, but can I make it work. You certainly have!

  66. Looove your skirt, I keep seeing all these assymetrical skirts on blogs and it's making me want to buy one, but I desperately need to curb my spending!

    ReplyDelete

  67. Great skirt. There's so many of this style around, I've been searching for a while. Also can't beat JC'S, they're the best shoes known to man.
