How-To: Cover Up A Cold

I look terrible lately.

These past couple of weeks have slain me. Between the weather and a cold that will not go away and the fact that our house is hovering around negative eighty thousand percent humidity (we have humidifiers going in the bedrooms, but still), I am a shriveled, pale little gremlin, and it’s honestly just best if I stay put right here in my pajamas so that none save for those who are obliged by blood and marriage vows to love me no matter what have to bear witness.

Except it’s been a couple of weeks of this, now. And hibernating for a few days is one thing, but once you get into the double-digits it starts getting a little ridiculous. You need to start seeing people once in awhile, lest they think you died.

So: let’s talk how to look good(ish), even if you’re feeling bad.

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring (So Let’s Talk Stylish Umbrellas)

I was so confused when my son woke me up this morning (with the usual request: "MAMA. ORANGE JUICE").

He's generally pretty good about sleeping until the sun is up - which is good in the winter, not so good in the summer (blackout curtains are on my to-be-purchased list) - but this morning I heard the orange juice announcement when it was still pitch-black outside.

As it turned out, it was 7:17a.m., and he was right on schedule. And it wasn't pitch-black outside, technically. Just gross.

Ick, today is so gross.

The Most Beautiful Bag In The World

I have a lot of bags. I'm OK with that; they're kind of my thing. I love them.

But this bag? This is actually my favorite bag in the world. For real. I first saw it way back in 2012, when it was released as a limited-edition collaboration between Coach and Anna Sui, declared "That is my favorite bag in the world," and have held fast to that opinion in the many, many months that have transpired between then and now.

My Looks

Stars & Stripes & Stolen Sweaters

Look! It's like a Fourth Of July costume, only in the freezing cold!

I love that sweater.

Kendrick doesn't shop for himself a ton, but once in awhile he'll come home with a random t-shirt or sweater or pair of shoes that he found in some off-the-beaten-path place (or, in this case...Urban Outfitters), and it will, without fail, be kind of weird and pretty awesome (recent examples: a Heisenberg t-shirt, a blue striped button-down with embroidered roosters on the shoulders, and a belt with a real dead scorpion inside it).
