je suis un pistolet, il semble.

eBay, charity, trash, Goodwill, friends ...

2009-04-08T12:01:00.000-07:00

Upon entering my closet a week ago, I decided it was time for an overhaul. I don't throw things away (clothes can always come back in, right? ... WRONG).

I saw a news clip one day that said that you can change your entire wardrobe by simply getting rid of pieces that you don't LOVE. Basic turtleneck ... charity. Old David Bitton T ... Abby. Millions of scarves (why do I have so many? I'm a Texan for God's sake!) ... charity. Cynthia Vincent shoes I bought on a whim and now hate because they are too big ... eBay!

I already feel fantastic. I even threw away some clothes. There isn't a reason in the world to keep a cluttered closet. Will keep posted. In the meantime, watch for sales so you can make me rich and organized. My eBay name is "soszusto" ... : )

P.S. I miss London ... my closet didn't have enough room to have clutter.

yummy and useful ?!

2009-03-30T15:45:00.000-07:00

Haha ... I love this article !!

biker chic

2009-03-27T08:50:00.000-07:00

So my look attempted biker chic (not like chick ... chic). I've decided to name my looks from now on ... and to remember that I'm meant to be a good dresser (I have the closet for it).

My loves of the day:

the new Nordstrom Rack across the highway from North Park.

weekends.

this outfit .......

GOT 'EM !

2009-03-25T11:33:00.000-07:00

So I one-upped the leather skirt ... with leather shorts. Believe it.

Which is worse ?

I want it all.

2009-03-24T14:44:00.000-07:00

LOVE ME SOME SHOPSTYLE.COM!

2009-03-24T14:21:00.000-07:00

This is such a FUN website.
Search your favorite brands and add them to your stylebook. Arrange them into your outfits or "closet" as I like to call them... so fun.

My oh-so-typical outfit. My boss calls it "Scuba Jane" but I call it me. :)

I want this dog ...

Stella McCartney for H&M, Mary Kate and Ashley for Wal-Mart (?), Proenza Schouler for Target ... If a fashionista has EVER been excited about a designer partnership ... this is the one one to flip over.

Christmas Shopping !

2008-11-06T08:35:00.000-08:00

My Christmas shopping has begun. I already made my list of things to get people and ... best of all - my iPhone has an application (Santa's Little Helper) to keep track of everything for me. My dream come true.

My discovery of the holiday season: www.excitations.com

Give people a memory ... not a thing. And maybe share it with them. How nice. : )

2008-11-04T08:50:00.000-08:00

loves it

2008-09-22T19:37:00.000-07:00

OK so the new Edie Rose line for DKNY Jeans is fantastic. It is so Susie it's not even funny. I never knew that Rachel Bilson's style was so much like mine.

Prices aren't too high and the pieces can easily be matched with anything - it's very versatile. I really like the mix of yellow with white and black. I think it might need a bit more bite in the next go-round, though.

Here's a link to the DNKY site

HOTT.

... p.s. I want to start drinking scotch. : )
I think it would look better with some outfits to have a scotch in hand!

creativity reborn

2008-09-22T14:05:00.001-07:00

OK so they say that everyone needs a muse to reach their full potential as a creative thinker --- sadly, mine moved away. BUT thank you, God for sending me someone who has helped me reignite my free-thinking mind.

I was in a huge rut for a long time - not dressing to my full potential, refusing to do my hair or shave my legs often, being a boring slob, etc. I'm done with it!

My favorite Cuban Reuben has made me realize that I can't let myself stay in my rut- I'm better than

that ! SO - from now on, the legs will be on display (sans prickles!), the hair will be done, working out will begin again (watch out Katy Trail - you don't know what's coming), my friggin fabulous wardrobe will see the light of day or the fluorescent night lights again, and I will really get my blog update once in a blue moon.

Thanks, Lex - a.k.a. Betty Rubble. : )

lesson learned ....

2008-08-23T10:57:00.001-07:00

A very valuable lesson:

A great dress does not a great night make.

after a long absence ...

2008-06-02T17:45:00.000-07:00

Sorry to have been absent for so long ... I just graduated and had many dresses to buy for the multiple brunches, parties, stage walks, etc. I think I did well with all!

On a sad note, RIP Yves St. Laurent
He really changed the face of fashion. Read The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake. Amazing.

ok let's be for real here ... a $5,000 phone ? I would hire someone to be responsible for it. I can imagine my little future helper running behind me answering my $5,000 phone while trying to still keep my umbrella above my head. One day ...

SAVE YOURSELF !

2008-04-22T20:16:00.000-07:00

ok - so apparently there's a rapist in Uptown ... protect yourself with something cute !

on the cusp ...

2008-04-15T12:50:00.000-07:00

Maybe one of the best things that has happened to me all day...

CUSP, the boutique by Neiman Marcus which caters to a younger, "hipper" crowd has launched its website.
Happy days.

(Did I mention it -- along with Baked and Wired the cupcake shop -- is the only good thing about Washington, D.C.?)

bonjour, target

2008-04-11T22:31:00.000-07:00

So after a long absence from my favorite place (target) ... I stumbled upon the current GO international line -- super fantastic mustards, navies, and greys - mixed masterfully at that. Run and get it before the disgustingly boring Jovovich-Hawk spring collection rears its ugly head - might I add my disappointment in the Converse One Stars, too ? It's hurtful.

"Run, Fatboy, Run" was HILARIOUS. Thanks to my favorite Russian, I made it to a late-night showing at the Inwood Landmark Theater ... my new theater of choice (they have a cute, little bar!) It's a must-see for anyone who even mildly liked "Sahun of the Dead" ... it also really brought back some amazing memories of London. It made me want to move back in a big way.

cou cou !

2008-04-09T08:13:00.000-07:00

Hey, y'all.

I'm going to try one of these out. Don't judge if it sucks. : )

First things first, though ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, McNABB !!
