Happy Weekend

                                 My Saturday was spent walking around Brooklyn with Nickie and our other friend Bridget, browsing through the flea market which I had no idea went on during the winter, then doing a little bar crawl around our neighborhood. The weather was gorgeous and I was thankful to not have to bundle up from place to place. I even went with knee socks instead of tights, and my poncho instead of a coat. Oh can Spring just get here already? Today I plan on updating my blog shop: Shop Idee's Closet  , with some Spring items and have already reduced the price of the items left for sale. I also want to get some more headbands up in my Etsy so I'll be knitting away until my little fingers can't stand it anymore. I have a cute idea in mind so I'm hoping that it all works out when I try it. Lets keep our fin...

Since I haven't yet decided if i'm going to post Wednesday's outfit on my blog, I am grateful to have a backup outfit already photographed and ready to post! You see, after talking to some of the other bloggers who take their pics out in public I thought I'd be brave and take my tripod to work and snap a few pics on the street.

Ugghh boy. Yes, I much prefer the (semi) privacy of my backyard. This is definitely a weekend look for me. Something comfty, cozy and not too fussy.

With all of the hype around fashion week I realized that I seldom pay attention to desi...

Wow, this has been the most unproductive day for me ever. The only thing I accomplished was taking these outfit pictures and that was all before 11am. After that, everything just went downhill. Lucky for you though, you get 2 posts in one day. I threw this on to leave my house (once!) for a quick coffee run and picked up a vegan scone while I was there. The joys of having a vegan friendly coffee shop up the street. And well, that was about it. I got back home and caught up on some reading, as I just received my Nylon magazine's November issue! NOVEMBER!! Are they kidding? Are they aware that I currently have the December issues of Marie-Claire and Glamour already in my possession? And they wonder why I haven't sent in a subscription renewal yet.... I bought this..urmm cape? no, poncho? yes I believe it would fall under the poncho category, last year at a small little (overpriced) vintage store near my house. I didn't wear it then, as I think I was a little ahead of time. B...
