One of my last sets of Summer 2009 pictures (maybe I should save a set for the bleak days of January?), these are pictures from a brunch I went to with my parents and sister, plus lattes later with my friend Mel, who is a make-up artist for MAC. Oh, for those hot summer days. Weather.com has generously given me the temperature at 41F. Brr. Sadly it isn’t supposed to be much warmer in California! Sad day.

I currently have a lingering black eye from two weekends ago, so I haven’t been taking many pictures of myself. Ergo, I am going to post some backlogs of old pictures from this summer that I never got around to posting.
I thought these would be apt because I dressed up as Lady Gaga for Halloween (my friend’s camera died, so I’m not sure if there are any pictures) and these were the shoes I wore. This isn’t really a summery outfit, but I was test driving my then-new jacket for fall. I do not regret buying a leather jacket AT ALL. I wear it pretty much daily when it isn’t rainy, which hasn’t been very often lately, even in London!
Wearing: H&M Headband, Nordstrom White Button-Down, Nordstrom Leather Jacket, H&M Acid Wash Legging Jeans, Michael by Michael Kors Heels, H&M Necklaces, Essie Nail Polish.

Top: Talbots, Shorts: H&M, Necklace: H&M, Shoes: Charles by Charles David, Sunglasses: Nordstrom Men’s
Yeah, you read that right: my top is from Talbots, purveyor to the older professional ladies and grannies a like. My mother works there and so my sister and I end up spending some time in the shop. You might be surprised. Sure, 90% of it you’d never wear in a million years except as a laugh, but once and awhile my sister and I get some real gems. This tank is super soft and sheer and really comfortable and not at all frumpy. Read this blog long enough and you’re sure to see more of my Talbots finds.
On another note, those white shorts have been in my drawers for the past three or four years and are still blindingly white. I am really impressed. They are also one of my first even H&M purchases, from their first West Coast store in San Francisco. My shoes are hot pink satin ballet flats, which you can’t see well in the grass, but I wear them a lot so you’re sure to see them again in the future.
I am thinking about getting an acrylic fill for my nails. Like not tips, just trim my nails back to the quick and get a fill over that to keep them nicer. I have really peeling/splitting nails. Even vitamins hasn’t helped them. Plus I work in a stable. It’s a bad combo.
Expect some interesting hairdos in the next week or two as my fringe is becoming unbearable and I will have to pin it back.
P.S. That is my dog Beans. Expect more pics of her.
