i'm in the corner....








soooooo scenario- superbowl. fun, friends, drinking, commenting on commercials.....sneaking off to the snowy backyard to take some grainy iphone pics while everyone wonders why we are missing the halftime show?  yes, this really does happen, almost on a daily basis.  spent sunday having a girls day of plays, pizza, and cocktails before finally deciding to join society for the game but realizing photo ops are so much better.  brought out the bronze docs once more, the snow and ice were not something to attempt in my usual 6 inch heels.  faintly jealous of amanda's over the knee boots, but worked off the jealousy by scaling the brick walls behind the house while we avoided being impaled by icicles.  accidentally gestured and threw my fave ring into the snow, which resulted in about 5 minutes of frantic searching.  another lazy day of doing something and nothing, all at once.....

so just lay your head down low, don't let anybody know...



typical weekend, although somehow all the stars were aligned and we managed to make to monday unscathed but with the satisfaction that all outfits and makeup fell into place.  saturday night was a departure for us, going to salsa night at a local bar (i felt strangely out of place, like baby in dirty dancing... i almost wanted to say "i carried a watermelon" but i was too busy learning the moves...one two step......) and a lazy day on sunday hitting up our hookah bar for some girl time and smoothies- and hookah, of course (orange flavor).  i have to say saturday was the high point of the evening, as amanda wore her favie coat that echoed a salsa dancers skirt and i somehow layered a day of eyeshadow plus my new faves to come up with a bruise like shade that i didn't want to wash off at the end of the night. unexpected and totally out of the box, do you expect anything else??!

another by kelly lenard (see her in my last post here and also here), still from spending a weekend of drinking all night and driving around finding the most abandoned places to take pics during the day. i can't believe she found the only piece of green in the cold and frozen landscape, and this is why i absolutely love her and her talent.  found this shirt which, while not providing any sort of warmth to speak of, looks the closest thing to a sports jersey i can bear to put on so it works for me.  the lazer cut is absolutely amazing, but i always have a tinge of nervousness wearing it since i usually wear things that are way less delicate.  although i felt i had to tiptoe through the ready to collapse surroundings (we almost died from fear and laughter while i tentatively sat on an old tractor tire in the old attached barn while we both paid more attention to the ceiling that looked like the bottom of a trampoline with a group of gradeschoolers on top of it than taking pictures), we loved the feeling of near criminal behavior as we snuck through brokedown houses.
