Yumm @ Michael Kors Fall RTW 2010… although it’s kind of depressing cause we haven’t really enjoyed the heat yet!

Round and Round.

A throwback to the baggy-pants days.

Geek out your twitter!

I interrupt your regularly schedule style blog… for a really important tidbit of information…

How to post to Twitter using commandline!

1. Create the Script.

Fire up your terminal and create a script with the following contents:

curl --basic --user "<User>:<Password>" --data-ascii "status=`echo $@|tr ' ' '+'`" "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json"

Substituting <User> for your username and <Password> for your password, of course. The status= accepts your twitter status.

2. Save your script.

mv it to /usr/local/bin or and chmod u+x it.

3. Run it!

Run it like you run tings!

twitter "This is my status update!"

Success! I’m such a nerd that this makes me happy… now I can run terminal (I use it daily anyways) to update my twitter… with useless crap. Incredibly useless crap.

And… I’m done.

Skulls and crystals.

It finally came in! Isn’t it lovely? McQueen, I miss you. I also love that this picture is almost 3D-like. Thanks, 50mm lens, you’re the funnest lens I own (but don’t tell the others)! :)

I hope you’re all enjoying your sunny, hot day - I sure will be… enjoying it over a bottle of Shiraz Grenache and some meatballs that Boyfriend is creating. I like his new hobby :)

Girl, put some pants on.

My desk faces a window - don’t be jealous, it’s a view of condo buildings a stones throw away. There is a female that comes out directly across from me onto her back deck every afternoon and lays in a bean bag chair with her legs up against the railing - and every day, her outfit is a surprise. Last week, she came out with just a blanket. Today, a bikini top and hot shorts.

Yeah, I get it. It’s hot out.

Yeah, outside of myself, it’s a bunch of dudes ogling you - but c’mon woman! Have some self respect. Let’s put your tata’s and booty away! We don’t want to see it - well, I certainly don’t want to see it.

This weekend was nice, but I’m still staring at a monitor. I’m so sad about this.

Sooo…

Snicker, snicker. ;)

Relaxing weekend.

Lots of sun, lots of movies and a splash of reading. New spectacles cause I’m slowly going blind - I’m afraid that by the time I’m old and grey, I won’t be able to see what’s in front of me. Need more carrots! ;)

Paige adds leather!

I love denim and I love leather - and together, they make the perfect match! So, I was pretty glad to hear that Paige is planning on launching a leather line as well.

The first go at leather will include 5 different styles of lambskin jackets that will be releasing in July - prices ranging from $200-325 (not confirmed that this is MSRP).

One of my favourite outfits is really soft, girly, lacy materials coupled with a sexy asymmetrical leather jacket. And a pair of Doc Martens :)

I’m not usually one for the denim companies expanding into other categories (I say stick to what you’re good at), but I have noticed that some Rock & Republic shoes and bags have caught my eye (though I try to convince myself that they aren’t as awesome as I think, just because a denim company designed them). I must get that out of my head.

In other news, I am reading a Stieg Larsson book (the first of the trilogy: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and I can’t put it down - I was skeptical, but after reading 300+ pages in just 3 days, I think it’s safe to say that it’s a good one *thumbs up*. It’s just a shame that I can’t buy this for the Kindle yet (shush boyfriend, you and your Kobo!)

Tibi Calla Lily Dress

In the theme of patterns, I present to you something I want:

TGIF, folks!

Rebecca Minkoff Holiday 2010

I didn’t really coin Minkoff as a fashion designer. Her bags are alright (at one point, I really wanted a Morning After bag, but after I saw it in person, the leather just didn’t rub me the right way). However, I saw the Minkoff dresses (like this one - swooooon!) and my faith was restored.

Rebecca Minkoff Holiday 2010

I love the quilting of the leather! Of course, it’d be something I’d have to touch in person, but that swingpack is definitely an idea.

Toms footwear - Fall 2010

I love shoes. (Almost) any kind (hate Uggs). I am digging the Fall 2010 line of Toms Footwear. I used to say, “if I were a dude, I’d rock those” - but whatever, I’d still rock them, girly-girl and all.  

I want the first pair (purple).. I can see myself sightseeing in those. Or, camping (except, I don’t camp, so when I say “camping”, it’s this imaginary photo-shoot-perfect-like awesome camping extravaganza) (when really, I’m sure it’d just be a tent, rain, and me whining).
