Can't Wait Til Memorial Day....

I officially have spring fever.

When will it be warm enough for no jacket necessary?????

No words. Wait! I want that bikini top...must stop evil evil tan lines!

Vintage Kate Vogue 1993...Beauty and the Beach.

So Fetch.

Perfect summer hair. I hope one of my summer housemates knows how to french braid!

Real People Part Deux

I've spoken recently about "hometown heroes" like Joe Biden and Ryan Phillipe, but one I haven't mentioned is an awesome girl I actually have known for 11 years/went to high school with/am friends with/see on a quasi-regular basis...."supermodel" Melody Woodin. Most people might not know her by name, but she's the leggy blonde in the most recent Loreal/Feria commercial with Beyonce.

The commercial itself is probably on youtube.

My friends/housemates/besties summer 2004 in our beach house pre-toga party. Best summer of my life by far. I wish I could find more pics. We worked at the same hole-in-the wall bar all summer and she was the only person that could fill the ice machine without a stool....

Customer: how tall are you?

Mellie: 6'2

Customer: why the hell are you working here? Move to New York!

Annnd the rest is history I suppose. We all knew she'd be an amazing model, but it was still crazy the first few times she was in magazines/ads. I saw her in an ad in cosmo during my freshman year and nearly fell off the treadmill.

Thanksgiving break of that same year in one of our friends' parents' basement. Please note the boons farm. Sweet Jesus. Please excuse the fashion...it was 2004.

Mellie in Dior Couture Winter 2008.

In April 2008 Elle chillaxin with Oscar De La Renta.

Backstage at a Galliano show.

My personal favorite. She is an awesome girl, completely down to earth, comes back to Delaware kinda a lot...and not just to catch up....this girl rides horses. Supermodel shoveling horse-poop...that's a sight. We are so proud of her!! Check out Melody Woodin!!!

Real People

So its officially my last day of work at my little Firm in Delaware. This means two things; 1) I will be doing little/zero actual work as my basic purpose is to "tie up loose ends", 2) ample time for blogging/trolling others' blogs. So I decided to do a post on both real people I know (including myself) and a few other bloggers with awesome style.

Another "scary" sorority pic. Spring break 07. 4th in from the right.

My current facebook pic. I'm still on the fence as to if/when I'm going to give my real name. My alias/pseudonym is just so kick-ass anyway. Only my besties check out/know of my Blog, hence, there is no link to the blog on my fb profile. I guess I'm just one of those people that likes to keep my separate worlds separate. One of the greatest things is that I have all my college friends (more or less) completely separate from my high school, Dewey Beach, and Wilmington/current life peeps. That probably makes me sound like a total creeper, but I enjoy having different circles. Things get way more complicated (i.e. dramatic) when worlds collide.

A college (vt) bestie. Has all the physical makings of a playmate and "baller" style, as she calls it, tart-a-licious would be my description. She wears what she wants, when she wants, thus shattering all fashion "codes" applicable to "time and place". Usually, she is quite lolita-esque. Pic is from a summer wedding...she's in a "sundress".

Audrey at Frassy Fashion. Link on right of my blog. Amazing style. Student in England.

Karla of Karla's Closet. Link also on right. Student in LA. This pic was from a photo shoot she did for Quicksilver Women, which by the way also started a blog. I'm a little addicted to it....

oh, and fyi. \m/= hang ten in text format. One of my professional deadbeat friends texted it to me last night and I thought it was hilarious...er...gnarley.

A little bit of this....A little bit of that

Another mixed bag post....so much to share so little time. Who am I kidding? Basically playing at work (more so than usual) since I only have 2 days left! woot woot!

More waspy weekend pics to come. I wish I could remember what was being said in this photo to make me have THAT much of an exaggerated reaction...I blame it on the wine. MMM the seersucker couple. Yeah, that's ManCandy alright.

Dunzo.

Nice black on black. Do her boobs look bigger to you? Hmmm. Oh, and the vest has to go. Nice look otherwise.

Such a hot look. I love it when couples happen to have great style together...not in the "look we match!" way, but the subtle, not pre-contrived way. I highly doubt I will comment on the style of Joe Jonas or Camille Bell for a while (unless they are getting wayyy better at this by the moment! one can hope!!), but they look awesome here.

Samantha with hair. Haha. Charlotte Ronson fashion show. Great new line!!!

Perfect spring work outfit. I'm in love with that Dress. Would look great on MObama too!

My inspiration for current work attire. Another frosty 40 degree day in 19806. Stockholm street style. Do all Nordic people have great style?

Where I wish I was right now......

If my life was a reality show.....

I can't think a catchy name for my day-to-day if it were turned into a reality show....especially since the office is already taken. I guess would name it "The Shity"....good ol' Wilmington.

The Hills was especially awesome last night, by the way. She-Pratt is not only a moron, but bad at faking empathy. She looks good here though. I can't tell if her hair really makes that much of a difference or if she's had work done.

Sienna looking incredible as usual. Her casual style is so on-point!

Old Sienna pic when she did Nylon many moons ago. I friggin love those floral Doc Martens though!!!

Best thing in the Erin WassonxRVCA line by far. I want that dress sooooo bad. Juliane Hough looks perfect in it.

Whitney looking very Gossip Girl-esque. Guess she's still with Jay? Ugh, I could care less. I really like the plaid jacket though. Nice look Whit!

So Good.

Things making today more bear-able. I cannot imagine my life without the Internet sometimes.

Ex-sorority sis posted this over the weekend! Hilarious. My pledge class...circa January 2005. I don't know whether I should be nostalgic or scared.

OMFG. These are amazing. Sweet baby Jesus. Definitely my new obsession.

Oh, and My FAVORITE SCENE EVER.

Just another manic Monday, oooh oo woooahh, Wish it were Sunday.....

Sunday Funday Returns!!

So I officially had one of the best Sundays I've had in what feels like forever! It was the perfect Spring trifecta of sports, nice weather, and yum yum food. The Phightin Phils had their season opener...See Majestic Citizens Bank Park below....

Having a sunny, 65 degree day doesn't hurt either. My little Chill'ums had a Lacrosse clinic in the morning, then a tailgate for the University of Delaware Women's Lacrosse game. Capriotti's hoagies (i.e. the greatest sandwich concoction ever....a Bobbie!), bud light, and rice crispy treats created one of the best pregame menus ever... not to mention bonding time with the team "dads" haha. Then I went for a nice long run outside. Perfect Sunday.

Wore my Steve Madden knock-off version of these babies Saturday night. Big hit!

I am obsessed with VB's dress. I love that color pink!

I love that color pink except here. Anyone else think this looks like a table cloth? Gew.

Well, Sunday Funday means a serious case of the Mondays. Its pouring rain/Thunder storming as I'm typing, my body feels like its been through a car accident (not to mention my liver is all but given up), and my sweet sunburn/sunglass raccoon eyes made for a wonderful make-up experiment at 7:00am. All I want is to watch some "Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia", eat pistachio ice cream directly from the carton, and biofreeze my incredibly sore calf muscles. Sounds sexy, doesn't it?
