I Miss You, Do You Miss Me?

I can't take it anymore! I miss you hoodrats! While I am still eating fake food in the sunshine state trying to radiate my skin but successfully failing, I have to come out of this blogcoma. Why? Because I feel my creative juices being hindered by the exhausting amount of estrogen in my presence. I'm not sure if you know this, fellow repellows, but I have three brothers. Count them, three. And a rare occasion it is that all four of us are under one single roof, co-existing like it's the '90s.

Ultimately, this should explain why oh why oh why and why I am fit for the role (the Man Repeller role, that is). One time when I was 17 my oldest brother told me he was ashamed that I was his sister because I was so fat compared to all his friends' sisters. So I ate apples for a year. That were covered in chocolate pudding! One time, my other brother told me I looked like a tuna fish cow. What is a tuna fish cow? I don't know. And finally, one more time, my other brother shrieked and took a double take as he told me I looked like a lowbrow linebacker (I was wearing a rad Rag & Bone blazer.) And so I started a blog. A blog, I tell ya! This one!

Now, I have nothing important to tell you but for those of you not following me on Instagram (I hold no predisposed prejudices against non iPhone users) or Tumblr, here are a few photos that tell about my trip.
Morning, Sunshine.
Goodnight, Moon.

Polka stripes go in for the win. (shorts: Shop Nasty Gal, jacket: Veda, shoes: Christian Louboutin.)
Pool side repeller, off duty. (Blouse: Anarchy Street, shorts: Dallin Chase) And for the record, I didn't land a date of any sorts.
I called this one, "If I Had a Twin." We'd match all the time and when standing in rooms bound by copious mirrors, there would be...so many of us. So many. Viagra nation! (blouse: Equipment, shorts: Tibi, shoes: Alex Wang.)

Also, my bees knees are burnt so stay tuned for a sweet Instagram manipulated photo of that too.

I love you. So long.

  1. Love your poolside outfit, adorrrable. Also, those views!!! Holy cow, why am I not there?! My brother used to punch me if he lost at a video game and I was sitting in punching distance. You're gorgeous.

  9. You need some sisters, girrrrl! My sisters and I have been making fun of fashion (which I adore but they could not care less about) for years. We just ignore our brothers! I love your blog! Special request: please make (more)fun of the pose I call "the Stumblebum"...that annoying toes-touching-with heels pointed-out" that ressembles something you'd see in photo of a small child holding a huge, spiral lollypop. Thank you! mmmwww!

  23. You arent fat at all, I know you probably know that and dont know how much of what you said above is like sarcastic or something but i'd love to have your lovely legs, theyre what makes a lot of your gorgeous clothes look extra nice on you. x

    ReplyDelete
  24. YES!!! I second all those who said they had been going through withdrawal. I didn't even realize I could get addicted to a blog until I stumbled onto yours. Now I spend my mornings looking alternately at myself in the mirror and at my wardrobe, thinking, "Hmmm... this outfit needs more weird."

  30. hahaha love your behind the story!! it totally makes sense now! your brothers sound like classic brothers :) And your style is just as interesting. I love these outfits! So great for the weather here~ I'm still tripping over the white outfit. Is it a sheer lace tank w/ a bandeau top + white shorts?? (the details on the shorts look fantastic). Love how all the little pieces come together. You make such cool & interesting combos & pull it off fabulouslyyyy xo Diana

  36. I've been wondering how you would dress Man Repeller style in Florida... It's definitely getting hot here already, which means lots of bare skin. Men like bare skin. And as the summer wears on it gets harder and harder to layer... Ugh I'm sweating just thinking about it.

  37. Love the blast from the past thoughts!

    And I love the last outfit!!

  45. Right, so I have three brothers, but they're younger than me so I was the one giving them eating disorders. MY SHITTY FRIENDS on the other hand have told me things like "you look like a baby cow" and "oh my, your hair feels just like a schnauzer's!" so I started a blog.

    ReplyDelete
  46. A TUNA-FISH COW-- NOT! I don't know what that is, but I'm adding it to my vocabulary.
    Anywhooo, really happy to see you miss us too.

    Whatevers, you look great and I'm going back to Ha'Aretz this summer and am looking for wedges like those grey lil' Wangs. Help. Bevakasha!

  66. bahahahahaha.

    1. are you really in college? your worldly wit belies your age.

    2. i have three brothers. they regularly ridicule my sartorial choices. sitting around at holidays, they'll say, "hey, remember that hair shirt? oh yeah, hideous. but what about the white daisy dukes onesie? she was like Nurse JLo..."

    except not.

    ah well, now it's my goal to get a reaction :)

    keep it up! you are brilliant.

    and i love the "I live." way better than dying.
