A Closet Confession

Re: this title, this isn't a closet confession that alleviates the pang of hiding homosexuality. Unfortunately, while I salute and admire Jenna Lyons, I'm not really pulling a JL. Though I bet if I were, it'd make boatloads of sense for the sake of this blog. But this is more about an actual closet, one that houses clothes, an ego, things of that sort. If you've watched the above, I hope you chuckled amid rolling at your eyes at my stupid anecdotes about France. If you haven't but still intend to, just know this: I don't pay retail. That aside, I know what you're wondering and I did in fact vomit inside that antiquated clutch. It was while I was abroad in Paris during my semester of awesome. I spent a handful of those six months fairly intoxicated but on one of them, I went a little, you know, overboard. Sue me, it was for the sake of a birthday. Yes sure, the birthday of a girl I didn't know...but a birthday nonetheless. Wine is like three euro a bottle in France and I had nine euro in my pocket so that makes three bottles of wine which in turn makes those bottles in my belly and then, well, what do you know, in my purse. Purse because as aforementioned, I was in a cab, in a tunnel and I had a choice: vomit in the car, get kicked out, never get home, maybe die. Or, remove the contents from said purse, vomit in it. I guess when push comes to shove, I choose life over fashion.

I never said that.

  22. I LOVE THIS! It made me love you even more. I watch you and read what you write and see how much you love fashion. I take in the fact that we're the same age and I have this idea in my head that we could totally be friends. Your sense of humor is delightful. xo

  38. I also once vomited in a purse under similar circumstances, except I was in Columbia, South Carolina, not France, and I didn't have the foresight to remove the contents of my purse first. And then when I took it to the dry cleaners, I handed it over and explained I "spilled something" in my bag. Got it back the next week just like new!

    ReplyDelete
  39. i love your posts and specially videos
    keep on making those, how cute are you??

  55. Hey Leandra,
    I was just checking my Bloglovin'-list and suddenly realised that it had been a while since I'd seen anything from your hand. So I looked in here and saw that you're obviously still posting - which must mean, that something's off with your blog and Bloglovin'. Are you aware of that?
    And while I'm at it (this is my first time commenting here), I'd like to let you know how much I adore your personality and sense of style! Keep it up :) I'm looking forward to getting your posts in my Bloglovin' feed again (long live the lazy!)

    Would be great if you gave us tips on how to do man repeller outfits on a budget...sad, but true, no all of us can have a Hermes clutch or a Chanel designed shirt in our closets.

  101. How you make funny poses in your pics makes you even more attractive! Perhaps it's because you seem genuine.

    I couldn't help comparing other famous bloggers with you... You seem more confident and mature by not being afraid to look "man-repelling", or I should say not always girly or demure.

    The video shows your sense of humor and playfulness very well indeed!

  102. YOU ARE THE COOLEST THE CUTEST GIRL
