HALP for Halloween

I need halp. I need inspiration.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING UP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD BE!

Anyone else having this problem?

I want to be creative with the clothes and stuff I already have, but you can only get so creative with jeans and sweaters...

So I've thought of some options that may not be right for me, but maybe they'll inspire you, my lovely readers! And then, you can take your inspiration and use it to come up with a fabulous idea for me! See how this works? I iz so smart.

Options I've thought of:

1. Hermione: Grey cardi/sweater+White button up+Pleated mini skirt+ Grey knee-high socks+black ballet flats+two pencils taped together for a wand+Hogwarts crest printed out and taped/pinned to cardi+ Frizzy hair (one of the only downsides of this outfit-- maybe I could get away with movie-Hermione hair, AKA not as frizzy)

Why not? Too dorky for college? I just know I'll look out of place next to a bunch of girls dressed as strippers (OK, maybe they're not dressed as them, but they look like them!)

2. '20s Girl: '20s style dress (which I just happen to have, $5, never worn, from F21)+Pearls+Red lipstick+Black tights+Black heels+up do

Why not? I WILL FREEZE TO DEATH BECAUSE IT IS A SPAGHETTI STRAP DRESS. I have the perfect jacket to go with it, but it's at home and 5 sizes too big...

3. Black Cat (Cat Woman?): Black leggings (or Black tights+black shorts)+Black shirt+Kitty ears

Why not? YAWN.

4. Blair Waldorf, Season 1: White button up+Navy skirt+navy knee-highs+ballet flats+Headband

Why not? Not sure if people would get it, especially since it's from season one (the Constance uniform)

Did you know...

(you probably didn't, because it's useless, but I'll tell you anyway)..

... that SNL's intro announces the cast in alphabetical order?

Yep. By last name. Just realized it.

So there's your new bit of knowledge for today. You can stop looking for something new to learn now. Your quota has been filled. Your welcome.

Another background tidbit

So I'm watching the west coast version of the 30 Rock live episode... they are nailing it! But I noticed this background tidbit I had to share with you guys, mostly because I don't know why it's there...

In this scene, when Jack is sniffing paint:

See something on a paint can near the center of the screen? Let's zoom in...

Why is "Glee" written on a paint can? Any theories? It's not like its Glee's paint, because they're on different networks. At first I thought it was a jab at Glee because the label underneath said "Gross paints," but it definitely says "Gloss."

Any theories?

Just FYI

Ah, the powers of hulu. While I was watching this week's Community for the second time (yes, it was that good), I decided to freeze frame on Alan's email:

A little closer, shall we?

Jeff's middle name is Tobias. So there's a random little tidbit of knowledge for you. You learn something new (and useless) every day!

(I apologize for the crappy pictures. They're screencaps from hulu, and I couldn't get that stupid play button to go away)

Don't you hate it when...

Don't you hate it when you're having an amazing hair day, but you have nowhere to go and show it off? That's my predicament right now. I even have a pretty cute outfit going on. Why can't my looking good days ever coincide with my seeing lots of boys days? This lady looks like she shares my woes:

Sigh. Oh, how difficult my life is sometimes.

Why I'm happy today

Actually, why I've been happy every day for the past week or so...

Something very pretty (and very discounted) came in the mail...

So yea, life is good :)

AWESOME

Combining two of my favorite things: IKEA and cats.

Seriously.

Have a look:

And here's the final product:

WIN!

Love Letter

Dear Victorian Lace Dress,

How are you? You look stunning today. Look, I know we only met a few minutes ago, but I just have to tell you something important. I know this might be hard for you to hear, but...

I love you.

There! It's out! I love you, I love you, I love you! I'm sorry, I just couldn't hold it in any longer. Ever since I first laid eyes on your scalloped lace form, I've known I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Besides, I feel like I've been waiting for you for forever.

I can't offer you much. I have a modest-sized closet that I would love for you to call "home." I even have a wooden hanger reserved just for you! But what I lack in grandeur I will make up in love. I will wear you weekly, and always pair you with my most refined heels-- no polyester will touch your supple, intricate lace! I will dress you down for school with tights, a belt, and a blazer, and up for night with some dazzling earrings. I will do whatever it takes to make this relationship work.

What I'm trying to say is... move in with me. I know this relationship is moving so fast-- I mean, I haven't even tried you on yet!-- but I just know that this is true love.

Just think about it, ok? I'll be waiting.

Love,

RN

Yet Again

I'm going to start this post the way I have started many a post in the past.

(No, not by explaining how I'm going to start the post)

By saying I'm sorry! I've been so busy getting ready to leave for college that my little blog has been malnourished. But, in an effort to shake the "dead-beat blog parent" title, I'm back! With an adorable and funny picture of a keety:

All better, right?

PS- I try to coax my readers to forgive me with cute kitty picture a lot, don't I?

A Little Fashion Math

I've been searching far and wide (ok, from Kate Spade outlet to DSW...) for a pair of simple knee-high or over-the-knee socks. I just imagine them peeking out over the top of some riding boots, over tights, with an adorable dress to top it off. And maybe a scarf, just for fun. A chic-meets-schoolgirl-sexy look. Speaking of school, let me give you this little equation to help you out:

Got it? Now if only I could find the perfect knee socks...

What's your take on the knee-highs trend?
