Does that make me crazy? Possibly.

I was a bit hesitant when Jessica at Style Obsession tagged me to show the contents of my bag. Mostly because this is what the inside of a bag should look like: simple and chic (Jessica, let me know if you want me to take down your picture.) And mine is NOT like that. I don't know how people live with such basic (yet glamorous) contents in their purse. Mine looks nice from the outside:but when the guts are poured out onto the dining room table... it's a different story:No, this is not a joke. No, I haven't added anything for comical value. This is really what I tote around on a day to day basis.
So here we go. The hidden story of my life as a purse hoarder.

1. kate spade shoes because sometimes you need a quick break from heels.2. Four mechanical pencils (I hate pens with a passion and only use them when absolutely necessary.)

3. Orbits gum

4. 14 packets of splenda and a starbucks stopper. (I don't know. I'm compulsive every time I walk by splenda. Yes, I know I'm getting cancer.)5. Beauty products: mirror, nail file, eyeliner, mascara, nail polish, cuticle clippers, lotion, lipstick, two burt's bees, two lip glosses (do I really need to defend these?)

6. Headband, 12 hair ties, four bobby pins (I don't know)

7. stamps, a post-it note with an address that I don't recognize, D&G wallet, a thank you note from a baby shower last month, my work ID badge, sunglasses, tape measure, a key to the office I don't work at anymore...
8. Electronics: flip video camera, cell phone, ipod touch, gps, (camera not shown)

9. Earphones, the USB cord for my camera, car/apartment/mail keys and assorted key chains
10. Cranberry pills, Ambien I snagged from my mom, tampons (TMI?), Tylenol, toothbrush, toothpaste, earplugs (for some reason I am completely paranoid that I am going to get stuck sleeping somewhere and not have toothbrush and earplugs. I'm insane.)

So there you go. I have no excuse. Also, to make things worse, this is the recently cleaned out version. I usually have a sleepmask, superglue, hand wipes, band aids, perfume...

Fun anecdote of the day: Yesterday I felt horrible! So sick with my cold. I decided what I really really wanted to make me feel better was a Shamrock Shake.

They only sell them in March at a "McDonalds near you." However, I found this McDonalds to be not so near to me. I tried 5 places! Drove to 5 McDonalds begging for a shamrock shake through my stuffed up nose. Nothing.

My next idea was to get a vanilla shake and add mint extract and green food coloring (I was super determined!) So I got the shake, got home and was greeted by an overexcited cat who ran between my legs and caused this:

And when I tried to pick up the cup and salvage the rest the bottom fell out and created an even bigger mess.

Final count-

shamrock shakes: 0

fake shamrock shakes: 0

sick shakeless girls having to mop the kitchen floor: 1

this is how short I am

I ordered a couple pairs of yoga leggings from Victoria's Secret last week because they are great to sit on the couch and watch tv and eat frosties work out in. I ordered this guy:and this guy:both in black. I got them in the mail today and I tried on the first pair thinking they were clearly the ankle version.Good stuff right? Until I tried on the other pair expecting the cropped version:So the first pair was actually the cropped version. And you can't really tell from the picture, but this is with me hiking them up! Yay for being 5'2 1/5"!

P.S. Dear boyfriend, if you are reading this I hate to break it to you but I may never take off these leggings again. They are freaking comfty. Hope you made reservations somewhere legging friendly for Valentines... xoxo

Moving day approaches!

This is me realizing I only have one night left to pack and there is SO MUCH LEFT! This is me looking at Weather.com and seeing it's supposed to rain all during my moving day:

This is me feeling like I shouldn't have let my boyfriend stay so late and have a Queen listening party last night because now I'm tired and don't want to pack:

This is my saying at least there is coffee:

Hope your weekend is better than mine!

outfit post: WTF

Most outfit posts are in celebration of cute clothes and fun combinations but I decided to devote this outfit post to wtf randomness.
We have all had those days where we wake up at 8:16 when we needed to leave at around 8. So this is what I pulled together on the fly while running out the door:The t-shirt I slept in last night, a stray cardigan and a pencil skirt. Weird porportions and clashing colors. Once I got to work and looked at myself I decided I had to document the awfulness that is my outfit. Yay for a navy t-shirt paired with a black skirt!

Three things I love Thursday: December 7, 2009

1. This Sarah Jessica Parker Gap commercial:
Hmm I guess I'm on a SJP kick this week. That being said, I need everything in this video. And I will have a dressing room identical to that someday. Please and thank you.
2. This bear hat I found over the weekend:I am very much regretting not buying it!
3. This Burberry trench made from sweatshirt material:
