Look at my book
Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 11:59PM Today... today was a busy day. I started it off right when I met baby Coco, the brand spankin' new baby girl of Reachel of Cardigan Empire and her husband Andrew.
I should start with a little story. A story about this crazy shopping experience I had last night- at the Scottsdale Fashion Square. It's probably my favorite mall EVAR. Anyway, I spent like 4 gazillion hours in each of my favorite stores and spent a healthy chunk of cash. I tried on about a zillion things (which is highly unusual for me- I usually try on at home). I plotted and counted and pondered each thing I wanted to purchase. I left a happy customer, since I felt like I finally had a shopping experience in which I didn't need to hurry, and as a result found pieces for my wardrobe that reflected my actual style.
But.
This morning I returned 80% of it.
Lame!
The thing is, and I realized this while talking to Reachel, who has the.best.style.ever, that I don't even know what my style is. I like a LOT of looks, styles, etc. but in the end, I'm only faithful to one thing:
Comfort.
I like my sneakers and flats and such. I like my baggy tees and skinny jeans.
I like my hair kind of wild and my nails un-manicured.
Reachel asked me what my style is. I said, "modern hippie." Perhaps I should have just left the modern part out- I think I'm too slackerish to be modern.
She said she'd make me a lookbook. Now, I have no idea what that means but I'm really looking forward to it. Anything, ANYTHING touched by Reachel is an instant work of art. A piece of beauty.
Do you need a look book too?
Here's tiny (and I do mean tiny) Coco. Congrats, Reachel and Andrew.

Oh and I think you have rockin' style... I would say its more bohemian than hippie, and definitely modern. I heart your style in so many ways. I want to be just like you when I grow up.
What ever your style is I love it! I want you to take all my family photos from now on!!!! and Hopefully of a new baby...in a couple of years!
She is so pretty. I love the pic when both of her big, beautiful eyes are open.
I am jealous of the kid-free shopping, too. I know that mall (thanks to you), and how blissful it can be without kids. I will never forget how I got to wander around it for hours alone in February - I am glad I seized my chance when I had it!
I feel the same way about my clothes. I have a look book for my house, why not for my closet? Why? I'll tell you why. Everything I like is sleeveless.
Love,
Mind
and i totally need a look book.
And I know what you mean about not knowing what your style is. I'm a big fan of comfort, myself, but will sacrifice that for a *really* cute pair of heels (sometimes). Comfort and color are my favorite things to look for in clothes!
