On Moving, Fake Summer, and Blogging Neighbors
by Becca on August 25, 2011
The good part about taking a month long blog break is that I have lots to say. While I’ve been away, I’ve moved into a new apartment. In fact, it’s my very first big girl apartment. I live all by myself and it’s wonderful! That’s a nicer way of saying – “holy shit my apartment is small.” Like, can touch my bed from my couch small. But it’s all mine. So I’ve been hard at work furnishing things, cursing IKEA and their awful directions and enjoying the fact that I live 2 flights of stairs from Lauren. Speaking of Lauren, I made her start a fashion blog. Since we live 10 feet away from each other and I have a photographer at the ready, I really have no excuse for not having pictures on a regular basis. Sorry I’m not sorry.

So after living here for nearly a month and not taking advantage of my in house photographer. We made plans for an all you can drink mimosa brunch date followed by outfit photos. I realize that pictures should have probably come before 5 mimosas, but you live, you learn. Some of you might be thinking, “it’s summer – what gives with the leather jacket” now others of you may be thinking “wow, how can she read my mind?” IT’S MAGIC. But shhh – back to me dressing like it’s winter. San Francisco’s idea of summer has not lived up to my expectations. I’ve consistently worn jackets and tights throughout the summer while everyone else has been at the beach. I thought I moved to California, not Maine… I’m still looking for Mother Nature’s address, I have a letter of complaint for that bitch!

That’s so funny, I live in Maine and was just recently visiting San Francisco and was shocked at how cold it was. I was freezing the whole time – Maine is tropical in comparison! I suppose the same can’t be said for winter

These photos are gorgeous, Becca!
And I’ve said it a million times, but that jacket is amazing. I love the combination of the delicate draping paired with tough leather!

These photos are fabulous! What a great roomie perk
I LOVE that jackets are always a necessity in CA. (Did I tell you I just moved to LA???!) They make getting dressed so easy! xx
