Giveaway Winner and Freaky Friday!

Friday, August 10, 2012

OK, first thing's first: Julia Stockton my dear! Check your email because you're our winner. I'll just need your info to get the gift card off to you. YAY!

If you didn't win, don't despair. Another giveaway for something similar is coming up next week. Probably Tuesday. Keep your eyes peeled!

With that being said, on to the freakiness. I've got a packed day ahead of me and tomorrow I'm going ziplining! WOO!


OK, you know I'm not a legging fan on the best of days, but when they show the inner thigh, which could be the most squirm-induing part of the human body... ew.

Plus, the lace/leather combo reminded me of this:

Has anyone else been watching Bachelor Pad? Jamie from Ben's season might be the most awkward creature alive and she insists on wearing fingerless leather gloves. I said "Oh honey no" so many times the other night that my husband was like "OMG Jae shutup."

Not that he watches Bachelor Pad with me or anything....



My dear friend Lola sent these to me. If it weren't for the terrifying skull on top, I would have thought these were Harry Potter's drag queen patronus.

Geek jokes!


I also got this from Lexi, who sent me a whole score of ugly shoes to look through. But putting my foot into a Mrs. Potts lookalike would really take the cake. Plus it looks like it would burn.


I also really liked these, which reminded me of Hercules for some reason. Like, a cool, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air version of Hercules.


Brooke sent me what could be the weirdest pants ever made. My favorite were the comments, which proclaimed these as "dainty."






Ugh this dress hurts my eyes. It's like bad tourist shirts in Hawaii but for $400 and worn with orthopedic sandals.

Also, is it me, or do all models have spaghetti toes?



Oh, THAT'S what I forgot with my pants. Shorts!

Now those are some seriously modest Bermudas.


And this a seriously immodest dress. Wanna add like 16 inches and a chastity belt to that hem?


Megan sent me this onesie, which I thought was appropriate for the Olympics. I think this should be the uniform next time. Those Ralph Lauren outfits were lame.

Also, I get so conflicted during the Olympics because I live here but I'm not American. On the other hand, Canada isn't exactly a dominator at the summer Olympics.

Also all this patriotism reminds me that I just bought this David & Young scarf from Nordstrom the other day. I hummed and hawed over it for like three days. I was like "But I'm not American!"

Finally I used my husband's credit card and ponied up because I think it's just the right amount of kitsch. I cannot wait to show you it in an outfit!

Anyway, I'm checking out for the weekend. Thanks for the awesome giveaway turnout! You guys are my heroes.

Those "dainty" pants are meant for those women on TLC's "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant". They just catch the baby before they hit the kitchen floor, and keep 'em all warm and cradled until the paramedics show up.

I'm a Brit living in the U.S. so I feel your conflict...although the U.k. are doing pretty well so I just flip flop between the two...I'm flexible like that.
I'm pretty sure the "modest bermudas" are really skanks in disguise and you're supposed to whip the bottom half off in a chippendales kind of way...

Hermes was the god with winged shoes, Hercules was a demigod.. Son of Zeus. I read Percy Jackson to my daughter so I've acquired a lot of ancient Greek knowledge :)
Love the teapot shoes!!! Hilarious!

The last two days I've found it brag worthy that I haven't eaten cake for breakfast. Our even all day! I am about to blame you for breaking that record. You totally used the word "cake"in there somewhere, and now I can't get it out of my head! you know how they claim that major cravings really indicate nutritional deficiencies? I should probably figure out what the heck my body is so desperate for that I keep obsessing over chocolate cake. No frosting, nothing fancy, just plain cake. Drool.

A friend of mine posted those antler/skull/Potter drag queen shoes on her FB page yesterday. She loved them. Seriously. No, I don't know WTF is wrong with her.

Those Norwegian OnePieces are apparently very popular in Scandinavia... last summer, my Swedish friend who was visiting couldn't tell me enough about how she and her friends wear them all the time, as soon as they get home from work, and even go out on the town in them. They come in all sorts of colors and patterns. AND, they are SUPER expensive. I... there are no words...
