Usually donuts and some fun mixed prints cheer me up. Not today friends, not today. I’m included this terrible photo of myself to capture the desolation.

Ootd: Whoooo’s wearing age-inappropriate owl socks?
Ugh. Those three-day weekends. To help perk up, wearing sweet owl socks. I have to go to the effing jail so wearing a flesh obscuring sweater. Take that Tuesday! Socks, Kate Spade; heels, Michael Kors; dress, vintage; sweater, J. Crew.
Ootd: I just can’t
The worst part of Adult is that you have to like, do shit. All the time. Even when you feel like dog balls and it’s raining. Luckily office friend has a Sherlock Holmes couch for self pity flopping. Wearing a cheerful skirt but it’s not working. Even a tweed/ floral combo can’t help me now….
OOTD: Bad news with swans
What does a girl wear on a semi-cas trip to the jail to see clients? Swans. You can’t get too depressed with swans. The pink shoes add a little cheer although not sure how advisable open toe is in a penal setting. Heheh. Penal. Skirt, Ellie Tahari. Sweater, J.Crew. Shoes, Cole Haan. Bag, Kate Spade. Silk…
OOTD: Mixed prints and shoes of doom
On days when I have to go do some yelling in court, I like to suit up and wear a shoe built for stabbing in eyeballs / looming over my opponents. But, like, in a fun way, right? Mixing prints is not as hard as you think. A little clashing is okay but make it…
Chaos and the art of not tidying up
Once you don’t have an adult to tell you to clean your room, what happens? Well, if you’re a hot mess, your closet turns into a knee-deep pile of sadness. I give you, Exhibit A: I’m well aware that I need to stop being a slob. “Spend five minutes every night hanging things back up.”…
Tipsy cooking: the frosting of things
There is no kitchen skill more valuable than knowing how to make frosting. People can forgive a burnt casserole but shitty frosting is the worst. The plastic tub of frosting from the store is chemical soup. Make cake from a mix, sure, but a good frosting covers a multitude of sins. If you have a…
Dress like you mean it-Know your size for online shopping
Oh, internet, sweet internet. Is there anything more satisfying than shopping online when you have no money and are supposed to be working? If you are not a fan of shopping (wierdo) you can still build a functional adulty wardrobe without having to deal with annoying mall people. You have to do some leg work first,…
Tipsy Cooking: Mexican Lasagna
Also known in my house as “Mexican pile” but lasagna sounds a lot more appetizing. Seriously, anyone can make this. There’s barely a recipe, just throw shit in a pan and pretend it was complicated when friends ask you about it. 1.Heat oven to 350 2.Get a glass or ceramic pan that’s about 9 x11….
Tipsy Cooking
At some point, you will have people over for dinner or be asked to bring something other than a six-pack to a party. Don’t freak out. You got this. I love to cook and over the years have become pretty awesome at it. But, most days, you don’t want to make something that requires trips…
I guess we’re grownups now.
In my mind, I am 19 years old. Forever. Smart, beautiful, effortlessly thin. Decisions are limited to: what should I wear (answer: tube top)? Should I make out with that bartender (answer: no but you will)? Will a degree in Medieval History open a ton of doors (answer: hysterical laughter)? Photographs from college preserve 19…
