sunday, grocery day

the weather gods smiled upon us in the northeast last weekend, i was able to run around in short shorts without a heavy winter coat :-)

i keep reminding myself that sunday is the absolute worst day to go grocery shopping and vow to go earlier in the weekend, but life usually gets in the way and i find myself stuck in trader joe's fighting people traffic with my cart and glaring at whoever grabbed the last of the organic kiwis...

this outfit was just a casual sunday outfit, but i feel like it was more fashion-blogosphere-inspired than usual. the "fashion blogger look" on my bloglovin'/chictopia/lookbook updates is getting a bit too predictable and homogeneous these days so if anyone has any recommendations for new blogs for me to check out, please share. preferably more forward-looking than retro/vintage inspired, not overly trendy, and please, NO POSTS ABOUT CLOGS!!! i don't care if they're chanel. lol. thanks.

  3. ^^ yes, great idea! it will be rainy this weekend, perfect for magazine browsing and movie watching. and yes, the scarf was purchased in nyc... so much for "just ogling" at the mcqueen boutique, hehe.

    ^ anon, i recognize the site name, i will definitely check out those lookbooks. thanks for the suggestion!

  4. You might already know about dropsnap (http://www.dropsnap.jp/pc/snap.php), but I find the Japanese a little bit different than the rest of the blogging world.

  7. You look lovely! I've been looking for that belt on ebay for a while but I never find the right one. Ok, ok, I'm too cheap! I always get outbid! Anyway, the scarf looks great! I like the totokaelo blog. And I also love some of the looks on this blog:http://vanessajackman.blogspot.com/2010/02/running-with-fash-packlondon-fashion_6995.html

    Ps: I love your look, Scarf is excellent too, still can't choose LV or MQ though! Both great.

  15. Your comment about no clogs made me laugh out loud. So true, just because they are chanel doesn't mean they need to be bought.

    a few sites I read daily to try:

    good luck!
