I don’t know what it is about me and leggings. I loved them from 3rd grade all the way to 9th grade (“Ummmm, have you ever thought about buying a pair of jeans?” – girl to me in 7th grade). But now, if I wear them, I feel like I’m in sweatpants and look super bad. Like it would be barely ok to go to the grocery store in them, but not like, out with my girlfriends or whatever. Anyway, I am still trying to ditch my cold, and I had to do laundry. Since I did not want to do laundry, I put on the leggings!

Here’s my Sick Girl Secret: underneath, I’m wearing the tshirt I’ve slept in for the past 3 nights because I didn’t feel like changing out of it today. You’re welcome!

There is a ROSS right next to my post office, and I always sort of ignore it. I have nothing against Ross. I grew up shopping at Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, all that stuff. I just always feel like Ross has such LONG LINES!

Anyway, a few weeks ago, I went in on a whim to see if I could find props for some photos I had to take.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH ROSS ALL OVER AGAIN. You can get so much great stuff for like 5 bucks. Like this five dollar vinyl table cloth that looks like lace. I BOUGHT TWO. SOLD! My mom said to go back in and buy more!!! (Haven’t done that yet…)

Yep, that’s plastic.

That little pie/cake jug is also from Ross and also five dollars (I think?). The pear was made by my friend Marissa, and the little ceramic lemon is from Williams Sonoma and is supposed to smell like lemons, but it really doesn’t so much. I crocheted the roses for the photoshoot as well and plan to make more to fill that vase!

I don’t know why I am so damn amazed by this vinyl lace stuff, but I just had to share, so you guys can go and run and get your own vinyl lace table cloths! They come in round and rectangular!

Of course, the dining table never stays clear for more than a day. Now it has crap all over it. Such is real life!

(p.s. sorry the table cloth is wrinkly. Not quite sure yet how to iron VINYL.)

Sometimes I forget to blog about Bibi. I figure you guys get sick of seeing pictures of her sleeping all the time (haha!) but she’s actually quite active and therefore hard to get a good picture of most times.

Here are a few Bibi photos from my Instagram, as well as a short video of the two of us sharing one of her favorite treats: a banana. I can’t peel a banana or a hard-boiled egg without her running over, expecting a bite. We don’t normally feed our dogs people-food, but there are a few treats that Bibi knows I will for sure share!

Howdy!

Just wanted to let you guys know that I FINALLY uploaded all the leftovers from RenegadeSF to my Etsy shop, so check it out! Lots of stuff is discounted, and you’ll even see some new stuff! The sale runs for a week and ends on Thursday, August 16th at midnight!

Sorry I didn’t make a fun collage for this sale. I am battling getting a cold! I had a scratchy throat and achey muscles all day, and I think my sneezes are starting to bloom. Off to bed I go!

Yup, it’s my birthday today! I am 36. Holy cucamonga.

I had a really fun slumber party with Manda & Renee (who was visiting from Miami and whom I lived with like 10 years ago) and we ate 20 pounds of pizza and had every dessert known to man.

I didn’t think I would actually do anything today for my bday, but Manda said we should, so we are going to dinner!

I normally wouldn’t have dressed in any kind of birthday fashion, but I also had to FINALLY shoot photos of leftover Renegade stock to post on Etsy, so I figured I would clean up a little bit and get that done!

So tonight, after dinner, I will edit those photos and update the shop! YAY! Presents for everybody! 😀

Dress & Star Tights: I’m Your Present, Belt: from eBay, Shoes: NastyGal x Jeffrey Campbell, Hair Balloons: cupcake toppers from Etsy
