So today I saw and pet the cutest pit bull puppy. Her name was Zoe and she hopped all over me when a fellow resident at my apartment exited the elevator with her pup, who was apparently excited to see me! I want to bite her, she was so cute–a habit I must have picked from my grandmother. She used to always bite the grandchildren’s cheeks because she found us so adorable. She continued to do this for years even though she’d bite me and I’d cry. Now I always want to bite cute things as well. Strange, I know.
My Grandma Long was amazing. She was a thief. You couldn’t bring her into a Sears department store without her walking out with items stuffed under her arm or in a bag that magically appeared from thin air. Once she suffered a stroke she couldn’t work anymore and she found so much joy in giving during Christmas, that she couldn’t stop giving even when she couldn’t afford to. Every year from then on we’d open gifts knowing damn well Grandma stole them. She was quite the character.
This is my clearance Urban Outfitters outfit. I got the sweater for like $5, the shorts half off last summer because the zipper is broken and the boots for $20.
[sweater by silence+noise, jean shorts by bdg, boots by deena & ozzy, socks from target, bag by marc jacobs, leather jacket by gap]
ha.
hehehe Tiek eating a taco during the Academy Awards viewing party sponsored by Dove. Tieka hosted this at her cute apartment and so six girls got together, pigged out on tacos and cookies and made fun of the reporters on the red carpet. Check Tieka’s blog, Selective Potential for more details on the party and photos of the girls that I took!

Wow your grandma is something else! And if she got caught, all she'd have to say is, "oh my memory is slipping I guess". Who would suspect a sweet old grandma, right? hehehe.
Clare says
Haha, I love that story about your grandma! She sounds like such a character. And I love the darkwash jean shorts! Seems like most of them are lighter wash, and I love the bold way these look with tights!
Meghan V. says
Love your bag! That party looked like so much fun.
Dana says
People make fun of me so bad when I say that something is so cute, I want to swallow it whole! Puppies! Babies! I wanna eat 'em all!
Good to know I'm not alone ๐
Freaks unite!

UO sale is the best but you have to fight hard with other hungry shoppers for the items or else you'd end up with broken articles ๐ anw, i really love that sweater and the fact that it's Silence&Noise(fav UO brand!!) makes me love it even more. Also love how you layer the stockings with socks ๐
ps: tieka looks evil! hahaha ๐
