outfit junkie.

"dear girl in this picture, you will likely never be cuter than you are here.  enjoy the bejesus out it while it lasts."

"dear girl in this picture, see above."

 how to make every guy at the party wish he was going home with you and every girl at the party hate your guts: show up looking like this.

in my dream world, the one where i have gwyneth paltrow's life and i sing songs with my chris martin-esque husband, you can just email a store with a picture like this and say: "this in my size please", and, the next day, they deliver it to your house and everything fits perfectly.  just like magic.

is it just me or do grey sweatshirts never go out of style?

my to-do list for fall: record new songs, join gym, mix stripes & plaid, show tops of socks.

if i was a dress, i'd want to be this one.  i know i've said that before but, this time, i mean it.

the world's cutest tuque on the world's strangest mannequin head.

reminiscing about high school/germany:
