Here's a little photo diary of what I thought was going to be a bad night. I was invited to a party a few weekends ago, but when I got there, they wouldn't let me in! I think the girl at the door just really didn't like the way I was dressed (cause it was too cool. RITE GUYS????)

So I made a party of my own, headed over to Wicker Park for the opening of Emporium (a barcade = bar + arcade), ate tacos at Big Star, and enjoyed some crazy wickedly flavored donuts from a Glazed & Infused pop up. Overall a pitch perfect nite. I stayed up late enough to howl at the moon, isn't that what being young is all about?

Lesson learned, no more lame parties....Life isn't worth being sad that the cool kids won't let you hang out, be your own brat pack and get out there!

open 24 hrs

(what I'm wearing: forest green turtle neck dress: american apparel, shoes: vintage)
song: glass candy : candy castles

dave and I did this spontaneous photo session during an impromptu donut run (i've been having those recently...I mean...PUMPKIN DONUT...) I love how these pictures turned out I wish we took more but I was nervous of getting yelled at by donut people. These pics came out very sleepy hallow and PERFECT for this upcoming weekend! (It also kind of reminds me of the movie Drive) I feel uber sultry in my american apparel dress. I mean it fits like a glove but I'm all covered up! I love be unconventionally sexy, but let's be honest I just love being unconventional. Plus it's hard not to feel "like a woman" when wearing american apparel, there clothes fit so well, and I love how their ads always feature women of color, and it doesn't seem novel!

So I want to leave you all this as we wait to get wild this weekend and pretend to be something were not or what we wish to be! Are you doing anything for the season? I'm just going to go people watching. What's your costume, mine will be a surprise ;)
