The Things I Wear: BFB Launch in Le BF’s Shirt
also titled “I’m like… the superhero for men’s shirts”
So, Mal and I stopped by the BFB Launch party at Milk Studios a couple of weeks ago… I know, I know, 2 weeks later? What? I’ve been busy. Cut a girl some slack on her personal blogging, yo. There will probably be more ‘week late’ party outfits coming your way.
At any rate, my sentiments on this outfit and the sort of anecdote about how the BF hates plaid button up shirts is the same even if it is 2 weeks later. [Again, I know… WHAT?? I’m dating a guy who hates wearing plaid button up shirts… idk, i just dk. Don’t give me that look. Sometimes, it’s just about the guy behind the (not plaid button-up) shirt. Does that statement make me less shallow, btw?]
I took this one off his hands (tags still attached after a year of owning), and decided to wear it out. By taking it off his hands, I mean he literally handed it to me saying he was never going to wear it. I can’t let a perfectly good men’s shirt just go to waste, hidden in a drawer where it’ll never see the light of day! I have plans for you shirt! Don’t worry.
In my version of the urban cowboy look- tied at the waist, with grey denim, a moto jacket, and moto boots-I was ready to dance the night away, and match le biz partner at a super fun fashion/media party. Thanks to me the shirt got to stand two feet away from Russel Simmons. I’m sure that never in its wildest dreams did it think that would ever happen… ever, let alone on its first public outing. Also, thanks to Lindsey Green & BFB for the invite.
Serving & protecting men’s shirts forever.

This is what I look like when I have projections on my face. Particularly projections of London city-scapes.

NylonMag, Party Monster: sebastian professional x stylecaster
We had a great time at StyleCaster and Nylon’s Sebastian Professional event at The Darby, last week!
Thanks so much to Susie @ StyleCaster fo the invite (and the awesome DJ tunes), and photographer Elann, for snapping our pic… without which we might never have been included in this Nylon post. (subtle #cluelessreference)
This also happened last week. #smallgirl #partygirl
Antarctic Headgear… it’s so in right now.
Animal hoods are so last season… animals ON your HAT is the next big thing. You heard it here first… (or 2nd since Mallory already posted about it today).
Penguin Hats are the coolest, and I’m completely obsessed with their website…
Why should you own a penguin hat? Oh, they cover that one for you:
Why do I need Penguin Hats?
Penguin Hats have several unique and useful features that distinguish them from other hats:
- Penguin
- Companionship
- Splendor
Penguin Hats are also very warm and comfortable and are guaranteed to inspire a feeling of coziness wherever they are worn. If you live in an Antarctic climate or other area where penguins may be present then you may attract hundreds if not thousands of penguins. It is not recommended to wear Penguin Hats in the presence of sea lions or other Antarctic predators. Penguin Hats assumes no legal responsibility for any injuries or mishaps due to wearing Penguin Hats around said predators.
Penguin fact: Some penguins are filled entirely with candy. You just have to look hard enough.
So magical. So into it.
The Things I Wear/Fall Fashions: RIP Greg Barris’s Grey Pants
RIP my friend Greg’s pants… literally, with a RIP. :(
At any rate, this is us looking fall fashions monochromatic and stuff outside of Westville East as I was walking out of brunch and he was walking in for brunch… on one of those obscenely warm Fall days.

Calendar Girl- My Made Shop 2012 Linear Calendar came! Yay!
Decided to go with the silver and white instead of the magenta and yellow because I realized it fit the aesthetic I’m trying to create for my room a bit better.
The Things I Wear: Bringing ‘My Boyfriend’s Wardrobe’ back… also titled My Nouveau Beau’s Wardrobe
Ok, so I’ve been wearing men’s clothing for a while… namely Jacob’s which started the “My Boyfriend’s Wardrobe” posts on my blog. That was actually a misnomer because I also posted outfits wearing men’s clothing that I borrowed from guy friends, my brothers, and/or I bought for myself.
However, this is a special bf wardrobe post to begin new bf wardrobe posts, because there is a new bf whose wardrobe this outfit came from… ‘my new bf’s wardrobe?’… nouveau beau seemed more approps. Apparently people still use the term beau in a tongue in cheek way in FL, or something like that. Plus it rhymes. We like rhyming.
Anyway, I digress. Back to the outfit. There have been a few instances in which I’ve worn a men’s shirt as a dress in different ways. This is a new one for me though, re-discovered in a youtube tutorial that I will post in a sec. Button the shirt askew, and use the sleeves to create a halter… belt that shit up, and you’ve got this really interesting top, to wear with jeans, a skirt, or in this case my favorite American Apparel figure skater dress.
I’m so into it.
On a random note, Mallory got an iphone so there’s no need for me to try to creatively take photobooth pics as outfit pics since she can take my outfit pics, but I really like using photobooth so I figured, why stop?
The Things I Wear: “Fuck the Fuckers” also titled “I’m Batman”… or I guess in short “Fuck You I’m Batman”
In “great gifts given to me by great friends”, Leigh surprised me at the Sake Bar last night with this amazing shirt. As we all know, I’m pretty into wearing shirts in which my distaste for everyone and anything around me is conveyed… which is why I love this so much. That, coupled with the reminder that I am a super hero and a batman pez dispenser (which I collect… +candy), basically makes this the best present ever.
Also- lookin a little 90s grunge with the hair situation and the flannel.

Stop doing that.
Channeling our spirit animals. Merry X-mas!

Small Girls in the Nude-y Peach
If you look at our photos or know us IRL, you’ll often notice that we wear the same general color scheme- what we like to call “black and nudey peach”. So you can imagine our excitement over Refinery29’s Trend Watch: Blush Tones feature yesterday (i.e. nudey peach)!!
Here are a few of our favorite nudey peach looks that we’ve donned at photo shoots and events, paired with Refinery29’s blush tone picks.
This only proves further that 2012 will be Small Girls’ Big Year.
