tOp hAt?!?!



I wore a hat for the first time EVER as part of my outfit... not just as a way to cover up my hair on the way to the salon...

This hat sort of belongs to a boy...
...hehe...
(Definitely a great way to experiment before plopping down $150 and deciding with my next hairstyle that I detest the very sight of hats...)
I couldn't tell you why I did... but I sort of liked the look...
... though I should probably mention my best friend really doesn't like it... I think she might genuinely be worried about me... what with me listening to rock music, wearing black nail polish occasionally, and now wearing fedoras like top hats... lol

I wore it out to Chris's bday thingie downtown... who by the way is a really amazing photographer... check out his blog: http://epiphany2005.blogspot.com/

With Mandee: One of my favorite people on the planet


Posing with the bday boy:


Isn't he just perfect? I love his skin:


With My Gorgeous Jolene... who has a way better butt than I could ever hope to... he is also one of my favorite friends:


White Shirt: Old Navy, Shorts: Club Monaco, Bag: Miss Sixty, Wedges: Nine West(own them in brown), Ring: Top shop(Got it in Dublin and absolutely LOVE IT... its sooo in-your-face), Bangles: Elephant tusk(from Ghana)

NB: So I tried red lipstick for the first time today... well cos I was initially supposed to go to a Chris Bosh party tonight... but decided against well... cos a really close friend of mine is getting married tomorrow... and asides from going for that... and the reception... she wants me to come out to her hotel in the morning and help her get dressed... so I need my beauty sleep...

Exhibit A:


Hopefully this shade isn't too bright... pardon my messy, frizzy hair... (its-due-to-not-announced-on-the-weather-channel-today) rain!!!

    I love fedoras. That looks very cute on you. The lipstick is a nice color for your skin tone.

    Have a great weekend, my dear.

    Like the hat! My boys (21 & 17) never leave the house without theirs. All the girls here in The OC wear them too...even to the beach with their bathing suits!

    Very brave to try the red lipstick...looks good on you though. I always thought about it when I was younger, put it on and then immediately wiped it off. I've always had really big lips and back in the day, they weren't popular!LOL!
