The hippest girl in all of Wisconsin

Hey doods! Sorry I have been gone for so long, but well I have 16 days off work and I am doing exactly that - not working. Not doing my huge to-do list. None of it is urgent, so whatever. I'll get to it! I went home to Wisconsin for six days, which was relaxing. Saw a few old friends, hung out with the fam, and Cash (my brother's Bull-Mastiff which looks super scary but is just a big nerd:

One of my favorite things in Wisco, is that the next town over USED to have the Circus Museum... now they do not. But there are still elephant, clown, and giraffe statues all over and all the drinking fountains look like lion heads, and you have to put your head in their mouth to get a drink. This poor giraffe was not made for this climate, though I do like how they made him festive with a wreath necklace:

My other favorite thing to do is look for things I'll one day get from my parents (once I move out of my tiny condo into a real house). I already have a huge stash of stuff in our barn (yes, we have a barn, no we don't live on a farm). Next on my list of things I want, no neeeed to have one day, this cuckoo clock that is hanging in the basement:


Alright, regular posting and blog-reading will resume on Monday, but until then HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm off to a masquerade party at J-Rod and Brittany's house!
For the party:


For when I'm cold (mask made by me!):


For when I drink too much champagne, and decide I need to be tranny-Batman:
 Dress - crazy outlet store by my house
Tights - Target
Shoes - Linea Paolo (Nordstom's Rack)

Have a fabulous yet safe evening everyone! And THANK YOU for a fabulous year, it really does mean a lot to me that anyone reads this and thinks my little frocks are fun!

Vaguely Intellectual Thursday

After yesterday's Vaguely ethnic Wednesday (which I totally made up), here is today's Vaguely intellectual Thursday (which I also made up):
 Glasses - thrifted American Optical horn rimmed glasses
Shirt - thrifted Target SAMPLE
Belt - thrifted
Skirt - thrifted Target SAMPLE
Tights - the dawn of time itself?
Shoes - Modcloth, free courtesy of Daddy Likey!


Le belt de awesome:


I'm finishing up all my holiday t-shirt orders and just screenprinted my first apron:

My sister is a crazy Martha Stewart-like woman. She's an interior designer who loves to cook, bake, garden, and just basically be perfect. She has a bunch of aprons, but they are all too beautiful for her to wear... so her husband asked me to screenprint her a white one, so she can dirty it up and then wash it! They love Mad Men, so I drew up a Betty Draper for her apron (and made it in robin's egg blue to match her kitchen!)

Last night was my book club meeting, which is endlessly awesome and hilarious. We spend an hour discussing The Old Man and The Sea (we picked a super short book because of all the insanity around Thanksgiving and a lot of my friends have grad school finals now). Then we spent an hour and a half discussing what book to read next (answer: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout, which won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction this year)

Trivia of the day:
How many kids have puked in my office so far this week?
Five!
