in all seriousness, this is the most relevant of careers that i could possibly find upon graduation. i’m sure i would make pennies, but wouldn’t it be worth diving into thousands upon thousands of couture? does anyone have a connection with the albright? hook a sister up.
styling: miss-r
today, styling goes international! rachel wrote explaining a common problem among women when dressing; the dress as the “centrepiece” of an outfit. i love the way australians spell. anyway, even i have this issue at times, feeling that my accessories should coordinate with the main piece rather than drawing attention to each individual accent. it is always a goal to have every piece be...
Watches for Monday
i would say not for the sole reason that many people consider a rolex as a collectors’ item long after it has been used and over-used. tag heuer watches, while they are very well-made, sturdy and fashionable, have not been seen as the mark of establishment among the upper classes.
for example, my cousin was given a rolex by her mother once we graduated college as a mark of success and good...

“i wear colors in order to hide my dominating left brain.”
– martti’s reason, on hel-looks.
styling: danielac
in an effort to assist me in my boredom, daniela wrote hoping that i would provide her with some style assistance and/or advice. on a college budget, as are most of my readers, i immediately sought to find some cute accessories and pieces for her to wear to stand out from her collegiate peers, yet still look flirty and fun.
in addition, my goal was to keep the outfit within one store, proving...
styling: mattedits
i was specifically asked by matt for a look sans cardigan, which is a shame, because i do so love cardigans on men and i feel that they are underappreciated but i always love to help a fellow tumblr. side note: i am sorry that i missed you at the last tumblr meet-up, matt! look for me at the next one! with a unique style, but an appreciation for the “gq classic” look, i hope that my...

super jew to the rescue
some tumblrs have expressed interest in attending the play i am participating in, the temple beth el version of fiddler on the roof. i will be tzeitl, the eldest daughter.
i am not expecting a tumblr short bus to drive up for some of the shows (may 3, 4, 10, 17, 18), but i didn’t know if i should post any additional information.
yay/nay?
wow, randy. what the fuck.
randyhaddock:
I hate when people blog about clothes or fashion on Tumblr. It’s a waste of my dashboard space.

tumblinas:
The New York Times reports there’s a new emerging trend of hipsters being librarians. danhacker: That would be a pretty cool career change. Sarazucker- wanted to make sure you saw this. I know you were having trouble defending your career choice, but apparently you were way ahead of the trend!
future tumblr meet-ups
in the future, can we plan for some saturday nights? those are really the only nights that i have available in my schedule until mid-may. i am very self-centered. i miss all of the boys and girls that i met at the last meet-up, and i would like to see all of them again soon.
thank you.

the premise of my tumblr
there are often times when i think long and hard about one particular subject to the point where my brain starts to hurt.
this is one of those times.
today, i wondered what exactly was the point of my blog. i realize that most blogs out there don’t have one common thread, but i have always strived to keep a connection between my posts. i try my best to concentrate on things such as street...
