Silly truffles...

Okay no, not silly truffles, but THE Foolish Truffle. It's my friend and Sal's-buddy's new/refurbished blog -- go check it out!

In other news, I am embarking on a ridiculous two-and-a-half week Yellowstone road trip with the family, leaving tomorrow morning at four AM to drive for FOURTEEN FREAKING HOURS IN ONE DAY all the way to Chicago. Lordy, I am going to die about 80 or so times on this trip, one from being attacked by a bear at Yellowstone, the rest from sheer shock, boredom, embarrassment, or carsickness. I hope to be with you again when I return.

While I'm gone, I may be able to post a few times; I will certainly try my hardest. My clothing selection is limited though, be forewarned.

Thus, I leave you with some final outfits to feast upon!

The cool-cats in the hats

Last night I went to see The Dark Night (which, by the way, was amazing!) and since we had to get to the mall so early in order to get tickets, we had time to discover this little vintage store and TRY ON HATS C:

pump it up

I was browsing around at thePayless online store and saw these:

And I have fallen in love. I've always loved pumps, and these are cheap so I'm tempted to buy them in every color (okay, let's be real...I'm flat broke so to me they're not that cheap). But they are a lot cheaper than these similar ones I saw on Closet Therapy.

the vesting game

Vests are still awesome, right? They've been a 'trend' for forever, and I've seen them everywhere in magazines and stores and whatnot for ages, but never on a real person. Why? Maybe I just live in an anti-vest town.

Last night and this morning I made this vest from a skirt/shirt/dress thing from Sal's (Salvation Army). I love the colors. Button inspiration comes from a T-shirt Surgery post on Livejournal. Stay tuned for actual outfits with this vest!
