philly is still a weird place, sometimes. i find myself walking down walnut st (aka the madison ave of philly–thanks to primo retailers such as arden b. and coldwater creek) feeling like bella swan in a sea of donatella versaces. it can get a girl down sometimes. even when i see my mom, i feel like this is what she’s really trying to tell me:
so this weekend, in the privacy of my own home, while it shitstorms outside (literally, have you seen spruce on a saturday morning? ugh)–i’ve transformed.
just as a reference…
and 2 hours and 3 bottles of lancome bronze flash later:
i am indebted to sexy-people blog and awkward family photos for serious daily entertainment. here’s some recent best-of-the-best….let me know your fave!
why did lil sis avoid the perm monster?
happy wispy bangs
it seems as though the dorney park photo studio got a whole lot pervier than when camp moshava took us there?
…in high summer fashion combos. that’s right, ladies, it’s time to talk about how to keep it fly in summer ‘09.
prince of tides meets arabian nights
mmm regal redford

timeless chic!
or how about the perfect summer accessory? i vote mini backpack. great for bike riding, holding fresh produce at the farmer’s market, plus PVC means easy cleanup!
so comfy!
another great summer tip is storing all of your workplace gear (i.e. wet n wild aqua eyeliner, scrunchies and rainbow brite stationary) in one convenient place. enter the timeless carry-all—CABOODLES!
ecstatic & organized!!
classic aesthetic
my last summer tip for the day involves beauty and grooming. for summer 2009, i suggest investing in a perm. waves are BACK, ladies, and nothing says high summer fashion like having your hair stand up at least 3 inches from your scalp.
bewildered & beautiful
the "wet perm" look--a nice evening option
i leave you with some video inspiration to get you going. excellent examples of hair volume and accessorizing with ankle socks. stay funky america!
it’s been bottled up inside me for too long. sort of like that “ugly jew” idea that’s been brewing for a bit that i’m too scared to do.
anyway.
i just had some random bits of lady-related news to share with you.
1. UR SO RAVEN
