mandatory leather vest post

My love for this leather vest is like my love for food; infinite.  It is absolutely perfect and I know I use this to justify everything I've ever bought, but it is meant to be.  At first I thought I would be spending my money on a jacket (more reasonable, right?) but no no no! For a layering freak, a vest is PERFECT.  I can fit all my layers and still avoid feeling claustrophobic.  Although the price tag was not a cute one, wearing it almost every day makes me feel better about the amount I spent on it.  Basically I'm obsessed with this vest and I hope you are too.

I never thought I would be writing a blog post about this...but I just cut my hair.  And it wasn't just a little "trim," I chopped off 10 whole inches for Locks of Love.  I also never thought that I would say this...but I think I like it better shorter than when it was long.  Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved my hippie hair but enough was enough.  My ends were dead and no matter how many hair growth pills I was taking (3/day to be exact) or how much moroccan oil I was spritzing into my locks, it was not getting any better.  So I grew a set and got it cut.  Plus, donating it to a great charity made me feel even better about it.  I've currently been updating my wardrobe to an edgier look (don't worry, the hippie is still in me) so that's been pretty fun.  Also, there's just something so liberating about cutting hair.  This sounds corny, but I feel like a new person and I am loving it soooo much.

p.s- I just bought a leather vest from Aritzia and I think you're going to die when you see it

The final cut!!

Ok, so not the same cut...but it's still the same effect

Lunchbox Laboratory outfit post

Here's what I ate and what I wore today! For all the Bellevue-locals, you need to try Lunchbox Laboratory if you have not yet.  By far the one of the best burgers I have ever had.  Doesn't quite beat Triple X, but honestly, what does?

The "Truffle Love" burger!! This is a must if you are a die-hard truffle fan like me.  

Complete with their signature tater tots :)
