--introducing taryn--

 I met Terese a while ago at work and we became friends in fashion.  I miss seeing each other’s outfits every day and sharing tips and giant fails that we have seen recently.  I’m into classic and classy fashion; and no, they are not the same thing.  Ruffles, polka dots, bright colors, wings (NOT to be confused with butterflies), and flowers are my staples.  I also have an embarrassing v-neck t-shirt addiction which I have vowed to remedy this year.

 I love many things and call everything my favorite.  I’m going to school, running a lot, and just being me and constantly redefining who that is. But I have three big, fabulous loves: my husband, my car, and diet coke...so, here are a few of my favorite things!  (Don’t be jealous)  Love you T!

--summer has arrived--

now if only you could have the summer without the dreadful heat...yuck...

Hi Terese's Blog! My name is Sarah:

My interests include politics, international relations,anthropomorphizing religion, spinning around in the kitchen (see picture above), holding other people's babies, taking pictures of stuff as I'm driving by, riding my beach cruiser, and traveling the world. I just joined the Peace Corps and leave for Eastern Europe in the fall. My eyes are green and I like the summertime.

Terese is one of my best friends. We met in the fall of 2008 when we worked at the same place. We weren’t friends at first. She didn’t like me I think. But like all works of fate, we realized we were meant to be together. This lady has been with me through it all: an engagement, playing UNO, planning a fabulous wedding that never happened (seriously though it would have been a fabulous event), the aftermath of a giant breakup, running into my Mormon friends during a drunken movie theater incident (pouring wine into water bottles can be dangerous in terms of unknown consumption potential), etc,good times,etc. And that is my ode to Terese…

Anyway, I was given very little direction as to what this guest post should be about. While I do love fashion, I can’t say I’m too particular or care much about owning designer stuff and if I wear something that costs more than 30$ I start to feel anxious that I’m going to ruin it. But my basic fashion philosophy is to wear what you love, wear what you feel comfortable in, wear what you can afford (my dad instilled a healthy respect for frugality in me at a young age), and lastly wear what makes YOU feel like you.

So, without further overly-worded ado, here are some pictures of me just being me in my clothes:

I have enjoyed making this instant human connection with you! Huzzah!

The Celebrity Cover Backlash

 I found this great article and it made me super excited. For awhile now I have been totally bored with magazine covers and their choices when it comes to models, interviews, etc. When you compare european covers to the american market it becomes blatantly obvious how commercial american fashion magazines have become. there is no edge, no appeal...nothing new and daring. than... i found a similar blog on cocoperez that made it clear... celebrity covers might be on their way out...

who does it better...models or celebrities?

--when big things get bigger--

one thing coco chanel said that i always found to be true is that 'before you leave the house, take one thing off.' in other words, less is more. in the case of these accessories (found at fashion show's around the world in 2010)-- i think the designers may not have been in tuned to coco's words of wisdom.

okay.. i will admit... i would love to get my hands on the green and white squared heels and the blue/gray wedges. and i would totally find a reason to wear one of those floral paper headpieces. other than that-- i think i would shy away from these accessories. just a little too 'larger than life.'
