My husband and I celebrated 1-year of marriage. Huzzah! We’ve been together for seven years, so we’re very familiar with what makes a good gift for each other, however, Finding the perfect vintage t-shirt is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Whenever I go to a thrift store, I always hit up the t-shirt section first because I am on a perpetual mission to expand my collection. It is more challenging than it sounds because the perfect vintage t-shirt has to be a combination of well worn, soft, baggy and long enough. It is about 100% humidity today, so I wanted to wear something comfortable; there is nothing more comfortable than a t-shirt and jeans. Then, since it is freezing in my office, I just added a
I’m guest writing this blog for Neon Notebook to ask the eternal question: do the crazy girls get the guy? As a recently-hired Cosmo writer (ahem, humble brag), I feel like I should have at least some sense of how all of this shit works, but let me tell you the truth: I am a disaster with everything related to dating and guys. (Thankfully for you all, I mostly write about fashion…) A recent real-life event (names changed, because, like, that’s hella awkward to give out the identity of this poor girl) prompted a long-winded gchat with Bekah, which ultimately
Full name?: Maren Murphy Position / Job title?: Parks & Recreation Planner, Blogger at Bureaucrachic 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I love animals, so I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was younger. That was until I learned that vets have to take care of sick animals—sometimes very sick. My heart At the beginning of the year my friend Belle told us she was going to spend the summer traveling all over Europe. Terrific! Who are you going with? No one. Aacckkk. Are you sure that’s a good idea? Four months on her own in strange countries is daunting for any solo traveler, let alone Belle who only just turned 21 and had never left the small town where she grew up. Of course–after all was said and done– she had a fabulous time! Leave it to a 21-year old to have such confidence (and naivety perhaps?) Belle’s advice for solo
The navigational shopping I LOVVVVEE TEXAS. The main reason I love living in Texas = no real winter! Yes, it gets cold for a few days, just long enough to bust out my favorite coats and boots, but then it is back to warm temps. This time of year is perfect because its cool in the mornings, but warm in the afternoons. This allows for my favorite fashion combo: sweaters and sandals. When I lived in Boston/NYC, I hated the winters. The snow was pretty for a few days, but the appeal wore off quickly. The thing that annoyed me most about winters Well folks, I am sure you have heard the devastating news: Conde Nast (publisher of Vogue, Glamour, GQ, etc.) is ending their internship program at the end of the year. After a handful of lawsuits filed by ex-interns over violations of minimum wage and overtime laws, the company has just decided to not have interns anymore. Here is the full article on WWD. To me, this seems like an extremely drastic move. The fashion industry can’t survive without interns!! They do all the grunt work that everyone else is to glamorous to do. The end of internships Ok for anyone that knows me, I get obsessed with things really easily. Most of the time, I get obsessed with really stupid things that no one cares about. Case and point this new sweatshirt dress that I bought at Old Navy over the weekend. I can’t stop talking about it because it is the most perfect specimen of clothing. It feels like you are wearing your favorite over-sized, worn-in sweatshirt only it looks like a normal dress, so it is socially acceptable to wear to work. I wore it meet with a potential new client yesterday. |
