It seems like everyone is having one of those days

You know the kind. The ones where everything feels like it might be going to hell in a hand basket with a couple of good laughs along the way. I can honestly say these last few days have been like that for me. The break down is as follows:
Interview at Macy's - I don't think the woman liked me because I had given up on express, didn't look into applying at the downtown flagship store, and I didn't have Wednesday's free due to school. I felt like I was being scolded by my mother as I walked out. Not good.

6 mins later... I got into a car crash accident. I took a left turn too quickly and without pause. The other woman wanted to beat the yellow/red light. To say the least both cars were totaled, and her front bumper was Frankensteined to mine. At least the first show of frustration from my father were the words you could have been killed.

Friday:
I was up at the crack of dawn (i.e. 6am in the midwest these days) so I could be down town for the FGI Career Day. Lots of fun had by all, until about 3:30pm when all of my muscle aches from the night before made themselves known. Let me tell you how not awesome it is to feel like you had an intense workout, but know you won't reap any of the benefits.

Saturday:
On my way to my internship I realized yesterday was my mother's 2 year anniversary. I have officially been without my mother for two years, and that kind of scares me. After that the day got crazy at the furrier. Good for business, bad for the body. I had forgotten that that was how retail should work (Express hasn't scheduled me in 5 weeks). Got home last night at 8 and promptly passed out. Woke up at 9am.

I'm hoping this next week is better. And not just for me, but for everyone.
On a good note: Lonny Magazine's Nov/Dec issue just launched the other day and I read about this new store in NY called C.Wonder. I wish we had one here! I would love to work/shop at a place like this. It's like Kate Spade meets Anthropology, and the average price tag is $40 and under.

In ode to Halloween...

I love you dearly my night of fright,
I love you truly on your night of childhood delight.
Alas though my dear,
Our romance this year was not evident
or clear,
For my dog had a stroke,
and had to ignore you
as is now evident I fear.

Hope you all went hog wild and had lots of candy this year! I at least went to a party on Saturday where I was able to stay warm and look like a cute pin-up due to being a glam version of Rosie the Riveter. How was this achieved? Easy. I wore my high waisted jeans, a jean button-up shirt that I rolled to my elbows, and did pin up make-up and hair inspired by this inspiration board of mine:

  

The idea itself was totally yanked from this site here: What I Wore

Best part is it held up around a bonfire!
Next up for holidays: TURKEY DAY!!!
