Save The Drama

Shirt: Old Navy, $19
Skirt: Urban Outfitters, $30
Heels: secondhand American Eagle brand, $9 from thrift store
Necklaces/bracelet: Target, $10 for 3-pack of imitation pearls

I've got a hot appointment at the theatre tonight with a gaggle of lady-friends, so I wanted to wear my best skirt for the occasion. This is a skirt that makes me feel a little like a ballerina and a lot like a style blogger; the mid-calf length is something I would have steered clear of not too long ago, but I really like it these days. Pairing the dramatic skirt with a knotted, western-ish shirt feels happy and whimsical.

So, television observation: what's up with all the shows about cakes and cupcakes and bakeries? It's a very unusual programming trend, I think. And now I've got this huge sugar craving to deal with.

Goodness: Getting All Colorful

My sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and I went to the Holi Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork on Saturday. It was splendid. I danced and got purple powder in my nose and heard a monk tell all of us (the hundreds of people gathered for the color throw) that he hoped the only chemical we were under the influence of was LOVE. Because LOVE is all you need. Such a good day for hippie Sara.

Swingset

Headband: secondhand, hand-me-down from a friend
Shirt: Old Navy, $19
Sweater: Old Navy, $10
Pants: secondhand, $0.56 from thrift store
Loafers: secondhand Cole Haan brand, $2 from thrift store
Necklaces: both secondhand -- circular one found on the ground, the other a vintage hand-me-down from my mom

Here are some things from the last 48 hours or so:

My soon-to-be sister-in-law (she's marrying my little brother in June) told me that I have a nice little bubble butt. She meant it as a total compliment and that's how I took it. If they're coming from people I know and like, posterior compliments are always welcome.

I've decided that painful headbands are stupid, and if they have a ginormous fabric flower attached, that's even worse. Neither of these facts stopped me from wearing that headband today, though I did strategically choose pictures that would downplay the size of the flower.

Once I get on a swing, do not tell me to get off of it. It's the best place in the world.

I'm just gonna say it: Sucker Punch is awesome. My husband and I saw it last night, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. To clarify, I am not a fifteen-year-old boy looking to scam on some hot movie chicks and hot movie violence; as it turns out, the movie also has significant appeal for a 24-year-old, non-gamer-type lady. If you like your movies melodramatic, musically-charged, imaginative, and heavy on the girl-power, go see it.

New SYSY, Baby Monkey & Amacci!

SYSY has a beautiful new spring dress in the shop. The Ayla is a simply styled sleeveless dress in a silky woven fabric. The layered-look bodice is complemented by an empire waist sculpted skirt.

My hair is from Amacci called Emita. I like how the bangs fringe the forehead and the hair is pulled forward over the right shoulder. To give me that finished and polished look I'm wearing Cynthia Pumps from Baby Monkey. These shoes are scripted with 3 metal colors for the buckles.

Once-in-a-blue-moon event: my hair is straight today! I went to the salon to have my hair color re-done, and the stylist offered to blow-out my hair as well. She made it look really nice and everything, but I think I look better with curls. It's nice to try something different, all the same.

Today marks the beginning of The Weeklong Remix, installment numero dos, and I'll be partying it up with my blue gingham shirt this week. Today's look was super-casual, sort of Ellen Page inspired. Actually, I wore this shirt to church yesterday as well, but I just couldn't bring myself to take pictures. I blame my un-motivation on the fact that my blonde roots were getting outrageous. Problem solved. Maybe I'll don the same outfit later this week. Anyhoo ... get excited, party people.

LAQ's Linnea!

The newest face to come out of LAQ is Linnea.

Mallory Cowen did away with the hairbase on this release and instead is giving us ten skins with brunette brows and ten with blonde brows. This change definitely makes the skin more versatile. The brows are drawn really well although I don't particularly care for the color of the blonde brow. I photographed all twenty skins so you can compare the brows and makeups yourself. The LAQ lips are exquisite as always, plump and kissable. The eyeshadow are all shaded nicely, I especially like the clarity and color of number 9.

The issue I have with this skin is the makeups all look basically like previous releases, there's nothing here that's new. Price wise $L1990 ($8 US Dollars) is alot of money to spend on 10 skins that look the same. It's time LAQ thought about offering single skinpacks. I'd prefer to sample just one and save some money.

NEW Truth Hair!

Truth has several cute new styles in the shop. First up is Sarita. This is a very long straight hairstyle that drapes down the back and is pulled into a messy bun and pigtail on the side. What's really cute about this hair is the long pigtail can be removed to completely change up the look. I like the bangs that fringe the forehead.

I'm a big fan of short cuts and Mark is a style for the guys but I have to admit that I love the way it looks on me :)

Last, but not least, is Carina. This is a really cute ponytail in back with the front of the hair framing both sides of the face. The hairband is color changeable too. All 3 hairs come with wigs that streak and the standard versions. Demos at Truth are always free, single color packs costs $L250 and a fatpack of all 63 colors is $L1500.

Hanaya Yummy Collectibles!

The Mixed Flowers in Water Bath contains 3 blushing roses, 3 sunrise calla lilies, 1 species tulip, calla and rose foliage. I haven't gotten around to arranging these beautifully sculpted flowers into a vase yet. Here they lay in a water bath for several days fragrant and fabulous! What's really charming about this piece is the moving water that you can't see in my picture.

The March Group Gift at Hanaya Yummy Collectibles is the very lovely glass topped coffee table with a ceramic bowl flowering planter. The table and flowers are 6 prims in total and a real eye pleaser. There's no fee to join this group and the gifts are always beautifully made and so very creative.

Frantic Friday (like "Manic Monday," but not)

Sweater: secondhand Blue Asphalt brand, hand-me-down from friend

Necklace: Wal-Mart, $5

Sheath dress: secondhand Ann Taylor brand, $13 from thrift store

Jeggings: gift from my mom

Boots: Rocketdog brand via Macy's, $30

Sick of this dress yet? Because I'm not. I pulled out the dress-over-pants trick on Friday and actually liked it, surprisingly enough.

Friday was a very draining day. I went to see a new-to-me gynecologist whose office is about an hour and a half away, and as luck would have it, the weather was horrendous for most of the drive. High stress level! I made it to the appointment on time, though, and while the appointment itself went really well (such a great doctor!), it's ultimately still a feet-in-metal-stirrups situation, and that's not the most relaxing thing. I finished up with a semi-stressful return drive and several hours of work. Thank goodness I wore comfortable shoes and clothes.

So here it is, the fifth and final sheath dress remix:
