Save The Drama
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
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!
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.

Straight-Shooter
Striped shirt: Alternative Apparel, $11
Jeans: Guess brand via Buckle, $92
Shoes: secondhand Converse brand, gift (my mom got them for me at a yard sale)
Necklace: Wal-Mart, $8
Headband (as bracelet): grocery store, $3 for 6-pack
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!
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!
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.
