So I have this friend and she rocks! Her name is Fenna Blue, which makes her cool because who do you know that has a more awesome name then that?! Sometimes she goes by Short Girl, well, because she's a short girl! She takes pretty pictures! We went to a park and took some pictures with these smoke bombs and it was fun even though it was raining. The rain makes the pictures look better. I inhaled the smoke and that sorta sucked but over all it was still a pretty sweet time.

Storms a Brewin

Hurricane, turned "Superstorm" Sandy has brought quite a large amount of rain our way. I was into it to begin with because we could always use some rain but it is a bit much now considering it has been raining for about 5 days or some crap. I took an adventure down to Kendal Lake in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. There just so happened to be a marathon happening and some of the runners were doing a double marathon which equals out to be 53.2 miles.

Dressing for rain is fun! I finally have a practical umbrella and a pair of really nice rain boots. Long skirts are ideal for this weather because they can blow all around but they still keep your legs warm without having to tuck pants into your boots. This outfit was random and thrown together last minute with things I would have never really thought to wear together. I'm into it.

Fenna and I had a little photo shoot with some smoke bombs. I haven't seen the finished product yet but I hope we got a few good shots even though it was cold and raining. It was really fun regardless and I can't wait to share them. On our way out of the park we were approached by a man who had passed us previously but was now missing one of his running partners. We spent the next hour or so helping his wife not get hypothermia and keeping a lookout until he came back with the other women. It was successful and I think my adrenaline kept me warm the whole time.

These Angry Birds were really nice and apologized for ruining the picture but I was happy they were there!

Speaking of the Storm a Brewin'!!! My awesome friend Jesse has a blog called that! Check it out!

In the New!

I'm not going to say much about the storm because it is kind of bumming me out. I hope that everyone is safe and it sucks that things are being ruined by this natural disaster. 

Anywho, In the midst of it all I am staying inside today in the warmth with my dude. We might leave to go by Assassins Creed III. I'm a little scared to drive outside just because it is easy to wreck or get wrecked into by someone else and I really don't need that to happen. This is for the best. Here are some short sentences to catch you up on my life. Ready......GO!

I'm excited to watch New Girl tonight. I just ate some pizza rolls. I have been listening to The Papercut Chronicles by Gym Class Heroes recently. My dog is scared of the storm. I'm not dressed yet. I want to go on a walk. Today was Coco's first day at work, sort of. Here is a picture of me and my dog from yesterday!

I love those days during the months of fall when it might be about 73 degrees out side, but when the wind blows it feels like 40! The perfect kind of weather for a coat and bare legs! I adore this skirt because it breaks the rule of wearing black and brown together without being leopard print. I also love the bright green ivy up the side of this building. Who would have thought all I had to do was walk around the side of an old abandoned building to find a beautiful backdrop. Thanks for taking me here, Fenna!

Surprisingly the ivy was really soft.

Getting away with a few more short skirts is going to be hard because I feel the chill of winter right around the corner and I'm anticipating it like crazy. I love layers and tights and boots and sweaters and coats and being warm! I also know that I must soak up as much winter as I can because it goes away before you even know it!

EHTP or Everyone Hates These Pants

Unfortunately, we didn't get a shot of my butt which would have been a good starting point to explain why everyone hates these pants. But I'm not here to talk about what people hate, I'm here to tell you what I like and it's as simple as that! I love these pants and they are so comfortable except for sometimes when I eat too much and the elastic waist squeezes my belly! The bad part, and part that everyone dislikes is that there are no back pockets which is unflattering for just about everyone. I just rock them with a shirt that is long in the back. I enjoy that they have an elastic cuff at the ankle because then I can bunch them up a little at the bottom.

Peep that classy ponytail on my wrist!

Showing off the ankle tatties. (that's not a real word, nor do I ever use it in all seriousness)

In the NEW!

Here are some new things happening in my life! They are awesome and I want you to know!!!

A few weeks ago I was offered a wonderful opportunity to help out my good friend Lauren. I accepted this offer so quick you wouldn't even believe, which means, tomorrow I will be working at Noto from 3 until 7! If you aren't familiar, GET FAMILIAR, because Noto is soooo cute! The flagship store is located right next to Urban Eats (more on that place later!) which is right next to Musica (another awesome place in Akron!)! Akron is so lucky to have a place like Noto and even more lucky because Lauren is opening a Pop-Up-Shop for the holiday season and maybe if I am lucky enough....I'll get to help her out over at that store as well.

Stop in to see me! I wish Leo and Charlotte were working with me but at least I got this cute picture of us!

AND!!!!! Brian and I went to Target randomly the other night after a sweet and delicious trip to Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream! I know these statements are not very exciting but check this out!

The 'Salty Caramel' ice cream from Jeni's is freaking killer! I could eat it every day. Also, now I really enjoy Adventure Time, I got this really cute hat AND I got to finally see Bridesmaids all the way through. The first time I watched it was in a giant red truck driving from Redlands to LA and I was in the back seat, needless to say I didn't get to see much. This night was amazing and truly deserves all of the exclamation points that are in this blog post!

Holy Crap!!!!!
