It's Like Ra-ee-ain.

Helloo. Today was eventful (not really) so I'll get right to the goods!


Tornados
I actually don't love tornados, but it just so happens that we had one today in Ohio. Exciting, exciting. I was at Urban Outfitters but the weather was too bad to drive home, so we ended up sitting in Starbucks for like two hours. It was pretty awesome.

As I said, I went to Urban Outfitters today. I didn't get much because I was just there last weekend but here's what I got:

Vintage-y Cigarette Case
I read in Marie Clare that Ashley Olsen uses a Vintage Cigarette Case as a wallet, so I bought a vintage cigarette case to look like a wallet ("I saw Regina George wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops" ... call it!). It's really pretty and it holds everything I need it to. It's great and I am really, really obsessed with it. I've been showing it off to everyone I've seen.


New Notebooks
The DJ one is my favorite, but school is too soon for even the prettiest of notebooks to make it any better.


Some Acid Wash Jeans
I tried on those red and purple skinny jeans that I wanted oh so much, but I felt like Richard Simmons, so I opted for the next funkiest thing. There's a really nifty zipper on the bottom, which is awesome because im short so they don't look stupidly long.


Cool Snake Bracelet!
This is the coolest piece of jewelry ever. It's gorgeous, but Katie talked me out of it. She hates snakes. Boo.

Moving on to a pretty similar obsession:



Urban Outfitters + ________
In case you haven't noticed, Urban Outfitters has been teaming up with my favorite things, NYLON magazine and the Cobra Snake. I love the Nylon+UO thing, especially the pull out Plastiscines catalog that came in the August issue of Nylon. It's quite inspirational. And I'm not really sure how the Cobra Snake thing is going to work, I think he's just shooting a Look Book for UO, but I'm sure it can't be bad. I love, love love, love love love the Cobra Snake.

Speaking of pictures from the cobra snake....

I want a headband like the one that girl is wearing. They were $12 at UO, which I thought was a bit steep for a braided piece of fabric, but now that I think about it, I'm probably not going to find much cheaper.... ideas? :]


I also saw this really adorable raccoon pillow. It's the cutest.

In music news:

I have officially crowned Cameron Matthew Followill my favorite King of Leon. To you this may seem like nothing, but trust me it is a big deal. I used to worship Jared.

And as if we didn't need another reason to love Chloe Sevigny:



Her spread in this month's Bazaar is ridiculously dope. It's titled "They Tried to Make Me Go To Rehab," and you can see it all here.

To finish it off, I have an opinion question and I'd like as much input as you all are willing to give :]

I love these old school Nike's, but I have numerous reasons for not buying them [yet]. I feel like I can't wear them with much. I also feel like I can't wear them without looking like a scene kid. What do you think?

That's all for now. I'll try to make tomorrow's post good because it's the last day of summer!

It's My Role, It's My Soul

Quite exciting finds today, I'd say. First I'll start with more new music.



This week Kings of Leon (!!!!!) and Ben Kweller both released Live CDs on iTunes. In case you didn't know (and I don't know how you would know... but) Kings of Leon are my very favorite band of all time EVER. So as you can tell, I am quite excited about this. They are completely amazing live and if you ever get the chance to see them you should. If you don't predict seeing them anytime, you should buy this Live From SoHo release on iTunes. As for Ben Kweller, he's in my top five of all time, so Ben Kweller:Live and Solo at the Artist's Den is pretty dope too.


More random music news, due to Barry Bonds' Homerun record-breaking, Kanye West has released a song cleverly titled 'Barry Bonds.' It's kind of a random excuse to release a song, but the song is pretty rad in my opinion. But for me, Kanye can do no wrong.

Also, today I made the stupid, stupid decision to pay the Anthropologie website a visit. "Oh, I'll just look. I won't get emotionally attached to anything," I thought. I was severly wrong. This is what I found (I used my self control and didn't even look at clothes after I checked shoes and accesories):




The first pair is my favorite girly-semi-spinoff of Oxfords that I've seen so far, and the second pair is just undeniably cute.



I didn't even look at the price on this because I was so sad that I couldn't have it. It has to be the coolest ring ever! I love owls and apparently they're so it this season. I want this pretty freakin bad!

And then I made my daily visit (no joke) to Urban Outfitters and found this beauty:



I am absolutely in love with it, but I'm afraid I'd never be able to pull it off because my legs are not sticks and I would be so sent home if I ever tried to wear it to school. But it's gorgeous and I want it anyway, even if it doesn't fit and I'll never wear it.

My sister has also been getting school clothes like mad lately, and today she got the cutest dress:

It's from Boden and I think that I might get one for me and alter it a bit. It would look so cute witih a sweater and tough boots. Plus, I'm thinking since it's a kids dress and I am not a kid it will end up being a lot shorter than it is on that girl, which makes it even better.

Tomorrow is Friday, so I think I'll go garage sale-ing, which I decided doesn't count as shopping. Just being a friendly neighborA ;] If I find anything, you'll surely be informed!
