Elisabeth-Louise Vigee-Lebrun

My all time favorite artist. The first women to be admitted to the Academie de peinture et de sculpture (big deal painters of the french court around the time of Marie Antoinette). The second to last painting is a self-portrait. I love the confidence she exudes.

Sassy!

Lately I've been slaving away on a sassy cross-stitch for one of my good friends. I don't want to post it and ruin the surprise, but it's very much in the spirit of one of Rachel Mckay's creations (shown below)

Bitch, please. 

Bike.

I've mastered the art of riding a bike in 4 inch heels.
I can even ride in skirts without flashing my garters.
I can go up hills, bumps, curbs, and even had a brief...perilous moment with mountain biking.
But somehow, I can never manage to keep from running into my pedals when I'm walking the bike. I always succeed in scratching up the backs of my legs and destroying my stockings in the process.

Tricky tricky

What I'm Wearing...like three days ago

Three days ago...still in shorts and icky t-shirts. Today, its thigh highs and scarves!!! 'Tis the season! Sort of...at night its chilly enough for a sweater but it can get a little hot during the day with all of the sunshine. Like my new glasses? I had a cuter pair but I lost them in the abyss of my dorm.

If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it!

This is pretty much the culmination of everything I could want in a sweater. Herringbone, 3/4 sleeves, pale peach, double ruffles, baroque-esque cut. It is perfection. If I'm lucky and lay-off the pound cake, it won't make me look like a cow with a butt-ruffle.  One can only hope.

*UPDATE*...this sweater is a piece of crap. A very sheer piece of crap. Shoddily made, sub-par fabric. Bahhh. I'm not happy with Urban Outfitters! The zipper on my new skirt actually broke the other day while I was riding my bike. My ass got to greet Baton Rouge on a sun-shinny morning. First that, and now this. F -, Urban Outfitters. That's your life-grade.
