"Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year"

Dearest The Internets!

I got my huuuuur cut! Five (5!!!) whole inches, kid! And guess what? I'm acquiring a digital camera tomorrow. A new Cannon! I foresee lots of daily outfit pics in our future.

Smooches!

"The (After) Life of the Party"

Dear The Internets,

The leopard print dress I ordered from Torrid came last week! And I loooooooooove it. 

Mini review: It's a lot shorter on me than on the model, but that's to be expected because my torso is long. I paired it with deep smoke coloured tights from LB today, so no worries on the length issue. The fabric, which I was initially worried about based on the description, is absolutely fantastic! It's not clingy or itchy and it looks like it will keep well. I have a feeling I can do a lot of different looks with this piece. So I'm thrilled. All in all, this dress is a must have!

Happy day, indeed.

"I Used To Have A Heart"

Internets!

I got suckered into placing an order at Torrid.com by one of the zillions of emails they bombard my inbox with. (It's almost to the point of harassment!)  At first the 30% OFF didn't seem enticing, but then I saw that a Betseyville purse I'd been dreaming about was half off ($59, org. $118) Well, damn. You, and they, know I can't say "no" to THAT. So...I was a naughty ekg and bought some stuff  (dress, glasses, halloween costume,  and the bag of my life).

Admit it, its darling! Happy early birthday to me? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!

When the package comes, I shall have a full report.

Until next time!

"Death At One's Elbow"

Yo, Internets!

I've been dying for one of these satiny bow necklaces ever since I saw 500 Days of Summer a billion times last month.  Now I see Torrid has one!  Believe you me, I need another necklace like I need a 4th chin...but ughhhhhhhhh think of how adorable I would be? Think of the children!!!!!!!!!!!

$12.00

I'll look into it for us, Internets. K?

Lovingly yours,

"Vices"

Dear Internets,

I am home sick. As I type, there is a mad storm of awfulness brewing inside of me. It's rather disgusting!  I'm feeling super light-headed and giggly, however, so I guess there's an upside.  Before I fall asleep again, I wanted to come show you this lovely find for Fall...

$22.50, online only

Yes, that's right! Our very own black miniskirt made entirely of sequin (and love!) Thank you, Wet Seal.  You done good!

Now... if only your entire plus collection wasn't "online only." Grrrrrr...?

On a sad note: Dear Torrid, Please stop making your plaid pleated miniskirts.  Forever!  They're an insult to all fatties who are actually fashionable and cute. I don't care if they're a top seller. They're revolting. Seriously. Have you ever seen them out on the streets? The people who buy these every year are tragic because you keep supplying them with a garment that they just don't know how to wear.  It's all baaaaad news! Fail. Fail! Make it stop.

Your friend in sickness and in health,

"Cold And Blue And Lifeless"

 Dear The Internets,

BOO! Admit it, I scared you! Okay, maybe not?

October is my favourite month of the year; Halloween my ultimate holiday. Every year I break down and revel in the awesomeness of Halloween merchandise...stickers, cards, candy, jack-o-lanters, decorations. You name it, I hoard it!

I'm still on the fence about this year's costume, though. I have a lot of ideas but no real action plan. I am, however, absolutely enamoured by the thought of me in this !!! Slutty fairytale character costumes aren't really my thing, so I would put a twist on it. ZOMBIE Snow White...er...."Snow Princess!" (Sorry, Disney Licensing Police.) Everything is better when there's zombies involved.

We shall see. October 31st is still a few weeks away. I can always pull out something I already own and save myself the $70. Cackle, Cackle.

Frightfully yours,

ekg♥

"Head First"

Dear Internets, 

I'm sitting at the University Center in the most comfortable ikea-type chair my butt has ever encountered, in case you're wondering.  It so wiiiiiide and roomy. Good job, person who selected the seating!

So I just wanted to hop on for a second and talk about how much i adore headbands. I'm definitely a head accessory person, so this should come as no surprise to anyone. Hats, headbands, hair flowers, hair bows, love it all!

Lately I'm rocking uber headbands, though. Like today.  I got tired of being the girl with all the flowers so I'm switched up my image to be the girl with all the bows. Kudos and cupcakes to my pushers at Forever 21 and Torrid for keeping me stocked...especially Forever 21, who's price points are ON POINT with my college-student "budget". There's something about the $3.80 price tag attached to most of their headband selection that makes my heart skip a beat. (Torrid, take note! You can buy 3 headbands at F21 for the same price as 1 at your store. Hmmmm...)

Okay. There is a girl yelling at her boyfriend in here. It is apparently very serious.  SHE IS DONE, PATRICK! SHE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF YOU ANYMORE. 

Must...watch...this...goodbye!

Sincerely,

your ekg♥
