Wanted: maxi skirt

High school me would probably disagree with me now (mostly because these would've been dad-approved and that's SO not cool), but maxi skirts are super cute. Plus, it means no shaved legs needed! I need one immediately.

Jersey.

Super girly.

Tie-dye. I'm probably not hippie enough to pull this off but I really like it for some reason. Also, my stomach looks exactly like that. Just FYI.

Tomorrow's the day

Bright and early (actually, probably still-dark and early) tomorrow morning, I'm heading to the airport and then on to the good ol' US of A. I'm dreading the long plane ride, but it would make the trip go a lot faster if someone got me welcome home presents. Hint, hint.

Here's what you can get me:
Tina Fey's new book
A picnic basket
Barbecued brisket
A professional unpacker/organizer
Wishes/prayers for my job interviews next week

Snood snood snood

I know it's a little late to add to my Christmas wish list, but I suddenly really want a snood. It's probably mostly due to the name, but it would also help me with the problem I face every time I put on a scarf. I seriously can never decide how I'm supposed to wear it. Two ends hanging down? One over my shoulder? Wound tightly around my neck?

(I'm talking modern tubular scarf snoods and not the old-timey hair-net snoods. Not that I knew what either of them were ten minutes ago.)

Love these:

A couple notes on these two:
a) Why have I never bought anything from Topshop?
and b) Can I pull off orange?

I'd like to see if I'm brave enough to try the hooded snood look, like this Etsy shop photo with the creepy mannequin head.
