Bare Naked

Shirt & Sunnies – F21 // Jeans – Gap  //  Booties – Walmart  //  Jewelry & Bag – Threadsence

This particular morning I was headed to set.  So that means nothing done.  No hair. No make up.  I had straightened my hair a few days back, so I just kept that as it was when I woke up, and all I did was put on moisturizer. 

Normally I do something.  Put on some concealer, and mascara at least.  But nope.  You have to have a fresh face for the artists to do their work of turning you into your character.  Hence, washed and undone I went forth.

At least Han Solo added a bit of swagger to my step.

Stay Cool WIth Star Wars

Tank, Sunnies, Yellow Bracelet & Shorts – F21 //  Shoes – ModCloth  //  Bag – Threadsence  //  Pink Cuff – Brandy Melville 

The heat and humidity are killin’ my style.  I’m trying my best to stay cool, and stay upbeat. *I find the humidity oppressive* Most days I want to lounge around in front of my fan wearing the absolute bare minimum that courtesy will let me get away with.  But going out to a script read through means that I need to get dressed.  And I did, but my brain was not focusing on anything.  I barely made out the words on the script in front of me.  It was rough.  Though Star Wars always helps!

If you have any, I would love your styling stay cool tips!

I Got Hit By A Car

Tee – NowhereBad  //  Shorts, Sunnies, & Yellow Bracelet – F21  //  Shoes – Payless // Black cuff – Ebay
That’s right.  You read that right.  Just about 30 minutes before I took this photo I got hit by a car.  I was whizzing along on that bike of mine when an idiot car performed a last minute and illegal right turn with about half a second of warning from his blinker.  I immediately hit my brakes and turned my bike into the car so that I hit and slid along the vehicle instead of hitting it straight on at full speed and flipping over the rear windshield.
As soon as I did a quick diagnostic and ascertained that I was fine, as was my bike, I started yelling at the idiot driver.  He of course was full of excuses.  But I just kept yelling at him explaining every thing he did wrong – and there was a lot of things he did wrong.  I know because I am not only a pedestrian, but a cyclist, and a driver.  I know.  Oh I know.  And I wanted him to know that next time his actions could very well kill someone. 
Maybe yelling wasn’t the best course, but it’s my reaction to a scare like that.  Because I was momentarily scared and prepping in an instant to use all my Kung Fu fall training to hopefully survive that man’s mistake.
What is sad is he did this illegal turn because he was probably rushing to get to where he was going and thought this quick shortcut would get him there 30 seconds faster.  30 seconds.  Hopefully, he won’t value those 30 seconds as much next time. 
Or at least looks in his friggin’ side view mirror first!
p.s.  I’m okay.  I’ve just got one gruesome bruise on my hip.

Wild Ferret

Top – some random site  //   Jacket – Ark&Co.  //  Jeans – Gap  //  Necklace – Threadsence  //  Shoes – Payless  //  Sunnies – F21
You all know I love a good paradox or contradiction in terms.  Well, pairing a feminine, sequined jacket with an Aliens inspired tee is pretty much the perfect combination for me.  It’s like the rock ‘n roll tee and chiffon pairing but for nerds you know?  Here I was on my way to a backyard fencing league some friends of mine started.  My fighting sigil?  Wild Ferret, because at one point someone sparring with me said it was like trying to bottle a wild ferret.  That’s me.  Cute, cuddly, wily and vicious when I need to be.

Geeked Out

Star Wars Tee – Purple Cactus on Etsy  //  Button up – Esprit  //  Vest – H&M  //  Cords  – Le Chateau  //  Boots – Locale
So in stark contrast to yesterday’s post, I’m completely and utterly dressed down and geeked out.  Yup, that’s a word.  Geeked.  The official definition in the dictionary has my picture next to it.  In fact, this exact picture.  Or maybe the picture in any of my other Star Wars shirts.  Oh yes, there are more than one.  ‘Cause just like good chips, you can’t have just one. 

Really Just A Wimp

Top- F21  //  Tee – Etsy  //  Pants – from a swap
Yeah I know.  Bad blogger lady.  But it’s so cold I’m loath to take any pictures.  I’m still getting dressed it’s just that when my body is covered in goosebumps head to toe I’m really finding it hard to get any motivation to take me coat off for pictures.  Which is really to say that I’m too much of a wimp to take pictures in this weather.  C’est la vie.  Spring is just around the corner n’est pas? 
Happy Belated Valentine’s day!  Love you all *hugs*

Groomed and Composed, Always

If you’re trying to be a fashion blogger, one thing to consider is photos.  Good fashion photos showcasing your best side, you in your most elegant poses, and with properly placed limbs in order to best bring out the clothing is a necessity.  
Fashion blogging is all about creating a believable portrayal of the images you see in Vogue magazine:  elegant, chic and graceful.  It’s about creating a dreamlike atmosphere.  A fantasy we all want to attain. That is why I endeavor to, at all times, present myself in the most groomed and composed manner possible. 
*In case you haven’t had a coffee yet, let me note that today’s post is brought to you by “A healthy dose of sarcasm.”*

What I Share With You

Hat – Zellers
Shirt – ?
Shorts – Gap
Shoes – Lulus

Through a recent comment, I had a great conversation with a reader named Dawn about some issues she brought up in her post, and issues I brought up in my first post.  We were discussing the issue of privacy and our choices regarding that. Namely, posting our child’s pictures on the net and sharing intimate details of our lives. I don’t post full face shots of my girl.  It’s my choice to maintain a level of her privacy. *Please don’t assume that this in any way takes away or belittles your choice to post your child’s pictures*

Dawn also brought up the issue of whether you can have a real connection if you don’t share everything.  I responded with this:

 “I try to be as open
as I feel comfortable – which isn’t everything – while guarding her
privacy.  Also, you can still make connections.  I don’t tell the friend
I have coffee with everything about my life, but that doesn’t mean the
connection is any less genuine.  I don’t tell co-workers everything and
again, they are real connections.  So no, I don’t think you have to
share everything to have a connection as long as you’re genuine in what
you do share.“

I just wanted to bring you in on this conversation and say that while you may not know the intimate details of my life, what I do say to you and what I do share is 100% me and sincere.

That’s the best I can offer.  Hopefully, that’s enough.

A Wonderful Week

July 4 Shirt – don’t remember I’m sorry.  It’s old.
Vest – AE
Jeans – Gap
Shoes – Threadsence

I’m going to see some Fringe Festival plays today as part of a fun gig to review them for Mooney on Theatre.  Definitely looking forward to getting out there and having a good time. It’s been a wonderful week so far filled with photoshoots, kung fu classes, audits of acting classes, and now this!  Keep it coming July.  Next up, several other projects, including the premiere of Posthuman on SFNTV.com, before I leave on the 22nd for my best friend’s wedding.  Oh yeah!

p.s. Due to the amazing response to the Coffee Talk: Posing vlog, I’ll definitely be adding a video element to ModaMama.  Next vlog coming at you on July 13th!

Krikee!!

Drake and I are wracking our brains.  When Baby gets upset or frustrated she says/yells a word that sounds exactly like, “Kirkee!”  *She’s never seen the Crocodile Hunter*  I’m Polish, Andrew is Canadian/British, how did we end up with an Aussie baby?  So confused….
