Look-a-Like Lovers

Have you ever noticed couples dressing like each other? I'm not talking about people who are on vacay in NYC, or other touristy places. They are equipped with backpacks and maps and are afraid they're going to get separated from one another, so they dress IDENTICAL so they can spot each other while making their way through the chaos of Times Square or Grand Central or pretty much anywhere that has more than 6 people... meet The Greens. You can barely even see Mrs. Green because Mr. Green is hovering so close to her. I'm pretty sure they are using one of those kiddie leashes that parents use for their wild children.

I was really talking about couples dressing alike, but not TWINSY. You know? Check out Mr. and Mrs. Spring-time Neutrals. Don't they look sweet?

Or the Nauticals? Cute, huh? I think their plaids really compliment each other.

I caught this pic of Mr. and Mr. Bright-Polo having a Sunday coffee. I'm pretty sure they have no idea how close to twinsy they are...

H and I would fit into this match-y match-y group, because we both only wear black. (If you are new or have forgotten why his name is H, it is not short for Husband, or Him, or He, or How-the-hell-did-I-end-up-married-to-this-guy, you can read where it came from here.) Unfortunately for you, me, (I don't know who) I don't have permission to post a pic of him, but you can see a pic of us on my Dad's blog. He posted one without asking any one's permission, but he can do that because he is my Dad.

Skull Heads

So, I haven't been posting any outfit pics lately, and can I tell you why? Yes? Ok, I will. And this is not me complaining, this is just me telling you about my day and about my life... I don't want my blog to be "vivianne-complains-a-lot-dot-com" ok?

Well, I am struggling with my summer attire right now. While the temps in NYC are kind of all over the place- anywhere from 60 to 90... that is not the problem... I don't spend a LOT of time outdoors (shocker, I know) The problem is the soaring temps inside my office! I share an office space with 2 other designers, seemingly normal girls, and yet they apparently have sub-zero body temperatures, even during the month of June, and therefore crank up their space heaters- which then warms our entire room despite any effort of the building's AC unit. They are super sweet, great girls, so I haven't been able to get up the courage to roll them in their desk chairs right out the 12th floor window... We go back and forth very sweetly all day - I ask to turn off the heater, then open the window, then they ask to turn the heater back on... then I die a little, then go into the bathroom, strip down to my bra and undies and try to shove my whole body into the sink to cool off... without getting my hair wet. Duh.

Since I am a designer, I am going to start telling my bosses that bikinis worn as "work attire" are trending- just so I can wear them to the office. Maybe then I won't DIE of heat stroke.

Having said ALL that, this is all I have for you- my necklace... (don't worry, this is not ALL I'm wearing today!) It is PROB my FAVE necklace. My friend Ash got it for me in Mexico, and I always get ... attention when I wear it. Especially when I wear it to church! Um, its fashion! Yall know I love Jesus! So what if I wear skull heads to church! It looked good with my dress!! Sheesh. Love it?!

Monday Man-day

Good Morning!

Although I am not thrilled about it being Monday, I am happy about the temp in NYC being below 1000 this morning. Geez. For a few weeks there I thought I was back in Texas!

I am also happy to post these pics! Yes, friends it is Man-day!

Caught this pic yesterday while waiting (FOREVER) for the subway. Love the mix of dressy and casual...

Yesterday was my baby brother's Bday, so I am posting this pic of him. I am so proud to say he is my brother- He has great style, some of which is my influence (I made the shirt he's wearing) and some that is all his own. He is charming, funny, talented and I am so excited to have him living in NYC now!

Happy Bday Ty! Are you still coming over for dinner? Love you.
