I wish I could record a snippet of what I’m listening to at the moment….
howling wind, pounding rain, and a crackling fire….
{and Jimmy talking to me while I tune him out as I type away, the usual}
Ahhhhh, so cozy and relaxing.
Nothing gets me more excited than a storm that lasts all week long.
You guys, it is CRAY-ZEE round these parts of SoCal, and I’m not even kidding.
Now I kinda get what ya’ll ’round the states mean when you talk about weather.
I get it, I get it!!!!
Ya, well, you can take it back on Saturday….cause seriously….if I don’t see the sun soon…
someone might get hurt around here.
And I’m not naming names either.

So, as you can imagine, a Southern California girl can only be in the rain a matter of minutes before she LITERALLY begins to melt.
It’s awful, seriously, you don’t want to witness it.
And luckily, the fates (or God) agreed with me because my work event was cancelled for the night and I got to stay home cuddled up in my jammies.
Not so lucky for you, because there was no way I was ’bouts to put on something cute and gallop outside for a photo sesh.
Nuh uh, not even for you.
Buuuuuuuut, because I believe fashion shouldn’t suffer, even in the rain….
I will present you with what I would have DIED to wear had my event gone forward as planned.
Be inspired:
~~~~~~
Let’s be clear.
I don’t own a single item on this fab collage, but I so would in an instant should Jimmy ever desire to grow a money tree one day.
Okay, let’s talk items, shall we?
Lotsa chains are a staple and a must, no matter what.
Love. Need. Always must have.
That bracelet, OMG.
Snakes are so hot right now. I’m all about it. Makes me feel fierce.
Not that I’m not already.
Rawr.
And those rain boots are GENIUS.
Only when Jimmy saw me googling them, he firmly told me that I did NOT need to buy rain boots that expensive for a weeks worth of rain.
Sweet Jimmy….how naive he can be sometimes.
I thought the dress was cute to soften up the hard core look of the boots, and of course I needed that hooded leather jacket to tie it all together.
Last but not least….the umbrella (ella ella, eh).
Um, A.Dorable, right?
It may not go, but who cares!!!
When you have something this cute to use, sometimes matching goes right out the window.
So you see?
Just because it’s raining and stormy and cold,
doesn’t mean you can’t still look amazing.
That is if you live anywhere other than California.
Because we don’t go out in the rain.
~~~~~~~
Enjoy your weekend guys!
My tattoo is this Saturday, so you better believe there will be pictures and a vlog documenting the whole thing.
Yipppppeeee.
Stay tuned.

i’m diggin the whole look. and i will forgive you for not posting your own fashionable self, since it sounds like we are going to get full-on summer getting the tattoo. i can’t wait!!
Love the boots….I’m thinking of buying a cute pair of Hunters.
CANNOT WAIT to see the tattoo!!
oh lady!!!! i love it all!!! that is perfectly put together…however i sense that should a certain banana lovin gal cross your path while you were wearing those boots you would probably be forced…er.asked politely to hand them over…hahaha!
happy friday to you friend and hoping that storm passes sooon!!!!
we have had so much rain this year it is insane!!! in fact we are having rain today & sleet & some snow mixed in…. hurry up spring!!!
I need those boots. They would go very well with my Harley.
And you are making me want to get another tattoo. I have four and have promised myself a half sleeve when I reach my goal weight. Hopefully I will be able to get it this summer!
Love the outfit and your blog> I agree. Chains help everything. I love layered necklaces.
Those rain boots are bad to the ass, just how i like them. I would totally rock that ensemble…even the cutesy umbrella. Yup yup!
Good luck with the tat!
LOVE love love the umbrella in that photo, I’ve always wanted a cute girly umbrella. See . . . I’m from Seattle where it’s like how it is down there ALL the time! Ha ha
Have a great weekend!
I don’t think umbrellas get any more wicked awesome than this one!
Tattoos rule. What are you getting? I have a few and there will be more. Oh yes, there will be more!
Happy freaking Friday!
That is an awesome umbrella!! and I love the shirt and bracelet.
Uhm, those boots!? HELLO, LOVERS!
Dude, I’m sorry about the weather. I think there has been some type of mixup and Southern Louisiana got your Southern Cali weather… don’t worry, I’m treating it like a lady.
🙂
When are you getting your phone back so I can text you again?! I’ve had so many different moments when I wanted to send you a text in the last few days and then I’m like “Womp womp womp” literally… I make that sound when I can’t talk to you RIGHT when I want to. It’s unhealthy.
this rain has been BONKERS!!!
and i LOVE those boots!
and wouldn’t you know that i ordered 2 raincoats from rue la la a few weeks ago and they are set to be delivered MONDAY, after all this rain is supposed to be gone. D’OH!
hope you have a great weekend, and can’t wait to see the tattoooooooo pics! 🙂
I love it all!!! Happy Friday!

Screw this rain! We are on the way to Tahoe today, so at least we are going to be in the snow!
Love that umbrella. And the whole outfit. And you!!
Can’t wait to see a tattoo vlog. I seriously don’t know if I can handle it. Blood and guts? No biggie. Tattoo? I’m scared. (And that would be the reason I don’t have any!)
LOVE the outfit.
And you. And your writing. You kill me!
I need those boots!
Good luck tomorrow! Can’t wait to see your tattoo!!
I’m with you…OVER it already. Especially the really cute frizzy hair I get!
Oh BTW, Love the boots you were gonna wear. Fingers crossed this rain finally stops!
Have a great weekend off!
Wow, you’re too cute! I loved reading your last couple of entries!! Seriously, if I had the money to buy cute little outfits for every event (like the rain- im in SoCal too!), I would want you to be my personal shopper. Haha.
Love the look…seriously hot! Oh I know Im in San Diego and we are still being hit with hail, just not all that crazy wind! Nuts huh? My poor palm trees..but ahhh nice change!!!
This weather is like WHOA, right?! It is a nice change though! And yay for your tattoo! Can’t wait to see it! Have a great weekend love XOXO
I’m TOTALLY inspired. Drooling over those fabulous boots!
Good luck with the tattoo, I wish I was brave enough! It cracks me up that you guys are finally having weather 🙂
