fashion emergencies, rolling with the homies and cheese

I woke up this morning feeling hungover. And when you didn’t have a drop of alcohol the night before, that’s clearly a problem.

You see, my weekend was filled with too much awesome. So much that I’m hungover from it.

(Or not enough water, whatever)

At first I was kinda sick and that was just not going to go well with my plans. I had to cancel dinner with Jessica Maria, who was in town, and Ang on Thursday night. And then missed Friday night’s Motion City Soundtrack show and one of the outside pockets of my Marc Jacobs bag got completely soaked on the outside and I had a three minute meltdown in the Target parking lot that included freaking out on Twitter and me being very close to tears because YOU JUST DON’T FUCK WITH A GIRL’S MARC JACOBS.

(Yeah, I’m talking to you, Target carts)

That night after a little bit of  a late start, I met up with an old acquaintance, who I haven’t seen in about four years. Personally, I’m a fan of spending my Friday night talking to a cute boy and eating soup until 2AM. So here’s to new friends!

The following day, I spent it mainly in bed with Barney Stinson and making out Christmas cards which was great until I got a paper cut on my lip. Who does that? Apparently, I do.

(I’m sorry if your Christmas card has blood on it)

But yesterday was a pretty fantastic way to round out an amazing weekend. I was just minding my own business when I see a tweet from Whitney (who has an excellent fashion blog you should check out) that Rodarte for Target was out and I was all HJASDLAK and ran out wearing leggings as pants and my ugly boots. All my clothes were in the laundry and it was CLEARLY A FASHION EMERGENCY so I made an exception to my rule.

Bad fashion for the sake of good fashion. Duh.

Here is my good fashion: crepe lace print dress and this cardigan. The cardigan (mine is grey) is amazing which is to be expected if you are familiar with Rodarte knits. AMAZING.

And then I found out that Brittany Murphy died. WAY HARSH, TAI. But seriously, I need to go buy Clueless and watch on repeat to honor her memory because it’s really one of the best movies ever. She was way too young to come to an end so soon.

My sister, Sara, is also home for the holidays so she was my partner in crime for the night. Then I got a text saying Jessica’s flight got canceled and Sarah flew in from Detroit for the night and we all hung out at the Motion City Soundtrack show! I haven’t really listened to them too much but after seeing them live, they definitely have a new fan.  After we got to run backstage and say hi to Jesse (Jessica’s husband) and it was pretty cool being able to meet one of the people I’ve read about for so long.

The show itself was fantastic even if it made me feel totally old. I use to be the one bouncing around in the crowd freaking out to my favorite songs and this time I was up in the side balcony checking everything out from up top. Regardless, I need more rock shows in my life.

There is only one way to wrap a night of good fashion, music and friends: GRILLED CHEESE. So the sister and I headed to The 44th Ward Dinner Party to grab a Belmont Harbor which is basically the sandwich dreams are made of. No joke, come to Chicago and I will take you there.

And the winner for most awesome weekend ever goes to me.

Everything about this post is why you, Tia and myself need to be in the same room at least once before we die.

Yay for a bad weekend turned good! I have no idea what Rodarte is so I feel kinda stupid, but I’m going to look it up now.

Oh and PS- I also got a paperclip on my lip doing cards. We must rock or something.

@Jessica, Rodarte is a fashion label. They did a line for Target for us poor folk who can’t afford the real thing!

And yes, we do rock :)

I love that dress and cardi and now I’m really bitchy that I’m BROKE because I REALLY want that dress. I also really want to fucking finally see NEW MOON, but being broke means you can’t do shit. Who would have guessed?!

@barbetti, or you’re broke and do it anyway like me. I don’t recommend it!

I spent my weekend snowed in, and subsequently in bed with Barney as well. I actually spend most nights with Barney. And Ted. And Marshall.

I’m a HIMYM slut…

I’m so glad my tweet about Rodarte made you as crazed as I was in general to get my hands on that collection!

Jamie Reply:

@Whitney, I knew it was coming up but wasn’t sure which day. And I freaked out. It was probably a hilarious sight. So thank you!

Classic food hangover. Watch out for it this holiday season…. too many jelly beans and Diet Coke for dinner always does it for me!

I am still in shock about Brittany Murphy. Loved in her Clueless, Uptown Girls and Just Married.

And no, you don’t mess with Marc Jacobs.
