In stark contrast to the other day's field of yellow flowers, today's a bit rainy and gray. And in all honesty, I kind of prefer days like this. Gives you an excuse to stay inside, make some cookies, eat some soup and leisurely watch movies (while simultaneously working at the same time). And that is exactly what I intend to do today.

I know I promised an apartment post, but this view from my (bay!) windows will have to do in the interim as I'm STILL organizing the closet.

Hope you're all having a relaxing Sunday!

Hey guys! Yes, I am alive. Alive and well, albeit a bit sleep deprived from moving at odd hours of the night.

To make up for my absence, I do have some exciting news to share. ModCloth has launched a Spring Fever Blogger Challenge and yours truly has been invited to join. Each Monday of this month, I'll be posting a different item from their new Spring collection to be showcased alongside some other lovely ladies (Oh hey, Keiko, Tieka, Aya!) on the ModCloth blog with you readers to vote on your favorite of the four!

And to kick things off, I give you this darling Ivory Symphony Skirt, tiered and everything! I wanted to play with the proportions of the mini skirt and wear a looser fitting kick-back sweater and some cage heels, which ending up being perfect for a slightly overcast day in the Bay Area.

Want to vote? Want to check out the other ladies? Want me to stop asking rhetorical questions? OK, fine, fine, but before I go, if you want to vote for your favorite look, go here.

Yep. This dress is getting a lot of mileage, wouldn't you agree? I just love seeing it so many ways -- dress, top and my favorite, Ms. Elizabeth's super cute little number that I might have to steal. Soon.

Big thanks to ModCloth for The Dynamite Dress and do be sure to check out the other fashionably lovely bloggers here on Facebook.

Now, it's time for me to pack my life into garbage bags and move. Again. I'm like a nomad these days. A nomad with 13 plus bags of clothes and shoes to carry. On the upside, I love my new apartment and couldn't have done it without the great help from you, dear readers. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

In light of yesterday's post about the short comings (ha) of short dresses, I decided to have a casual Friday. Skinny jeans. Loose blouse. Small heels. It fit the bill for a slightly more laid back day at work. As for tomorrow, I'm thinking the same thing will be in order as I'll be cruising around the city, apartment hunting. I think I pretty much have my neighborhoods narrowed down so thanks again for all the wonderful suggestions! It helped tremendously!

Bay windows, here I come!

Whew, this week has been packed with little dresses and body con fits, huh? Makes me want to jump into bed in some of my laziest, coziest and comfiest layers and eat ice cream. Er, or perhaps it should make me want to do the opposite? Not sure. Actually, who am I kidding? I want ice cream. Right now.

Ah, my first Delightful Dozen post. Some of you may remember when I first blogged about joining up with 11 lovely ladies for a nation-wide clothing swap. Yeah, then I moved and promptly slacked at staying in the loop (sorry, ladies! I swear, I'm alive. Promise!) And to prove that I am indeed alive and kicking (in high heels nonetheless) here's the official Delightful Dozen dress, courtesy of ModCloth.

This tiered summer dress, better known as The Dynamite Dress, has the prettiest digital/floral/starburst/tribal/I don't know what print in some awesome shades of coral and pink. It's a tad short, yes, which I awkwardly dealt with on a windy photo session, but I dig it just the same.

Want to see how the other ladies style it up? Check back on Friday for ModCloth's round up blog post.

And on an unrelated note, is anyone else planning on heading to the first Fashion Meets Tech event in San Francisco tomorrow? It's being held in downtown SF to bring together like-minded folk in the fashion and technology realms. Interested? Shoot me an e-mail, let's chat! I'd love to see you there!

Coffee shop mode with a braid! And loving my new headphones. Now, no one ever again has to wonder whether or not I'm listening to music (ear buds always get covered by my hair). Outfit post to come. Loving this Sunday! Super productive!

Truth be told, I don't know why I don't do more weekend posts. More often than not, I have way more time to get ready and actually feel bright eyed for photos after sleeping in a bit. This particular dress I got at a new vintage haunt of mine, Held Over in San Fran on Haight. The whole secretary cut of it with a wide brim panama hat feels oh so right for a day of shopping on Market Street and driving on 101 with both windows downnnnnn…

And check out the necklace guys. Made out of recycled bullet shells, how cool is that? I was contacted a while back by LA-based Courtney of Dolly and Boy jewelry, who was so sweet to send me this feather necklace. Do check out her stuff, there's a ship helm charm that I'm eyeing right now....

I'm going to keep this short and sweet as I'm heading out the door to do some quick and specific item shopping right after this post: Nothing says sunny, happy California like a colorful mosaic, right? Right. Today was full of 70 + degree weather, some productivity and lots of hint of lime chips that I promptly starting eating at um, 10:30 this morning and couldn't stop.

Happy Thursday everyone!

So after stalking this wool, short sleeve beauty of a coat for weeks on ModCloth, I can finally call it mine! Aptly called the Editor in Chic Coat, my only regret is that I didn't get it earlier as spring weather has comfortably set in, leaving me in a typical dilemma of mine: not appropriately dressing for the weather.

Oh well. Good thing it has short sleeves, right? I'm thinking maybe Editor in Chic dress soon, eh?

P.S. Happy Saint Patty's Day!

Does anyone else just want to steal this entire look from Jen of Jenloveskev. She's nailed it, yet again. I knew I should have gotten that lace body con dress from American Apparel yesterday!

Looks like I know where I'm going after work today.

Happy Monday, everyone!

I went to San Fran yesterday to grab lunch with a friend and check out some new releases at Amoeba. There's something about hanging out on Haight Street that always puts me in a good mood. I think it's the characters there. And the fact that drugs are offered on every corner, while the cops concern themselves more with the shoddy parking jobs. Gotta love California.

Here's my entirely jean outfit with (yes!) clogs. A few weekends ago I posted about a collection of Jeffrey Campbell shoes I was deciding between on Shopbop. Well I had a complete change of heart and after seeing this cover photo of Alexa Chung, I had to have a pair.

Best part? They're considerably lightweight and have awesome arch support. I was fine walking around all day (and driving in traffic) in them.

Hope you're all having a great Sunday! I'm off to run some errands in the sun and hopefully stuff my face with chips and dip later.

So while I have a few minutes to spare this morning, looking out at some grey skies and rain, I'm dreaming of springggg.

Back in Reno, spring is a cruel, cruel mistress, showing up one day, promising blue skies and birds chirping, the next? Snow, random hail storms and wind gusts strong enough to knock you over. I've always felt a little deprived of spring growing up so I'm happy to have a California one this time around. I already have jean cut-off shorts, loose floral tanks and sun hats in mind. And some good quality time in Golden Gate Park. Yes.

What are you guys looking forward to wearing this spring? Care to enter it in Weardrobe's Spring Break Crew contest? Winner receives over $100 worth of new items from PacSun's spring line and a spot in the Spring Break Crew with myself and these lovely ladies: Erin of Calivintage, Jen of Jenloveskev, Indiana of Adored Austin, Jennie of Going West, Julie of Orchid Grey, Mel of Idée Géniale, Sushi of Le Blog de Sushi and Nicole of Gary Pepper Vintage.

Now rain go away, please!

To the eight-year old kid living upstairs from me, please, please, please stop screaming. I am this close to going up there and telling you that Santa doesn't exist.

Go ahead, kid. Try me.

On a lighter, I-want-to-put-out-positive-vibes-into-the-universe note, today was beautiful. Warm, clear, no rain and the light at 4 this afternoon was perfect. Suz and I strolled around during a break at work and stumbled upon this post office. The faded mint green and rust pink colors were too tasty to pass up.

And might I just add, I have been in love with this particular jacket for quite some time now. I remember spotting it at ModCloth around Christmas time, but put it on the back burner in the spirit of Christmas and already over-charged credit cards. It arrived yesterday at work and I haven't really pulled it off since! It's a lightweight leather/suede combo and buttery to the touch! And don't get me started on that drape. I die.

Oh, the yellow lips you ask? No, no neon collagen injections for me. The lovely folks at Lulu Guinness sent me this cute, "Lips" clutch. How fun, right?

P.S. OK, OK. I won't go burst that kid's bubble about Santa. But if he tries this again at 6 a.m., I can't be held responsible for early morning grogginess.

Apologies for the horribly emo post yesterday. I was in a funk (because we're human after all) and really appreciate the kind words you all had to offer. Sometimes, you just don't feel like facing the day and doing an outfit post, ya feel me? Of course you do.

That said, I was determined to put a smile on and I actually amazed myself while taking these photos today. Flashback several months ago to when This Time Tomorrow was still starting up and I was lurking for somewhat deserted areas to take outfit photos, afraid someone would see and consequently judge/laugh/point/cat call. While I'm sure I still get judged, laughed and pointed at and god knows, there will always be some dude to cat call you, today I took up the sidewalk (moving out of the way of course for people passing by), with no concern for what others thought.

Oh, how I love little triumphs.

Oh, and how I'm loving my nude tones lately. Breath of fresh air, if you ask me.

Happy Tuesday!

Tonight's the night. Alice in Wonderland at midnight. Hence the coffee later in the evening to stay awake. My barista whipped up a smiley face cappuccino for me, only to grin a la the Cheshire Cat when he saw us taking photos of his work. I love little moments like that, when you can sorta make someone's day by doing something so simple.

Now if you'll excuse me, I don't want to be late.

I noticed Katy's post about her go-to outfit the other day and realized, HEY, that's my go-to outfit, too! So in the spirit of jumping on bandwagons here, I give you, my go-to, I-have-to-move-my-entire-closet-in-one-night-to-another-part-of-the-bay-area outfit -- skinny jeans, a blazer (surprise, surprise), a t-shirt, heels and a scarf .

On another note, yes, we have green manequins that hang out around the office. And yes, they are split in half. Don't ask me why. They just are.

On another note, who else is going to see Alice in Wonderland tomorrow night, midnight showing?!? I can hardly wait! Just seeing these trailers pop up around the internet is making me a giddy girl, as evidenced in some of the above goofy photos.

P.S. If you all have a few moments to spare, please vote for my friend Lucrecia of Fashion is Poison. She's currently in the running for Pepsi's Refresh Project, her project being to open an online fashion boutique with the proceeds going toward cancer research.

And the blazer collection continues. To the point I think I may have a problem. Here's the convo Suz and I had in Zara, minutes before the purchase of this khaki beauty:

Me: I dunno. Maybe I have too many blazers?
Suz: OK. How many colors do you have?
Me: A couple black ones, a navy one, a pink one, a white one… (counting on my fingers while juggling a pile of clothes)
Suz: And now a khaki one?
Me: And now a khaki one.
Suz: You don't have a grey one. You're fine. Get it. (As she walks away mid sentence, attracted by a pretty dress nearby.)

And that folks, is how I spent too much money (and too much time staring off into space while counting on my fingers in the middle of Zara) this weekend. For the sake of my pocketbook and pride, I hope boyfriend blazers don't go WAY out of style within the next couple of years. I think I may need to start living in them.

If that story didn't entertain you (let's face it, it probably didn't), check out my friend Jordan's post about his love of tea and Lady Gaga. Yes. All in the same post. Because why not?

NO TIGHTS TODAY! WOOHOOO!

If you couldn't tell, mama needs a new pair of shoes. And yes, she's shopping in bed. There's something about being off your feet that just makes you want to adorn them with something that more than likely hurts then, right?

What I love about wedges (the obvious theme above) is that they support more of your foot and if walking around San Fran, they make walking up Masonic Street a piece of cake. (Heck, I even ran up that hill, which in hindsight, wasn't a good idea when carrying bags of clothes, but I digress.) Plus, I think most of these will transition nicely into spring, with cute floral dress combos and cropped trousers.

I'm contemplating getting one of the above Jeffrey Campbells, available now at Shopbop, a lovely new sponsor of This Time Tomorrow. Do you guys have a favorite? Let's hear it! The polls are open now!

1.) Pilgrim Snip Toe Booties, $169.40
2.) Acme Lace Up Boots with Removable Kiltie, $190
3.) Potion Ankle Boots, $165
4.) Montreal Perforated Suede Booties, $158
5.) Tick Wedge Booties, $200
6.) Tickle Open Toe Slashed Booties, $145

And just in case I haven't said it enough lately, I just want to thank each and everyone of you for reading! Your support and love amazes me everyday, to the point I have to pinch myself sometimes. Seriously. No one was supposed to read this blog besides my mom, and she admits to not even checking it that often. (It's OK, mom. No hard feelings.)

Plus, special thanks to Kait of the blog Kait Moss for the Haight Street store tips. So nice meeting you yesterday in SF! Hope your day of shopping was successful!

Happy Sunday, guys! Time for an afternoon run…

What better way to spend a Friday but with a (faux) fur vest, snuggled up as it rains outside for most of the day? Luckily, the sun peeped out for a bit, just in time for these photos.

Lately, I've been hitting a bit of a dry spot inspiration wise. My room is currently covered in hot mess dresses, blazers, jeans and god knows what else. (Ah, who am I kidding, it's usually like that.) Point is, I've been coming up short when putting outfits together. Nothing works. And I leave the apartment cranky and frustrated (partially due to lack of the a.m. caffeine dose).

Hopefully, after some fruitful (bhaha, yes, fruitful) thrifting and consequent cleansing of the closet this weekend in San Fran, I'll feel energized again.

Maybe.

Happy weekend, guys!

I think Suz changed my life when she introduced me to The HypeMachine. I've been bobbing my head all day long/borderline singing along while answering e-mails. Particularly to this little diddy.

Yes. Cubicle-mates (please tell me someone else has coined this term before), I'm singing. And I'm happy.

Now I just need Friday, you cruel mistress, to come along so I can scoot to this event.

Happy (almost) weekend!

Good news, folks! The days are getting longer! These photos were taken at roughly 5:45 ish, as the sun was setting. Dare I say it, but I think spring may just be around the corner…

(That said, let's hope I didn't just jinx us, huh?)

On a side note, I MUST get my bangs trimmed. Pronto. Any suggestions for great hairdressers in the Bay Area? I'm starting to feel like a shaggy dog. And not a cute shaggy dog.

Blazer: Power shoulder blazer, 80s Purple
Dress: Vintage floral tiered skirt worn as dress

For starters, thanks so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes!! "Wicked" was incredible, China Town was perfect for roaming at night and even darting between thrift stores on Haight in the rain was more than I could have asked for.

Great weekend.

As for today, I decided to slump around in some comfy layers and actually rather liked the color combo. Stark white, tan and black, with a dash of floral. Lovely. Perfect outfit for a rather rainy day.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make some tea.
