Rock the Shamrock

I was three days short of being born on St Patrick's Day. For those of you who are bad with math, that means I became a year wiser yesterday. I always thought mom should have made me stay in a few more days, because how great would it to be to have your birthday fall on such a massive celebration?

I'm linking up with longdistanceloving for a post on St. Paddy's fashion. No top hats or large buckled belts in the collage below, but I did throw in a few touches of green and some adorable clover earrings.

I've got something blogtastic planned for Sunday... no green beer for me! I'll be hard at work in a secret location, and I hope to share some of the outcomes of this adventure with you soon!

Edged with Lace

It has taken me a ridiculous amount of time to do a collage post. I've been looking at other bloggers' collages with envy and finally decided it was time to set aside an hour and figure out Polyvore.*

*In all honesty, I had to do a collage because I ended up hating the photos I took of my own outfit to link up with longdistanceloving for a post on lace. I'm still blaming my recent photo hate on the weather here (especially the dirty snowbanks).

Typical me couldn't go all girly with the lace theme, but the pink clutch and watch added a bit of feminine touch, and I'm in love with the adorable bow earrings. Not sure what's up with the creepy bunny in the corner (she came with the template and will probably re-appear in my dreams tonight).
