My bf said these linen beauties look like cuban drug dealer pants. Awesome. They are so comfortable and breathable, they will be my uniform for the long hot summer of bicycle riding and roadtrips… and drug dealing (April Fools!).

check out my bike

So sexy!
It took my bicycle fanatic photographer four tries before he remembered that the photo was supposed to be about my outfit, not the bike. I mean, both took me from errand-running during the day to a birthday party at night…

Ah, but there are some cool buttons and keyhole sleeves on this sweater!

miller high life champagne of beers

But I guess this photo is more about drinking what tasted like the Beer of Champagnes out of a champagne flute made out of the Champagne of Beers.
I guess there are more things to life than fashion.
….Go figger!
