About Me

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
I love gerbera daisies. 20something laid back gal with an Irish-Catholic background and a thirst for beer and whiskey. Above are the Irish rioting in Philly, I aim to do my best to uphold the tradition. This is the story of my Philadelphia takeover.

But the Problem My Dear is simple: I'd Want to Keep the Clothes for Myself


I am exhausted. I've been running all over God's green earth today and these little legs don't feel like running any more.
Today I made serious progress on my outfits for the holiday gift guide. I am putting together (I am the stylist!) a full men's and a full women's outfit. I am having a good time doing it but I am also tired.
The lady's outfit is so lovely, I wish I could have all the pieces but alas and alak I do not have the money to buy them nor do these locally owned boutiques have the money to give me the things I'm borrowing (dang). The yellow dress is just superb and the earrings are made by this great local jeweler. I want a pair so badly but they are almost $60! I think I can make some of my own though. I still need to find a victorian turtleneck and some leggings before I'll feel like the outfit is close to complete. I know where to find some opera gloves tomorrow, I'm looking forward to exploring the Antiquarium!
The men's outfit is so perfectly hipster without being obnoxious. It's still pulled together and sleek looking without being precocious. There's an updated version of a fedora, a great handmade shirt by a local artist and the best dark wash straight leg jeans invovled. I still have some accessories to get for him but it's almost done.
So I wonder how I land a job as a "personal stylist?"
