When you look at my life through the lens of extremely hipster phone photography shots and edits...it seems a lot more free time based than it actually is. This installment of blurting my Instagram life comes courtesy of newly rekindled Polaroid passion, and love of all things photographic in general. I got a bunch of really cool apps for my phone, hence the pictures of my face...which isn't a common thing.

Ready for Business

Transactions today has me all sobered down and dressed up for a businesslike affair. I've got on the most basic of basic black dresses, with the tiniest twist at the asymmetrical neckline. It's about two sizes too big so I go ahead and belt it to nip in the waist. Throw on a blazer and you're ready Freddy

The weekend was pretty wild! Drove up for an edm show and hung out with my friends. Met Dada Life...which was pretty cool. Now school is back and my memory keeps slipping and my focus is nearly shot but eh, it's alright I guess. Continuing in my renewed Polaroid obsession, I did a bunch of test shots on my 600 and my 420. They both work beautifully! Now all I need is for my Onestep SX-70 to come in along with that Time Zero film I bought for it. How's everyone else's life going?

Be still my heart: Riding boots for a wide-calf girl

Being a plus size lady with big calves, but "normal" size ankles and knees makes finding tall boots - that is stylish, good quality boots - quite a trail. Right now, riding boots are all the rave and you know, I need them in my life.

I had found my perfect pair of boots, the Vince Camuto Kabo in Rich Cocoa, but as luck would have it, they were not offered for my big calves. I tried to move on and find another pair of riding boots in a cognac color, but no dice. The Kabo had made a lasting impact.

I found the wide calf version at Camuto's website and at Bloomingdale's website. These puppies are a hefty price, $239, for this poor college student. So, again I tried to forget about them, but I could not - I had found THE ONE. Well, I bought them for a sale price of $195 (with free shipping) because sometimes good things happen to broke fashionistas. Ladies and gets, I present to you the perfect pair of riding boots:



Simple, elegant, beaux. Notice the rich cognac color, the tasteful gold buckles, and those darken round toes.  The circumference of these boots according to the VC website is 40.64 cm, or 16 inches. My calves are 15.7 inches and they do fit a bit tight, but comfortable even with jeans. 

Jeans and scarf - F21
blazer and button -thrifted
earings -Kenneth Cole
Ring - asos

Well my past week/weekend/day has been pretty exciting! My family came to visit me and we had a grand ole time. Went to Atlantic City for a bit, ate food at this 50's theme restaurant, bought a tv! I got my 11th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver pen today (SO excited!) and I ate awesome bibimbap for dinner! All in all things are going decently, despite the ridiculous persistant headache. My pills are working, and sleeping with this CPAP isn't half bad. How's everyone's life going recently?

-Also, as always, my instagram is @nsq89 so feel free to folloooowwww!
