I've been gone for three months. Wow. I'm sorry. It's been super hectic but things have seemed to calm down for a while. I've missed you all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I'd come back with an outfit! This shirt is probably one of my most prized possessions. I picked it up at a boutique here called <a href="http://shopeurotrash.com/shop/">Eurotrash</a>, which focuses on european designers. This top is a Ted Baker neoprene top, and it's like origami. It's so well tailored and structured and all around beautiful that I instantly fell in love with it and used my very first paycheck on it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh yeah - guess what? I have a job! I'm a functioning member of society! Yay! I work at Hallmark. It's actually really great and gives me an outlet for my OCD since I just get to straighten things as well as some visual merchandising experience, which I'm hoping will come in handy in the future!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So much new stuff is going on! If you didn't notice, I'm blonde again. I'm guessing none of you that know me on here remember the last time I was blonde since it was the very beginning of the start of this blog. I missed it a lot though, so I went back. Hopefully, I can go silver soon. Another big thing is that I'm a model! Well, kind of. Anybody remember about a year ago when I posted about <a href="http://accoudrements.blogspot.com/2011/12/work-it.html">the fashion show at the VMFA</a> (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts)? Well, I'm going to be modeling in it! It's super exciting and I'm walking for a friend of mine who has this amazing style and concept for her design and it's going to be so great. I'm so excited. Besides those, I've mostly just been spending more time wandering my beautiful city and I think it's done me a lot of good. One of my professors has been getting me into nature a lot more and Richmond is one of those cities where you can get your dose of nature even in the very heart of the metropolis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also been trying to spend a lot more time with my friends, as they keep me sane. So for today's outfit photos you have the lovely Gwyneth to thank! I' m so sick of that stupid brick wall I usually pose in front of, so I'm hoping to make this a regular thing. Yesterday we - <a href="http://mariarowinska.bandcamp.com/">Maria</a>, Gwyneth, and myself - went to one of my favorites, Ipanema, for lunch and then went shopping at <a href="http://deepgroovevinyl.com/">Deep Groove</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/HalcyonVintage">Halcyon Vintage</a>, and <a href="http://rumorsrva.com/">Rumors</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
about a week ago I was involved in the <a href="http://www.48hourfilm.com/">48 Hour Film Project</a>. it's an international festival where film-making groups get together and write, shoot, and produce a short film in under 48 hours. you are assigned a genre, and all groups have to work the same character, line, and prop into their films. our character was Adam Nicholson, door-to-door salesman, our prop was a flashlight, and our line was "Why am I always first?".<br />
a friend asked me to join her group as the artistic director. I did the hair, makeup, and costume design for the film, as well as some of the cinematography! it was actually more fun than I had expected.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we were given the silent film genre, and naturally I was very excited. I got to transform our lead, a fantastic actress named Helena, into a flapper, all set to the music of one of my favorite singers, 1920s darling <a href="http://www.annettehanshaw.com/">Annette Hanshaw</a>. I went all out, giving her the full twenties makeover, complete with faux finger waves.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the films all screened this weekend at <a href="http://byrdtheatre.com/index.php">the Byrd</a>, a favorite Richmond hangout. the Byrd is this giant antique theater from 1928, and is almost unchanged in appearance. it's really beautiful inside, chandeliers and red-velvet curtains and all. it was an honor enough to have our little homemade film be shown there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this short was in no way a real serious competitor for the $5000 prize and film deal, but we had a lot of fun and I loved getting to show what I think I do best. and for that, here's our little film! I hope you all like it. if anything, I think it's really cute. enjoy!</div>

so here's something I haven't done in forever : a diy! today's diy is super simple, and honestly i love the outcome so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ombre has been big for a while now - from hair to clothing to anything in between. so many bloggers have done the ombre diy, and after lusting after an ombre shirt i decided i'd make one for about $3.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>you need:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a shirt in the color and style of your choosing; some fabric dye, a bucket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i personally used a thrifted white collared shirt and black rit dye. my advice to you upon doing this diy is to use a cotton shirt, as cotton retains dye much better than others. do not use polyester, or it will not be very strong. since I was going for gray, i didn't care that my shirt was polyester, but just be warned if you want a really contrasting, bold color it won't really work with polyester. trust me. if you want to do denim, rit dye makes dye specifically for denim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>instructions:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1)gather your dye, shirt, and a bucket. I used a white collared shirt that I got for $1 at a thrift store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaArOjIVy2QyV36b0qq8YA3LiCOAhRI_PPRINbe1gKnSeLLRFp1vtlM4pPsgiyeYLXO43mhYpVWj9Ac1He5rIAeNhHaNnaRBfiFHXJi0QyZDEzb2M3SmIr83IvSEc2DuSKDgJgsfEAAQ0B/s1600/IMG_9855.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="423" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaArOjIVy2QyV36b0qq8YA3LiCOAhRI_PPRINbe1gKnSeLLRFp1vtlM4pPsgiyeYLXO43mhYpVWj9Ac1He5rIAeNhHaNnaRBfiFHXJi0QyZDEzb2M3SmIr83IvSEc2DuSKDgJgsfEAAQ0B/s640/IMG_9855.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) mix your dye according to the directions - usually there will be something to mix it with like vinegar or salt and water, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) dip dye! you may be able to just put the base of the shirt in the bucket and let the dye seep upwards, but if you can't, just dip the part of the shirt you want dyed into the dye over and over. this way you can control how high you want the ombre to be. dip to the highest point you want it to be first, then gradually dip lower and lower, so the color is darker at the base and lighter upwards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4) rinse your shirt in cold water until the water runs clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5) hang dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6) wear it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">super simple stuff.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span>this picture isn't super good because it makes the whole ombre look really faded - it's more contrasting in person. because my favorite color is gray, I made a gray shirt. also the whole shirt is a little gray now because i accidentally without thinking put this shirt in the wash after dyeing it. oops. you should probably get it dry cleaned, hand wash, or just wait a little longer before washing it on cold. but I love gray so I don't care. I've already worn this shirt like six times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
go ombre all of your clothing now.</div>

it's time for another installment of follow friday! the most recent follow friday before this was last august... so, I decided to have another one! I'm never shy about declaring my love for this city and it's oh-so-chic people, so this installment is focused on some local blogging talent from right here in Richmond. so, today, here are three lovely local bloggers:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brian McDaniel of <a href="http://dirtyrichmond.tumblr.com/">Dirty Richmond</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brian is like Richmond fashion royalty. Dirty Richmond ("where the city is dirty but the people are not") is Richmond's own resident street style blog. it is the dream of all fashionistas and trendy peoples alike in Richmond to get on Dirty Richmond, and it is really a great street style blog. <span style="background-color: white;">he photographs people of all ages for Dirty Richmond, too! </span><span style="background-color: white;"> Brian also promotes a lot of local artists and designers as well as covering events. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Larissa Wisniewski of </span><a href="http://rvafashiongirl.blogspot.com/" style="background-color: white;">RVA Fashion Girl</a></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Larissa's blog is a newer one, only started very recently, but Larissa has been behind-the-scenes in all things pertaining to Richmond fashion. she is the creator of </span><a href="http://www.fromtherunwaytorva.com/" style="background-color: white;">From the Runway to RVA</a><span style="background-color: white;"> (currently under construction), co-created the RVA Fashion Bloggers group, and works at one of Richmond's favorite fashion boutiques, </span><a href="http://phoenixrichmond.com/" style="background-color: white;">Phoenix</a><span style="background-color: white;">. she's really done a lot of work, but it shows, as she has headed a part of the Richmond fashion movement, and that within itself is quite an accomplishment. and if that weren't enough, she's also pretty stylish to boot. not to mention she has these sunglasses I'm mad for. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Leney is, in short, a doll. she is a real sweetheart. on top of that, she makes and sells jewelry. her blog is less devoted to fashion than the other two and more devoted to life in general, but even in her non-fashion posts you can see her style seep through - and what a lovely bohemian style it is. her blog is a very happy one, and can instantly cheer you up. besides blogging, Leney runs <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/agirlnamedleney">an etsy</a>, writes and photographs for From the Runway to RVA, and works for herself at Leney Breeden Photography. </div>

i was getting awfully tired of that old brick wall, weren't you? so whilst out and about, we went to hunt for a new, interesting background. ...and that failed, so we walked over to the church of science and climbed up their stairs to reach these lovely red doors. pretty riveting, huh? </div>

anywho, it's pretty damn hot in richmond. i love it here so much i do but it is too hot and humid! the things i do for this city.. besides that, i'm not doing very much. although, i do have some posts and other fun things in store. i've been slacking off on the blogging, and while i was flipping through old posts a while back i realized how little was actually on here! i imagine that i document a lot more than i do. with that said, i'm going to start doing it more, especially since i have the time. not like i have a job or anything - although you can't say i haven't tried! no one wants to hire a kid. </div>

my poor litas. they've been worn to death. it's been almost a year since I bought them, I'm afraid every day the heel on the right one will break off and I'll fall to my fashionable death. and my mother will say I told you so. actually not really, I'd just be sad because I'd be out of a pair of shoes. any who, not much else has changed in the past month or so since I've posted. I'm a horrible blogger, I know. but I am on the infamous job hunt. I've applied everywhere - diners, starbucks, the works. now all that's left is to wait! I need a job to keep up my shopping addiction really. that, and college. and food. and other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been spending my time by having a lovely time with friends. so here are some pictures of that! I love how the rain on the car window looks like bokeh. and today's post will be featuring my lovely ladies Maria and Gwyneth:</div>

aren't they beauties? and i love gwyneth's fortune. some local baker makes these fantastic "black" fortune cookies with snappy or swearing messages. they're hilarious. first fridays is always fun (although if you're not from rva i guess you all don't really know what they are, maybe i'll do a post sometime later about them), but this time, due to listening to queen obnoxiously loud, eating chinese, and chatting in coffee shops, we didn't really get to first fridays! we were there, but we didn't really... attend? </div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">About two months back, the Art g40 Summit hit RVA. Hard. It was phenomenal. With it came the mural project, which has now been completed. Several murals now cover Richmond, and so Saturday, with a few spare hours, I decided to go mural hunting. Now, these are not all of the murals, they are the ones I had easier access to as I was downtown. But regardless of that, they are still amazing. Just know there are even more. This is less than half, but I'll be sure to find the rest!</span></div>

hello again! I'm sorry I've been away again. I spent a while down in Charleston, SC. with all my recent travel I'm beginning to feel like an international woman of mystery. anywho, not much else has been going on. this dress is pretty new, and it is so perfectly mod. I call it my Twiggy dress. this outfit is an homage to Twiggy, really. even my makeup - blue eyeshadow with thick lashes and thick eyeliner, and light orangey lipstick. you can't see my makeup very well, my apologies.</div>

The kickoff for RVA Fashion Week was today - a runway show was held displaying outfits created by certain vendors, showcasing their products. Some of the vendors include independent shops Saxon Shoes and Everything But Water, and chains Delia's, Buckle, Macy's, and Dillard's. Even though this is only the 4th RVA Fashion Week, you can really tell that the Richmond fashion scene is nothing but burgeoning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I won't be able to attend the rest of fashion week due to having to go to a wedding, and I am so sad that I will not be able to see the actual design portion of fashion week. Very sad. Sigh.</div>

Naturally when you go to any fashion event, the style of the attendees is just as good if not better than the sponsered styles. These are some of my favorites. Note Larissa Wisniewski, mastermind behind <a href="http://www.fromtherunwaytorva.com/">From the Runway to RVA </a>and one of the leaders of the RVA Fashion Bloggers, in the middle. I had the pleasure of meeting her in person for the first time today. The woman on the right was one of the stylists, but I thought her outfit was noteworthy. I really want to know where her shoes are from.</div>

Some outfits were better than others. It's still a small operation and there are plenty of kinks that need to be worked out, but I have a good feeling that RVA Fashion Week will grow into something fantastic.<br />
<br />
<b>For fellow Richmonders:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is still a whole week of Fashion Week left! Though I won't be able to attend, that doesn't mean you shouldn't go! Find the details <b><u><a href="http://www.rvafashionweek.com/">here</a></u></b>. </div>

I've spent the last few days in one of the cutest towns in the country: Staunton. I do love Staunton, it's so small but it's so cute. You can cover the whole town in a little over an hour. It's a bit touristy now, but still fun. Though it's so small, there's really plenty to do. </div>

1 - marilyn monroe's autobiography that i just ordered (it's wonderful!); 2 - enjoying my record-playing apparatus (it's a record player hooked up to a portable amp); 3 - a cozy night in and tea with friends; 4 - the addition of a purple chanel mascara to my beauty product hoard; 5 - watching candide on broadway on youtube - patti lupone is my hero; 6 - spending some quality time in the VCU art rooms - they're beautiful. the floors are covered in paint; 7 - a cute little red velvet cupcake i picked up yesterday. can you believe you can buy them in these little plastic bubbles at the drugstore now?<br />

this week has kind of sucked. my show is next week, and i'm not a big role or anything, but i've lost my voice. this past week i've had a little cold, but i currently have lost my voice. which, considering the show is in a few mere days, is bad. it's causing me to be pretty anxious but c'est la vie, right? we'll see how everything plays out. for now, it's chamomile tea and salt water gargles.<br />
hopefully after the show i can show you all some photos and maybe a few pictures of our incredible set!</div>

this is my winter uniform. well, at least as close to one as i have. although it is not very cold here, in the 50s and 60s most days. however, i'm absolutely in love with this coat, so even though it is a little heavy, i wear it nonstop. it is so classic. and i am a firm believer in the school of thought that says nothing is better for winter than bright colors! these gloves always give me a little happiness boost.</div>

yesterday <a href="http://meander-at-sea.tumblr.com/">carson</a> and i spent a lovely day downtown. naturally, i brought the new camera, and documented our walk through main street and monument avenue, two of the prettiest streets in richmond. did you know richmond has one of the highest concentrations of victorian architecture in the united states? more often than not, they're very colorful, too. </div>

so wednesday night I had the pleasure of attending a (free!) fashion event at the <a href="http://www.vmfa.state.va.us/Default.aspx">Virginia Museum of Fine Arts</a>. they have run some garment construction workshops, and this was similar to a graduate collection - one piece per designer, forty designers, all teenage. one of the designers was my friend Dylan, so naturally I had to go. that, and that fashion events are so rare in Richmond you simply must attend one whenever presented with the opportunity, right? They turned the atrium of the museum into a catwalk.</div>

in a Project Runway fashion, the budding designers were presented with a room full of supplies, mostly reclaimed/recycled. then they chose a piece in the museum to serve as the inspiration for their design. some pieces I thoroughly enjoyed. many others I thought were much too literal in terms of translating from the art to the garment.</div>

i went with <a href="http://meander-at-sea.tumblr.com/">Carson</a>, saw a few friends, and i even met a few nice people - fellow bloggers <a href="http://austinprime.tumblr.com/">Austin Prime</a> and <a href="http://agirlnamedleney.blogspot.com/">Leney</a>. Austin's boyfriend made my favorite dress, the first one, and Austin works for almost all of the major radio stations here in Richmond as a dj and he's only 18. pretty impressive. I only met Leney in passing but she has a lovely blog, you should go check it out. she also is a street style photographer for <a href="http://www.fromtherunwaytorva.com/">from the runway to rva</a>. i do my research. all in all it was a good show, though out of forty i really only loved three... less than 10%. ouch. but i learned something from that night...</div>

i had the pleasure of attending one of the best and most interesting installations i've ever seen a week or so ago. it's dubbed the 'stick stack show' and is the brainchild of Charleston-born artist <a href="http://www.jonathanbrilliant.com/">Jonathan Brilliant</a>. it's huge. it's so complex. it creates the most beautiful shadows. it took him about 12 hours a day everyday for two weeks to put it together. it is different everytime it moves from gallery to gallery since each gallery is a different layout, amount of space, height of ceilings, etc. it's amazingly big. in the <a href="http://visarts.org/">Richmond Visual Arts Center</a>, it takes up a very large room, and accompanying pieces of his are in and around the rooms/halls surrounding the main installation. here's the most amazing part:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the piece is made of 7" wooden coffee stirrers. also, there's zero glue. they're woven together.</div>

and here's a picture of my friend noma for scale and posterity. i told you it was huge. and it extends even more than ten feet higher than noma's head below. my camera just isn't big enough. you can walk under it, inside of it, it's astounding.</div>

it's truly a wonderful show. the rest of the pieces are also made out of coffee cup sleeves, lids, straws, you name it. it's a traveling show, too. it leaves late december - and much like set strike, they're having a strike for the installation come time for it to leave. i can't wait to go help break down this thing.. it's should be interesitng.</div>

**i thought this was saved as a draft. turns out it was published. that's what happens when I try to be productive in the wee hours of the night. that's also the reason for the lack of words on the original post.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
so this is one of my latest loves - a handmade pin-striped dress from rumors! i saw it and, like the dress in the previous post, fell in love with it instantly. $11. am i right? rumors has sold out a bit lately and become less of a thrift store and more of a boutique, but all the same i am simply mad for this dress.</div>

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
it instantaneously reminded me of the lovely lady lauren at <a href="http://bloomingleopold.blogspot.com/">blooming leopold vintage</a>. she created her own line alongside the vintage she sells, and her spring 2011 pieces are divine. this dress reminds me of her pieces so much. i think what does it is definitely the pinstripes - they are rampant among her line. we're cut from the same cloth in the sense that we both seem to adore stripes. especially those of the pin persuasion.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i apologize for my unexcused absence for a little over a month. it's just the beginning of the school year and everything. also within the first week of school my house got broken into, and for a week or two a few weeks ago i was pretty blech. about a guy or something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but, on the plus side, i've taken up those ballet classes i wanted to so badly (check that off my resolutions list!), and started working as a spanish tutor to make a little money. my litas and i are also very happy together; we've moved past the honeymoon stage but we're still just as in love! and as for today's little number is a beautiful rodarte for target dress i was so thrilled to find in my size at rumors for <u>$8</u>. sheer nude chiffon, light pink satin, and a light lace are just too beautiful. it's a wonderful take on a vintage slip. i should be resuming all my other blogging activities, <b>though i haven't read any blog material in more than a month. </b>sorry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
things are okay... things are okay. it's kind of weird. but for one thing, i'm happy to be back here!<br />

i am simply mad about my new litas. i've been scrubbing floors and cleaning houses for a few weeks to make the money, and i ordered them last week. they came today, just a few hours ago. solestruck never fails to crack me up with their packaging - 'the acceptance and use of this package constitutes an agreement that the holder will observe the rules and regulations of sporting such amazing shoes as issued by the solestruck better shoe initiative.'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i love getting mail - especially presents like shoes. they may not be real presents, since i bought them, but they are certainly presents from <a href="http://www.solestruck.com/">solestruck</a>. i also got some september issues of various magazines (vogue, elle, etc.) to flip through, and a lovely ivy wreath i won from <a href="http://www.hivenn.com/">hivenj</a>. and hot pink bubblewrap. oh goody!</div>

as you may or may not know, there was a bit of a hurricane ravaging the east coast on saturday. as fairly inland as i am, richmond was hit with an abundance of power outages and trees crashed into houses. luckily, my house is intact, although every house around it is damaged in someway. we're lucky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i had been neglectful (read: lazy) in the last week or so over here, but now, without wi-fi or power, i have taken up temporary residence at the local barnes and noble for a few hours. i can't do very much without power, just finish my assignments. sooo if you were wondering where the hell i am, i'm in the dark.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i hope everyone else here is safe, and international readers, feel no pity. it wasn't very much more than a bad storm, but because of the drought this summer there were many a tree easily uprooted. hopefully tomorrow i'll have power and warm showers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ta-ta until then.</div>

well my day(s) in town were really fun! i love being in the city, no matter how hot it is (and it is very, very hot), and seeing weston - and his new 'boy toy' as he put it - is always fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there's this great railroad bridge over Richmond's James River. we got bored, and it's such a beautiful location, and weston had a new Pentax DSLR. so naturally, we held an impromptu photo shoot! all of these are straight out of the camera, too.</div>

3 separate trains came while we were on the bridge. it's so very exciting, you have to run to the nearest concrete alcove and hide. the trains always see you and then they blow the whistles. i love it; it's become one of our favorite hangout spots. whenever trains pass it makes it even better. they're so loud and it's so nice.</div>

it was a horse, therefore i had to ride it. each of the alcoves (out of maybe eight?) have amazing grafitti. another thing i love about richmond - we have the most amazing street art.</div>

sorry for the miserable expression. i was in a bad mood. but you can see my new black hair real good. anyways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a rarity: i'm wearing this today! because i took the photos yesterday, and this is a scheduled post. take that, time space continuum. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is also probably my most expensive outfit. i convinced my mother into shopping at american apparel and made it out with a blouse, two pairs of trousers (they're too lovely and tapered to be 'pants'), and a knit skirt. american apparel, no doubt, has the best trousers, as the pleats and tapering are beautiful, and they all fit so well. but at $75 a pop there is no way i could buy them for myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
today i'm taking a trip into town to spend some time with lovely people get my learner's permit, get into shenanigans, and eat cuban food. not in that order.</div>
