So, last night something amazing happened! A band came to Anchorage Alaska. A good band! Perhaps this doesn't sound very exciting to most of you, but bands never come to Alaska. Like. NEVER. I'm not kidding. It's amazing we even have any music scene whatsoever. We make do with our local bands though.
So, anyway, I got to go to a sold out Cold War Kids show! It was incredible. I went with my good friend Rebecca,and we had a blast. Good beer, better music, and walking through the crowd with people whispering, "is that Zooey Deschanel?" "That girl looks just like Zooey Deschanel!" Haha! It was funny too, it was like all the hipster cool kids all appeared out of nowhere. I wonder where they all hibernate when the Cold War Kids aren't in town. I'm guessing coffee shops? I'm a shut-in, so I never know where people hang out. I'm slowly figuring out the cool places to go in this hometown of mine.
More exciting things! I got this dress in the mail yesterday from Mel! I was so excited that I immediately put it on and then decided I just had to wear it to the Cold War Kids show. I love the cute ruffles on the front! Looking at how I styled it next to Mel I think I ended up styling it very similarly to her! Black boots, Black nylons, belted. Haha. I can't wait to see how the other girls style this dress!
49 musings:
i love that dress! i saw it on mel but i didn't realize it was a dress. i thought it was a shirt and blouse. anyways...you look adorable! i love this blogger clothing swap you guys are doing. so fun!
That necklace! I am positively seething with jealousy! The only way it could be better is if it were the Millennium Falcon.
Holy crap. That necklace is awesome. I'm with you on the nerdiness. When I was a kid my mom sewed me a Klingon costume for my Cabbage Patch Kid.
I love the outfit! I also LOVE the Cold War Kids and I got to see them when they opened up for Death Cab at Gonzaga last spring!!!! I could listen to Cowards and Robbers for hours on end.
That dress is so cute! I thought it was a skirt and shirt at first. Love it! And I love the Star Trek necklace. I've never been to a convention but I have seen the show more than once :) Have a great weekend!

Oh my gosh!!! I love how you styled that dress! Ugh, this whole project is so amazing. I'm so excited for continued swapping! I'm mailing out your dress next to Mel! :) And I'm listening to Cold War Kids right now.. great song!!
Love Cold War Kids and I would also like to be mistaken for Zooey Deschanel...but that will never happen for me. ;)
The dress is great and I like the mixed plaids you did. Cool boots too.
i love cold war kids! i saw them when they opened at the death cab concert i went to. they were a pretty good live show. and even though i'm not a star trek fan personally (i'm more of a star wars kind of girl), you having that necklace made me love you even more. not in a creepy way, but in a favorite blogger way, of course.
I love the dress Mel sent you! I also love how you styled it.
Secondly, I am insanely jealous of your Star Trek Enterprise necklace! I too, am a nerd and quite OK with it!
you look great! that necklace is ga-ga-gah gorgeous!
first of all, SO of you being compared to Zooey. you're both so gorgeous.
second, I actually love the plaid on plaid! very cool.
You both look great in the dress! The delightful dozen idea was great!

OH MY GOD that necklace aahahhaaa :DDD I can't express my feelings towards it!!!
And I SO know the feeling about bands never coming to play where you live, it feels like Finland is on the edge of the world sometimes..

Sound and Fashion

As soon as I read the title of this post, I had to click over to iTunes and hit play on Cold War Kids! Lucky you for getting to see them live!
And I love how you styled this dress! It's super cute. Can't wait to see what all you ladies come up with next.
Lucky you! I love Cold War Kids!
Very cute styling of the dress, too.

I love that you threw a plaid shirt on it, I would never have thought of pairing two plaids together, very cute.. I love this swap idea!
y'all did style it pretty similarly when you look at the details but they just look so different to me overall. i guess a lot of it is in the way you carry yourself in the oufit? very fun.
love the cold war kids, they really rock out in concert so I'm glad you got to go. it is funny when you go to events around your home town and all of the sudden find the cool kids you've be waiting for all of these years, I've experienced the same thing ;)
cute dress
I am a complete sci fi geek, and I am in LOVE with that necklace. I'll be on the look out for one!!! I used to want to be Deanna Troi!! haha Love how you styled the dress too!
LOVE this plaid on plaid look.
Fab :)

I love the plaid on plaid, too. And that dress is such the cutest! xo
Yeah, music up there is a bit....um bare.=) I am having seeing quite a few postings from friends on facebook over the last year about some bands actually going up there. Plus on being a nerd....how badly mauled where you? If you went to a Star Trek Convention.....you had to be.=) Orignal and cute necklace though.
Oh lucky! I LOVE Cold War Kids! I was trying to figure out where I'd seen that dress before. haha. This Delightful Dozen is gonna be rockin'.
lookbook? i definatly recognise you from somewhere.
They are a fab band, so glad you had fun ! Such a lovely outft too!
I love how I just wrote out a whole comment and then Blogspot was like, "ERROR. No can do!"
Maybe some day if I lose another 30 pounds we will be able to swap some clothing. At least skirts. I love that dress so much. My boobies would never ever fit in it. I was getting really frustrated thrifting yesterday because my boobs fit into nothing. Lame.
PS: The USS Enterprise kicks the Millenium Falcon hands down. I would say I'm a nerd for having seen Star Trek in the theatre 6 times...but I cannot say that I have a Star Trek wardrobe in my house though... ;)
I LOVE your dress, it is soo cute, you look amazing! I'm happy I stumbled upon your blog :) I'll be back for sure!
I love that dress so much!! It's absolutely fabulous! :)
oohh Jealous,

I'm so enjoying the "delightful dozen" so far =)
You both look ridiculously cute! The dress is a delight!
I love kensie dresses. I wait until they are on super clearance and then pounce.
