q:

what is your default outfit?

a:

you know, the outfit you wear when you don't want to think about what to wear... or, say, on saturday mornings before you "get ready" for the day.


mine includes:

a band tee.

this sweatshirt
{seriously - it's the best sweatshirt ever. ask lara, ask jen, ask little miss. today, while i was sick and stuffy at work... with strangers yelling at me ALL DAY LONG... i looooonged to be in this sweatshirt. 'tis the season. don't be surprised if you catch me wearing this sweatshirt everytime you see me for the next 5 months.}


my american eagle {yeah, i just admitted that} boyfriend jeans - i have multiple pair of these.

flip flops.

pearl earrings.

oh - and probably a hat.
hats are MOST DEF made for saturdays... or days that don't start with a shower.

my bag.

MY bag... MINE... was feautured on gilt's sale today.

the one i've been eyeing for a year now...
and the one i've almost bought 14 times...
and the one i told my mom to buy in my honor {with my life insurance policy} if i suddenly die...


marked down from $430 to $218...

and, while i was away from my desk this morning, the rest of the marc jacobs-loving women with excellent taste bought them all up. ALL SOLD OUT!

i die.

speaking of equations...


i work in an engineering office, right? i'm the non-engineer in the engineering office.

sometimes i hear funny things coming from the environmental engineers about being green... saving the planet, yada yada yada.

sometimes i hear funny things from the transportation engineers about idiots who don't know how to read a road sign, or drive properly, yada yada yada.

but i just overheard a funny thing from a water resource engineer that made me laugh a little:

"it's trigonometry, people. it's not that hard!"

makes me want to reply with "it's a person... talk to it. it's not that hard!"

here's an equation.

jon & kate + 8 - jon = kate + 8 (+ 1/4 jon) = sensationalism in television.


go figure... it's suddenly all about kate. with just a dose of the occassional jon... lucky guy.

they've officially been booted from the dvr queue. i can't imagine there's anyone left on this planet that is still entertained by this hot mess {in all her bad hair and head-to-toe anne taylor glory}.

mine, all mine.

remember this nice dress?

and remember this nice friend?


the nice friend bought the nice dress.

...sadly, it didn't fit a very important area on her bod...

and nice friend couldn't stomach the idea of denying the dress of a good home {my bod} so she gave it to meeeeeeee!

{i told her she could tell me how pretty i am anytime she sees me in it. it's the least i can do.}

More Eckel photos

Hi again, we're back from London!
We got home super late last night, so we're just about falling asleep at work today.
Phew.

Ok, so i thought i should post some more Eckel pictures here, since he'll be joining us real soon, and i often refer people to this blog for pictures and info about him.
So here, some random Eckel goodness for you on this cold, Copenhagen monday.

Oh, and remember that he'll be at the shop this friday, the 2nd of October* , to talk to anyone interested in getting tattooed, so drop by after 1pm and have a talk with him!











* It's October this week? Fuck!

boise, in a day.

when really fun things happen among college roommates, we call it "wahoo weekend". consider this "wahoo weekend 2009 - 2.0"

who:
andi {and olive}
aubry

what:
aubry and andi spontaneously road trip and concert crash the jason mraz show with cindy.

where:
boise, idaho

when:
sept. 25-27, 2009

why:
because we're cool like that.
{and serious suckers for college nostalgia... and jason mraz.}

the day began at the farmer's market... and shopping downtown.

baby olive was a super-trooper. just like her mom, she'd pass up nap time for a solid day of shopping.

she's happy because we're shopping. and, just like me.. the act of spending money makes her smile.



and, of course, no andi-aubry trip would be complete without a taste of the local cupcake-ry. sadly, there was lots of room for improvement.

previous adventures seen here and here.



we spied a local paper with mr. a-z's face on the cover. slightly embarassed, we made a few attempts at a self portrait of the four of us. didn't work so well...



thankfully {but still slightly embarassed}, strangers offered to take our picture.


here's the difference between red rocks and the idaho center:

1. red rocks: pre-sale ticket day - we get seats in row 41.
{pin-head size jason}
2. idaho center: three days before the show, row 16.
{close encounter jason}


thankfully... ideally... perfectly... the boise show was ENTIRELY different than the denver show. i mean, if i'm going to see him twice in a week... traveling 300 miles in both directions... the least he can do is give me two different mind-blowing shows. thanks, j-dawg sassy slacks.

and, the best part of the night came when he thanked "the beautiful people of utah" for coming to the show.

how'd he know? he must read my blog...

two places at once.

andi. cindy. {robin}. aubry.

-----------------

this weekend while the west coasters were at the jason mraz concert, robin was running the sweaty, yet still surprisingly swanky half marathon in the hamptons...

what she didn't know, was -

she was secretly at the jason mraz concert, too. an amazing feat.




in case you don't remember, robin, here's how the night went down:

it started here... on the frederiksen's front porch.



you sat in the front. cup holder.



and then we went to dinner at costa vida. i carried you in my back pocket.


i think you ordered a sweet pork enchilada. hot sauce. black beans. no pico.


yumm, right?



you sat on the shanty blanket. kept it warm.


would you believe me if i told you we bought you your very own seat?




we enjoyed the opening act. g. love was a little skeezy, though. skinny slimy.



i'll have you know i carried you everywhere i went.

i held your head-on-a-paint-stick in my hands {almost} the entire time. i held on tight... especially during all of our favorite songs.

even grown ups can be little girls.


after this, we threw pillows and talked about boys and braided hair and ate bon bons.

Fresh Tattoo Art - Locating Galleries With Good, New Tattoos

Has all of the fresh tattoo art been taken and dragged off of the internet? It sure seems that way, because it's becoming increasingly difficult to find any galleries with good, new tattoos. While it might seem like a never ending ocean full of generic tattoos, the good artwork is still out there. I will give you a fantastic way to get a hold of the fresh tattoo art you are after.

When you start looking for things on the internet, what do you use? 95% of men and women will say "search engines". Yes, it's true that they are the one tool that everybody uses to find hat they want. It's just that these are the very tools which are leading all of us to so many low end galleries that don't have fresh tattoo art. All you get now is this gigantic, random list of low end websites and they are all stuffed full of generic, cookie cutter designs. To top it off, a majority of their inventory is over eleven years old!

That's as far away from fresh tattoo art as you can get. The sad part is that many people think this is all there is to choose from and end up settling on one of those generic designs. Instead of searching on to find the fresh tattoo art, they simply settle on something they don't even 100% like. I don't know about you, but I don't think any sane person should "settle" on tattoos. Your skin is too precious and it is a design that will be inked somewhere on your body for a very long time.

Now that we have that out of the way, let's concentrate on a subject that is a bit more upbeat. You want to find fresh tattoo art, so what can you use to get to the galleries that have it? Well, the easiest and best way to accomplish this would be to dive into the larger internet forums. I know, it doesn't sound like much of a plan, but it is. You see ,the large forums of the web are absolutely perfect for getting a good peek at where folks all over the world are uncovering fresh tattoo art.

You can find so many quality tattoos and galleries this way, because you will find that people pots link after link to the wonder places they have somehow found. Fresh tattoo art is out there for the taking and forums have your path right to many of them. It's a small detour and it's a detour that can lead you to the right place.

When you are looking for fresh tattoo art, please don't make a rushed decision and settle on something that you are not 100% sure about.

can you tell how great this really is?

it doesn't look like much. this lame mannequin photo doesn't do this top justice. but let me ASSURE you - this is the greatest top to come from anthropologie in a long long long time.


even better?

they didn't have my size at the anthro here in slc... but i found it on sale in denver {among many other great things}... resulting in the "aubry does anthro" lalapolooza shopping spree.

{robin - think "wahoo weekend 2001" - yeah, it was that good.}

oy.

someone please tell me...

HOW HOW HOW i can transform my {relatively} wall-less living room into something as magical as this...


might help if i buy one of everything seen here.

this woman is a genius! i'm ready to scrap it all and start over in the house.

Cool Tattoos For Girls - Hunting For Good Designs

I have no doubt that you are excited to find some of the cool tattoos for girls that the web has to offer. Many women will quickly change their demeanor and become frustrated with the huge amount of generic artwork that is out there. I will tell you how to avoid this, as well as how to find tons of the cool tattoos for girls that you may have been bypassing.

Let's start things off by talking about why so many women (and men) and running into so many galleries with nothing but generic, cookie cutter designs. It all boils down to search engines, which we all use (95% of us) to find tattoo artwork online and you are probably using to find cool tattoos for girls. This would be fine if they actually showed you where the high quality artwork is, but they don't. It's usually a long list of low end galleries that make you sift through thousands of generic designs just to find one diamond in the rough. Most of the time, you will be lucky to find that "one", let alone a dozen cool tattoos for girls.

Since this happens so often, many women will give up on looking for cool tattoos for girls and will end up choosing something they don't even completely like. It's a shame that so many people will make an impulse decision like that and get something inked that they don't 100% like. This tattoo will be on your body for a very long time, so why wouldn't you want to take your time to find exactly what you want, no matter how long it takes?

With that said, there is a way to find a lot of the hidden artwork out there, which tends to be far better than a lot of the artwork you find through search engines. The way to do this is by using internet forums. They are fantastic community, which can easily be used to find out where so many other tattoo enthusiasts are locating great artwork. The bigger forums are always sizzling with past topics on this subject and you can pull up years and years worth of them to pin point cool tattoos for girls. It;s the best way to find the world on artwork out there that search engines just don't show you.

No matter where you ultimately end up looking for cool tattoos for girls, if you take you time ot find the perfect one, you will thank yourself in the long run.

q:

what is your biggest pet peeve?

a:

i have a few. not a lot. i can get along pretty well. but i have a few:


know-it-alls
failure to follow through with commitments
trash-talking at the expense of someone else's character
open cupboard doors, food in the sink, and an open toilet lid

sometimes...

...i am a genius.

a spontaneous genius. so much so that i'm helpless against acting upon my genius-hood. what a waste of genius-ness it would be not to do something about it.


andi and i went to the jason mraz concert last week in denver, right? a great trip. great music, great company, great shopping, great cupcakes, yada yada.

upon return, cindy {miss boise} posted a comment on my blog post about missing his upcoming concert in boise this weekend. at the same time, andi {miss denver} posed a question on her blog - "where should we see him next?"

then it struck me. we're going to boise.

and so began our email conversation:

aub: hey, andi - i downloaded that great k'naan ringtone. i love it.
and: perfect! i just bliggity blogged about our weekend. i want to go again.
aub: what if we roadtrip to boise to surprise cindy with a jason mraz lalapolooza weekend... wouldn't that be a dream?
and: that would be dreamy... hmmm
aub: just checked availability. still some rockin' good seats.
and: checking on flights.
aub: this could be amazing.
and: this could be really great.
aub: i know, right? i'm a freaking genius!
and: den - slc, arriving at 1 pm friday. slc - den, departing 7 pm sunday. it's on.

and just like that, great fun was born.

p.s. already scoped the cupcake shops in boise. the picking is slim, but i will find a great cuppycake.
