Keeping It Real

Inspired by the daunting task of preparing to vend at DragonCon, I wanted to share a typical day in the life of Adrienne.

While I like to share cute fashion nuggets and jammin' good times with my readers, my everyday life is a bit less glamorous. I spend a good 10-12 hours a day working on our businesses, Twisted Heroes & Lola-Rocks Clothing. I work hard, but I love what I do. Here is a rundown of a typical day.

I wake up early and walk a mile or two with Aron. If we are lucky, we spot one of these little guys on our excursion.

I come home and tidy up a bit, and see Aron off to work. Then I have a glass of this nectar and some toast. I am officially addicted to caffeine. Bleh.

Since eBay requires their top rated sellers to ship next day, I spend the first half of my day shipping eBay orders, as well as Amazon and website.

Shipping isn't fun, but it's not like we could train the cats to do it. Or could we?

Nevermind.

This is the look I rock most days. I slap on a bit of beauty balm, powder, and lipgloss. Oh yea, and my glasses that I have to wear ALL the time now.

After I'm done with shipping, I spend the rest of the afternoon on the computer, listing items on eBay and our websites, or sorting clothing and books.

Sometimes you run a across a comic that just makes your day...

I mean, it doesn't get much better than this. I Instagramed it and everything :)

That is about it for a typical workday. When you are preparing to vend at comic conventions, things are anything but typical.

There's much book sorting...

...and husbands setting up mock booths in the garage. Oi vey.

I hope you enjoyed this "day in the life" post. Have a good one!

Feeling a Bit Squirrely

Hello Again!

I usually shoot outfit photos in my backyard, mainly out of pure laziness. But once in a while you run into a location so stellar, I have to make an exception. I love this little guy!

My friend was just hanging out at our local Japanese restaurant Who knew?

Top: American Rag

Skirt: Torrid

Bag: Betseyville

Shoes: Peebles (old)

I tried the Bento box, and it was way too much fried tempura goodness, which I tried to pawn off on Aron.

Only 2 more days to enter our Essie giveaway!

Happy Friday!

My Go-To

Hello Again!

How many of you have a closet full of clothing, and continuously wear the same three outfits? I am guilty as charged. The below outfit has become my go-to. I wear this Torrid denim skirt at least twice a week. The top I picked up at Target a few months ago, and have been wearing it nonstop all Summer.

Aron took these photos a couple of Sundays ago. I think it's cute how you can see his reflection in the window.

Top: Pure Energy

Skirt: Torrid

Shoes: Old-Ross

We headed over to our local Panera for a breakfast sandwich, but we just missed the breakfast cutoff. Don't you hate that? I ended up ordering a veggie sandwich, Aron had a chicken panini which he wasn't too crazy about. So I shared some of my veggie :)

I also had to partake in the Chai Iced Tea.

A Series of Outtakes

Hello Again!

This "photoshoot" turned into one big outtake. From the weird lighting and wind, to my flip flops, scowl, and mad hair, it just wasn't working. I ended up using Instagram to liven up the color tone of the photos a bit.

Life isn't perfect, and in that spirit, here are a few images of imperfection.

 Scowl

 Crazy hair

 Horrid lighting

Dress: Forever 21 Plus (old and shrunken, layered with a cotton slip)

After picture time, Aron and I stopped by Kohl's to pick up some clothing for him. I swear, he will wear his work clothes until they are threadbare. It's really very cute.

As he tried on clothing, I wandered around the store. I was excited to see all the Fall decor on display. Is it just me, or are you done with Summer once August hits? I am already dreaming of Fall clothing and crisp, gorgeous weather.

I wandered over to the shoe section, and was in awe of how beautiful Jennifer Lopez is. She just doesn't age!

There were some great shoes on sale, but I really don't do heels. That didn't stop me from taking photos of these works of art.

 Hello Kitty watches-yes please!

I hope I entertained you with my random ramblings. I've been super busy getting us ready vend at DragonCon this year. I might not post quite as much in the upcoming weeks, but I will do my best!
