what i wore: spearmint

hello!

wow, i can't believe that it is december already! so little time and so many gifts to make! hope you are all ahead of the game and not like me waiting for the last minute!

this outfit i wore this last sunday to work. one of the great things about blogging is being inspired by others. katie from katie's pencil box did just that. my outfit was inspired by this amazing yet simple ensemble. i knew i had the right things in my closet to make it work. with such a small closet i can't go super crazy in the clothes department so one of my favorite things is to read blogs and get inspired by all the amazing creative people out there in hopes to rejuvenate my closet and get inspired without having to spend a bunch of cash.

plus since i ride my bike i want to feel cute and show others that spandex isn't what everyone should wear while on two wheels. i am also sporting my favorite papersparrow necklace that my sister-in-law bought me and as some of you might know i also have the narwhal pouch where i keep all my lipstick goodies :D

the day started off great but the moment i got off the train my back tire got a flat. i had no flat repair kit with me and the bike store on the way to work was closed on sunday, whats a girl to do!!! well i walked my ass to the closest bike shop after work and got everything fixed and now kiki is riding perfectly!

now to make a bike kit for myself!

please pass the mint, please!

hi everyone! thank you so much for your sweet and such supportive comments on my craft fair. i am so lucky to have such wonderful readers! i can't thank you enough :) each one of them made me smile, so thank you!

so in my last bike chic outfit i had mentioned how i am a bit in love with mint and yellow...well people it is official, i am obsessed with the color combo! i want to wear it all the time and i am getting the itch to paint and this color combo will be the first i try out!

i am also a bit obsessed with pleated skirts too. i got this black one a while back while hanging out with kelly-anne at one of my favorite thrift stores, actually now that i think about it i got the shirt there too! i just love how this skirt flows in the wind while i ride and i find myself watching the skirt more then the road ahead. so bad, especially in sf which is really bad., people have the nasty habit of jumping right off the curb and into the bike lane without looking. an awkward crash that would be!

 know the game fogger? well that is kinda how it can be riding in the city... fun but at times a bit scary. as you can see i also painted my nails yellow and mint colored and i had sworn never to paint my nails ever again as they chip instantly but i couldn't resist :D

what colors are you obsessed with?

oh and i can't forget the winner of one of lo's amazing necklace....drum rolling please.......... NIKKI
congrats lady! lo will be contacting you next week to get your info and send you a fabulous necklace. i am very jealous indeed!
