summer in the city

So at work this Memorial weekend, we were prompted to wear swimwear for our swim promo (which ends tomorrow). I'm pretty shy about that stuff so I wore a sheer top as a cover up. I was also able to spend most of the time ringing behind the cashwrap :). Anyway, here are some pictures of me and some coworkers.







Also, we're having a company-wide contest for free pleated linen pants/shorts where we have to put together an outfit and send in a photo, and this is my submission. Wish me luck!

tiptoe through the tulips

Hello again. So I still haven't put up any new clothes for sale, so the discount that was supposed to end Monday is still going on until I get the new listings up. Go! Buy! HoneyBee VIntage.

I've been busy with writing and work and grad school, but I did have a hectic weekend in Syracuse, New York for my baby sister's graduation. Here's a picture of us siblings: my brother Kris, me, sister Maya, and my older sister Tess.


And then my little sister, the grad, tiptoeing through the tulips. Tulips are my favorite-- I'm not much of a flower girl-- and they were everywhere in Syracuse!


J and I, delayed in Syracuse. We had to stay an extra night in Detroit because we missed our connecting flight.


In other news, I just found out I was in the latest installment of American Apparel's Best of Seen and Submitted, which showcases bloggers wearing American Apparel clothing. They chose the blog post where I was wearing the Single Layer Chiffon Skirt. Check it out here at Best of Seen and Submitted, and the actual blog post here.

HoneyBee Vintage SALE!

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of real posts lately. A lot's going on. Let me tell you that there will be new things in the shop by Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. In anticipation of that, everything that's in my shop as of right now, May 9th, is on sale for five dollars off. Yep, 5$ off every item, for one week. I'm marking 'em down right as we speak. So check my shop out, let others know, etc. These items and more are still up for grabs at HoneyBee Vintage!




Also, if you're in or around the Venice area, I'm going to be at the release of McSweeney's Quarterly Issue #37. Click that link to get tickets! My professor is a regular contributor and he's reading there tonight. See you there maybe!

And some mood music for this fine day.

ginnifer goodwin

Hey, so, Mother's Day is this weekend and I won't be able to see her till next weekend because she lives in Phoenix and I work. Here's a cute little picture of the two of us though! There are better ones but this is one that's scanned and on my mom's Facebook-- yes, she has one. I don't have access to others since I'm out of town at the moment. :)



I sort of have my hands full with grad school and work and writing the next great American short story collection, so i haven't posted in a while. Today is a relaxation day of sorts wherein I get to eat chocolate fondue and get a skincare consultation for free since my boyfriend's cousin got this free package-- she's getting married soon-- and is sharing it with lucky me!

Then, we're going to go see Something Borrowed which features two people I LOVE; one being John Krasinski (Jim from The Office) and the other, Ginnifer Goodwin, who has always been a minor player but I've been really into her for a long time. So, this post is dedicated to her cuteness.
















Last, sorry about the delay on the shop stuff. For sure next week, and then I'm off to New York for my little (but taller) sister's graduation from Syracuse University! That's when I'll get to see my mom, too, because I won't be able to see her on Mother's Day this Sunday (gives me another week to shop for her; what are you getting your mothers?).
