Holy crap, you guys! I’ve had about a week and a half of solid blog-neglect. What am I out doing that’s so important I should be ignoring YOU?
Well, for starters Mama got a promotion, so my life has had a little extra hustle to it as I try to adapt. Besides that, I’ve been blogging with a few fantastic sites:
High Society Tailored Denim: Kasil
Let’s preface this post with the fact that my work attire is business casual. With all the choices out there, one might think business casual would be an easy wardrobe to build. This isn’t the case though, when it comes to bottoms – I need something besides the standard skinny jean or legging. I need something that is polished, not distressed. Business casual invokes the image of something chic, that can be dressed up or down. It’s what Kasil does best.

Wednesday Guest Post: Birdie in Vegas!
Every February, my fiancé and I make a trip to Vegas to meet with friends, and to get away from the Pacific Northwest rain. Usually the respite is well needed since it’s generally rainy and around 50F here in Seattle. It’s always a challenge to know what to pack for Vegas since the weather is so drastically different – sunny and 65 during the day, and often cold in the evening. When you’re inside, the temperature is often much cooler than it is outside; bringing a scarf, wrap, or sweater a necessity.
Last year, I wrote about how I packed for Vegas and it was all about finding THE right bag to carry anything I’d need for the day. This year, it will be all about discovering a stylish way to fight the changes in climate, from the hotel to the sunny streets of Sin City, to the overly chilled interiors, to the sometimes chilly Vegas nights. Also, you do have to be prepared for rain, which we discovered this year!

Psychedelic Chic
I stumbled across the blog this morning to find Ashe’s post about the Tarina Tarantino jewelry at Manhattanite right now.  I literally almost jumped out of my seat. Tarina’s baubles are totally fun and I immediately headed to Polyvore to create fun outfits to go with them.
Everything that drew my eye had a psycheldelic-rock chic feel when I paired it up – a little glam rock here, some weekend bohemia there… I mean, hippies are out out, but that tye-dyed bohemian look is still hot when given an ultra-modern twist.
That’s what I’ve been up to! And a foray into video blogging? Wow, you guys – I’m totally moving up in the digital age. If anybody wants to donate to my “Birdie needs an iPod tripod for V-logging” email me or find me on Twitter or something. 
Get a flex tripod from Best Buy or Amazon. They’re around $20 and you can wrap them around almost everything. I use it for my Flip cam.
