Jack the Snipper

shirt: H&M, skirt: thrifted, tights: target, necklace: forever21, boots: thrifted, belt: thrifted

There are some store names that leave me confused.

Like the Dress Barn.

The dress barn.

Really? You're sure that's the one you want to stick with?

And then there's The Bra Patch.

I thought naming dolls the cabbage patch kids was bad enough but the Bra Patch is taking it to a whole new level.

You know those convenience stores called Wawa's?

I can't say it with a straight face. Every time I hear "Wawa" I see Annie Sullivan holding Helen Keller's hands under a pump while Helen screams "wawa!! wawa!!"

And I passed a Chinese shop the other day called Hung Far Low.

we'll just leave it at that.

I saw this next one on a t-shirt and asked the guy about it and he said it was a legit shop (his brother's, actually) It's Nolan's Pottery and Used Cars. Why in the world would you pair pottery and used cars?

There's this barber shop downtown called Jack the Snipper. Is this a business name or a warning?

Last one: Coffin shoes. I do hope their motto is 'The last pair of shoes you'll ever need!' or perhaps 'Kicks for when you kick!'

on that lovely note,

Happy Tuesday, lovelies!

(and I want to hear about any strange shop names you've seen or heard of! So spill 'em out!) 

Oh I do love Polyvore

 Would you all kill me if I admitted that I have never even been to H&M until this past weekend?

You would? Ok. In that case I definitely did not just admit it.

But seriously, loves, this store is genius.

As much as I love forever21...let's just say that there's chaotic and there's forever21.

H&M is not only priced at right about the same as forever21 but you can actually enter their stores and not feel like someone just hit you with one of those yoga gongs and now you're seeing triples of everything.

Now if only I could find my camera battery charger.

That's what this post is supposed to be all about but I thought I'd let you in on my new found love as well.

And let's move onto another well-known love of mine. shoes.

color-blocked shoes in particular.

  

Oh I do love Polyvore.

top posts, searches, and let's talk about creepers.

So let's talk about this last year on Randomness.

Well almost year that is - Randomness started nearly a year ago.

And I, like nearly everyone who started a blog , never intended this to become a fashion blog.

It just kinda happened. Hardee har har.

So let's look at this past year starting with the top five posts...

1. I cannot believe I am actually posting on a Sunday. That never happens.

  

I don't even particularly like the post. It's just a bit all over the place. (literally. go see. you'll see what I mean.) So does someone want to explain why I get so many page views on this?

I really don't understand it.

2. i'm a bit of a grandma

 

This makes a bit more sense to me - there are tons of links to this post so I'm really not surprised it landed second. I do love this outfit - so simple and I love tying my scarf like that.

3. those darn contagious fashion diseases

  

This is one of my all time favorite posts. I had a blast writing it and this is my favorite outfit I've

ever styled here. Snooki poof and knotted shirt? I love.

4. when in doubt, wear a chunky sweater

 

Not one I would've put in my top posts but apparently you all loved it! So go us!

(maybe it's that dragon. it doesn't get too much cooler than posing with

a webkinz dragon, now does it?)

5. the art of pretending (bum bum bummmm...it's not that bad. I promise.)

 

The sick post. I like it. 

So that's the top five posts - go check them out if you feel like it. Any other posts you think should've made the top five or any ones you're surprised to see?

Ok. Let's move onto some searches. These are pretty funny. (and are in random order...)

1. brunette teen

well that's me. creeper.

2. girl. camera. mirror.

whelps. errpps. yeah. hi!

3.  pointless holidays 2010

Hate to burst your bubble but it hasn't been 2010 for a bit now.

And why 2010? Are there certain holidays that only come once a year? perhaps so.

4. I am looking for my prince.

Hope you found him!

5. fro yo is excellent.

I agree completely. And slightly addicting. (we're talking about frozen yogurt here. it's good stuff.)

6. bath beer

Let's go over a few things here: one, I am under the legal drinking age. two, I cannot stand the smell of beer so why would I want to take a bath in it? 

7. tilt shift snow.

zebra jelly pool.

8. mermaid beer mugs.

...

9. I like zucchini.

So glad! I can't stand the stuff!

10. Will you marry me?

Sorry, chief. I think I'll pass. But thanks for the offer anyway. 

 Happy 2012, lovelies!
