Whoa buddy!

Kinda been a while, huh?

I've been having some computer issues and took a trip home to Iowa so at least I have a sort-of decent excuse.

In other news, I got a sweet new jacket!

 I almost didn't buy it, mostly because I didn't actually think I would wear it but it's become my new favorite thing.

I love anything nautical and this has some pretty adorable gold anchor buttons on it.

I also got my hair to the color red that I want.  Now I just have to preserve it!

This is Jackie, by the way, the friend that was moving out.  She took my pictures for me this time around.

AANNNND while I was in Iowa, I realized that I was missing one very important element here at High Heels and Cigarettes:

LAUREN FREESE

She gets a lot of credit when it comes to how I dress and my interest in fashion.

Now to just get her to not take pictures at work!

Bang! BangBang!

I love straight-across bangs.  I would like to have them all the time but the upkeep is more than I can handle most of the time;  Luckily I know my way around a pair of scissors!

 Jon took too many good pictures today and I couldn't chose so I just posted pretty much all of them.  I've been wanting to feature these heels for a long time but it seemed like every time I wore them, I didn't post.  Same goes for these amazing Levi's jeans.  

They are super comfortable and they make my butt actually look good which is almost impossible for anything denim.

This is Ned.  He works at the shop with me.  Sometimes he's pretty stylin'

Plus he has pretty eyes in this picture.  Who knows, maybe I can get him a girlfriend with this.

And finally a nice picture of me and the man-candy from the Sweet 16 party a couple weeks ago.

He looks so freakin' good in a suit!
