....Hipsters....

Despite making fun of them and even playing Punch Hipster (as in a take off "Yellow Punch Buggy no punch backs!") while in Detroit on Saturday, my friends and I hit up the most Hipster-friendly locals in the city....Eastern Market, Bizarre Bazaar, Avalon Bakery, and this cafe called 1515 Broadway at which a man with glasses with clear plastic frames was working on his Mac. And we enjoyed our day very thoroughly. I think that secretly, there's a little bit of Hipster in all of us, whether we like it or not.

Also I totally want an animal hat like that Hipster in the commercial. So fricken cute.

I've got black sweaters, long black v-necks, short black v-necks, black velvet dresses, black leggings, black jeggings, black skirts, black shoes, black boots....And I just want more! It's such a simple canvas for the more outrageous things I own. To hell with camel, black will always be the new black to me!

Now that fashion is shifting away from that rocker, $1600 Balmain ripped t-shirt style, there are a wide variety of incoming trends. From the polished, '50s housewife to the power dresser of the 90s, there is no one, established look yet. Usually I'm ready to move on and roll along with the ever-changing industry, but I don't want to dressed like a mature, elegant lady. I'm only seventeen, and I want to dress like a classless mess while I still can!

Baja hoodies ... Is it worth being stereotyped as a pot head?

This weekend I watched Casablanca, The Thin Man, and Pink Cadillac. I love Humphrey Bogart and his romance with Lauren Bacall. It's just so...Romantic! Harhar. Although his characters in Casablanca, Sabrina and To Have and Have Not are all virtually the same, I don't mind because he's so great and the movies are great and he's great so it's all good. It's got that whole Mr. Darcy thing to it. And Nick and Nora... The originals mind you, none of that indie Infinite Playlist crap, are so hilarious. And then Clint. And he's unusually goofy in Pink Cadillac. So basically that older hottie thing. Except they're classy. Soo yup.

This weekend I attended my very first rodeo! YeeeeeeeeeHAW!

Friday night was a Jamey Johnson concert and the rodeo began on Saturday. I thought I'd be real clever about it and dress the part...jean shorts and cowboy boots. I quickly realized the U.P. Pro Rodeo is nothing like the Hoedown, and the real country boys and girls don't play dress up. I felt like a huge joke to the real cowgirls who seemed to follow the more practical uniform of boots, blue jeans, sparkly belt, patterned button-down and a hat. The cowboys wore about the same - minus the sparkly belt - but personally I think they wore it much better. ;)

The second day I just decided to take my friend's advice and embrace the fact that I was a misfit. I took it to the extreme and outfitted myself with a hat and scarf from a vintage store in town.

Did I mention I've been at the cottage? The weather's been beautiful and I've been out on the hammock by the lake nearly every day. Yesterday I floated away on a floatie. A tad frightening.

Examples of my beach attire.

Obviously, I have superb tan lines.

Ahhh haha. Ha. Ha. Those washers would not be so comfortable after a few minutes in the sun.

Doesn't project runway come back soon? I watch it every season and yet I don't think I could name a single winner. Unless that Hot Mess/Fierce/Christian kid won. Other than that, I'm blank.
