My Week According to Instagram

Yesterday it snowed.  So much for spring, huh?  Hopefully that was winter's last ditch effort and it will finally start admitting defeat.  It's so hard to believe that a week ago it was in the 50s and sunny and now it's back to snow.  Oh ridiculous weather.

This week has not been my best.  I've had a horrible migraine since last Sunday that will not go away.  No matter any different medicine I try, it still stays strong.  Worse, the tension is all across my head, through my neck, and even down to my shoulders.  On top of it all, halfway through the week my back decided to act up and I can't move without pain.  I have no idea what happened to it, but I can barely bend forward, that's how stiff it is.  Even with taking a muscle relaxer I'm still super tense.

28. Smudger says Happy St. Patrick's Day! (photo from last year)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  What are your plans?  I know it's a party day for those Irish and non and a lot of people will be drinking, even though it's a Sunday.  Myself, even though I am Irish, am not a big drinker.  Plus I don't want to give my head an excuse to hurt anymore than it already does.

But as per my St. Patty's Day tradition, I shall be watching The Boondock Saints.  If you haven't seen it yet...where have you been?  I'll also be watching the sequel, All Saints Day.  I don't care if some people think it's bad.  Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery can do no wrong.  Plus those two gorgeous men with Irish accents.  Swoon-worthy.

La Fhéile Pádraig Shona Duit!

Style Crush: Zooey Deschanel

It wouldn't be a Style Crush feature without including the kitschy, adorkable Zooey Deschanel.

Style Crushes unite!  Zooey teamed up with previous Style Crush Joseph Gordon-Levitt to make (500) Days of Summer.  I love, love, love this film.  It doesn't have your typical ending, but I still love both actors and their outfits in the film.

How perfect is she in this sepia-toned photo?  I love the photos from this shoot that are all retro-esque.  It completely inspires me to go to the beach and do my own shoot with my grandmother's vintage swimsuit.

She just seems like such a sweet girl next door.  The kind of girl that you'd love to be friends with and go out thrifting.  I love that she ads a touch of whimsy to a lot of her looks and doesn't take herself too seriously.

She even looks completely adorable just out on the street with her hair up and a great pair of sunglasses.  I can't see much of the coat, but what I can see I absolutely love.  And I bet it makes her blue eyes pop when she has the sunglasses off.

 

I don't know about you, but I'd love to get a peek inside her closet.  I bet there are the most beautiful skirts, blouses, and dresses.  And what about the shoes!?

I know some people don't like Zooey for whatever reason.  They think she's fake or something...  But I love her style.  And not to mention her incredibly sultry singing voice.  It's like something out of the 40s.  She's one talented lady in my book.

Going through all of these photos really makes me nostalgic for when I had the "Zooey bangs".  It's just such a cute look.  But I know if I cut them I'll regret it when it comes to my regular hair styling.  Oh well, I'll just enjoy them on her.
