Please feed the beast..
…before she eats nine cookies.
Yep, that happened.
And now I feel slightly sick to my stomach.
But I digress…first thangs first.
Breakfast thing morning was coffee with a side of a yog mess (plain nonfat Chobani + Kashi Honey Sunshine + sliced naners + almond buttah).
I snarfed that deliciousness in about six minutes flat. Coffee included.
Then, I put on my new dress Mama Everythingtarian scored at Tarjay for $8 (and wrapped so I would have an extra present to open for Christmas) and channeled the gorgey Snackface for a clothes pic…
That would be my $8 turquoise Converse Target dress, new purple tights from NY&Co. and Jessica Simpson brown boots. Not going to lie, I may have decided to walk the mile to work in my boots so I could strut and pretend I was European. Yes, I am an idiot. Walking in sub-zero temps with tights + boots on = idiot (and blisters on your feet).
Then, I continued to channel dear Kailey by snacking my face off all day. And yes, you may also end up seeing me as her stalker when she gets her own E! True Hollywood Story someday.
Carrots + pepperjack cheese stick.
Roasted cinnamin-cumin chickpeas (obsessed), two clementines and a Black Cherry Wallaby yogurt (new fave flavor).
Wintermint Wafers (x3, add a chocolate-covered fortune cookie and a mondo stomachache).
A pan of kale chips.
A Sunshine Breakfast patty with BBQ sauce.
And lots of mint tea + shopping to soothe the tummy.
I hit up a couple of stores with a friend after work, which ended up being three hours of shopping. Don’t underestimate the power of sprinting across the store for a cute dress or fighting the biatch lady next to you for the last size 7 black ankle boots. Carrie Bradshaw had it right long ago when she said, “Shopping is my cardio.” Ladies AND gents…a workout is a workout, in or out of the gym.
Alright…this post is going nowhere and fast.
It’s 10:10pm, I’m about to hit ‘Publish’ and then skedaddle my butt to bed.
Eff. I just found a hole in my new purple tights.
And now I am just typing everything I am thinking. That’s only going to end up with Holly starting to talk about herself in the third person, people thinking she is crazy and perhaps saying inappropriate swear words not needed on this blog.
Please stop the beast before things get out of control.
Shit.
Too late.

Am I not supposed to be laughing my ass of at your outfit pic? I’m sorry. I am dying though. I can’t get passed the look on your face. I die.

2. no shame in cookie eating. I ate a bacon chocolate bar today.
3. i talk in 3rd persona too. Its kinda fun, but then people think you are nutso and tend to not want to hang around with you. LoLo aint a weirdo tho. She is just eccentric.

SUPER cute outfit…worth the blisters
Your yogurt mess looks fab. Love love roasted chickpeas- add a great crunch to a salad. I still have not tried kale chips- I need to get on that train. Hope you’re getting some good rest 
January 6th, 2010 at 5:46 am
Such a cute outfit! You have fabulous style, Holly!
January 6th, 2010 at 5:56 am
I love roasted chickpeas! I do mine with cumin and chili powder. Mmmm!
Don’t sweat the cookies. It happens.
January 6th, 2010 at 6:19 am
Target = my life for clothes, the outfit is so cute! I feel you on the fashion over freezing temps, I wore tights with holes in them the other day despite the 5 degree weather report.
And I have never seen pepperjack cheese sticks! That is my all time favorite flavor of cheese, must find them!
January 6th, 2010 at 6:20 am
Love the dress! Ow Ow! Girl you are smokin’
January 6th, 2010 at 7:10 am
Haha you’re hilarious! Love the outfit
January 6th, 2010 at 7:14 am
This is my first time commenting, but GIRL, you are hilarious! I can’t ever stop laughing my head off when I read your blog! For reals, I don’t know how you don’t have your own tv show already, haha…and love your dress, 8 bucks gotta love tarjay!
January 6th, 2010 at 7:25 am
I love the stream of consciousness at the end…that sucks your tights are ripped already.
January 6th, 2010 at 7:49 am
Target = awesome!
January 6th, 2010 at 7:56 am
You are so freakin’ funny!! When I’m drunk, sometimes I speak in the 3rd person! haha I needed a good laugh today. Thank you!!!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:00 am
P.S. You look totally European!! haha. And you are going to be jealous… I just booked a roundtrip flight to London for Feb for less than $100 last night. I’ve got 6 months left here!! Come visit!
!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:04 am
Don’t worry, Holly, I beat you with TEN cookies on Xmas Eve. Had a lovely Christmas Cookie Hangover the next day.
January 6th, 2010 at 8:07 am
Score on the dress! You look amazing in it!
And I have a feeling today is going to be a snack-y day for me too. I woke up starving and I already know nothing is going to satisfy this tummy!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:38 am
I love target clothes- their dresses are really cute.
And I think we both ate too many cookies…but at least your kale chips “balanced it out” right?
January 6th, 2010 at 9:00 am
Haha love the post. I had a cookie-filled day yesterday as well
January 6th, 2010 at 9:10 am
shopping = best work out ever!
love it!
you look SUUUUPES HOTT in that outfit lady! seriously lovin the dress and tights! my fav colors!
can i have a cookie!?
January 6th, 2010 at 9:15 am
hahahaha. This is too hilar. I ♥ u! Ummm and the hole in those purple tights is worth a tear. Because they are gorgey. In fact just this weekend at Target I picked up a pair of purple tights along with grey and black ones. I would cry if anything happened to any of those blessed things.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:19 am
Ahaha I <3 you so much. LOVE this post and your outfit. Too cute. And I very often count shopping as my cardio. Carrie Bradshaw is all-knowing.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:19 am
Oh my sweet! Sorry about the tights. I have similar red ones! Maybe we can wear them together? Great.
So I just caught up on the last post too (i.e. before emailing you yesterday) and I am so excited about your trip!! wooo wooo!!
January 6th, 2010 at 9:22 am
LOVE the outfit
I have on new tights today that I am in love with ,but I’m so scared to wear colored ones for some reason!
I love the purple with the dress – sassy.
January 6th, 2010 at 9:34 am
CUTE outfit! 100% worth the subzero temperatures! Shopping is definitely my cardio. I once joked on my blog that I had a long run scheduled aka an entire day of shopping but some people didn’t get the memo and wished me luck on my long run, haha
January 6th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Love that outfit!! You know what they say…”Beauty is pain!” Worth the cold? Maybe, haha.
Those cookies look deliciousss!
<3 jess
xoxo
January 6th, 2010 at 11:12 am
hahah this post was so entertaining!! love it!! i LOVE that outfit..and your eats! and shopping DEF = cardio!
January 6th, 2010 at 11:31 am
Love the dress! And you are so brave to wear tights and boots in this ridic weather. I’ve deemed it so cold that I’m wearing jeans and winter boots to work. Until it hits double digits.
January 6th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Hey, my mom just bought me that dress at Target, too! Hehe. And now I know how much she paid for it
Hey, you make $8 look like a million bucks, girl.
January 6th, 2010 at 11:51 am
love that outfit! hot damn, lookin stylish!
January 6th, 2010 at 11:56 am
You have such great style!! Adorable.
January 6th, 2010 at 11:57 am
I so miss living down the street from Target. Blasted NYC! I just found an awesome site for hot Target finds, though.
Purple tights rule my life. My latest find? Tie die! You may just be my stocking twin.
Also love that yellow mug at the top next to your coffee. Unless that’s a candle.
January 6th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
hey holly!! havent commented in a bit so i decided to check in haha…the dress looks very cute on you! target has some cute stuff (especially bathing suits- which I hate trying on but they are cute nonetheless) I need to start shopping at target more often- I am brokeeee right now!
January 6th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
Oh, Holly. I was eating gobs of chocolate chip cookie dough out of a giant tub the last night. Now, I feel like a giant tub.
Freezing and impractical as it may have been, I LOVE your outfit!
Those chickpeas look ah-maz-ing!
Love you and your free-flowing thoughts!
January 6th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
You look HAWT in your outfit darling. You have every right to strut your stuff for that mile walk. Bummer about the hole. Laaaame. Cookies happen. They can be the devil like that. Grrrr. But oh so tasty.
January 6th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
Love the dres! Target is my savior store
great eats and those Wintermint wafers, yummy!!
January 6th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
Ahh! I just got the same Target dress! Except mine is plaid. I wore it on Monday and froze my butt off…I should have wordn some (purple) tights with it, too. LOVE cheap, cute clothing.
January 6th, 2010 at 1:18 pm
OMG I LOVE YO OUTFIT!!!! Coloured (sometimes I add that “u” in color to sound exotic/British) tights are so HOT RIGHT NOW! I once got a $9 wrap dress at Walmart and was OBSESSED with it… I actually don’t even know where it went. Anyways, BRING THAT ‘FIT TO SAN FRAN WHEN WE BOOGIE DOWN THIS SUMMA!
I am not looking forward to sub-zero degree weather in VT.
I <3 cookies.
AND YO FACEEE!!!! YIPPPEE BYE LOVE CHU
January 6th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
Shoooo!!! I love, love, love the fit. You reminded me that I have purple tights that need to be worn! And you nailed the facial expression.
I’m utterly flattered you thought you had a SnackFace day! If eating nine cookies equals SnackFace, I’m down. Also, please stalk me, I’ll allow it.
Hahaha the end schpiel about your thoughts? That’s basically what I do in my posts allll da time. I enjoyed your inner monologue coming out.
I’ve been thinking about July non-stop. LOVE YOU!!! xoxooxo
January 6th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
I <3 you!! Your new dress is beautiful! Purple tights are better with holes in them. I think you should have had 19 cookies though…not 9.
January 6th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
Girl you are too funny! I haven’t had that honey sunshine kashi in foreverrr. Same with almond butter. Cuh-razy I know! I have to say, your outfit was awesome!!! I love all the colors and it looks awesome on you
You know what sucks? They don’t have the Sunshine burger breakfast flavor down here! I guess I’ll just wait till I’m back in VA to try it out.
XOXOXO never stop being you, k?
January 6th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
love the style pic! work it, girl!
January 6th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
ahhah awesome! too funny. Love the dress and boots btw! Super cute! Your chickpeas look awesome. Reminds me I gotta make some fast!
January 6th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
“…Strut and pretend I was European”…I am literally laughing out loud, Holly, you’re too funny!! Sometimes before I eat 9 cookies (or the equivalent in cookie dough…yes, that’s disgusting, I know, lol!) it just seems like a good idea…and then comes the sugar rush head/tummy ache!
January 6th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Those cookies look worth the tummy ache ; )
And I know everyone’s already said this, but you look FABU in your dress! Plus, I totes wouldv’e walked to work in my boots too to show off my bossy self. Glad you worked it, sistah. Blisters be damned!
January 6th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Love the outfit lady! I have sacrified comfort for fashion many many times…
January 6th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
Popped in to say hi! Your blog cracks me up!
January 6th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
ah! i have that dress too but i paid full price for mine
January 6th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Carrie Bradshaw is my flippin hero. If she has THAT much sex, smokes, writes in her own apt, eats chinese noodles up the wazoo, AND looks the way she does, god love her for it.
but nothing in the movies are real. so i’m happy eating my veggies and staying celibate. (for now.) bahah.
January 6th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
those boots are supah fierce.. though apparently they are not made for walking. Oh Jessica, how you contradict yourself. Nevertheless, you are so gorgeous it’s insane!
xoxo
January 6th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Bahahaha, oh Holly, I loved this little peek into your mind
Lovelovelove the outfit. I wore tights with flats to work today and froze my booty off hiking around campus. Ahh, the things we do for fashion. (which by the way, is still totally worth it)
Despite eating a bunch of cookies, I think you did a fab job balancing it out with the rest of your eats. It’s all about balance, right?
I maaaay have finally gotten around to sending out a package today with your name on it. They say it’ll take 11 days!
January 6th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
dont you love that brands like mossimo and converse are now carried at tarjay when they used to be at nordstroms? i do. and you are sassy in that getup! love your face! and cookies are sometimes necessary. and boy do i miss yogurt messes and i am only on day 3 without them.. shit, february 5th can’t come soon enough! i love you!!!
January 6th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
loveeeee tarjayyyy! You rock that outfit girl!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:54 pm
Gahhhh that outfit is amazing! I can never seem to think up cute outfits like that. It’s a problem. Belated New Years resolution, methinks? And the eats look so yummy today!
January 7th, 2010 at 12:21 am
love your new dress. I need to put a dress on at least once in my life. I am the anti girl. sheez.
I am addicted to your chickpeas too AND a pan of baked kale gets me every-time!
I am off to bed too. sleeeeepy
January 7th, 2010 at 6:37 am
I totally get this post. Totally.
You’re rocking that dress – I would done the pretend-to-be-a-European-thing too!
January 7th, 2010 at 7:03 am
you’re great. yep. that’s all.
January 7th, 2010 at 10:13 am
That outfit is hawt! Love the dress. And Carrie Bradshaw was so right when she said that quote. Power shopping can be exhausting!
January 7th, 2010 at 4:52 pm

January 7th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Adorabel, adorable outfit!! Your rockin’ it!
Oh, and I totally would have walked a mile in killer boots like those too. 
January 7th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Loveee the Converse stuff at Target…wait I love everything at Target
I really like your purple tights!
Enjoyed your stream of consciousness style in this post as well, hope you’re getting some rest bay-bay!
January 12th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
