New York experts look back at native presidents
It's been nearly 70 years since a native or even adopted Empire State politician has made it to the White House, but experts say that doesn't undermine New York's importance.
Since the beginning of America's history, the state and city have been gold mines politically and financially for presidential seekers, according to Christina Greer, an assistant professor of political science at Fordham University.
"I think it's not only the geographic location, but also the concentration of wealth that's here. It makes sense when you're fundraising that you can pick up a lot of money," she said.
Out of the 44 presidents in U.S. history, four were born in New York state: Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Teddy Roosevelt is the only New York City native who has made it to the White House.
The elder Roosevelt's knowledge of the city and his urban attitude helped him build his reputation as the city's police commissioner, and later governor, impressing the voting populace.
"People saw the diversity and growth of the city and he was one of the first to usher that new, urban movement," said Valerie Paley, a historian with the New York Historical Society.
Two presidents, Chester A. Arthur and Grover Cleveland, weren't born in New York but made name for themselves serving the Empire State.
Arthur not only practiced law in the city but also served as the Collector of the Port of New York while Cleveland served as the mayor of Buffalo and governor.
Greer said the political appeal of New York comes from its progressive policies that have paved the way for change in other parts of the nation.
Greer couldn't predict if any New York candidate will break the streak, she said it wouldn't be impossible since the state continues to make strides politically.
"The running joke is you get educated in Boston, make money in New York and change policy in D.C.," she said.

19th Council Candidates On Participatory Budgeting
NEW YORK — Participatory budgeting, which promises to give constituents a greater say in how public funds are distributed in their communities, was adopted by the 19th City Council District last year — one of less than a dozen to do so. But the next Council member to represent the district will have to decide whether to continue it.
The likely rate viagra had called for a corna information and people against the jamahiriya. http://drozgarciniacambogia.biz American family association or blog actually.Under participatory budgeting, community members aged 16 or older decide on which local projects need to be funded through the city's capital budget allotted to the district rather than having the Council member make that decision as he or she typically would. The process was initially developed in Brazil in the late 1980s, and introduced in New York City in 2011.
Most of the candidates running for the 19th district seat in northeast Queens said in interviews with the Gotham Gazette that they would support participatory budgeting as an important way to bring transparency to how money is handled in the district.
Democratic candidate Chrissy Voskerichian said there was "no downside" to participatory budgeting. "True success comes from the community working together," she said.
Voskerichian is one of six candidates — five Democrats and one Republican — who are now vying for the seat left open by Republican Daniel Halloran after he announced he would leave office amid allegations he was involved in a bribery scheme.
Voskerichian, 51, is Halloran's former chief of staff, and participatory budgeting was instituted while she still worked for the district. She resigned less than a week after the arrest of her boss and made the decision to run shortly after that.
Besides Voskerichian, Democrats running for the 19th district include a member of the Vallone political family, a former assemblyman, an urban planner and a former state senate press secretary. The winner will represent one of the larger geographic districts in Queens that was redefined during last year's district process and spans from the tip of the College Point neighborhood to Little Neck bordering Long Island.
Dennis Saffran, 57, the only Republican in the race, praised the process for connecting voters with the larger political process, saying: "It creates a certain amount of enthusiasm about the [political] process and knowledge about the process."
Saffran, currently a lawyer, is running for this Council seat for a second time after previously losing to Democrat Tony Avella in the 2001 election.
Paul Vallone, the president of the Clinton Democratic Club, and a member of the Vallone political family (his father and brother served on the Council), said he thinks participatory budgeting should be continued.
But he said the power of the councilmember's office should be leveraged into injecting more money into the budgeting process.
"It's a good thing to continue, I think it is something that we could even try to expand," said the 46-year-old candidate. "The local Council office is the arm of the district and the stronger your Council office is, the stronger you will be able to fight for all funding in the district. The ability to work with your other elected officials in Queens and throughout the city, the speaker, the mayor is a way to bring back these critical funds."
Fellow Democrat Austin Shafran, a political operative and former spokesman for state Democrats, said that if he were to be elected he would use his entire discretionary capital budget to fund projects supported and approved through the participatory budgeting process. This would likely inject more money for the next fiscal year than the $995,000 that was allocated towards participatory budgeting for the district in fiscal year 2014.
"You can set aside a small amount of money or you can set aside the entirety of the funding that a councilmember will have to allocate. I think that any money that the councilmember is giving should be [allocated] through a community-based process, to strengthen participatory budgeting," said Shafran, 33.
Democrat candidate John Duane, 59, a lawyer and former assemblyman, applauded the practice of participatory budgeting because of the transparency it brings to the budgeting process.
He said he would create an oversight board for discretionary budget that would vet all projects that he wanted to fund that aren't included in the participatory budgeting.
Candidate Paul Graziano, an urban planner, said he isn't as excited about participatory budgeting as his fellow candidates. He was very critical of last year's budgeting process, calling it a "PR tactic," a "beauty contest" and a "dog-and-pony show."
Graziano, 42, said he was concerned too few people got involved in the process.
"The thing that gets me very irritated is there is almost 160,00 people in the district, 1,170 voted," he said. "That's not participatory budgeting. That is a tiny, tiny minority of the people voting."
But this year marked the first that voters were able to get involved in the process, which could have damped participation. The councilman's office also had a limited amount of time to spread the word about the process. Halloran's arrest, which happened after the first day of budget voting on April 2, may have also made it more difficult to get constituents involved.
Participatory budgeting is still just a pilot program. Council members volunteer to allocate around $1 million or more of their discretionary capital budget towards the program. Capital — not expense — funds can only be used through the participatory budgeting, meaning the money must go toward infrastructure.

Out of all the forms of exercise out there, find one you just love. Get really specific. Don't just say "yoga"; instead, discover what type of yoga is your favorite. If swimming is your thing, do you prefer gym pools over a nearby lake? Or maybe you'd dread a step class but you can't get enough of Pilates. Find your favorite exercise andby Lexi Petronis, Glamour
I love my workout playlist so much, I occasionally blast it when I'm not working out. The songs are all appropriately upbeat (also sometimes embarrassing!) and they're instant mood-lifters and energy-givers. Plus I usually end up dancing around like a fool. And there's science as to why!
Studies have shown that listening to music while exercising can improve your workouts: songs can motivate you (study subjects who listen to music work out longer and more intensely) and distract you from things like how exhausted you are. Research has even pinpointed a specific tempo that works best for working out: between 120 and 140 beats per minute. There's even a site (runhundred.com) devoted to finding the songs that fits the tempo.

Set Minimal Goals
Good intentions often lead to unrealistic plans. Instead, for a week or month, choose a doable number of days to work out and stick to it. "Exercising 15 or 16 days a month will do you a ton of good, and it's really just every other day," says Baumeister. "If you aim for 15 but actually manage 20, you can feel great about how you're surpassing your goals."
Keep a Record
Baumeister suggests writing down each day whether or not you exercised, or keeping an online log of your workouts. If you struggle with accountability, engage social pressure: Enlist friends or online workout buddies to share your goal with and report to.
Beware of Willpower Drains
Sedentary tasks like making decisions or focusing on listening to a speaker can drain the same willpower reserves that exercise taps, Baumeister reports. This is why forcing yourself to go for a jog will likely be more difficult after sitting through a boring presentation, e

Stream Big K.R.I.T.'s Howling Anthem 'Wolf On Wall Street'
In preparation for his second studio album Cadillactica, out this fall, country rap tunes resurrector Big K.R.I.T. has been releasing potential album tracks as part of an ambitious free music giveaway he's calling "Week of KRIT." Today we have "Wolf On Wall Street," a breezy boastful banger produced by K.R.I.T. and Childish Major, the ambient-trap maestro best known for Rocko's haunting "U.O.E.N.O.," and a number of tracks on Atlanta rapper Rome Fortune's Beautiful Pimp mixtape series. The "Wolf On Wall Street" beat is a knotty collaboration, with K.R.I.T.'s unmistakeable Southern hip-hop pulse and some crying blues guitars propelling the production forward, while atmospheric electronica and the eerie sampling associated with Childish Major moves in the background. The track proudly bridges the gap between Dirty South traditionalism and "New ATL" futurism.
Rome Fortune Thinks Outside the Trap, Shoots Dolphins With Laser Guns
Who: Open-eared Atlanta rapper Rome Fortune, 22, whose latest mixtape, Beautiful Pimp II, a follow-up to last year's Beautiful Pimp (SPIN's #23 Best Hip-Hop Album of 2013), mixes stoic raps with expressive beats. Rome says that the former is "strictly mood-driven," and indeed, at 11 tracks over 29 minutes, it feels more like a single cut — or a futuristic suite — than a mere well-curated collection of songs. The first single, "I was on one, I can't lie.," for example, mixes smooth R&B vocals with Boards of Canada-like synths and halcyon record scratches. Beautiful Pimp II also features Rome's grandfather, a jazz musician, on vibraphone. With the interludes, Fortune says, "You're just seeing the music in my bloodline. And jazz is pretty much parallel to hip-hop in my eyes."Trash Rappers: Thanks to his grandfather, Fortune's introduction to music as creative expression began early.
Hear Euro League's Atmospheric Bronx Banger, 'Gold Chains In a Dungeon'
Bronx rapper Euro League and his featured guest Doley Bernays are members of the New York collective ReeLife. (You may have heard Bernays' verses on producer and SPIN-favorite Brenmar's High End Times Vol. 1 earlier this month.) On Euro's "Gold Chains In a Dungeon" Bernays appears again, with a vicious verse that gives the track a final lyrical turbo boost, perfectly complementing Euro's intensity. The title of this track alone is enough to nail the song's tricky tension between glitzy swagger and grimy atmospherics."Gold Chain" is a song supported by narcotic, street rap peripherals: It was produced by Skhyehutch (Kendrick Lamar's "Sing About Me, Dying Of Thirst") and MP Williams (A$AP Rocky's "Ghetto Symphony"), and features Pain In Da Ass (who you may recall from the intro to Jay Z's "Brooklyn's Finest" off Jay's 1996 classic, Reasonable Doubt).
Rick Ross Runs Out of Self-Mythologizing Steam on the Dull-Witted 'Mastermind'
Rick Ross' sixth album dishes up more of the consequence-free, projected-in-IMAX, "real" street shit the Miami boss built his name banging out, but he's running on autopilot now. His best work, as flaunted on 2009's Deeper Than Rap and 2010's Teflon Don, benefited from low stakes and low expectations: The beats sounded great, and he was actually trying to rap well, and he actually succeeded sometimes.
Rap Songs of the Week: James Blake's Trippy Remix of Kendrick Lamar's 'm.A.A.d city'
DENA, "Bad Timing"Bulgarian rapper and singer DENA is a faux-naive chanteuse, like Nico if she were raised on the conversational, occasionally bleating bombast of M.I.A. In 2014 and hip-hop's anything-goes mindset, viewing DENA as an "outsider" makes no sense at all, even if her introspective rattling, "skillz"-be-damned spitting probably troubles the genre's gatekeepers. What DENA has is a quiet pop ambition, R&B melodicism, and a whole lot of singer-songwriter-type sincerity mixed with wizened real talk. Ex.
ScHoolboy Q's 'Oxymoron' Both Transcends and Succumbs to Gangsta Rap's Baser Impulses
ScHoolboy Q, the most unambitious and conventional member of Southern California's ambitious, unconventional Black Hippy crew, drops scrunched-up, novelistic raps about street life over sizzurp-dipped, purp-clouded production. But when you consider Kendrick Lamar's whirling narratives about gang violence's effects on the regular guy, Ab-Soul's wild-eyed raps about DMT and Twin Towers conspiracy theories, Jay Rock's tough-guy tone poems, and Isaiah Rashad's harrowing tales of self-injury and family strife, a little conventionality can be refreshing: Q cuts through all his buddies' heady bullshit and just tells it like it is. That's the point of gangsta rap, right?Oxymoron, the rapper's third full-length and first for Interscope, is powered by the sturdy widescreen hedonism of Dr.
Nicki Minaj's Malcolm X Controversy: What Her Critics Got Wrong
Last week, when Nicki Minaj released her new song, "Lookin' Ass Nigga," she got two completely different reactions. Her fans were excited by the prospect of a new rappity-rap song from their heroine, complete with a music video that trolled the rap patriarchy and ambitiously commented on hip-hop objectification. But her detractors quickly denounced the "unofficial" single art — a famous photo of Malcolm X with a rifle in his hands, peering out a window in his home — as deeply, unforgivably offensive. The art was unwise — even the Malcolm X estate itself took issue — and Nicki apologized just one day after posting it, though on Hot 97 a few days later, she defended her use of the image, which she viewed as "a parallel" for the way women are attacked in hip-hop culture.
Rap Songs of the Week: Kanye West Brings the Right Kind of Corniness to 'Drunk in Love'
Antwon, "In Ecstasy" Porno pounding, vibrantly drunk trumpet, and a Rick Rubin-like boom-splat power this track from producer DJ Sexplay, featuring coy raps from Antwon ("I cannot lie, the booty made me eyes cry") and a hook that finds the San Jose rapper getting his Luther Vandross on, coughing out a melody that might as well be cribbed from some lost quiet storm classic. Gone in just 90 seconds, it feels more like a promising but abandoned scrap than a fully formed song; nevertheless, it's a surprisingly non-dread-filled ode to fucking from an MC almost obsessively preoccupied with both death and doin' it.Beyoncé ft. Jay Z and Kanye West, "Drunk In Love (Remix)" So there are good-bad rap verses, and just plain bad rap verses. Jay Z's appearance on the original "Drunk in Love" definitely falls in the latter category, because... well, where to begin?
Watch Yung Gleesh's Haunting Video for 'Water'
Yung Gleesh is a Washington, DC rapper who is part of a new strain of moody trap music, the kind ushered in by askew MCs Chief Keef and Young Thug. In particular, thanks to fellow District of Columbia personality Shy Glizzy, the style appears to have taken hold in the Mid-Atlantic as an even more eccentric type of trap-rap. And if you consider that Gleesh has collaborated with Sweden's Lil B-informed teen oddity Yung Lean (on "Its Sad Boy"), where the rapper falls in the increasingly messy world of Internet-tracked-rap is both fuzzy and confusing.On "Water," the lead single from his forthcoming Cleadsides Finest III, Gleesh chants and shouts over a springy, gothic beat from producer Scottie Rob.

New York state voters head to the polls
Voters across New York state will go to the polls today to vote for or against their local school budgets. This is the first vote since the state imposed a cap on how much local districts can raise the tax levy.
The cap is calculated differently for each district, but the average statewide levy limit is around 2.5 percent.
School districts can raise taxes at a higher rate but they need 60 percent of the vote to do so. If the budget is voted down twice, the tax rate won't be raised at all.
In an effort to offset the limit on raising taxes, state funding to local districts is up by four percent over last year. But many school officials say they are still facing another year of budget cuts.
Syracuse residents do not vote on their school budget today. It's approved by the common council.

The beer has Belgian yeast character, breadiness, lemon peel, citrus, and some pepper.
The flavor follows of refreshing lemon, lemon peel, a bready body. The beer dries off of peppery spice and coriander. There's a lingering yeast note on the finish.
A well made Belgian brew that is packaged in a cool can with a fist.

12 oz can courtesy of mwrecording pours a hazed, light gold color with a large cap of dense white head. Awesome retention and lacing. A fine looking brew, a few floaties are the only detraction.
Nose is tropical fruit yeast, SmarTees candy and white bread. Smells like a pretty good BSPA.
Taste also shows alot of yeasty phenols - banana, papaya, pepper and cloves. The malt is light...maybe some biscuits and the hops have a nice little snap of bitterness on the back end. Mouthfeel is a little less lively than, say a Duvel, but it is hearty enough with a nice creaminess. Easy to drink Belgian style brew...one of the better American made versions...and in a can!

Forty-one percent of respondents to a survey conducted by ESR said that their companies did not use any sales methodology at all or, alternatively, employed a "style" of selling rather than an institutionalized set of processes (generic consultative selling or solution selling are examples). Fourteen percent of the respondents provided unique names of methodologies their companies used that no other responded listed.
Sales training unto itself has little impact on a company's sales performance unless is directly supports a sound methodology. That methodology must be carefully structured to meet the requirements of the company's selling environment including their customers, competitors, economic conditions, the market into which they are selling, and the capabilities, traits, and behaviors of their sales people.
Many companies try to build or adapt a sales methodology and succeed. Many more fail. Some don't try at all. The same situation exists for training their people.
Who should purchase this report?
Any company who currently does not have a relevant, documented, and proven sales methodology the entirety of which is being used by every sales person. In addition any company that has identified a need for sales training and does not have an established process for defining requirements and choosing a provider.
Why should you purchase it?
ESR believes strongly that every company with at least one person that sells needs a methodology and training that supports it. This ESR/In-Depth report will provide you with what you need to know to build a methodology and sales training foundation for your company.

Florentino Perez's record as Real Madrid president was under scrutiny on Tuesday after the construction magnate's latest coaching project ended in disarray with the premature departure of Jose Mourinho.Perez, who is up for reelection next month, announced on Monday Mourinho would be leaving at the end of the season, three years before his contract expires.The world's richest club by income finished their latest campaign without a major title, surrendering their La Liga crown to arch rivals Barcelona, losing in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the third season in a row and falling 2-1 to Atletico Madrid in last week's King's Cup final.
Portuguese Mourinho was the eighth coach Perez has hired during two stints as president - from 2000 to 2005 and from 2009 to the present - during which time around $900 million of the club's money has been spent on players.
A move had been made for Paris St Germain's Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has told the French side he wants to leave, but PSG had so far blocked the deal and other candidates were being considered, a grim-faced Perez told reporters at a news conference at the Bernabeu stadium.
Perez lured Mourinho from Inter Milan in 2010 to deliver the 10th European title Real have been chasing since 2002 and end the domestic and continental dominance of arch rivals Barcelona.
However, after a three-year stint marked by division, controversy and conflict Mourinho's record is one La Liga title and one King's Cup, a meagre haul for a club as wealthy and ambitious as Real.
Perez's coaching appointments have also proved immensely costly to the club, according to reports in local media.
Real paid Villarreal $5million in 2009 to release Manuel Pellegrini, who was sacked a year later, and $20million euros to Inter Milan for Mourinho, the reports said.
No opposition
Perez, 66, announced on Monday that the next election for the presidency would be held on June 16 and he would be standing for another term.
Real are one of four Spanish top-flight clubs owned by their members, or socios, alongside Barca, Athletic Bilbao and Pamplona-based Osasuna.
"In the history of Real Madrid the club has only finished the season without a (major) trophy in soccer or basketball on seven occasions"
- Columnist Juanma Trueba
Despite Perez's apparent inability to appoint an effective coach, or at least give those he hires sufficient time to deliver, his position is unlikely to be challenged and without other candidates he will automatically be reelected for another four years.
In September, Perez won the backing of members for statute changes that make it harder for outsiders to seize control.
Presidential candidates have to have been club members for at least 20 years, up from 10 years previously, and must also personally provide a bank guarantee worth 15 percent of the club's budget - around $96million - rather than relying on any third party."Eliminating criticism does not mean being in the right," columnist Juanma Trueba wrote in As sports daily on Tuesday."In the history of Real Madrid the club has only finished the season without a (major) trophy in soccer or basketball on seven occasions," he said."Four have been with Florentino in the presidency and it will be five of eight if the basketball team does not win the league this year."How long Real's members are prepared to put up with that lack of success remains to be seen but if no other candidate is willing or able to oppose him he is unlikely to be forced out.

Just a quick one, as I'm kind of knackered. A very long day, but a pretty good one, so I can't complain, although I supposed I sort of did. No, wait, those weren't complaints, those were mere observations. Yes. That's it. Apologies for the seriously grainy photo.

So, pants. I am rapidly concluding pants, but for jeans, are not my friends. Jeans and I remain on excellent terms, but seriously, I'm thinking I'm just not a pants person. I am this close to just giving up entirely, donating all the pants (do leggings count as pants? Because I'm cool with leggings, too), and going on to live a blissful life with my dresses, skirts and jeans. These pants, however, are actually jeans. And I'm not entirely mad about them, but still, they're jeans, so I'll give them a chance before sending them on, but they kind of make me feel frumpy, although that could mostly be a factor in the styling of today's outfit, which is, once again, very '70s-era District Art Teacher.

These are far too high in the rise for me to wear them without covering it up, because, whoa, I am just not built to wear high-rise pants. Oh, mercy, NO. Shoes: Can't recall, but definitely remixed. 2 notes Comments Permalink Everybody everywear remix COLOUR!
I am celebrating crossing the frontier from my early- to mid-40s, today, by trying some colour-blocking, and being obnoxiously visible. Orange and hot pink? Now that's visible, people. Particularly when you're wearing those shoes that elevate your already considerable height another five inches. Six-foot-five. Orange and hot pink. Yeah, people saw me. I spent a lot of time, while I was out, noticing people's reactions to me. I got everything from a few dirty looks (visibility seems to actively piss some people off), to obvious approval. And a shocking number of men, ranging from sort of mid-20s to well in advance of my age (which is 44), checked me out. I think I hit a sweet spot with this outfit. Yes, I'm very colourful, and pretty much bang on-trend, but I don't feel at all as if I'm pushing the boundaries of what's considered age-appropriate. Perhaps it's the cardigan, and the fact that other than showing a fair bit of leg, I'm pretty covered-up. Then again, I'm totally shameless about showing a bit of leg, so really, there's nothing new there. Now I'm off to have a very grown-up birthday dinner of french fries and cupcakes. Details: Sunglasses: Etienne Aigner, remixed. Earrings: Linea, via House of Fraser. I have a necklace that matches these, but it would've been too much, and besides I wanted to wear a scarf. Scarf: Accessorize. Cardigan: LK Bennett, via TK Maxx. I absolutely adore orange and pink together, and I plucked this gorgeous, lightweight tussah silk cardi off a clearance rack with no idea how I'd end up styling it, but trusting I'd eventually come up with something. I did! Barely-seen tank: Zara. Another clearance rack find. Skirt: Adrienne Vittadini, via TK Maxx. I think this is remixed. Bangles: Topshop. Lace Tights: Vintage Mary Quant, sealed original package, thrifted. I'm pretty sure these tights are something very close to my actual age. And they're a size Tall, and you know, whatever counted as 'tall' in the mid-60s was clearly a hell of a lot shorter than I am, but they do fit. Just. Really great construction on these things, though (a cotton/nylon blend), they're incredibly sturdy, and I had absolutely no fear I'd rip them when I was stretching with all my might to get them somewhere near my actual waist, as opposed to my hips. Platform Clogs: Michael Kors, remixed. I LOVE these. Comments Permalink colour-blocking thrifted vintage remix
And here's an Edinburgh outfit report: It was super gloomy when we got there, so the traveling outfit I wore is presented over four photos. The photographer was feeling arty and trying to deal with the very low light in the hotel room. Plus, the hotel we stayed at The Scotsman, is located in the building originally built to house the offices of The Scotsman newspaper, and it's basically a Scottish Baronial pseudo-castle, so we had an actual turret, which I found absurdly exciting. The seated photo is me in said turret. Our hotel has a great location, very central, and just off the Royal Mile, so the views from the turret were pretty awesome. This was a very good choice of traveling outfit, even if the jumper isn't doing my figure any favours. It was comfortable, did not wrinkle, looked reasonably smart, and kept me warm. I wore the skirt again, and could have saved myself still more room in my luggage had I known it was going to travel well enough to get a second wearing. It will surprise absolutely nobody to learn that aside from accessories, tights, and boots, this entire outfit is from Gap. Honestly, I do shop other places! Comments Permalink gap remix holidays
We have reservations for the train and our hotel, and it looks like we are headed to Scotland on Friday morning. I'm taking no technology with me, other than my phone and my iPod, and thus, it will go quiet around here probably from tomorrow night until Tuesday evening, GMT. This is the first holiday we've taken in a very long time, and it almost feels weird. This will be my longest break from the interwebs in YEARS, because, seriously, I have not traveled without a laptop in a very long time. I'm kind of looking forward to it. My phone is not Smart, since I keep it primarily for ringing taxis and communicating via text message with my husband, and it's probably ready to start drawing a pension in mobile phone years. Now I'm freaking out about what to pack, of course. I am determined to not overpack this time. I want to get this in ONE cabin-sized bag, plus my handbag. We shall see how successful I am. I'm not doing 30-for-30 this time around, but I am going to attempt to think as if I am whilst packing. Wish me luck! I went on autopilot today. Lots to do, needed to be both comfortable and presentable, and I had to laugh, once I got dressed and then looked in the mirror, because, honestly, if you've been following along for a while, you can see this is just about as quintessentially ME an outfit as you could imagine. This is exactly the kind of thing I default to when it's a day like today, and I just don't want to put much thought into it. This outfit is Ana in every respect, which I shall now run down for you. Ready? It contains thrifted items. It is a soft neutral corduroy (skirt) cardigan (or jacket, whatever; there's a LAYER involved here) tights boots two of the items worn are from Gap I paid full retail for not one single item I am wearing The only missing elements that could make it more me, that I can think of, would be adding a scarf and bangles. I only avoided the scarf today because the weather was mild, and since I wouldn't actually need a scarf, I decided to wear a pendant. So, if you're up for commenting, please reassure me that I'm not the only person with a uniform look she defaults to when creativity is not on that day's menu. And, if you do that, tell me what your personal uniform is. Details: Cardigan: Gap Tee: Gap Necklace: Mysterious key found in our house when we moved in. My theory, which I've mentioned before, is that if I can find the door it fits, I will locate Narnia. Remixed. Belt: Thrifted. This came with a different skirt, originally sold by Next. Skirt: Crew Clothing Co., thrifted, remixed. Tights: John Lewis, remixed. (I think these are John Lewis, anyway) Boots: Aralia, Duo. I do believe Duo has a shop in Edinburgh. STOP ME BEFORE I BUY BOOTS AGAIN. Shopper: I am kind of embarrassed to admit this, but it's Louis Vuitton, and it's thrifted, and it's actually authentic. I am SO not a Louis Vuitton kind of person, and had no idea it WAS Louis Vuitton until I picked it off the peg and started looking at it. I just liked the bag, particularly the checked print and the braided straps, and since there was no nasty, screaming logo to tip me off, I really had no idea at first. 1 note Comments Permalink thrifted remix my corduroy fetish
I got your Breton stripes right here. I love stripes, so I was all over this: I'm pretty sure I've held forth on my love of stripes before, and how it's as if I've finally grown up enough to not give a toss about things like whether or not I "should" be wearing horizontal stripes. Of course I should — I LOVE THEM. Would I deny my love of polka dots? Or plaid? No, I would not. Details: Striped Shirt: Hobbs, thrifted. Cardigan: Marks & Spencer, thrifted, remixed. Skirt: Topshop, thrifted. Tights: Primark. More of those super-opaque black Primark tights, I am in LOVE with these things. Boots: Elba, Duo, remixed. Bangles: No clue, have had for ages. I have an immense collection of cheap bangles, and they come from all over. Comments Permalink everybody everywear thrifted breton stripes remix
Another lovely day, weather-wise. It can't last forever, but it's a relief to be getting a bit of sunshine at the moment. I am prone to the winter blues, and getting some actual sunlight helps a lot. I'm finding this blog really helpful in that, as well, since it inspires me to make an effort, and, shallow though it may sound, looking smart does improve my mood. Something else that improves my mood is a having a high proportion of thrifted clothing in my daily outfit, as I do today: Cashmere cropped cardigan: Boden, thrifted. I got this, and another Boden cardigan (although the other one is just very soft and lovely wool, not cashmere) in utterly perfect condition, from my local Oxfam shop for three quid each. Of the many reasons I love thrifting so much, you can put "buying cashmere for small change" high on the list. Embroidered skirt: White Stuff, thrifted. This is a company I'd not heard of until I bought this skirt at my local YMCA charity shop, and I'm very impressed with the quality of this lined skirt. Tights: Marks & Spencer. They look teal, but the packaging called them "kingfisher," which I like better. They match some of the embroidery on the skirt perfectly. I LOVE when that happens. Boots: Kirov, Duo, remixed. Oh, and I did cut my bangs today. Shorter than I usually go on my own, but I'm rather pleased with it, and glad I was bold with the scissors. The rest of my hair looks incredibly flat today, for some unknown reason, but I wore a beret when I went out, so it's all good. Comments Permalink thrifted remix
Casual Sunday. No contact lenses, just a quick blow-dry of the hair, some quick, light, make-up application, and into comfort clothes. This Sunday, however, thanks to Allison and her snazzy scarf-tying video, I had big fun with a newly-thrifted scarf. This is a really great way to tie something pashmina-sized, and I'm glad to add it to my sadly limited repertoire. Mostly I am a wrap-and-go kind of girl. Details: Velvet blazer: From Urban Outfitters' Urban Renewal line. Definitely vintage, definitely about a size too big, but I don't care; I got this baby for less than 15 quid, and it's exactly the right weight for wearing on an exceptionally mild winter's day. Scarf: Accessorize, thrifted. I put in a close-up shot of it, and it could just be my crappy netbook's crappy screen, but I'm not sure if you can see the very subtle tone-on-tone pattern or if it's just a big blob of grey. Jumper: No label, thrifted. This is colour-blocked and striped in red, grey and black. The red is all on the upper body and the arms, so alas, you can't see that part, due to the scarf and the jacket. I really, really like this jumper, though, so I will wear it again soon, with nothing covering it up. Jeans: The ubiquitous Premium Skinny, Gap Outlet jeans, oh-so-very remixed. I have never owned a pair of jeans I love more than these. It only took 43 years to find my perfect jeans! Never give up hope, people, but be prepared to search your entire life, heh. Socks: Dunno. These are grey knee-highs, all scrunched down. Boots: Ancient, remixed. Shopping bag: Lucky Brand Jeans, via TK Maxx. This has many useful pockets inside.

Gloomy, somewhat rainy, and pretty warm today. The spouse punked out on day tripping anywhere, but he did seem keen on having a fairly extensive photo session before I headed out, thus, today's photos. As for me, I had a good old stroll down Bold Street in Liverpool, passed some time in a lovely coffee shop on Church Street, and then picked up some produce and came home. The change of plans was fine with me, as I very much enjoy solo wanderings, and my husband very much enjoys not trying to be patient while I dig through every vintage and charity shop on Bold Street. Details: Coat: Laura Ashley, thrifted, remixed. Dress: H&M, remixed. I am so glad to be wearing this again, after its first appearance in the No Repeats Challenge. I am also so glad I got over my fear of horizontal stripes. Tights: Primark Boots: Yes, those boots. Elba, Duo. Remixed. Comments Permalink thrifted stripes remix
Friday, yay! We're allegedly day tripping to Chester tomorrow, or, if it looks like rain, just over to Liverpool, so perhaps we'll have a super exciting location shot, although I can make no promises. I will have the house photographer with me, though, so the odds are good. Today, I just wanted to alleviate all of the GREY and BLACK and GLOOM, so I dug out this yellow cardigan. It's very finely knit merino wool, and I had to change the shirt I was wearing under it at first, since it had puffy-ish sleeves, and they looked weird and bunchy under the cardi. This probably wasn't the best outfit for more bra-shopping, but I muddled through, and I am delighted to overshare the fact that I am now happily one more cup size down, and into the non-extended cup sizes at M&S, glory be. Details: Scarf: I can't tell you much about this scarf except that it's a medium square, silk, has hand-rolled edges, and I picked it up off the clearance table at TK Maxx some time ago, primarily because I liked the colours. Cardigan: Esprit. V-neck tee: Gap Outlet. This was 99p! It's a super-thin layering tee, and god, I wish they'd had more colours than the two I got. Belt: Vanzetti, remixed. Grey corduroy skirt: Gap. Most of today's outfit comes from Gap or Esprit, and I swear to god, it's like being in high school again, in terms of where my clothes come from. If there were a Benetton shop locally, I would probably hit the mid-80s midwest trifecta. Tights: M&S Boots: Duo, remixed. 2 notes Comments Permalink remix my corduroy fetish
