If there is one thing I like more then a comfy, soft <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/base-range">Base Range</a> bra... it's a skank-nasty, meshy, see thru, meow meow, nipples galore number. Not because I want to show the world my nipples... quite the opposite actually. They are just really fun to wear. So long as you know your shirt isn't going to nip slip you, I absolutely love a meshy or lace-y bra sneak peak with one of my T by Alexander Wang tanks.

If you're not into intimates that are the same color as my soul, you can always go <a href="http://bit.ly/18woQzn">cutsie pink</a>... but I typically don't, as it doesn't suit my skin tone. But!!!!! I would probably make an exception for this EXPENSIVE, LUXURIOUS call girl to the rich and famous get up from Agent Provocateur. This trifecta: Gloria <a href="http://bit.ly/1GzokQ1">Bra</a> ($250), <a href="http://bit.ly/18wpUmY">Brief</a> ($190), and <a href="http://bit.ly/1BkDy8h">Suspender</a> ($250) is WHOA.<br />

<br />
I went to <a href="http://bit.ly/1wrIbIh">Journelle</a>, otherwise known as <i>boob mecca</i>, to browse around and see all my bra week picks in the flesh. We started to debate the salesperson on our sizing and <a href="http://www.thesimilarish.com/">Haley</a>, not believing what this lady was selling, opted to get measured. I wasn't about to try anything on, but then I got curious... <i>"measure me, tooooo,"</i> I shouted while running into their dressing room already sans shirt.<br />
<br />
And that's precisely when my mind was blown to smithereens.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I am <b>not</b> a 34A. I am, in fact, a big boobied lady measuring in a whoppin' 30C.<br />
<br />
C!!!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">C!!!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>What da fuck?</i><br />
<br />
Are you as confused as I am? Because the visual size of my boobs is literally the molehill. Not the mountain. How can I be a C?! I called Ryan to inform him of the news and he laughed at me, told me I was definitely not a C and called bullshit on their measuring tools, and then made some joke about going to the dick store to get measured and turns out he's 2ft long. <i>He's on time out right now.</i><br />
<br />
Apparently I, like most women of the world, have no concept or understanding of how bra sizing works. [ But I also want to make the note that I think this was my bustiest point of the month, the red wave was impending; so I bet I'm most accurately a 30-32B in daily life. Either way.. bonkers. ]<br />
<br />
<i>Cut back to the Journelle dressing room, post size announcement: </i>There I was, incredulous. So I ran around the store looking for 30Cs to try on and low and behold they all fit <i>perfectly</i>. <br />
<br />
So, I walked out of there with <a href="http://bit.ly/1wrIbIh">a new lil pretty friend from OnGossamer</a> (which looks 100x better and satin-ier and mesh-ier on than online) and a little more sashay in my strut:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tY1o4Jv6MAk/VPC4uWLMD_I/AAAAAAAAGIA/_Kod2swSVqM/s1600/ONG014751_black_PD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tY1o4Jv6MAk/VPC4uWLMD_I/AAAAAAAAGIA/_Kod2swSVqM/s1600/ONG014751_black_PD.jpg" /></a></div>
Now, if you are as confused about the whole bra sizing world as I am, please reference the underbelly of the internet, Reddit, which truly does have a subreddit for literally everything: <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits">"A Bra That Fits"</a>. <i>(A big C cup thank you to the girls on Twitter and YouTube for sharing this reference!)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Now if you excuse me, I need to burn the very last remnants of my crappy 34A Gap bras. <div class="blogger-post-footer">

What are the best words to describe this bra set? <i>HOLY, FUCKING, and SHIT seem very appropriate. </i>I mean, I look at it and I immediately regress into the cartoon character who sees a pretty lady and has their eyes pop out of their head while they shout: <i>A-WOO-GA A-WOO-GA! </i>It combines all of my favorite things: straps, high risk nipple exposure, highwaisted underwear, cutouts, and mesh. <br />

For bras when you're not really ready to look like you're trying to buy cute bras because you JUST met that guy off tindr and don't want him to think you care <i>that much</i> and it's not like you're planning when to introduce him to your parents or anything ...or you just like cute bras!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Simple, but interesting shapes. A little more skin. Up the strap count, etc...<br />
<br />
Nude's bras were already spotlighted during <a href="http://www.chelseawears.com/2015/02/lets-get-intimate-soft-lil-basics.html">Part 1 of this series</a>, but <a href="http://thenudelabel.com/en/bras/02the-cut-out-bra-black-5.html">The Cut-Out Bra</a> (45 euro) was a little too interesting to call a simple lil' basic:<br />

Sportswear is all the rage right now. People are like, <i><span style="font-size: small;">C</span>rossFit this! Pilates that</i>! -- but if you're anything like me, you just want to look active without having to be active. And that's where sportswear inspired bras come in. Throw these on under a loose tank (or wear solo if they are tank-y enough) and all of the sudden you look like a healthy individual who knows what the hell a burpie is. <i>P.S. What the hell is a burpie? Actually, please DO NOT tell me as I don't need to hear 4,000 more pitches about why I should check out CrossFit.</i><br />

Maybe you want more straps and Jetsen-esque styles? Maybe you just like to spend lots of money? Helmut Lang has got ya covered on both fronts.<br />

But, Helmut Lang-esque styles don't have to cost a million bucks. <a href="http://bit.ly/1DQmrfD">Silence + Noises' Payton Asymmetrical Bra Top</a> ($29) is a similar style with a very dissimilar price tag. I wonder if you could wear it backwards, I almost think I prefer it that way!?<br />

People, rejoice! We are in a prime age for lingerie, intimates, and funky bras. A quick browse at basically any *kewl* site out there and it is chalk full of interesting shapes and super strappy futuristic bras. And, as a long time lover of bra, side bra, and strap displaying (why is that so looked down upon..?!), I am here to guide you through my favorite basic (not in the
pejorative basic bitch sense, oh how they have hijacked that word!) to the AYE CHIWAWA. I would like to preface all of this by saying that I am a WHOPPIN' 34A (or B according to the bra measuring ladies but those B's never fit so I'm calling vanity sizing bullshit), so support is literally of no concern to me. If you got tig ole bitties, take all my recommendations with a grain of salt and quit rubbing your big tatas in my face (figuratively, not literally. You can continue to do that latter.)<br />

<i><span style="font-size: small;">DAY 1: SOFT LIL' BASICS</span></i> </div>
<br />
Simple, classic shapes and twists on classics. Solid colors. Everyday wearable. Easy.<br />
<br />
First up we've got a classic from my collection. These <a href="http://bit.ly/19fSDgZ">Kimchi Blue Lace Triangle Bras from Urban Outfitters</a> are cheap ($16), simple, and available in a variety of colors. I have been wearing these for years for those above reasons, but as I grow older I'm looking to explore more interesting bras and my few pairs are starting to fall apart from my years of wear and tear. They have done their job for me, it's time to move on.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
What about a bra that is just slightly classier and meow meow-ier, like this <a href="http://bit.ly/1yyu5EH">Kimchi Blue Anna Colorblock Triangle Bra</a>! This bra seems more mature, modern, etc... than the <a href="http://bit.ly/19fSDgZ">above</a>; and barely costs more ($19.99). Gah, this bra *was* burning a hole in my UO shopping cart... but then it sold out while I was writing this post. So, FUCK. Side note: let me get at those high waisted underpants!</div>

Perhaps you're like, <i>Oh hi yes, a very incredibly rich woman on the phone. I would like to see your expensive wares please. </i>(performed in the voice of Bryan Safi from Throwing Shade -- that's a whole nother blog post) Oh, lady after my own heart... I've got just the thingies for ya!</div>

These <a href="http://bit.ly/19fXSx4">High-Waisted Briefs</a> ($55) are googly heart eyes, especially when paired with their <a href="http://bit.ly/1vrWUCv">Triangle Bra</a> ($80) or <a href="http://bit.ly/1DOPAYx">Classic Bra</a> ($80). These may just be coming to anomie in the future.</div>

<u>Base Range.</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I carry Base Range in anomie and I wear them daily. I am currently wearing and loving the Triangle Bra. In fact, I'm having a hard time taking it off -- not because its hard to take off, but because it feels like wearing a boobie cloud! Their organic bamboo jersey is SO soft. Pick any of the following and you will be satisfied to the fullest. <b>(P.S. I sell all of these Base Range bras in <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/base-range">anomie</a> and we are currently running an intimates promotion -- 30% off all intimates through the money of February with code: 30. So ends my shameless plug.)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Perhaps you like straps that cross in the back? Then the <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/base-range/products/x-bra">X Bra</a> ($60) is for you <span style="font-size: x-small;">[bottom left]</span>! Or maybe you want granny chic support? Hello, <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/base-range/products/soft-bra">Soft Bra</a> ($60) <span style="font-size: x-small;">[top left]</span>! Can I point you to my current favorite.. the <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/base-range/products/triangle-bra">Triangle Bra</a> ($60) <span style="font-size: x-small;">[top right]</span>.

<div style="text-align: left;">
At this point you are probably very over the high waist underwear and you're like, <i>Chelsea, this shit is stupid looking and irrational for daily wear. Show me some real underwear!</i> To which I reply, <i>You haven't seen stupid until you've seen me on laundry day wearing my high waist bell pants with low rise boyfriend jeans.</i> I will admit that I do not, in fact, wear high waisted underwear on a daily basis. But I do love the feeling I get when wearing them. Makes me feel womanly. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the daily wear, you're gonna wanna look no further than <a href="http://bit.ly/19g3qHL">Calvin Klein Invisible Hipsters</a> ($12 each or 3/$30) and <a href="http://bit.ly/1DP6K8h">Thongs</a>. Haley swears by these and <a href="http://halemur.tumblr.com/post/85065612576/my-favorite-things-right-now-aka-things-i-would">posted about them ages ago on her tumblr</a>; so naturally, like any loyal friend and blog reader I blindly bought what she told me to. And now, I am telling you to do the same. You'll thank her and ultimately me. Unless you are our friend Kelsey who was kinda meh about them. I still enjoy a good thong, but these invisible hipsters are just that... invisible. Gone is your choice between VPL or cloth shoved up your butt, the <a href="http://bit.ly/19g3qHL">invisible hipsters</a> are here for you. No VPL, but super cute cheek action when you catch yourself in the mirror and whisper quietly, <i>Someday it'll be a donkey booty.... </i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
As a self-proclaimed lover of expensive clothing, I buy <a href="http://bit.ly/1gWZr09">Rag & Bone</a>.. I buy J Brand.. I buy random brands I've never heard of but are really expensive at lil boutiques... but give it a little time and I always come back to the tried and true BDG jeans from Urban.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
They are easy. They are cheap. And they always fit.<br />
<br />
<b>NOTE:</b> Beware the crap washes -- they look inexpensive. Black is always a sure bet. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just bought these to pair with my lonely sad crop tops I never wear because I didn't have the right jeans:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Besides my <a href="http://bit.ly/1gWZr09">Rag & Bones</a>, these are my go-to black jeans:</div>

So. Moral of the story. If you need some simple, easy, no fuss jeans that you don't have to care about and will last you YEARS (I am still wearing my trusty black pair from college); then look no further. But if you love expensive jeans and want a black pair with ripped knees, I LOVE <a href="http://bit.ly/1gWZr09">MY RAG & BONE ONES</a> (but I do think the crotch has a slightttttttttttty wonky fit -- as if they made some room for a tiny lil penis?!)</div>

<br />
<i>Leo</i><br />
<br />
K, end of story.<br />
<br />
I'm not someone who necessarilyyyy buys into astrology, sun signs, and the like; though I enjoy indulging in them every once in a while (mainly when they suit my point -- classic leo behavior, amiright?!). According to my sign, I also like indulging in expensive ass shit. This is true.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.totokealo.com/">Totokealo</a>, <a href="http://www.lagarconne.com/store/index.htm?">LaGarçonne</a> ...and the list goes on. Such beauty, such torture.<br />
<br />
Current obsession?<b> </b><i>Lauren Manoogian. </i><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Current word I have a hard time spelling and wrapping my head around? <i>Manoogian</i><br />
<br />
<i>Manoogian. </i>Why can't my brain say this word properly? It comes out Ma-noon-a-gan and I've stopped trying to correct myself.<br />
<br />
Cut to my usual 2am website browsing. The Trapeze Dress catches my eye:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f-a6Quu39ds/VNxRihpi7NI/AAAAAAAAF80/C2uI4VBG27c/s1600/DLM18BFW14_1_20141029163011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f-a6Quu39ds/VNxRihpi7NI/AAAAAAAAF80/C2uI4VBG27c/s1600/DLM18BFW14_1_20141029163011.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just like that, I fall in love.</div>
<br />
It ticks everything off my list:<br />
<br />
X Slouchy<br />
X Comfy<br />
X Black<br />
X Oversized-ish <br />
X Expensive as f*!$<br />
<br />
[ Yup, that's my checklist of buying stuff. ]<br />
<br />
So, I bit the bullet and spent over $300 on a beautifully knit sweater dress because I'm crazy! <i>Crazy in love...</i><br />
<br />
Well, it arrived about a week later and WAS TOO FUCKING SMALL. Not because I didn't size myself correctly, but literally too small in the sense that it must have been a Petite (which they don't even offer so wat da fuk?!) that somehow got marked as a Small because the measurements were all off and that girl in the picture above is wearing a Small and about 5 inches taller than me and it barely covered my 5'4 butt.<br />
<br />
TRAGEDY! I refused to listen to the universe's sign that I did not need to own this dress and contacted LaGarçonne for an exchange. It's currently en route back to them and a new one will be sent out to me ASAP. Wearing it is like dancing around a comfy little cloud and I refuse to pass that up.<br />
<br />
So, until I can sit around in my comfy sweater dress 24/7... let's take a moment to drool over all things Lauren Manoogian:<br />

Where have I been!?!<br />
<br />
Running a global* <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/">business</a>, that's where!!! (*very small and tiny)<br />
<br />
So... what's happening at HQ you ask? Or didn't ask? Well, Haley, besides being my super awesome friend and shop model, has now become my super super generous friend who gives up her Sundays to come to <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/">anomie HQ</a> and run the biz with me all day. It's a huge help; but most importantly, it's fun as all hell. Graphic design, rebranding, photoshoots, workspace decor planning, outfit trying on, cuddling puppies, financial planning, to-do list making, more cuddling puppies, and other super professional stuff.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>2/1/15</b></u></span><br />
<br />
<b>GOAL: </b>Take dopeeee product/almost lookbook-y type shots<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>INSPIRATION: </b>SSENSE, Zara, Totokaelo, etc...<br />
<br />
<b>OUTCOME: </b>We did pretty damn good. Learned some shite about lights. Gonna be even better next time.<b> </b><br />
<br />
I literally know jack shit when it comes to photography. I feel like I have a very good eye, but lack any and all technical skill. I have never researched what ISO or white balance is and I barely know the settings on my camera besides flash and no flash. The little flash thingie will pop up and I'll be like, "NO FLASH, NOT NOW!" and I will click it down, but then it will pop up again and again like some sort of portable whack-a-mole game until I figure out to take it off the Auto setting and click to No Flash. I'm a regular... [ I don't even know a single photographer's name to insert in here in jest]. <i>Sigh</i>.<br />
<br />
My typical routine is to chase the natural light around my backyard, point, shoot, <i>and be severely disappointed with the results.</i> NOT ANYMORE! I remembered that I had bought 2 softbox lights back when I moved to San Francisco in order to record videos at night (lol, I really put those to good use...). Haley suggested that we use them for our latest photoshoot and thank god she did.<br />
<br />
Look at this magic (magic meaning <i>both</i> the lighting magic and her modeling magic): <br />

Or Am I? <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bP0FZV94g7I/VN3f6qpAQ3I/AAAAAAAAGBA/drsACh5c7lM/s1600/2015-02-13%2B03.27.18%2Bam.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bP0FZV94g7I/VN3f6qpAQ3I/AAAAAAAAGBA/drsACh5c7lM/s1600/2015-02-13%2B03.27.18%2Bam.png" none="" /></a></div>
How do you balance everything?!<br />
<br />
Self-motivation, that's how! And what do I lack? Say it with me now... SELF MOTIVATION!<br />
<br />
Am I too lazy to be a wonder woman and get up at a decent hour, make breakfast, get dressed, do my makeup, go to work, make sure my dog is constantly fed and pee/poop free, get downtown more often to scope out what's in stores, keep up with my friends' lives, post a video and blog post at least once a week, manage all the behind the scenes anomie paperwork/quickbooks/buying/sales/logistics/customer service/photography/office + packing supplies/social media/etc..., drive home, hit up the grocery store, make dinner, grab drinks with friends, watch whatever TV I wanted, catch up on blogs and YouTube videos from all my favorites (literally something I have not done in like 8 months), read magazines, play The Sims and Sim City on my phone (recent, very time-sucky addictions I've adopted this week), and get to bed at a reasonable time?<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Do these seem like doable tasks for a day? OR AM I JUST A SUPER LAZY HUMAN BEANBAG?! I'm going to try and make a 1-week schedule to see how much free time I could actually have if I did all of these things. Will report back. Or won't. Depends on if I add it to my schedule. <br />
<br />
Basically, I feel like a failing human. But not in a "I'm so mad at myself, I'm a failure!" way... more of just a fact of the matter way. <br />
<br />
<u>SCORECARD:</u><br />
<br />
<b>Work</b> - B+<br />
<br />
Overwhelming because it's a moderately sized retail business... and it's been just me doing every little thing. But! Haley just started working with me every Sunday and after a month of this... I can already say she's made a <u>huge</u> difference in organization and productivity at HQ. <i>Employee of the Week/Month/Year!</i><br />
<br />
<b>Life AKA Chelsea, the Human</b> - FAIL <br />
<br />
<u>Personal Upkeep:</u> I don't want to tell you the number of days I just go to work in pajamas (it's just me at the office!) and that the days I've worn makeup fall into a ratio of 1:9 to the days I haven't. I currently have pretty dirty, potentially smelly hair, but it looks good! Excellent dry shampoo to oily hair ration that I couldn't pass up another day with.<br />
<br />
<u>Sleep:</u> My sleep schedule is ridiculous (3-4AM until 10AM-12PM), but I don't mind it. I'm a complete night owl -- clock hits 7PM and all of the sudden I feel like my day has started! Nevertheless, you just feel meh about sleeping in and the daylight passing so quickly.<br />
<br />
<u>Living Space:</u> My apartment is a mess and I am running in the low single digits on backup underwear. My fridge has expired milk and really old leftover Little Star Pizza. Ryan and I both just really suck at grocery shopping, cooking, and all other things adult.<br />
<br />
<b>Boyfriend</b> - B+/A-<br />
<br />
I don't know how he would grade me, but he'd probably rank me lower than this because he hates the aforementioned sleep schedule I have adopted.<br />
<br />
<b>Dog</b> - B+<br />
<br />
He's not dead, he eats 3 meals a day, snuggles 24/7, and plays with other dogs 4-5 days a week... but he is overdue on some shots. Ya win some, ya lose some.<br />
<br />
<b>YouTube</b> - FAIL.<br />
<br />
I mean, it's a pretty obvious fail. How many videos have I made in the past year? I think you can count them on 2 hands. And if not 2 normal finger amount hands, definitely 2 deformed hands with too many fingers.<br />
<br />
<b>Blog</b> - FAIL<br />
<br />
Please see <b>YouTube</b> section above. <br />
<br />
<b>Friends</b> - B+<br />
<br />
I have friends that I see! But not all of them frequently enough and I am still borderline awful at answering texts.<br />
<br />
<b>Family</b> - A<br />
<br />
I see em all the time now. No need to improve. Baby's first A!<br />
<br />
<u>CONCLUSION:</u><br />
<br />
I think I am doing okay (?) managing the outer areas of my life, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty of taking care of myself: eating 3 balanced meals a day, getting some exercise, doing laundry, and enjoying my hobbies... I'm either too lazy to do em or there isn't enough time in the day to fit it all in. Luckily, I'm self-aware enough to realize that I'm lazy, so... is it too late to make a New Years Resolution? <br />

<b>A seed has been planted. </b><br />
<br />
Someday, hopefully, I will open a boutique (though I hate that term --
how about just "shop"?) in San Francisco. It's been a secret dream of
mine and life is too short not to follow your dreams. Do what you love,
not what you think you love or what you think you should do or what your
family wants you to do (though I never did listen to the latter). If
nothing else has come out of my 8 months of free time post-grad, that is
it. Oh, just listen to this. I have one minor brush with cancer and I'm
sitting here waxing poetic about what I truly want out of life -- what a
cliché!<br />
<br />
<b>Re: shop name.</b> God, endless brainstorming. Do you know how hard
it is to find a simple, one word shop name that sounds chic, yet
unpretentious at the same time?! For a while I was thinking "hanger"
with the shopfront logo being a giant iron hanger, but in this day and
age you want something that's yours. Something you can actually get a
web address for! After stupidly saying stuff like, "I just want a word
that means more than just a word, like a phrase or something," one
hundred times over, Ryan inspired me to look at the name of different
theories (he's really big on getting credit for that). I immediately
thought back to my classes at SFSU, Villanova, and Penn and decided to
call it <i>anomie (</i>pronounced: anno-me<i>)</i>, lest all those years
of studying criminology and tuition checks go to waste. It's a
sociological term developed by Durkheim, meaning a state or normlessness
or chaos. <br />
<br /> I have somewhat of a vibe
in mind. In my head it's sort of <i>helmut lang minimalism meets industrial edge meets hip, LA independent jewelry designer</i>.
In all, I plan to sell clothes, jewelry, bags, beauty products,
stationary, papergoods, and homewares... and anything else I'd like.
I've got a growing list of amazing independent jewelry designers to
start with and I'm really excited about the whole process.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Online first. </b>Until that brick and mortar dream comes true, I'm planning to start with an online shop (<a href="http://shopanomie.com/">shopanomie.com</a>
-- coming soon) to see if this path is a viable option for me. As I
said, I've got a long list of jewelry pieces I want to sell, many
of the pieces I own and love already. For the first while, I will stick
to jewelry, accessories, and other smaller items. Clothes will come in
time. I'd been waiting until the new calendar year started to file with
the state to
establish my LLC, get a tax ID, resellers license, open a company bank
account, and the rest of the necessary legal and logistical start
your own business type stuff. My dad started his own businesses and has
been
self-employed since before I was born, so naturally I'm picking his
brain during this process to ensure I don't "fuck up," to put it gently.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I want to be as eco-friendly as possible in the process, so I've already
found all the bulk mailing, packaging, and gift wrap supplies I'll need
made exclusively out of recycled paper. In my head, I envision every
jewelry item mailed in a brown box with a stamp of the store's logo and
some thin brown string wrapped around it and everything else wrapped in a
tissue paper with string and a tied on card with the logo stamped on. I
always love when I order things from online retailers and they come
thoughtfully wrapped and I definitely want people to feel that when they
order from <i>anomie</i>. Handwritten thanks yous with every order. An obvious care taken with each package. That whole deal.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm moving back to California in March and will be going full force with
it then (and possibly get work in boutiques for experience). Until that
time, I will be consumed by meticulous planning and painful biting of
my tongue. The online shop is pretty much finished and I just
desperately want to have some inventory to post and to set it live. For
an incredibly impatient person, this aspect has been the most
challenging. Impulse control is not my forte.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm excited for further researching designers, visiting trade shows, and
finding amazing pieces to offer. Though I don't have professional
experience in buying or merchandising, I know I can be successful at
this. This is what I love. And it's perfect for me. I wanted a mix of
creative and more business-like work. I am a creative person (though,
I'm starting to question that given the best adjective I came up with in
the last sentence was "business-like" to describe more logistical
work), but I don't want to solely be focused on creative things. I'm a
business minded and right-brained person, but I don't want that to be
the only thing I do. I really love paperwork (inventory, reports,
etc...), marketing, and other aspects unrelated to the actual fashion,
so I know I can handle the behind the scenes of running a shop. I can do
taxes and pick out interesting necklaces. 21st century HBIC. I think I
will find being a shop owner/girl to be a very personally fulfilling
career (can I please put HBIC as my title on my business cards?!); and
naturally, I'd love to have a place to get dressed up to go to everyday
(with no dress code!). Dexter would also love to be shop dog. We've just
got to work on that whole barking at strangers thing first though. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Big ideas. </b>Some day, down the road, I'd even love to have my own
clothing and jewelry line of the same name as the shop and work on
collaborations with various artists to fill the store. You know what I'd
some day die over: <a href="http://clarevivier.com/">Clare Vivier</a> x
anomie. Just die. Collabs would be amazing to explore; I have a lot of
design ideas, but sadly lack the skills and knowledge to execute. Very
frustrating. Regardless, I plan on taking classes and doing a lot of
self-teaching to get to that point with metalwork, paper/letterpress,
Photoshop/Illustrator, jewelry making, sewing, and other creative
ventures.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stranger things have happened.

I wasn't paying much attention to the steps because I love to watch cuts and color done on other people in salons... so, she first did my 7 week grown out roots (image below), I sat under heat for a while, washed that out, then she did something on the roots, then put that through the lengths, I chilled with that in, washed all that out, then something all over, I sat with that in, and then shampoo and conditioner! </div>

<br />
One fateful day, a few months ago, I got an email from Shea (soul sunday's co-creator) asking if I would like to try any of their products for consideration at anomie. Um.... YES! Their products sounded wonderful, their packaging was clean and beautiful, and I'm a sucker for facial mists. <i>Done, done, and done. </i><br />
<br />
After receiving a selection of products I tested away and fell in love with, spoiler alert, all of them. The facial mist was refreshing and did not leave my skin feeling tight, the coffee scrub woke up my senses and left my skin nice and smooth, the ricewater cleanser gently cleared my skin... it was all good. I poured over their product line and picked out 10 different items to stock (there's much more I want to carry, still!) and further explore:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/soul-sunday/products/ricewash-facial-cleanser"><b>Ricewater Facial Cleanser</b></a> -- As I said, I really enjoy this gentle cleanser. It's silky feel is an interesting texture I had never experienced in a facial cleanser before! <br />

</ul>
<br />

<br />
<b><a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/soul-sunday/products/florence-coffee-scrub">Florence // Coffee Scrub</a> </b>-- A personal favorite.

version of lavender that naturally aids in the soothing of irritated and
sunburned skin and helps heal wounds and fade scars</li>

organic rosehips. Blended with rose, evening primrose, and neroli
blossom for a facial oil rich in nutrients and fatty acids that fight
skin aging, encourage cell turnover, and fade scars. I've been very keen on facial oils around my eyes (I'm desperately trying to quell my growing crow's feet) and think this one will be my new staple after I use up my argan oil.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/soul-sunday/lip-balm"><b>Positive Seeds Lip Balm in Minty, Rose Vanilla, and Green Tea</b></a> --
Very moisturizing due to their base of organic coconut oil and shea
butter... each lightly scented with essential oils. Biodegradable
packaging, to boot!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/products/the-pits-natural-deodorant"><b>The Pits // Natural Deodorant</b></a> -- An all-natural deodorant cream fragranced
with french lavender and geranium (it smells REALLY good). Aluminum-free, hell yeah. I am really trying hard to cut down my aluminum intake by using natural deodorants and was fully intrigued by this scented cream! Quick and easy to rub on after a shower or washing ya pits for the day! Mine feel freakishly soft at the moment.<br />
<ul>
<li>// <i>Organic Coconut Oil</i> - nourishes while being naturally anti bacterial and antifungal</li>
<li>// <i>Shea Butter</i> - soothes and softens delicate skin (think Dove commercials, where they are always talking about how mean we are to our armpits)</li>
<li>// <i>Arrowroot Powder</i> - a natural deodorizer</li>
<li>// <i>French Lavender Essential Oil</i> - a natural
anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. </li>
<ul>

inflammation and healing, so it is perfect for sensitive underarms
suffering from razor burn</li>
</ul>

help prevent body odor and a coveted floral oil for skincare (helps heal wounds, promotes cell regrowth, and fades scars and spots)</li>

I Rented a Céline Bag (Plus, 15% off Bag Borrow or Steal Coupon Code!)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you saw my triumphant return to YouTube this week, there was no avoiding my blabbering on <a href="http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/invite/FL4J3B7864K9">Bag Borrow or Steal</a>. Sparked by <a href="http://racked.com/archives/2014/09/23/bag-rental-rent-the-runway-bag-borrow-steal.php">my friend Carlye's article on Racked</a>, I opted to throw money out the window on a Céline Trapeze rental.... and the rest was history.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love <a href="http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/invite/FL4J3B7864K9">the service</a> and think it's great for someone who knows he/she can't afford to commit to one bag he/she might get sick of in a few months (AKA me) or someone who simply will never be able to afford a Celine bag (also me). When I think about my insane San Francisco rent, I just can't rationalize saving up all that it takes to own a bag that I can't guarantee I'm going to shit my pants over in 4 months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And, thankfully, once I read their FAQ (because who bothers to read that before you make a potentially dangerous purchase, right?!) I learned the insurance cost is included in the rental and you are actually in the clear if the bag gets a little fucked up... you just can't make a habit of ruining bags or else they cut you off. <i>Exhale</i>. That eases a lot of my anxiety :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Bonus: In honor of National Handbag Day (lol) 15% off <a href="http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/invite/FL4J3B7864K9">a buy or borrow</a> with promo code <b>15NHD2014</b>!</div>

Something about the special texture of the jewelry (due to
being carved out of wax and then cast in metal) combined with the beautiful
designs just hits home and *wows* me. I'm basically obsessed (#fangirl) and when I went to their showroom in NYC during market week to see pieces from new and past collections in the flesh, I <u>really</u> had to contain myself. The phrase kid in a candy store has never been so applicable in my life... handling, trying on, and just being surrounded by Odette NY was heaven for me. There are so many<i> gorgeous pieces</i> in the works and narrowing down to the ones I will be ordering next is painful. Really painful. Choosing a favorite child painful. If I had the budget to get it, it would ALL be at anomie.<br />
<br />
My friend Haley, the resident dime piece/stone cold fox model for anomie, had a creative day with me at HQ yesterday and we shot a bunch of pieces from the store -- from the <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/anomie-exclusives/products/tank">HDH x anomie Edie top</a> to <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/gamma-folk">gamma folk necklaces</a>. But! Some of my favorite shots were the ones we took of <a href="http://www.shopanomie.com/collections/odette-new-york">anomie's current Odette NY offerings</a>:<br />
