One Ring To Rule Them All

by //

Kenneth Cole New York Ring

You guys, I found it. The One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Don’t tell me I’m the only dork who likes that movie.

Anyway, isn’t this thing amazing!? I seriously want it NOW. I’ll be so cool with it. I think it’ll add an edge to my style and I already wear gold and silver, so this will be a perfect addition! It’ll totally add a new cool element to my look. I’ll be more popular with this ring. My hair will grow faster and look shinier. I can wear it with everything—cocktail dresses, t-shirt and jeans, shorts, a jumpsuit . . . I totally need it!

Now, if I just had 40 bucks to spend on a ring…

Have you guys heard of The Moth? Well, I hadn’t until my grade school friend decided to be part of Moth Up March here in STL. We (Anna, Katie, Gertie and I) got to see her at the legendary Blueberry Hill tell her story of how she delivered her baby in the backseat of her car (it’s pretty funny actually). And then we got our pictures taken at an old-timey photo booth with black and white photos! So fun! Maybe I’ll scan those and give you a peek. It’s pretty hard to fit four people into one of those little booths tho. We all have at least one picture where we’re making a weird face or where our face is cut out all together. Ha! But so much fun.

So, what have you been up to? Do any fun local things lately?
