Back in Black (because I wear a lot of black, go with it)
by Molly Scruggs on Thursday, January 31, 2013
I feel like I always do this. I go away for a while, some times are longer than others. This time it was months..like 5+ months...GUYS! I can't be doing this! I've been reading Rosie's blog religiously and just thinking to myself..why haven't I freakin updated mine like EVER?!
Here are a few random updates:
- Since I last talked to you in May, I've moved from Denton, Texas to Denver, Colorado.
- I got a glamorous job in Insurance (NOT at a fancy schmancy Magazine like I thought I wanted, more on that later)
- I've been through a few boys already and I haven't even lived here for 4 months...NOT more on that later ;)
- I'm now a red head
- I'm having the time of my life!

Whilst visiting with family in the lovely town of Parker, Colorado, my sister and I decided to escape the drabness of moving my parents into their new house to Fort Collins. A quiet little college town, FoCo, so affectionately nicknamed by the natives, boasts many trivial pleasures. We dined on homemade tortillas and queso that was a bit reminiscent of popcorn (in a not so endearing way), then hit up a local Coffee shop for Italian Cream sodas. After our bellies were almost satisfied, we were disappointed to find The Worlds' Smallest Bakery (la Creperie & Bakery) to be closed on Mondays. We were denied sweet cravings such as Macarons and Crepes. In the midst of our sadness, we found a high class bakery that offered a small variety of cupcakes, and decided to settle. Blueberry lemon for me and Red Velvet for Madi. Worth $6.25? Maybe. I'm still mad about the bakery. At least I looked cute though! See the story in an Instagram adventure below.
Cafe MexiCali, Fort Collins, CO. Foodgasm, Popcorn queso (they didn't plan it that way, it just tasted like it)
Peach Italian Cream Soda, Average Joes, Fort Collins, CO
Buttercream Bakery, Fort Collins, Co
We stopped off at the CSU Oval (Where Madi goes to school) for lounging and silly pictures.
A lovely way to end the day.
So I got a text from my friend (who I hadn't heard from in FOREVER) the other day. "Molly, what are you doing tomorrow?!" Ummm I don't have plans but I'm pretty sure my schedule revolves around the new Toddlers and Tiaras I have recorded in my DVR. Instead I said: "Nothing! What's up" The truth was too sad. "You're going to be my model tomorrow"
Oh. Okay. Funny joke. Except it wasn't a joke... I
ended up being a stylist/assistant/model/hair stylist from 630-Midnight, and I enjoyed EVERY minute of it. There wasn't really a theme-- the stylist, Calli, basically took over and made everything as fierce as could be. The photographer, Jelisa, being a badass that she was, snook us all up to the rooftop of a parking garage to shoot. We almost got caught twice, but we looked too professional to scold, so the security officers went their way. It turned out breathtakingly amazing. Here are a few photos behind the scenes of the shoot!
I mean, I won't pretend to be this world class model, but it was SO much fun playing dress up and making funny faces whilst wearing John Lennon specs. I can't wait to see the actual photos! It's for a University magazine called "Method 7 Magazine", here is where you can like them on facebook and patiently await the first issue, which I'll hopefully be in!
So, Coachella music festival in California is coming up, and although we can't ALL go out in our printed jumpsuits (Ahem Dita Von Teese) and see lots of good music amongst a sea of celebatrons, we CAN pretend. I mean, it's called itunes and supplement speakers, folks. For those of us that can actually make it to this year's music fest, here are some inspired looks for you to try.
Pack your backpack and get ready to not shower for a few days, Coachella here we come! Yellow top by Jason Wu and Pink top by Electric Frenchie. See remaining items on my Polyvore. These outfits are easy, breezy, beautiful and super stylish to impress all of those glamourous celebs!
Or maybe you're more like me and you'd rather have on an easy but super cute dress to dance around in. Both dresses are from Electric Frenchie. Click the link to my polyvore above to see complete item descriptions. It doesn't matter what you choose to wear, just promise me if you see Ryan Gosling tell him his soul mate exists and her name is Molly. Ahem.
