Raiding Bella's Closet

Well, it has happened! Twilight has invaded the teen fashion world with flannels, henleys, thermal shirts and hiking boots, it's literally like raiding Bella's closet.

I was shopping at Tilly's with my daughter yesterday and everywhere I turned it was racks and racks of grunge like attire, I thought for sure that Chris Cornell or Eddie Vedder was going to tap me on the shoulder and tell me it was actually 1992. I mean I like the grunge look, but, the looks is just too sloppy for someone my age (just my opinion).

I actually met my husband in the fall of 1992 and I was completely submerged in the look, complete with thermals (worn with cutoffs--ghast!) and purple Chuck Taylors. I remember my mid-west, MIL-to-be freaking out after I arrived in Cleveland with my "underwear" on the outside of my clothes (this has gone down in family history).

And, now fashion repeats it's self with Bella Swan at the helm as the reluctant, grunge fashionista.

The Urge to Purge

No, no, no, I am not talking about bulimia or anything such. I am writing about my sudden urge to connect with other interesting women (more recently ones that have a mutual celebrity crush) and purge my everyday erratic, weird and sometimes unappreciated thoughts.

With that said, I am opening my blog to be more of message board of sorts, where I will add some weird anecdotes and possibly some pictures and comments can be unlimited, unfocused, and undilluted.

I chose the name, A Life Less Mediocre, because it suits why I love to write on the internet. I live the quinessential, California mom life and blogging allows me time to myself and a life away from the ordinary.

So, post some thoughts of your life less mediocre, what gets your gander? Mine are the Twilight series, Rob Pattinson, dreams of traveling, vegetarianism, indie films, the list goes....
