I love the timeless elegance that is exuded by this homonymic (her name is Elena) inspiration's attire, and her delicate gait caused by the constraint of a pencil skirt, and her grasp on her trenchcoat #itsallinthedeets.

A LITTLE BIT OF INSPO...AKA I'M A HORRIBLE BLOGGER

Oy oy oy.... In my defense, I suffered a severe (read: minor) injury to my foot requiring minimal blogging (read: walking) and the wear of an orthotic boot for 4 weeks! Add that to a slightly hectic new job (read: INSANE) and 6pm summer course? Cut me some slaaaack. (please?) No but on a more serious note, I really have to get my game together and stop with these impromptu hiatuses..right? Here's a little quick something to munch on while I dust off my keyboard. I promise I will blog so much that your eyeballs will fall out.
