If you say the words “Olive Juice,” from far away it looks like you’re saying “I love you.” This is like that. Simply my place to share all of this life I live & love.Tumblr (3.0; @olivethislife)http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/341f4b367122a44abd7d515d9abd06ca/tumblr_mlvh3iQLd41r4hrrzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is advice from the “duh-obviously” category but I still wanted to capture it. The last few years I’ve been trying to upgrade my style from relying too heavily on fast-fashion (aka: cheap shit from forever21 and target.) So I’ve been trying to find the right mix of buying quality items I love and that will last, and blending in some less expensive trendy items. The one thing I’ve struggled with is I know expensive doesn’t equal quality - but I haven’t had a set system for what <em>does</em> equal quality. This quick summary of “fit, fabric, style” is a nice one and easy to remember!</p> <p>(via <a href="http://lifehacker.com/select-the-clothes-thatll-look-best-on-you-with-the-st-482503981?utm_source=feedly">Select the Clothes That’ll Look Best on You with the Style Pyramid</a>)</p>http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/48938075020http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/48938075020Fri, 26 Apr 2013 13:11:42 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/46cf04b65e28968cc17b169d49935417/tumblr_mkne2wPKyP1r4hrrzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>New car!</p>http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/46966402429http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/46966402429Tue, 02 Apr 2013 17:52:08 -0400yearofupgrades<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/454ac752fe0083660e2087441e0dc1f9/tumblr_mkndzsA9L61r4hrrzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>edX - allowing you to major in Life in your free time, for free.</p>http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/46966247334http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/46966247334Tue, 02 Apr 2013 17:50:16 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3345003819af187509a77b8f3a630f11/tumblr_mkbqp3igT61qewacoo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/46516363851http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/46516363851Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:15:58 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/05a662932066d88b15d1e2c79d0ecc4b/tumblr_mk91y9xi651r4hrrzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>lets just say I could write a post titled “how NOT to use a steamer basket”…</p>http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/46313455979http://olivethislife.tumblr.com/post/46313455979Tue, 26 Mar 2013 00:03:44 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/48395300" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.dictatortot.com/post/45851907959/getting-giddy-for-josh-ritter-and-the-royal-bands">thedictatortot</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Getting giddy for Josh Ritter and The Royal Band’s show at the Fox Theater tonight.
