I have not been myself the past week and a half. We all go through down periods and I think it’s healthy to let it out, and deal and cry….but…I don’t know how to say this gently, so here it is. I need to get back to being a badass. Digging the new dark hair on Ms. Conrad. Badass.
I’ll take a pair of each. Badass.
IF I were to ever get a tattoo…
These chain boots are BADASS. NEED THEM. Damn.
Leighton. Unbeweavably badass.

So here’s a quick example of how I’m bringing badass, back…yeah.

I went to Best Buy over the weekend for something, whatever. I’m wearing a not so bad ass outfit, but more importantly, a not so badass attitude. BUT, I have to tell you that I was wearing a maxi dress and flip flops because it’s part of the story! I usually wear wedges with maxi’s because I’m 5′5 on a good day.

So I’m flip floppin around Best Buy and this HOT guy who works there is staring at me. But, because I’m feeling not so badass, I’m like okwtf is he looking at me for, I must look horrible! (Not a good inner monologue, dolls, I know). But I’m just being honest here. Anyways, he “bumps” into me, smiles a cute smile and, I shoot him down. Want to run away.

Shameful, you guys. Not up to par. It’s not like I go around picking up guys at electronics super stores or anything, but I can usually hold my own and flirt anyone under the table. I’m usually confident-my word is badasscall it what you want, and never let anyone take it away from you. SO this weekend, I’m going to buy my new camera. And I’m going to Best Buy. Maybe “John” will be there, maybe not. Either way, I’m bringing my badass attitude and my self confidence…never leaving home without them again. Oh, and I’m wearing heels. Happy Thursday!! Ya know…you should probably enter my giveaway if you haven’t yet…it’s BADASS. :) XOXO, Liz
Oh, and my site is under going a bit of construction, so bear with me!

I love the theme of this post!! Is that liz hurley in the last pic? Cuz she is, hands down, my favorite bad girl – fuck Lilo!!

8 body and volume, natch. June 18, 2009 at 5:31 am

girllll — so feeling this post. aura has been way off lates — i don't get it. either way, loved the conclusions and your action plan — just like an adorable version of oprah, duh.

if nothing else, this little 'amazing-ness' break you've been feeling just gives undesirables a chance to relish for a minute. we are so the gift that keeps on giving. aha!

p.s. "you go girl" (i know, so early 90's)

9 ...love Maegan June 18, 2009 at 6:16 am

12 LiLu June 18, 2009 at 6:34 am

You are, and will ALWAYS be badass, my love.

But if you need an extra push, Nelly Furtado's "Maneater" helped me through just such a crisis…

13 ♥Aubrey June 18, 2009 at 6:42 am

We all need to show a rebel side now and then.
Bring on the Bad***!!!

14 Pop Champagne June 18, 2009 at 6:57 am

wow. That dude sounds like such a smooth talker. Next thing he's going to say is "I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to." (from Napoleon Dynamite) HAHAHA

yeah I want one of those badass heels too!!

15 LJ June 18, 2009 at 6:59 am

Oh man, I totally bought a new cammy at Best Buy on saturday. And the dude kept trying to hit on me he said if i got the blue camera it'd bring out the colour of my eyes? No sir, black is fine. BAHAH CREEP! anyways i changed my url it's headfirstfearless.blogspot.com

16 Couture Carrie June 18, 2009 at 7:09 am

17 Johnni June 18, 2009 at 7:10 am

That tattoo spot is pretty bad ass. Most girls want somewhere back there, but don't want to be labeled as a 'tramp stamp'. Nice blog. I stumbled across you on Twitter. I'll be sure to check back more!

18 Brunch at Saks June 18, 2009 at 7:23 am

You are SO funny! I am loving all of the bad ass accessories…especially the tattoo and those boots! Gorgeous pic :)

24 Brown Girl June 18, 2009 at 11:49 am

26 Shania June 18, 2009 at 12:06 pm

We all go through that. I just came back from my "not being myself" I hope your doing better. I got an award for you, please check out my blog

27 Dream Sequins June 18, 2009 at 12:55 pm

LOL. I know what you mean about getting back in the Badass frame of mind. I've been feeling a little down myself, but for reasons probably different from yours. Sometimes it's nice to take a break from all your BADASSness for a change. That way when you go back to your bad self, you can appreciate it. All a very abstract way of saying– you go girl. There's light at the end of the tunnel!

28 lbwDESIGN June 18, 2009 at 1:56 pm

once again….i am so inspired to be BADASS!!! Why do we have to be so darn goodie two shoes (is that the right way of spelling it??–if not i kinda like it that way) all the time???
I want a tattoo and chain shoes and dark dark hair while wearing a graffiti shirt!
Have a BADASS day! xxx

29 drollgirl June 18, 2009 at 2:36 pm

31 Jillian June 18, 2009 at 6:04 pm

Is it too soon to tell you I have a girl crush? I apologize for being so forward, that post just made me feel trampy.

32 Allison June 18, 2009 at 6:09 pm

Yes. Yes. Heels are a must! Guys love the way your legs look in heels..so slimming and sexy. I always feel like some sort of hobbit in flats because I'm only 5'1".
Thanks for listening today! You're the best.

33 Keith June 18, 2009 at 6:34 pm

Such a cool post. I loved it. I'm a big fan of badass girls.

34 Keeley June 18, 2009 at 7:10 pm

40 Pen Pen June 18, 2009 at 10:56 pm

:) My BFF, Kaylynn- gets confident in a certain pair of heels- she calls them her "cha cha heels"! :) She's like, "Anything can happen, I'm wearing my cha cha heels!" :)
Make sure ur seen holding a BADASS band's cd in order to be Badass-squared! :)

41 Karen June 19, 2009 at 5:58 am

42 josie(bean) June 19, 2009 at 6:04 am

43 Dexter June 19, 2009 at 9:48 am

I love this post, especially the story with "John" lol! It's clear you've got some inspiration :)

44 WendyB June 19, 2009 at 9:50 am

Speaking of badass, apparently Leighton has a sex tape leaking out!

46 TheBeautyFile June 19, 2009 at 10:32 am

Oh how I love Blair Waldorf….she can do NO wrong in my book!! The lady with the bags is Hanneli Mustaparta, blogger, model, photographer extraordinaire…go to her blog, you will love it!

The second one with the bangs is Jane Birkin from the 70s…

47 Ali June 19, 2009 at 10:49 am

What a badass cuppycake. Ba da da da da, I'm lovin' it!

Why did I say that? I despise McDonald's. Oh well.

48 Tiffany June 19, 2009 at 3:18 pm

I heart you badass or not! (but you are!)

and love your tag on this post "how many times can I say badass in one post" LOL!

49 miky June 19, 2009 at 3:31 pm

osom photos.. i took the 2 i love her blazer:-p

50 Daniel B. June 19, 2009 at 4:37 pm

i need to post you these shoes i found at bergdorff's! LOVELY AND AMAZING! i can't remember if they were prada or ysl but right up your alley :D KICK ASS!

51 nicole addison June 19, 2009 at 9:09 pm

lets see.. im sad that you havent been yourself but only the best go thru those times, itll work itself out i am sure. i had a week like that a few weeks ago and its healthy, you're right. yes, go back and flirt with the cute boy :) let us know how it goes! p.s. im in love with that last pic.. whew!

52 Daniel B. June 19, 2009 at 11:01 pm

p.s…..
you so could carry off a tattoo but like johnni said, not a tramp stamp! how about on your thigh below a butt cheek? or the front on your hip or something, like it could skim the top of where a bikini might go

53 Joelyne June 19, 2009 at 11:44 pm

i know what you mean lovely by our up and down times. totally normal, and it's great to embrace it a little. so good on you for sharing.

life is balanced, so it's only natural. it gives us a time out from the happiness to seek it more, to also appreciate what we have and have a good cry to let out those emotions.

and i know what you mean by wanted to be a badass again. haha i love it.

mwa

54 MizzJ June 20, 2009 at 10:37 pm

Nooo Blair can't have a sex tape?! That's sucky. I didn't even recognize LC in that photo, such a difference! You def need to get some bad-ass shoes, nothing makes you feel like a hot bitch more than some killer shoes.

55 K @ Blog Goggles June 21, 2009 at 2:13 am

Aww, but you are badass! You just need to remember it, 24/7. And for a guy to check you out when you're not looking so hot? That's even more badass than if you were all dolled up.

56 GUGAW June 21, 2009 at 7:16 am

those shoes are delicious x

57 Confessionelle June 22, 2009 at 7:43 am

I love the dark hair on Conrad too. It makes me want to go do something with my hair now.

58 OceanDreams June 22, 2009 at 2:36 pm

You BAD ASS you, lol. This was a great post and loving all of the bad ass pics – perfect pics to go with your post love! Every girl needs to get a little bad ass out of their system now and again, so no worries. I understand. ;)

59 kathleen July 2, 2009 at 12:21 pm

You are BADASS! Love the photos in this post!
