Tribble

I’m a (not so) secret geek. I grew up watching the original Star Trek episodes and I remember the excitement when the Next Generation series started. Of the old series, some of my favorite episodes were The Devil in the Dark (my sisters and I referred to the Horta as the “Pizza Monster”) and The Trouble with Tribbles. I received this fur pouf ring through a swap and it strongly resembles a mini-Tribble. I had better be careful not to feed it.


Jacket, Cami. Sweater, Merona. Belt, Target. Skirt, Mossimo. Tights, Hue. High-heeled oxfords, Isaac Mizrahi for Target. Scarf, Cappel’s. Ring, swap. Hat (pictured below), Charlotte Russe.


I was actually named after a Star Trek character: Lt. Mira Romaine, from The Lights of Zetar episode. I suppose it doesn’t bode well that she was possessed by aliens.

  1. Yay Tribbles! I grew up a Trekkie as well...

    I love the oxfords - I might have to get something similar for my fall wardrobe this year.

  14. I love that picture of your ring, it's so atmospheric. I've never seen Star Trek but this "Tribble" intrigues me. I just might have to check it out...

  15. I love the outfit! I have been seeing a couple of girls around my school wearing this colour combination this week, and the first thing I thought of was that they read your blog.

  16. We called that the pizza monster too! I grew up watching the old series, and was a devoted NG fan.

    Love this outfit - the velvet blazer really pulls all the colours together beautifully. I think this is my favourite.
