I had originally planned to upload a few other images, but instead my special USB decided to break and entirely ruin that novel idea! Yes, break as in port. stick. in shambles … how lovely! And, between the countless whispers of, “well, you did back everything up,” from what seemed to be everyone in sight, and a brief sobbing session, needless to say it did not matter at that point!
Sure, I had loads of things backed up, however the files that I really wanted were on said USB. Just before the switchover the wires were in tatters. Yes, it was one of those days! But, the day wasn’t complete crap, after a good calm down I managed to have a worthy IT guy take a look at it and he miraculously collected what he could from it. Watching him in action was quite like a present day episode of MacGyver, and obviously a very hi-tech version.
The same feeling you get when you think you’ve lost your handbag or wallet … you know, that deep belly of heaviness and stomach dropping sensation, sprinkled with high increased heart beats—that’s how this felt.
Since the only thing I could think of afterward involved a shot of something, I decided to pair that concept with a few fashion items that I’ve been loving at the moment. I imagine normal programming will resume shortly, but until then enjoy these inspiring gulps of style.
1. A refreshing basil and mint mojito and Baublebar mint cuff bracelet, 2. Mandy Flats with tassels-Madison Harding and Cranberry Mojitos, 3. Dalmore 18 year old single malt scotch whisky and vintage-inspired drop-waist dress-ASOS, 4. Chained on Love bag-Urbanog and a White Russian. Alternative Probiotics recipe here.
Yes, I could have used that mojito as well at that moment, lol. Thanks for your comment.
Yes, backup everything, haha. I do that and it still happened, but better times are ahead. Thanks.
Thankfully, I was able to get a portion back, but still lost data. But, I guess this post was meant instead. Thank for your comment! xx/M
Ugghhh…. technology!!! How it has us completely dependent on it!
Fortunately, from the ashes has come this lovely inspiring post! 1 & 2 are speaking my language!!!!
Thank you. 🙂
nice post!

Yes, Thank you Jen. I love the cuff too. Mint is just a pretty colour!
Thanks Cee, yes a similar thing happened to my friend at university. It's a horrible feeling. But, so far I was able to get the bulk of things. xo
oh noessssssss, Madison! That's awful. I'm sorry that had to happen to you! I really should be better about backing things up, too 🙁
Sorry to hear your usb broke but I really like your cute post. I wouldn´t mind that cranberry mojito right now 🙂

Oh, I know just how you feel, Madison – once, years ago, right at the end of university term, my brother and his friends downloaded a program that wiped our computer hard drive… which meant all of my end of term essays were lost! I was devastated. A miraculous IT guy managed to get most everything back, but the initial shock was pretty awful.
You managed to get a lovely post together in spite of your set back – I just love that orange dress!
xox,
Cee
I love those inspiring items, dear! esp theidea of pairing it with drinks – looks so cool! I also love the shoes a lot. xx
love this post!

Thanks for your visit sweety, hope your week is going well 🙂
Thank God someone was able to recover the info! I freak out when stuff like that happens. I love the Baublebar bracelet and the bag. I've been obsessed with mint green lately.
oh, interesting, I back things up on another hard drive but this was right before the saving moment! *Definitely back up everything lady!
Thanks Sam! xx
Oh sorry for your tech and USB issue.
Lovely collection of items dear!
the dress is perfect. would love one like that.
I know that feeling all too well! The situation where a mojito or whisky could act as a remedy.

Thanks Daniella! 🙂 All is getting better now… slowly! xo
So sorry about your USB. I don't have all my stuff backed up so the thought of this is already freaking me out. I love the mint mojito and mint cuff and the white Russian.
So sorry to hear what happened:( I think we all know (and been there) what you're talking about. Gad your IT guy was able to salvage some stuff.
Oh wow, that sounds horrible, hope you're alright now. Thanks for visiting.
Thanks! 🙂 Feeling slightly better now. 🙂
This is such a cute idea, Madison – LOVE # 1! 🙂
Those drinks look good! Sorry to hear about your USB drama 🙁 Sounds like you need a drink yourself 😉
Oh no Madison! That's happened to me at work. Very frustrating! Aren't IT guys amazing? They can do wonders girl. HaHaHa I'll take one of those refreshing drinks any day. Hope things get better for you soon doll
Aw Madison, I'm sorry to hear about your USB :-(. I've been there before, except I didn't have an IT guy to help me save even a little bit. Nonetheless, this post is so cute! I love the mint bangle and snakeskin loafers!
Thanks Rocquelle! Well, at least he managed to grab most of the data for me! Have a great day dear! 🙂
oh, sorry, it's the same name of before, not the URL, but the blog's name in case you want to see it – easy: denisesplanet.com
Hope everything is OK soon! I loved the orange dress and the bag (4)! Don't know if you'd remember me, but I had a break from bogging due to a stalker. Scared me… now I'm back with another address! Hope you are doing fine! XXX <a href="http://www.DenisesPlanet.com>Denise<a>
