So I'm sitting here watching re-runs of bizarre foods with andrew zimern in attempts to hide from the oppressive heat outside (It's 101 degrees outside. wtf). this man eats EVERYTHING. mad props.

Anyway, all I want to buy is classic, comfortable shoes/clothing lately (with a modern twist, of course). Those rachel comey boots are seriously haunting my dreams. NEED.

Also contemplating the thought of dying the tips of my hair turquoise/seafoam green/aqua. Must hold off until after september, as i'm going to be a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding. Don't want her to go all bridezilla on my ass now.

I haven't been so excited about something in a long time. Definitely getting one of these once i get my hands on some money.

bad decisions

Shirt: Vintage, Coat: Ebay, Bag: Vintage Chanel, Hat: AA

So I was emptying out my SD card the other day and stumbled across some drunken/forgotten pictures from march. Many bad decisions were made that night, including but not exclusive to wearing a fur coat in 70 degree weather and a minor accident involving a lighter that led to a burnt finger. Ridiculous.

so good.

an informal reintroduction

Hello blogosphere.





Sheer unitard, Lame tube bra: American Apparel, Shorts: Thrifted DIY, Belt: Thrifted, Flannel Shirt: found

Took some serious time off bonjour adieu in order to mull over what direction to take this blog in. For a while now, I've found that I've been too lazy and uninspired to post anything remotely interesting. I felt guilty posting shitty filler posts, so I kind of just gave up and decided to take a hiatus.

I still haven't figured out what to do, but I kind of admit that I did miss blogging while I was gone. All I know is that blogging for me is first and foremost a hobby. It should be something that I enjoy doing. It sure as hell should not become a chore.

I think its important to remember to not take ourselves too seriously.

Anyway. Here I am posing cheesily in photobooth in front of an impromptu canvas intended for a friend's photography project. Enjoy?

bonnaroo

Just came back from bonnaroo. It was hot as fuck. But soooo worth it.

call of the wild

Mandatory awkward party photo.

Found this tiger print muumuu...thing and conveniently matching fuzzy tiger striped hat at buffalo exchange. Of course I would wear them together. To add insult to injury, I was wearing my jeffery campbell x LF leopard print booties too. It was pretty (excuse the pun) wild.

I'm currently in the midst of the much dreaded time known to all college students around the world as finals. Needless to say, I'm stressed out beyond belief. Had to do some drastic things, like cut facebook from my life for a couple weeks (which, in cyberspace is kind of like a millennium, no?). Needless to say, I'm super stressed out at the moment. Stress - the means to procrastinate = more stress.

So what do I do? Cut my hair of course. Call me weird, but I found it extremely therapeutic. My roommate had to confiscate the scissors from me.

Okay, I know this is totally a filler post (as are most of the posts lately), but I have a sneaking suspicion that my SLR is broken. Too scared to take it to the camera shop to confirm this though. Will do after finals to see what the verdict is.

I have a confession to make. I really (and I mean really) hate flats and/or sandals. I especially hate those boho braided gladiator type sandals that they sell everywhere.

It's not that they're not attractive or anything, it's just that they're so damn uncomfortable and the footbeds are so hard/don't provide enough support. Aren't the point of flats supposed to be for strenuous walking and stuff of the sorts? It might be also due to the fact that I'm a serious wimp, but that's besides the point.

As you can imagine, this makes summer dressing ridiculously and unnecessarily difficult. Just possibly solved this dilemma by buying a pair of velour korkease sandals via ebay. They look super orthopedic and super comfortable. Can't wait till I can pair these with denim cutoffs + a fringy something or another and my newly acquired alex wang-ish dropcrotch sweatpants (not all at once though).

I really need to stop buying shoes and put my money to good (better?) use. Like acquiring another fake ID or something.

loafer mules

I never really was bought on the whole mule/clog trend until I stumbled upon these babies at Zara the other day. They're like the weirdly awesome love child of the miumiu/chanel clogs and the balenciaga platform loafers. I'm cool with that.

lust list

Things I'm feeling for this spring: asymmetrical sheer black jersey dresses, tough boots, florals, 90's, crosses, grunge grunge and more grunge.

nighttime

Walked around, ate some cheap thai food, explored.

creepers at the park

I must admit, I was a little intimidated by these platform wedges when i first got them in the mail (via ebay). However, they've definitely grown on me, --I can't keep them off my feet! Super comfortable and gives me the height that I don't have.

Decided to wear them to the park the other day and got some weird and slightly petrified stares by a group of little girls picnicking next to us. Whoops.

me-ow

Was going to put my name on the waitlist for the ridiculously back ordered (until may, wtf) black seude pixie boots by jeffrey campbell, until I ran into these babies at LF.




I definitely have a soft spot for leopard print anything, so these HAD to come home with me.

Dilemma solved

spring

Took full advantage of the freakishly gorgeous weather (a perfect 70 degrees) by cavorting all around lower manhattan with my good friend Allyson.




Hit up Motorino in the east village after hearing nothing but good things about this little pizzeria.


I kept getting distracted by the mirrored ceiling.



I ordered the much raved about brussel sprouts pizza. The center of my pie was a bit soggy, but overall the pizza was really good. The brussel sprout leaves were light, crispy and salty and paired well with the pancetta. The dough of course was amazing, --soft and chewy.




Allyson ordered the margherita pizza, which was really good as well. Definitely beats your average cornerstore pizzeria.



Ended up doing some sunning in union square. Turns out all of lower Manhattan had the same intentions, --the place was PACKED. Clusters of people all sat around the square enjoying the much-awaited spring weather. Was proposed to by this hansom fellow, who promptly asked me for money afterwards.









Hit up whole foods afterwards, and then went for a bit of shopping around soho. Stopped by LF and bought what could be the most perfect boots ever. Stay tuned.

All in all, a good day.
