And even the last of the brown-eyed babies see that the cartoon king has a tattoo of a bleeding heart

Met up with my friend Sam today for a quick dinner and even quicker photo session. He recently bought a vintage burberry coat for SUPER cheap (I'm still jealous), but it was a bit way too long (think bathrobe). He just got it back from the tailors the other day and now it's super fly.













After walking around campus, we sought refuge at the campus starbucks and just messed around with my camera settings and such.

I'm going to speak in bullet points now because I have lost the little bit of coherency that I had because of finals week.

- My hair is definitely in an awkward stage and I have NO idea what to do with it.
- Seeing Rooney this friday and Passion Pit next month. Fuck yes?
- Yes, I actually carry that huge shiny backpack to class
- I tried eggnog for the first time this week. I thought I liked it at first, but I realized that it got disgusting fast.
- I'm obsessed with these velvet leggings (pictured) from UO. I've worn them three days in a row. Definitely getting my hands on the blue pair.
- It gets dark WAY too soon
- Cobblestones will be the death of me (even in flat shoes)
- Acquired a vintage fur collar from ebay that I am absolutely IN LOVE with. Will show in next post.
- I am so broke it hurts

How is everybody?

Images floating around in my mind.

I have just recently obtained photoshop again. Expect to see a crap load of collages come your way.

Now back to work on a 10 page paper on ancient Egyptian taboos. ASf;ihsdlfsdflk.

after dinner stroll

Had an after dinner stroll with Mer in washington square park this evening with the intention of having some photos so that we could adequately update our blogs. Ahaha, it's so nice to have blogger friends in real life.




Mer's sick topshop thigh-high boogs + my topshop x ashish booties. Damn you topshop and your ballin shoe department.

college

one word seems to dominate my life right now: midterms.






regular programming will commence shortly

bologna pastrami salami

Met up with my mother earlier tonight to grab some dinner at the famous Katz's Delicatessen. We were super excited to go because supposedly their pastrami was "the world's best".



For a monday night, the place was actually pretty crowded. I can't imagine what it would be like during the weekend, as its supposedly a major tourist hub.



Mom's corn beef sandwich



My pastrami sandwich - mmmmm so good.

Sign pointing to the table where they filmed "When Harry Met Sally". Somebody was sitting there though :(



Verdict: Pastrami sandwich was pretty good, I admit. Super juicy and still hot when served. The corned beef wasn't as good as the pastrami sandwich. Not the best sandwiches I've ever had, and they are a bit pricey even for nyc standards ($15 for a pastrami sandwich???) but it was definitely worth it for the experience :)

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts. My daily outfit literally consists of jeans + top + leather jacket + scarf + frye boots. Something along the line of this



Not that exciting.

Intending to hit up some sample sales after class tomorrow. I'll report back with my finds :)

I'm infatuated with my newly painted nails. Me and some of my hall mates had a nail-painting party in the hallway the other day (how girly of us), and I opted for this obnoxious violety-purple with a glitter topcoat. Very adolescent/pre-teen, no? I'm kind of obsessed and throughly converted. I don't know if I can ever go for non-glittery nail polish again. I'm thinking of channeling Dorothy's ruby red slippers next.

Kind of in love with this sequined motorcycle jacket that I got a Zara. I've been shopping too much lately. My new motto: "buy it ONLY if you LOVE it". It's been working so far, as I haven't felt guilty about any purchases so far. My checking account, however, is dying at the moment.



So sorry the posts have been kind of slow lately. But heres what's going on lately I guess:

-Been buried with massive amounts of work lately.
-Had the worst day EVER today. Stayed at the library until 4:30 AM, finally fell asleep at 5 back at the dorm only to be awaken at 7:30 by a fire alarm caused by some douchebag who decided to bake cookies in the communal kitchen downstairs. Seriously? Had class at 8:00. UGH.
-Contemplating dying my hair a deep, dark brown. Also definitely growing it out, and maybe perming it so that it becomes semi-wavy.
-Gaining weight. The freshman 15 is coming, I can feel it.
-Sleep DEPRIVED. Going to sleep right after this post. Naptime is now fully integrated into my daily schedule.
-Jealous that I haven't spotted ONE celebrity yet. My suite mate bumped into James Franco this morning and held a conversation with him, another friend accidentally walked onto the scene of Ugly Betty while they were filming, and another saw Obama in his car (just to name a few). Wtf, I have the worst luck ever.

-I've also developed a dependency on red velvet cupcakes. Went to Crumbs the other day on 8th street. AMAZING.



My red velvet cupcake. SO GOOD, SOOO GOOD.

Left: My friend's tiramisu cupcake (also amazingly delicious. It had marscapone cream or something of the sort in the inside, much like real tiramisu. Right: My red velvet cupcake


I annihilated that badboy.

These babies are HUGE, like bigger than the size of my fist. They're so good though, I could have easily eaten two. Too bad they're like crazy fattening (mine was 500 calories, whatwhat?)

Okay, I really need to sleep now.

to be young and reckless

Okay I know I haven't posted in FOREVERRR. Sorry! An awesome post will follow soon, I promise :)

Meanwhile, here are some random photos to hold you over, courtesy of my girl Mer
