So I’m typing this from my bright and sunny room at Swat right now. I like the location of our room, but with the window open I hear EVERYTHING outside, which means that I got up at about 8ish even though I went to bed really really late at night because there are already people [...]

Gingham, old and new
Posted in Art & Fashion on August 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Oh dear oh dear I should really consider limiting my time at the computer–it is making me indulge in some serious retail therapy…
So I had been eyeing those vintage-inspired one-piece swimsuits from Urban Outfitters since I first got the early Summer catalog. I especially liked the Lolita-meets-picnic-ness of these Lux gingham swimsuits.
Now that they’re on [...]
America’s Best Dance Crew – 39 million votes, really?!?!
Posted in Life on August 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last night I watched the finale of ABDC 2 on MTV, taking a break from the Olympics. Apparently 39 votes were cast–that’s almost twice as many as the number of votes cast by 18-29 year-olds in the 2004 presidential election! I guess texting in your vote is easier than going to a voting center though…
Anyways, [...]
Re-mix vintage shoes, act fast!

I really feel like I am doing the good samaritan thing here by posting this. A pair of re-mix vintage shoes just went up for auction on ebay today. They are the same ones that I posted about yesterday, but in a black/white color combination. They just so happen to be my size, but I [...]
Is it Fall already?

Because it sure felt like it when I woke up this morning. It was cool and breezy and less than 60 degrees, and even though the high was still 80, I felt like I could throw on some tights, a shirt dress, and my riding boots. Unfortunately, I packed away all of my Fall clothing [...]
Fall Fashion Wishlist 2008
Posted in Art & Fashion, Life on August 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »
This is my 100th post! Isn’t it funny that one of my first posts was a very similar fall fashion wishlist last year? Not much has changed in terms of my taste I guess…I’m still craving those beautiful rich jewel tone colors, but I’ve also grown very fond of neutrals too–brown, tan, greys in varying [...]
10 days?!?!?!
Posted in College, Life on August 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Where did the summer go? I feel like it was just last week that I had this sinking feeling that every week was just going to draw on and on and that school and fall weather would never come. But now it’s officially 10 days before I move back to school and, well, I don’t [...]
Ladies Schwinn World Sport Road Bike – SOLD!
Posted in Life on August 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Remember that post I had a while back about that little Schwinn that I bought? Well, I just bought a bike that is a little better suited for me today (a Bianchi Premio), so I’m putting it up for sale. Here’s the picture again:
I’m selling it for $75. Really small frame size with 24″ wheels [...]
Out with the old, in with the new!
Posted in Art & Fashion, College, Life, Movies on August 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
So I’ve acquired lots of new stuff the past couple of weeks. First there are these jelly gladiator sandals that my lovely friend Eliza sent me in the mail. I know everyone’s crazy about this whole gladiator sandal trend right now, but quite frankly, I just think these are a lot of fun and are [...]
