hey guys, sorry for being MIA again. it's been such a terrible habit lately, but i promise there will be new updates on the web site soon!

i've been on a buying rampage lately, and it doesn't feel too good at all! my clothesrack is getting crowded again so that means i need to get rid of stuff i'm attached to. i guess that's what happens when you get seduced by $3 sales at old navy.

so i went to new york a few weekends ago. i had my list of stores to hit up but of course there's never enough time to visit them all. i went to a bunch of places but i'll just talk about the ones i actually bought stuff from:

i'd been thinking how cute the bird web site is for quite some time now, so this was one of my top stores to visit. it took a while to get to cobble hill because one of the trains was out of service. we got kind of cranky, but all was well when we set foot into the store. i spent a long time there pretty much trying everything on. i bought these see by chloe pants pictured here:

they're baggy and pleated and cropped and i don't care how "unflattering" people tell me they are. they're very me. besides, this will give me an excuse to buy some cute pumps or oxfords.

i don't think i have to say much about this store except i liked most of what they had. just go to their web site!

i also went to my very first sample sale. it was the third day of the steven alan sale so i thought there would be nothing when we got there. not true at all. there were also plenty of items from other brands such as mayle, mociun, lewis cho, to name a few. i love mayle, but the dresses were not my size. there was so much merchandise it was easy to just grab stuff because the price seemed good. i limited myself and ended up buying a light gray sunshine and shadow mini skirt:


not a purchase just yet, but i'm thinking of buying this vince cocoon sweater coat. it looks really unattractive in all the stock photos i found, but it looks much better in real life. if you like this, try not to buy it in an xs online, ok?


i've also bought a few other things, as well as a skirt i made, but those will be the subject of the next post!

fall/winter shopping

my boss surprised me with a promotion the other day! with a promotion comes extra cash monies, so of course i did the responsible thing and celebrated with some shopping.

oversized v-neck sweater from french connection. mine is black.


frye veronica slouch boots. one of my favorite purchases ever. they make me feel really tough. it's rare for me to find an article of clothing that makes me feel a certain way...


american apparel tri-blend raglan top. i'm obsessed with tri-blend. i bought two of them, one in a size medium, the other in a small. you should get one. it's so comfortable and versatile. my roommate saw me in it and said, "i like your top. it looks like a sweatshirt but it's not."


on a different note, i'm TRYING to buy some hosiery but am having a hard time finding a good pair of tights. i tried marshall's, tj maxx, macy's, etc. but they didn't have any that caught my eye. does anyone know where i can get some quality tights? nice ones. nicer than hue but not as nice as wolford. i like dark colors, wool, and am partial to Calvin Klein and DKNY hosiery.

robot outfit!

do you like how i said "outfit" in the title so i could pretend like this is sort of fashion-related? i'm the black robot. no one told me i was supposed to be posing in this picture, so i just look like a girl in a cardboard box. oops!




my friends wanted to be old school robots but i wanted to be a "bling" robot. i used functioning mini tap lights for the ears, and i decorated the front with some "buttons", CDs and a dryer vent. round vents were used for the eyes so i did have some visibility.

anyway, the costumes were a huge hit, especially because we made them ourselves. who knew you could have so much fun with a couple cardboard boxes?
