Weekend Wishes

The weekend begins for me in t-minus 3 hours, but seeing as I have to brave my first Astronomy exam before that, I am less than chipper.  Also, my head hurts, I really want to be napping but I'm not because I'm supposed to be studying some more, and this weekend isn't looking too bright.  I have a lot of work to do, theatre shop hours to submit myself to, a dance audition...It's looking bleak.

So, to pick myself up, I have a new idea for Friday posts.  First, I pick three things (one for each day of the weekend!  three!  like three wishes that you get from a genie!  I'M SO CLEVER) that I'm lusting over, and then after cooing over pretty things I list the (possible) pros of my weekend and go along my merry way on possibly a more positive note.  And then you tell me what you're wishing for and what your weekend will hold in the comments!  I like this idea.

I can't get over this Alexander Wang dress.  I loved it on the runway, and my love was just fueled when it popped up on the Outnet, for only $192.  It's so close, and yet so far away.

This House of Holland sweater, seen on avid fan Agyness Deyn at NYFW, has big ben all over it.  Enough said.

I don't know what to tell you folks.  I know what happens when I let my "All American" self near anything that hints at the country, cowboys, or farms...and still I do not care.  I really really want these Jeffrey Campbells to wear on the upcoming warm days where the wind can still bring a chill.  I won't deny that I want to wear them with denim either.

Okay so. Pros of the weekend:

Adventures in the burg with two crazy chicks this afternoon.

Celebrating a roommate's birthday on Saturday night.

Possible Skype date with my favorite Brit.

Productivity! (not fun, but hopefully true)

I hope your weekends are the stuff dreams are made of.  Ta!

Singles Aware

I have no stereotypical bitter woman rant about the holiday fast approaching us, nor do I have the unexpected single girl appreciation for it that will make me talk to you about love for yourself and beauty in the world.  Frankly, I am indifferent.  My current love life makes me either let out a manic laugh of exasperation or stare for an hour or so at the industrial white walls of my apartment without gaining clarity, so I've decided not to care.  In preparation for the holiday, I just polished off a tub of Valentine corn (candy corn in pink, red, and white. they need to start making this for every holiday, like the Peeps people did), and I have some vague plans about going to the movies with the roommates or going to see a free concert or something.  

The one thing upcoming Vom-up-all-your-love-for-each-other day has inspired within me is a need to have more pale pink in my closet.  I am not a woman against pink, and I just realized that I don't really wear it a lot or own it, and I think baby pink compliments the whole pale skin, fair hair, light eyes thing I got going on.  So if my bank account wasn't on a respirator - behold what I'd wear on the controversial day:

  

Jeffrey Campbell wedges, Wildfox Sweatshirt, Nastygal blouse, Cheap Monday jeans

I like the idea of layering the filmy blouse under the sweatshirt, and showing off the adorable wedges with the pegged jeans.  And I mean, with the pockets on those jeans you're just begging the boys to check out your butt and give yourself a bit of a Vday ego boost.

If you're more decisive about your valentine stance and you come down on the positive side (or you just like to read good writing), you should clicky click on over to the blog Valentine's Day written by the endlessly clever and lovely Becca.  Also, if a boy were to write me a note like this one that Sid Vicious wrote for Nancy, I think I'd be on the Vday team.  I'm a simple girl.  Ciao bellas!

Jeffrey Campbell "Exam"

Finally, an Exam that I would NEVER complain about. Can't decide if I love the calf or the
suede more, but basically I wouldn't kick either out of bed.

Here's looking at you Jeffrey Campbell.

(Psssst! I wear a size 8!)
