"You look like you're ready to jump on the back of my bike. And I like it."

Gap tee.  Candie's vest.  American Eagle jeans.  Frye boots.  Francesca's Collections necklace. Fossil watch.

The title quote actually came from the lips of my friend Sabrina, who hits on me sometimes, right before she tears down my self esteem.  

I love this tshirt.  The pictures don't do it justice, because it's actually sparkly, but subtly. 

The weather today is the right before the storm weather that's my favorite, but it's not warm enough to be my favorite, so I am torn between being in a good mood and wanting to crawl back into bed.  It's a busy day in general, I have absolutely no time for anything, even school work really.  Plus I'm exhausted from the emotional strain of thinking about what I'm going to do with myself this summer.  What I want to do: land that internship in London, get enough money to get/live there.  Get a part time job there so I can survive (survive the visa process...), and be blissful in the city that stole my heart (and hopefully seeing the people that kept little pieces of it too!!)  What will probably happen:  I'll hopefully land an internship in New York city, get money to support my commute there, work at justice on the weekends.  Neither option is undesirable, the first option is just MORE desirable, and of course more difficult.  Both options depend on a lot of things that I have no control over too, which just makes it worse.  

Anywayyyy, end rant.  I need to go meet friend Kirsten for dinner, go to my astronomy lab, and then go to strike the set of Our Town for shop hours for my intro class (grrr).  BEST DAY EVER.  bye.

Also, I forgot to say I love you.  But I do. 

Furry Walls.

Thrifted Gap short pants and Guess top.  Calvin Klein tank.  H&M ring.  JCrew and American Eagle Outfitters bracelets.  Charles by Charles David Flats.

Had Ma snap a few shots of me just minutes before boyfriend picked me up for a casual date night.  Please excuse the fact that my hair is not anywhere near dry; I tend to cut my showering time pretty close to my leaving time.  

I thrifted this top last month when on a spur of the moment outing with Kimberly.  I like the seventies feel that the gold pattern gives it, I think it would be especially awesome with white shorts, platform heels, and large gold hoop earrings.  Perhaps I'll get on that.

Boyfriend and I ate at Q'Doba (SO MUCH DELICIOUSNESS!  I love tacos.) and then saw "Get Him to the Greek."  I was so excited about this movie, namely because I have been deeply in love with Russell Brand even before he crossed over into American moviemaking, and I will see and love anything with him in it.  I mean, anything.  I dragged Kimberly to see the horror that was "Bedtime Stories" last summer, though I must say that the most brilliant scenes of the movie were those with Russell in them.  Bravo my darling.

For those of you who want an unbiased review, boyfriend says that P. Diddy made the movie worth it, and he was entertained.  I say that Russell makes everything worth it.  EVERYTHING.

I'm going to try to be on top of blogging again, this summer has got me being a lazy girlbum who forgets  the blogging promise she made to herself and the interwebs.  But no more!  Productivity will prevail!  They may take our lives but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!  And so on.

Thriftstravaganza!

After my luck two days ago I decided to check out a few of the other local consignments shops yesterday morning. My luck was still with me.



Michael by Michael Kohrs leopard pumps. H&M navy pencil skirt. Zara blazer. Floral skirt. Not shown are a pair of skinny Gap short pants that were brand new with the tags still on them, that I figured would not make this photograph more interesting.



In the accessories arena, I picked up this scarf that is not silk, despite what the woman in the shop kept saying. Usually, I'm really good about checking tags, I just liked this scarf and didn't particularly care if it was silk, but if I had seen the tag saying 100% polyester I would've gotten it for even cheaper than I did. Lesson to be learned thrifters: always examine what you're buying just in case the seller is trying to hose you. In any case, I bought it because it my mind it resembles the patterned headwrap I wrote about here, and I thought it would be a cool alternative. It is. I had it tied around my head when i went to pick up my brother after his day at school and he goes "What's with the head thing hippie?" For those of you who don't know my brother, this is a successful reaction.



This necklace is not anything particularly special, it's not made of any "real materials" but it's large and statement making, and kind of quirky in a way I liked. I mean, look at those little people hanging off the necklace! I can also wear it long or shorten up the braided leather that it hangs on to showcase it in a neckline.

So, let's reference my spring shopping list. Floral skirt, check! (More floral in the scarf as well!) Boyfriend blazer, check! (HOORAY!) Statement necklace, check! Though it appears that I am not adhering to the list all the time, remember that I had NOTHING for spring, so I also need basics such as the pencil skirt and the short pants (capris to normal people). I'm going on a Forever 21/maybe more thrifting expedition with Ma today, so we'll see how that pans out! Cheers!
