GOT ONE HAND IN MY POCKET...

(Top, UrbanOutfitters Renewal. Jeans, Thrifted Gap-Men. Sandals, M.I.A. Bangles, Assorted. Purse, Abaco Paris.)

Dressed casual today to run some errands with my mom. We are seriously contemplating opening an online store. Today, I found some Oscar De La Renta snakeskin pumps at Goodwill and Sadly (for me) it was a size 6. Anyone interested? lol

Plus, I can't stop living in my M.I.A. sandals I bought at Nordstroms in NYC. I love them... they go with everything and incredibly comfortable. You will surely see them again lol.

PURPLE-NURPLE...

(Top, UrbanOutfitters. Skirt, Thrifted. Necklace, Thrifted. Shoes, MIA.)

Picked up this necklace at the thrift store. It's one of the most interesting necklaces I have ever seen let alone owned. It's snake-like and no matter how you twist the darn thing it still holds its form. Pretty cool... I'll have to demonstrate in another post some time...

Sorry about the horrific picture quality lol... storm clouds got in the way of the natural lighting thus... blurry photos...

About a week and a half ago I was tagged by Miss Ellie (thank you miss ellie :) My mission: to blog 7 Interesting Things About Me.

Roxy/Quicksilver: The summer before my freshman year of high school **cough...6 years ago...coughcough**, I entered a nation-wide Roxy/Quicksilver Design a Swimsuit competition. 25,000 entries were submitted and low-and-behold I WON! I will never forget that amazing experience and needless to say it inspired my love for fashion. (I would have scanned pictures, but I posted this 3am...enough said)
Killing Me Softly: On my NYC trip, I sang a snippet of the Carpenters Killing Me Softly in a resturant. Nervous, you bet your sweet ass I was...fun, definitely!
Architrave Magazine: I am an architecture student and completely love it. My work was recognized and published in an on-campus architecture magazine, Architrave. Here is a picture of the published project. The project is 4ft by 2.5ft made from basswood and all hand painted. Wish I could say more, but this post doesn't need to grow any longer than it already is. I'm soooo proud of it...

Prom Queen: My senior year of high school I was voted prom queen. Three years later, I still have the crown... I'm waiting for the perfect outfit to wear it with lol.

Tardy: I'm late to just about everything....EVERYTHING! I'm not proud of it... but it's the truth. My boyfriend loathes it.

ANTM Moment: When I cut my hair a few months ago, I cried like a baby. It was quite pathetic... and funny at the same time. I call it my, America's Next Top Model moment.... the girls always cry when they get a makeover. I used to laugh at those girls... now I am one of those girls lmao. Oh well... I'm in love with it now

I Lost My Pants: I have definitely had my fair share of embarrassing moments, but this one takes the cake. In 8th grade, I was playing basketball with all the boys on an outdoor court. Long story short... the ball went over the fence, I went under the fence to retrieve the it, when I jumped up off the ground... my pants+underwear stayed on the ground. Embarrassed... you bet my bare ass I was....

Next I tag, Olingue, Sol, Raez, Delmy, Damsels, Jules and Star.

**Sigh** I'm done...lol

POSSESSION OBSESSION...

I made this collage earlier today (after being inspired by THATSCHIC blog entry) and I have to admitt I am kind of excited about it. I love the way it turned out! But what really tickles my fancy are the items in it. Oh, if only I wasn't a college student whose every penny goes to the necessities (with a little guilty pleasure every here and there... and maybe here again lol). Anywho, these items are out of my price range, but that doesn't prevent me from coveting them any less...
