Peek A Boo

(photo: justjared)
I'm pretty sure it's just me but when I go out at night I tend to never wear blue jeans because I never feel like I'm dressed up. I have a ton of jeans yet never seem to wear them out (unless during the day). I'm sure it has to do with my weird obsession of not having too many colors on in one outfit. Ie: color cardigan, color tank, color shoes and then the blue jeans. Even though I know blue jeans shouldn't count because they are a staple, it's just my weird thing. That's probably why I always stick to wearing all black because I'm extremely neurotic. Anyway today I had the sudden urge that I NEED to have skinny black jeans. I own several pairs (inlcuding one of my favorites by Paige Denim) but I don't really have the perfect black skinnies. And since the closest thing to my house is the mall which the only decent store it has is F21, I resorted to that.

Usually when I go to my mall looking for something in particular I never get it so I was surprised when I ended up buying the PERFECT black ripped skinny jeans. These are them online but they don't look nearly as sloppy as they do in that picture on. I have them also in white but in a size too big but I was desperate (& didn't want to spend a lot on white jeans bc with my dirtyness who knows how long they'd last). But I got them in the right size and am considering slashing the knees more like I did on my whites on.

I also went to H&M where I never usually find anything I like. But I was recently looking at Fashion Toast's blog & she was discussing the types of bras she wears & I fell in love with the idea of a lacey non wire triangle bra. Especially since I've been buying a few tee shirts that are low cut and wouldn't look right with regular bras. (I'm small busted so I can pull off the non support thing which is actually what I love.) And lo and behold I find an adorable lace triangle bra in the store for 13 bucks. Can't go wrong. And it actually does give me a little support. So for once I'm extremely pleased with my purchases from the mall. Plus my mum bought me a chocolate covered strawberry from Godiva...my favorite.

Anyway hope everyone is having a good week although the humidity in nyc is horrendous, my hair is one big frizzball. But the other night I had such a blast with my girlfriends. We went to see this British musician named Bobby Long (he co wrote a song for the Twilight soundtrack) at a bar in the city and he was sooooo amazing (& sexy). I've learned to appreciate going to local bars and listening to music rather than mainstream stuff. It's way more fun. Hoping to discover more cool artists.

Caution: Lack Of Sleep

Lately I haven't been sleeping very well. I go to bed at a decent time but just lie there awake. I feel like my mind is constantly running on overdrive except for the fact that I have no idea what is keeping my mind racing. Hmm maybe I just need a shrink =). Anyway this not being able to sleep thing has made me develop a worse vice...compulsive online shopping. I shouldn't complain I like when I get new things but when my dad sees the bill hmmm.

So after last night's online shopping I ended up with an email this morning alerting me that my items have been shipped. I ordered from one of my favorite online shops, Boutique To You, this Wildfox sweater. I've been eyeing it for a while and I guess now was the time to order. I also ordered this by Division E which I said in a previous post I would order but last night I finally got around to doing it.

Anyone else have weird late night habits? My mom sometimes eats in her sleep. Crap I hope she doesn't read this post =) Love ya mom number one fan!

You Are My Life Now

So yesterday I was completely caught up in Comic Con 2009 for one reason only: New Moon. Sorry it's such a guilty pleasure for me at this point I can't even help it. I watched every video from the press conference and the panel and was completely satisfied with my accomplishments of the day. Rpatz left nyc (and me) behind and headed to San Diego and reunited with the entire Twilight cast and even made appearances at several theaters showing the film. Um this is the point where extreme jealousy kicks in.

Oh well, the questions were lame and overall pretty boring but anything involving him I'll clearly watch. He looked as cute as ever (no surprise) and as much as I really adore Kristen Stewart and her badass attitude I could not believe how she looked yesterday. At least try to look somewhat presentable when in front of a large crowd. (Like the Mtv Awards cute hair, cute dress cute, kicks.) I understand totally not caring when during an ordinary day (hello I'm the epitome of not caring whatsoever) but this is a major photo op. I don't know maybe that's just me. At least Ashley Greene who plays Alice Cullen looked absolutely fab in a bubblegum pink dress.

Anyway I'm totally crushing over Jules Smith New Moon collection. I've always loved her jewelry but this necklace is freaking cool. Even if it wasn't for New Moon I would have to get my hands on it, can't wait till it comes out.

ps-shoutout to eSeegsss..now you have no excuse not read this. Love ya girl!!

Spin Me Right Round Baby

Well hello there. Look what I found. I recently posted about stalking someone on fb that was wearing the most adorable striped black and white leggings. These may not be traditional horizontal striped but I'm loving the geometrical print. And where did I find these you ask? Well none other than the uber fabulous Forever21. Um come on now they are only $9.80. Pretty awesome.



And then keeping up with my browsing the website I found this skirt too. I think it's pretty damn cool. I'm really just falling in love with wearing black and white together. I've been so stuck in my all black phase this is kind of refreshing yet clearly it is something that is so not new.

Definitely want to check out the store first before I order. I already want to order this tee by Division E in black (obviously) and pair it with those leggings because of the fact that it's baggy (hello Nicole Richie is wearing it and shes preggers) and it's long. Perfect.

It's the simple things that make my day. I think that says something about my uneventful summer. But I'm hoping to get a friend to tag along with me to go see this guy play a show at bar this weekend. His name is Bobby Long, he's british and plays some cool music. So there something other than clothes to look forward too. ;)

If I Were A Boy...well

Ok so when I was living in Italy, one of my last few days there my friends and I were roaming the streets and I found this adorable little shop that sold all kinds of cool clothes and shoes. And from what I can remember I swear I saw these exact same pair of Clarks in several colors. I fell in love immediately, my friends however did not and I thought I should trust their judgement. So I opted out of the sale.

Now lately I've been seeing Clarks all around (mainly just guys, including these but hey I don't care if they're meant for guys I love 'em). My fam thinks I'm a little weird because I want them so badly but I love them. I think they would be perfectly matched with dark blue skinnies when Fall rears it's ugly face but also with a big chunky knit sweater. Wow I can't believe I'm thinking about my Fall/Winter wardrobe already. Anyway, I'm not sure what size I'd order because I don't know how they run and well they are mens. If anyone knows do share. And what are your feelings on them?

Look at Ashley Olsen wearing a similar pair to the ones I like but according to the website hers are Hogan which I can't seem to find anyway. Oh and lesson of the day...don't always listen to your friends. ;) I'm learning to trust my own judgement.

ps-so far still haven't one the Bella jacket. Damn and I thought my answers were getting good. Check out Chickdowntown on twitter to enter as well.

Bella

Most of you know my new favorite thing to do is tweet. I never thought I'd be the type to follow along with this fad...I really just didn't get it at first. Like why would people want to know what I was doing at all times? I'm not that popular...well a little popular. JK =). Anyway, since twitter has become my new obsession I started following all sorts of people (and luckily have been getting some random cool followers too...I have no idea how they find me, it's such a weird little cyber world). I'm following Chickdowntown on twitter now and they're having a giveaway for 100 days and the winner gets this adorable BB Dakota jacket. Not to mention it's the one Bella Swan wore in Twilight. Um hello, we all know by now that clearly I would have to enter.

There's a question tweeted everyday and the winner is chosen that evening. Now I'm hoping I win! I don't ever win things so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. What are all your feelings on twitter? Anyway hope everyone is having a good weekend. My mum right now is a charity event in the city and Paul McCartney is there. How awesome? Getting ready now to go to one of my fave Mexican restaurants. Enjoy your weekend.

You Jump, I Jump

Don't you just love Titanic? Although the Celine Dion's song is disgustingly annoying it's so addictive. Anyway, my best friend has decided to leave me for a full month. Like hello is spending a month in Greece really that much more fun that hanging in nyc with moi? Ok don't answer. Yesterday we made a little picnic in central park. I swear our eyes are ginormous because we brought so much food. Two sandwiches, french fries, a fruit platter, large bag of pretzels, munster cheese (my new fave), two giant chocolate chip cookies. We stayed hydrated with two cans of coke and two water bottles. All in all us being really full.

We burned off the calories (not intentionally) when my bff decided to do "jumping pictures." She's a camera whore so I don't even complain anymore I just hand it over. We came out with such fun pictures especially when we figured out the self timer and were able to get photos of the two of us jumping in mid air. We got some major air in some shots. One of my jumps off a rock, I made a major face plant but luckily landed on my good knee (phew).

It was such a beautiful day and so much fun. It was a nice change of pace from laying out. I forgot how much I love central park and don't take advantage of it. Now I will. I wore a Wildfox tee, f21 shorts, Rayban Wayfarers and GoJane sandals. My bff wore f21 top and shorts and GoJane sandals as well.

(my attempt at being a buddah mid-air)

Gonna miss ya lil ak =(
