Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Hey homies, hope your Saturday has been productive cause I can’t quite say the same about mine. The usual. Besides running to a local bakery for goodies and going to Walmart to disappointingly not find the Sea Salt Hair Spray I was looking for, I didn’t have any eventful moments. In a little bit, I’m heading over to my friend’s house for a little birthday get together before she leaves tomorrow. I’m coming to that point where I want vacation to be over because I’m constantly bored and then knowing I’ll be dreading the very wish I just made when the week is actually over. Better solution? Telling myself to shut up and thank Mother Nature for not torturing me with a blizzard.

Well, at least I’m going back to New York next week. Thank goodness. Watching How to Make it in America makes me pained at how boring suburban life is (Yes, I finished all 2 seasons and then they cancelled it, that’s cool HBO. That’s cool). Oh, and Happy New Year to you asian folks out there. Hope you get loads of money, cause I wont.. 😦

Oh, fluffy!

Snuggling up in my fleece blanket, watching Charlie St. Cloud. No shame. It’s the holidays and I’ve been having the time of the life. You know, awkward extended family gatherings, stuffing myself with lots of food to avoid awkward confrontations, and spending way too much money and time shopping for gifts. Note to self: never go to the mall two days before Christmas.

As my family is not religious, we never do much for Christmas. Since I was out at school, we didn’t even put up the tree this year. Holiday cheer right? I feel as if I should be caroling, baking cookies, or watching Elf. When I got bored yesterday, I started baking molten lava cakes (as I did the day before, clearly I’m that bored). Rich and made with tons of chocolate and butter. What’s the holidays without an overload of sweet? Mmmmm. I should be doing something else with my time besides eating. Actually, I think watching Elf would be a great decision. I’m in a storeeee and I’m siiinngggiiinggg. Oh, that movie’s great.

Happy Holidays everyone. I hope y’all do something more productive than what I’m doing. Time to get fat and chow down.

Home & the Heart

Le outfit: Zara sweater, vintage silk shorts, Gap scarf, vintage belt from my mommy, tights from Walmart

Oh, the holidays. Christmas has become so much of American culture that it’s too difficult to escape it. Even though I’m not super sure what it means to have “Christmas spirit,” I’m having a jolly good time finding just the right gifts for the loved ones. Four hour bus rides have gotten to me–my back is cracking like an old lady’s..but I can’t say how happy I am to be home. My mother’s clothes all packed into my closet, the vacuum taking up about a third of my room space, and the dust piling up on the shelves. Oh, home, home once again.

By the way, HOW AWESOME are my shorts? I picked up this beauty at a little ‘thriftque’ (as quoted by the little shop) for five buckaroos baby. Yeah, that’s right. It’s like wearing a painting on my pants.

While still in New York, I checked out the Yelp Holiday Market to buy some local goodies for my girls. I can’t spill what I bought(as they may see this post..), but all of the presents I bought this year supported local artists. I’m very proud of my accomplishment, but let’s hope that they don’t think my presents are lame. I like to think I’m a great gift giver (but then again I also like to think I’m not lazy, which uh..). After spending some time with one of my favorite people (Hi Shirley ;] ) and giving her first row seats to me scarfing down a burrito from Chipotle, I’ve had a great first day home. Checking out panties and lacy things, Shirley and I had quite the adventure. I think after today, we’ve agreed that all gifts should entitle lingerie.

If you and I do not meet again soon, Happy Holidays friends 🙂 I hope your days are filled with hugs, the delicious smells of just baked cookies, and obnoxiously loud reminiscing moments with friends.

PS. I told ya my mom is a professional photographer–just look at that first picture! Although I had to show her where the viewfinder was..
