Posted: 11/01/2012 Filed under: fun stuffs | Tags: beauty, oxblood, rimmel 1 Comment »It’s official. Everything is ok in the world now, I’ve got a lipstick that matches my shirt. Hello, the fall 2012 “ox-blood” trend. You are on me.
This new lipstick cost me $2.59. That’s right, this creamy, non-gloppy, evenly pigmented, non-grandma smelling and smooth lipstick is totally cheap. Even cheaper if you have a $3 off a $5 beauty purchase at Taget coupon burning a hole in your pocket. $5.59 regular price Rimmel lipstick in Bordeaux becomes a $2.59 steal for me. YAY.

Is it awesome now, or is the Hum theme (below) better? I can’t decide!

BTW, here is a picture of our school, taken by the chem teacher….flooded street, but maybe everything inside is ok?

Mom and Sister are visiting. Visits call for eating, preferably at a fantastic place such as Diner in Williamsburg.

I’ve added to what has now become a collection of little-girlie jewelry from Unicorn Crafts. Not a very New York-ish adult look for me, but what the hell. They’re irresistibly cute.
friday checks

Totally unnecessary to have two checked flannels, but I am weak willed. They’re totally different colors! My mom joined in with her own plaid – she knows what’s up.
I came home from school to a surprise envelope today. B is the best random gift giver/I read your blog entry and got you something gifter ever.
Yay giraffes! Unicorn Crafts –> ridiculously cute jewelry like my Narwhal.
Mad for Plaid
Posted: 09/18/2012 Filed under: fun stuffs, outfits | Tags: 90's, f21, fashion, flushing, freitag, uniqlo 1 Comment »Fall is finally starting to creep in here and temps are starting to become tolerable. Good thing, as I’ve recently picked up a couple flannel shirts from Uniqlo and have been dying to experience some 90′s nostalgia while listening to Alice in Chains.
sunnies, jeans (my favorite for the last year and so ridiculously cheap) and necklace: f21 – flannel: uniqlo – belt: j.crew – bag: freitag – shoes: vans
Uniqlo is my new favorite store, “fo real for real” as the teens like to say. Basics with a little bit of flair for super reasonable prices. Case in point, this $20 (normally $30, there was a special going on) flannel. It’s warm, will carry me through fall and winter, I’ve been mad about plaid for some time now and the soft flannel makes me super huggable. I need hugs.
Also, my mom is in town this week. This means playing tourist through the 3 major chinatowns of New York. Flushing’s chinatown/koreatown is the best, hands down. A couple snaps of a scene in Manhattan’s chinatown: a square full of gambling old grandmas and the people who watch them.
“You should smile more” and other irritating comments.

Leave me alone and please read this:
Don’t You Dare Ask My Why I Look Mad

dog biking

She got her need for speed in when B ran sprints with her across the main lawn at Prospect Park.
a little somethin somethin

Bombay Bicycle Club @ Webster Hall – check them out here.
Brooklyn Botanical Gardens – summer school field trip, the kids’ favorite part, the koi.
New computer!! The weight difference between this Macbook Air and my old Macbook is amazeballs. My shoulder can stop aching now, and my mom can replace her 9 year old dinosaur with a 2.5 year old dinosaur. (also, yesterday was my birthday. yay for aging)
New clutch/carry all from Target. I like the print, the color, but feel the price is a little high for the quality of the fabric. I love the design of this, but not crazy about the color. Should I get it for the fall and risk looking like a Coachella fail?
Running poop on 5th ave.
American Museum of Natural History – not as great at the California Academy of Sciences, but pretty awesome in it’s own right.
Bambi is home! I’m so happy to have my baby with me again. She’s adjusting to apartment living, the heat and the new space.
Naruto Ramen on 5th Ave – my new neighborhood noodle place.
Kind of gross but kind of awesome lamp sighted at the Brooklyn Flea.
