a public service announcement.

Listen to your weatherman. Do not wear rubber shoes when he says it will sleet and hail the size of everlasting gobstoppers will fall on your head. Just because your little piggies are slightly claustrophobic does that mean you should give into their desires by wearing footless tights.

Just say no. Or they'll end up like this.

Why hello there, pleased to make your aquaintance.

Shirt/skirt: H&M. Tights: stolen from my mom.Shoes: Target. Hair: not cooperating.Ever. Pose:awkward. Apologies.

Some mornings I stumble out of bed and can't make coherent outfits/thoughts. I can't distinguish what is a sweater and what is a sneaker. If I do not have adequate amounts of pancakes and/or orange juice in my system, there is good chance you can find me walking to the bus without pants.


For days like those, these would really come in handy.

i am just a cotton headed ninny-muggins.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, my dear. I kept busy by baking colossal amounts of pie, entertaining bum college students, and watching Bolt in 3D (the most intense movie.EVER).

Today is my birthday* and I just opened my shiny new camera, which means pretty soon we'll have real live photos, folks (gasp). Until then, I am just sitting around watching Elf, eating this birthday cake that I am convinced is Hanukkah themed, and wondering if me and Buddy were separated at both. We both enjoy the same pastimes (see: making snow angels, smiling, eating Tollhouse cookie dough, snuggling etc.)

Oh and I'm also loathing the rain. For crying out loud, it's not even snow, it's just weird sort of slippery sleet stuff that seeps into your socks and gives you the sniffles. And I can't even wear a cute raincoat. I just resemble Randy from a Christmas Story (You know, in that part where his mom makes him where like 12 parkas and he can't fend off the bullies. STORY OF MY LIFE) for most of the wintertime. I need some alternatives to keep me toasty...

1.Yokoo Citron Snuggler, Etsy, $50. This is essentially the outerwear equivalent of your childhood blankey. Basically anything by Yokoo has my heart.

2.Long Yellow Gloves, Forever 21, $6.80. My mom came home with these bad boys last week and I keep *borrowing* them.

3.Aspen Anorak, Delias, $79.50. This would keep me warm without the whole Michelin Man look.

I'm sitting here wearing these flats . I swear, every time I look at them I smile a little. Unfortunately, I have to take them off soon and bid adieu for two weeks, as they're supposed to be a birthday gift. And I was so close in kidnapping them and their lemony yellow goodness...

Me: -hears the mailman- The mail's here. I shall go get it! -squeals at sight of Urban Outfitters package-
Mom: Is there anything good?
Me: Um...nope...no...not at all. Nothing. Just a Dr. Leonard's* catalogue and some bills.
Mom: What's in that box?
Me: Bagels with lox? That sounds great!
Mom:What?
Me:What? -smuggles box-
*seriously, if you know what this is, can we be lifelong friends?

And speaking of birthdays, I am now the proud owner of a Canon Powershot randomnumbersidonotbothertoacknowledge. That, too, was unable to be kidnapped despite my best efforts with the awkward Best Buy kid. You'll just have to wait until December for this blog to become slightly less lame.

EPIC EPIC EPIC.

peanut butter & jams.

Sometimes procrastination is my best time of productivity. How is that possible, you may ask? Well, let's just say I should be doing something important, like studying for a biology exam, and I decide I must go bake cookies at once.

Or I get all crafty and decide to make an iMix just for you, my dolls, like I *might* have done last night when I should have been studying for, er, biology.* Plus, you know those 30 second snippets are the greatest way to kill time.

I can't figure out how to copy the picture with all the record covers (if you know how, please share). Until then, let's admire flickr user iirraa's triple decker pb&j, shall we?

Yes, it's a bit random. I have no extraordinary music discovery skills. Please enjoy.

*Whenever teachers tell us that every single exam is vital to our future, I appease myself with dreams of being discovered in a book store and then becoming a supermodel. The fact that I have no idea where the golgi apparatus is won't matter then, now will it?

my legs don't ask for much.

They just wanted a pair of these polka dot tights. So I forked over my hard earned $5.99 for them. (Now, it is brought to my attention that they should've been $4.19. WHAT GIVES TARGET? RIPPING OFF A 14 YEAR OLD? REALLY?)

P.S. I know this blog is terribly blah, as of late. Coming soon: camera.
