reinvention.

These shoes are missing a few studs but I love them the same. More so because I got them for $28. And this colorblocking trenchcoat with leather sleeves? Oh, you know, courtesy of Burberry Prorsum. NBD. Thanks guys.

There's nothing like getting out of school in the height of the day, spending a couple of hours with people most important to you, and having (unseasonably) nice weather in NYC. I ran some errands, then had lunch (with the creative director of Tour Des Etats-Unis, the brand of my bag. Get your men to visit here) at The Meatball Shop on Stanton St. I have this new love for brioche bread and mushroom sauce.

So about my jacket, I'm just kidding. There's also nothing like saving about three thousand dollars and reinventing, mixing, and matching the things you already own, to make anew! I was heavily inspired by someone via LookBook.nu and compiled this look. Fashion is magic.

Trying to make plans for NYE's with my girlfriends who are in town for only a limited amount of time before they leave for school back upstate in Westbubblefuck, is difficult. What makes it even more complicated is the fact that, I already KNOW I'm going to be spending it with my boyfriend, and half of them want to hit the clubs, which I hate because of a fight that almost broke out between me and a perverted photographer (there's also a bunch of other things that factor into it, but we won't get into that). The other half, which is really just like, 2-3 of them (yeah, I don't have a lot of close friends *shrug*) I really wanna spend with at their place but my boyfriend stays in a different state (Queens) and I live in Brooklyn + he might have plans with his boys! Sigh.... complicated. I hope this all works out though.

Anyway, so today I hung out with my boyfriend & company in SoHo; super hectic, with the snow and the crowded streets filled with people looking to return and exchange gifts. Nonetheless, it was still nice and I got to step into Zara for the first time in awhile since I banned myself from doing any harm to my bank account - I spotted this bag and fell in love! ...Until I tested out the lock, and it got stuck... *slowly backs away....* After stopping by BAPE, Stussy, and all the main SoHo stores, we feasted @ Bar 89. You know, the place with the really cool bathroom doors that fog up to let people know it's occupied.

& I got to (finally) pick up my Christian Siriano x Payless heels!

try to excuse my uncared-for, winter-harsh feet... it's been awhile...

Whew! That's all from me. Time to sleep to get up early tomorrow, airport bound!

See you in the new year!

Rain, rain, go away - that's what all my haters say

...I think I've been hanging out with my boyfriend too often and can't get Waka Flocka out of my head. -.-

ANYWAY.

I'm in need of a new job. I picked up my paycheck for a week and it came to.... let's just say, under $50. How am I supposed to survive?! (speaking fashionably, of course) *facepalm* Oh goodness. On the bright side, my girlfriends from SUNY Buffalo are back! <3 Now I'm just waiting on my 2 others, and we'll start planning our Asian invasion. Haha! Super excited.

So, today after picking up my embarrassing paycheck, I picked up my boyfriend from work and had Korean food from HMart in Queens for dinner...
