Maxi skirt? Nope! Maxi... Pants? Wide-legged pants is such a mouthful.

I've been on a pretty long hiatus, but I'm back! But while I watch this post, I'm writing How I Met Your Mother, so excuse me if I seem a bit distracted. But fortunately for people who like looking at pictures, nothing has crossed my mind worth writing about except that my girlfriends are back. You know what that means - it's summa-summa-summa tiiiiiiiime.

SO SORRY ABOUT THE HALF NAKED MAN IN TOO-SHORT SWIMMING TRUNKS.

T-minus: 2 days and Panicking.

Two more days until 2010 is over and 2011 starts!

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!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

I've been really lagging on my blog - Work schedule was hectic this week and super busy with all the last Christmas shopping everyone was doing - I've been up a 5AM to get to work @ 8AM, crazy! And then after work, I've been feasting like a monster with the holiday dinners! 3 in a row to be specific. Haha.

Is it wrong that I'm starting to indulge in my sister's depression? Everytime she's upset, she buys impractical shoes thus, I got all this! minus the Aldo wedges. It's been a good week: My Christian Siriano heels and Johnny Cupcakes x Hello Kitty totebag finally got in...

Happy Holidays everybody!

Be a lady, not a tramp.

I can't believe there's only 5 more days until Christmas, then only a week after that until it's 2011. How quick this year's going by. There's not enough time in a year, I swear. Haha.

Anyway, my girls from Buffalo and beyond are finally back, I'm SO excited. I had the chance to hang out with them today but my body was killing me, and it was beautiful outside. UGH. ...Oh well, there's always tomorrow and a month. (:

So here are my new pickups from last week. I finally got a leopard piece... FOR FREE. The best, I always say. Haha. Found it in my closet, buried all the way in the back, I completely forgot about it since a couple of years ago it didn't really fit. & voila:

exchange by david charles, nine west

a book to live by - and I've only read 20 pages.

MAC brush cleaner works extremely well and fast. This 8 fl. oz will last me awhile since I don't put on makeup that often.

Slowly, but surely, I'll build up my shoe pile, get to wear them all, and I can't wait to show them off. Also, ever since I received that book from my sister as a Christmas present (along with strawberry headphones, yeah, I cheated and opened up early =x) I haven't been able to put it down, it's so good so far! & extremely helpful tips like how to balance your outfit out, the thin line between sexy and skanky, and table manners.

Happy reading, stay warm and I hope you've got your Christmas shopping and New Year's resolution down everyone!
