So it's been a while . . .

It's been a while since Easter (the last time I posted), and I thought I had to post again soon! So here I am.

The funny thing is, I've developed a habit of making a list of 10 goals to accomplish per month (starting last month). One of my goals for this month is "Post more on my blog than last month" So far, this is not being accomplished . . .
But lets hope it will be!


On a happier note, Jukebox the Ghost is going on tour again~! Oh the joy that travels through my body. I've already started to plan out my outfit, but that will come much later (the concert is in late late May)

Recent food:

My mother wanted to try these and bought some. Crazy coincidence is, for the past few days before she bought them, I was craving apple chips. So nostalgic!
These are granny smith apple chips so they're tart. Really yummy.

I like soy milk.

The warm season = awesome seasonal fruits!
I recently went on a crazy fruit buying spree, so I stocked up on about 7 different kind of fruits. This fruit salad contains 5: strawberries, mango, grapefruit, pears, frozen grapes.

Recently I also found myself walking around downtown (near Chinatown/the village/LES). I love this area because the buildings are all so small and cozy looking and they have the best eats. That and I found a store called "Just Shades" with about a billion lamp shades on display, and a store just for people who want to open a pizza joint. WIN.

Some shots:

(this is so trippy I love it!!!)

(my feet and a bag from whole foods)

Finally, I was reading today's issue of WWD, which is the Beauty Biz. I LOVE the Beauty Biz. Nothing like a good Friday to check up on new cosmetics and fragrances.

So of course, I came across a page of fragrances and immediately thought to myself I have to try this scent:

I love Viktor & Rolf (I think I mention this often), but I have yet to try out their scents. This one is called Flower Bomb (actually, this name makes me think of Lush), and comes in this chic pink bottle with a black V&R tag.

I don't know about you, but now I'm excited for Spring.


I'm off to go do some school work [in school]! Tata!

Chocolate, oh how I missed thee!

Good morning (afternoon?) everyone and Happy Easter! I know some of y'all are going to do some fun things today (egg hunts, parades, awesome supper, etc.) I look forward to hearing what everyone did!


So I being a nutter thought that Lent officially ended today (but it actually ended yesterday). None the less, as soon as my clock hit 12, I had myself some well deserved CHOCOLATE.

I'm pretty picky about my chocolate and I like it dark, but this one hit the spot. Milk chocolate with almonds . . .

I also managed to clip some coupons (which my friends make fun of me for since I'm not even living on my own and I grab sale papers . . . but I love saving on food!)

I think I went to sleep at that point. Then I awoke to a glorious breakfast of yogurt and organic fruits!

That red topping is my favorite cherry preserve from Swiss brand Favorit! I love tart or bitter flavors, hence why I tend to like marmalade and lemon/cherry flavored spreads, so this one sure hit the spot. This was atop bananas, pears, and grapefruit.


Recently I went to Brooklyn with my friends Carla and Crysbel to test our luck at Beacon's Closet in Williamsburg.
I had to check in my bag (which had my camera in it!), so no pictures of that little escapade. Carla did walk away with a cute top for $13.

However, I found something even more interesting on the way back to the train station!

No, not the man wearing a leather jacket in near 80 degree weather. But the cool church with onion tops. My aunt owns a church in Japan, but I think this one beats it.

Then I handed my camera over to Crysbel (who is now becoming a regular photographer of my outfits) and made Carla pose with me.

This photo says . . .

"Yeah, we're having fun!"

And this one . . .

Me: "I schooled this punk for breakfast!"
Carla: "Rawr, soiled again!"
At this point, I started to talk about the wonders of blogging because I can make myself seem so much more cooler than I actually am (example being this whole blog 8D)

Outfit rundown:
-Yellow flower hair accessory from H&M
-White shirt (that has a secret hood) from a random store in Flushing
-Grey tank top underneath from H&M
-Yellow biker shorts from Uniqlo
-Yellow Backpack from Uniqlo (I also bought a yellow sweatshirt from Uniqlo on this day so this just reveals my penchant for yellow things from Uniqlo)
-Vivienne Westwood tights!!! (you can't see it well but my tights are actually covered in orbs!)
-Turquoise cardi from Urban Outfitters
-Boots from Payless

This is an extra shot that I had to post because! because!

Crysbel looks like Michael Jackson. And later we passed by a store playing Billie Jean so I think it was fate!

Any shenanigans that went on the rest of that day have been undocumented, however, I will say that there were many of them.


On a totally different note, I finally watched 5-Ingredient Fix this morning!

It's one of the newer shows on Food Network and the host is Claire Robinson.
I've been wary of newer Food Network shows because I'm such a big fan of the old favorites, but since I'm on vacation and have some extra time, I decided to give this one a whirl. It's actually pretty good! I really feel like making the dishes because of it's simplicity and short grocery list. Plus, Claire seems to be a nice host.
I did some googling for images and I also found out she has a french bulldog named Newman! I'm a sucker for dogs in general but I actually LOVE french bulldogs! They're one of my favorite types of dogs.

Here's Newman:

Really adorable.

I think now that I'm all full of fuzzy thoughts, I'm going to go do some cardio exercises! It's also becoming great weather for my long walks across the Queens bridge and back, so posts on that may come up as well!
Tata for now~

I'm feeling pretty good!

Hi everyone! Today (or right now), I'm feeling GREAT! I don't really know what it is, although I have an inkling it's the weather! After a week of downpour, these past 2 days or so have been A-MAZING. I hope it continues, because it would suck going back to school under grey skies.

P.S. Is grey spelled with an "a" in-between, or an "e"? I've seen it both ways . . .

So my camera is back . . .

And I managed to photograph breakfast from a day or so ago? Sadly not the french toast but it was still good!

I believe it is strawberry season. I got a box of these for $0.99 at Chelsea Market! SCORE! I think I seriously need to live there because Food Network AND NY1 is there. I mean, think about it, that's like breathing the same air as Bobby Flay AND Pat Kiernan! (although I am a bigger Alton Brown fan)
Oh, but back to these strawberries, yes . . . they were good. I think I'll go get some more today!

If anyone knows me, they know I carry around tea bags. I recently stocked my little carry around stash . . .

Highly recommended for tea lovers.

Then I've recently been eating this a lot:

I love dried fruits in general, and prunes are delicious! I love them in oatmeal or on its own.


Yesterday I helped my mom clean up our other apartment in Brooklyn (the one we rent out). There was a guy that stayed there for 7 months recently, so we were cleaning it up for the next person that was coming in from Africa (cool beans!)
Anyway, the guy left some goodies in the pantry:

Whole wheat pasta, brown rice, and cooking spray! Haha, you can probably tell I was excited since this kinda food is right up my ally. That, and I find groceries are just the best gifts. EVA.



To keep up with this food trend, I went out to Flushing with my friends on Wednesday and had some food at this place called West (?) Normally I remember names of places, but we were hungry and just chose a random place. The food and service were all pretty average so there's not much to say, however, the pricing was good!
This is my chicken katsu-don.

Lastly, a outfit coordinate from me:

I look really shocked for some reason . . .
-H&M grey (again this word!) Cardigan
-Urban Outfitters graphic t-shirt
-Random jean shorts
-F21 plaid tights
-XOXO boots
-Peace Now Spider Necklace


Oh! And for all you NY-ers out there who may or may not be planning to go to Soho this weekend, from today (April 2nd) to the 4th, Topshop is having a 1 Year Anniversary Celebration!

Basically what's going down is the store, after opening it's doors last year in April, is doing a celebration to commemorate this event. They're having giveaways, photo-ops, cake and tea (yum!), live music (I suspect djs), and if you spend $100, you get a limited edition 1-tank (shown above).
It might be cool just to check out all the hullabaloo. I'll be around today actually taking a break from school work and doing something fun for once so maybe join me?

Have a good day everyone~
