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~

Top Shop Sale on Thursday

So my game plan for this week revolves around finishing my sleeves for flat pattern, and then treating myself to a well-deserved sale at Top Shop. And apparently people line up and it gets crazy and sell out fast hence why everything left over when I get there is a size 10; therefore my friend and I must/should get ready for battle.

Game plans should always include:

-A brave soul
-Food for nourishment. Water for replenishment.
-Cash for, well, tom-foolery to the highest extent
-A camera to record said tom-foolery


I actually have not seen anything I really want from Topshop recently, except maybe some cute London based accessories and boyfriend sweaters. But we shall see . . .


Also haven't mentioned the fact that I am just so into Karlie Kloss these days. SHE IS PERFECT IN EVERY SINGLE SENSE OF THE WORD.

I just love her. Not to mention that she's so young that there's no doubt that we'll keep seeing her for years to come. She is just as darling as apple pie! I'm also smitten over the fact that she walked for Sonia Rykiel and blew kisses in the crowd.

AND SPEAKING OF MS. RYKIEL, H&M COLLABORATION KILL ME NOW.

But yes, I am pretty much stoked for the spring 2010 collab. I need to go and waste life until then. Time to buy a planner!

I need to so so many things

I'm getting slow in updating my blog because of the workload at school and also the lack of energy to write things down. Sadly, I've been doing many awesome things so that should not happen! *shame shame*

Let's list what I've been up to that people may want to know!

1. Went to Topshop Event for students with my friend and took a gander at lovely goodie bags and awesome fun-ness galore.
2. Went to the Union Square Farmers market and bought apples twice the size of my fist.
3. Ate at Max Brenner's for the first time! Which is sad to say I have no food porn to show you, but I will say the Chocolate Pizza was really quite good! I love my chocolate!
4. Saw Where the Wild Things Are. I personally thought it was really good but it may be one of the most depressing things I've seen in a while. Really, the ending was not that happy. Still good to watch though, because the range of emotions that Max goes through is superbly acted.
5. Almost had a heart attack because my sleeve pattern was lost. Ended up going through a series of people to get a trace of their sleeve (everyone basically had a traced sleeve from the teacher), and got an A on my project! I wish life would be made of happy endings such as those.



OH, AND I BORROWED SWEENEY TODD.
Because I was in the mood to watch Alan Rickman sing. Well, Alan Rickman as anything really.


So's I went to Le Gap and saw this dress:
It's pretty cute! My only reasoning for not getting it is that I have similar dresses and I wasn't really in the mood to buy it. But it is cute. Well, after taking pictures of the dress, decided I should take pictures of my outfit for the day.

Of course I managed to be looking away!
My favorite what-cha-ma-call it cape poncho thing. I think I wore it almost all of last week. It drapes in the best of ways! Top is a blouse I bought of Yahoo Auctions, the skirt is a skirt I got on sale at Elizabeth Center in Chinatown (odd yes, I know, but nice!), tights ar F21, and boots are very very old.
If anyone hasn't noticed, I cut my hair since last picture of me. So now I have something sort of a bob.

Now I must brave myself for colder weather.
