thoughts

Why do we examine things for long periods of time, take many moments looking, feeling, thinking about something, and then casually throw the thing aside and forget about it forever? Something that occupies so much of our thought for one moment can really become so irrelevant in grand scheme of things...interesting.

Christmas is already over?

I can't believe that Christmas day has already come and passed. I hope everyone's Christmas was amazing, and happy Holidays to all who don't celebrate Christmas! I received many amazing gifts, but my favorite would have to be my new Nikon D5000 DSLR camera. <3

I've taken a few pictures with it already, and the quality and sharpness is amazing. I can't wait to learn more! A photography class at NYU is definitely something I want to take so that I can learn more.
I also received clothes, an amazinggg owl pin, some earrings, and other great gifts. Then my entire family came over for dinner and good times. Overall, I'd say this Christmas was a success. And yours?

Jenny Lewis- Acid Tongue

I went to a cobbler
To fix a hole in my shoe
He took one look at my face
And said, "I can fix that hole in you"

I beg your pardon
I'm not looking for a cure
Seen enough of my friends
In the depths of the godsick blues

You know I am a liar
You know I am a liar
Nobody helps a liar

Because I've been down to Dixie
And dropped acid on my tongue
Tripped upon the land
Until enough was enough

I was a little bit lighter
And adventure on my sleeve
I was a little drunk
And looking for company

So I found myself a sweetheart
With the softest of hands
We were unlucky in love
But I'd do it all again

We build ourselves a fire
We build ourselves a fire
But you know I am a liar
You know I am a liar

And you don't know what I've done

By the rolling river is
Exactly where I was
There was no simple cure
For unlucky in love

To be lonely is a habit
Like smoking or taking drugs
And I've quit them both
But man, was it rough

Now I am tired
It just made me tired
Let's build ourselves a fire
Let's build ourselves a fire

Perfect Sweater

Yesterday I decided to do some exploring of the city. I stopped by a few thrift stores on 23rd st: Salvation Army, City Opera Thrift, and one other I don't quite know the name of. All had great things, but they usually ended up being way way too big, even for a lover of over-sized clothes. Then I ventured into this adorable vintage shop on 3rd avenue right off of 23rd st and found two amazing sweaters for a mere $22 total. They are both straight out of the 80s, so I'm not sure I'd totally say they fall under the vintage umbrella, but they are the warmest things ever which is perfect for the unbearably frigid weather NYC has been having.

 

Just one of the sweaters I got. It's sooo warm and cozy. Love love love. I also stopped by the holiday market in Union Square and got things for my family. All the crafters were so unique and awesome, but I had to leave earlier then I would have liked because my toes would have gotten frost bite if I stayed. Well that's it for now. Ciao!

watch

So today in my lovely class that is Modern and Contemporary Art we watched a video called A Family Finds Entertainment by Philadelphia based artist Ryan Trecartin. This is the weirdest, tripiest, most awesome shit I've ever seen in my life, and I mean that in the best way possible. I'm a fan. Watch and be either freaked out, awestruck, or both simultaneously. (this is only part 1, go to Ryan Trecartin's youtube page,www.youtube.com/user/WianTreetin, for the rest)

Jason Wu much?

Michelle Obama loves Jason Wu, and I do too. Cheesy rhymes aside, the designer perhaps most notable for his wonderful designs for the current first lady is back with his Pre-fall 2010 collection, and it really is quite flawless. The dark colors, perfect draping, and flattering shapes make this collection something every girl will want to own. I'm in love.

All I want for christmas is Chanel

As Christmas approaches, of course I am forced to muse about what would be on the top of my wish list if I could have anything my heart desired. This year: Chanel's classic wallet on a chain purse. (photo from chanel.com)
