D's outfit (and something else about mexico)

i've been sitting infront of my computer with this screen open for so long trying to figure out what the hell to write but...i give up.

here's my outfit from today. 

i love it. that's all you need to know about it. oh and that my face looks retarded in all of the pics.

outfit details: target shirt, skirt from my sis (it has ruffles!!!!), zebra necklace bday gift from sammy b., long necklace from h&m, green boots from my sis, head scarf from the street (i think), small hoop earrings from my mom and random bracelets

yes, i look like a gypsy. what? what?

i also snapped some pics of 2 souvenirs i got for myself in mexico. holler.

this:

such a cool bowl thing. i already started to stuff my jewelry inside.

and this:

awesome day of the dead statue dude. day of the dead art is cool.

sigh. vacation was awesome.

my new ring

so while i was in mexico, i frequented the jewelry shop at the resort because...well, i love jewelry. 

i was immediately drawn to the onyx rings in the shop. 

i've never owned anything onyx and being that black is one of my favorite colors, i started to become obsessed with owning just one onyx SOMETHING.

and then i saw this enormous onyx ring.

it was complete love at first site.

i put it on my finger and fell in love.

now, the price was really good for the size of the ring but i wasn't sure if i really wanted to spend the money or if i would regret the purchase later or if i was being silly about the ring or i would look silly with this ring on my finger or...!

argggggggggggggggg.

well...by the end of the week, guess who owned the ring...?

ME ME ME!

i love you, large onyx ring that just looks so perfect on my middle finger.

i definitely do not regret anything.

regularly scheduled programming!

i'm back!

ok, i've been back but the euphoria of being on vacation just finally wore off when i threw on my green boots this morning, jumped on the train and headed to work. boots sure know how to ruin any and all reminders of the beauty that is vacation. damn you, green boots.

i was so in denial of my return to life that i wore a bikini under my thin top all day tuesday while i threw all of my clothes from the luggage into the washing machine. (that's unpacking for me). it didn't

even matter that it was windy and rainy in ny and so i was freezing. vacation can't end when you're in a bikini top!!!!

i realized today that anyone who asks about my vacation, i respond with a smile on my face and an ambigious "awesome." there certainly is no other way to describe it, anyway. spending 5 days 50 yards from the

beach will do that to your brain.

it's hard to get adjusted to work when you're brain is flashing the same beach scene...and thinking about a cup w/ dos equis and a shot of tequila...and you can't believe how "cold" it was when you got back to ny because the weather was just.that.perfect.

i love you, ny, but vacation was that awesome.

i promise to be back to regularly scheduled programming once i upload the pics off of my camera and file them under "awesome."
