peek a boo!

did you miss me?

i was doing so well blogging and then...well, i had one of those weeks where i worked a lot and was hardly home so i didn't blog. it's not an excuse, but real life kinda took over. i was excited to blog today until i realized that i wore my favorite work dress just slightly different so it wouldn't be worth a whole blog post. shrug.

instead, i thought i would blog about my spanking new ring and glasses. this pic is kinda weird but you get the point:

ring and glasses - h&m

i decided to give up fried foods (bye bye french fries), hamburgers and shopping for lent so yesterday was supposed to be my splurge day. i had fries and a burger but i didn't really splurge...i bought a new earring/cuff thing, 2 rings and these glasses...and that was it. 

somehow/someway, i will get through 40 days of no shopping. i just have to keep repeating that to myself.

un-valentine's day mood

i hate to say it, but i have a love-hate relationship with valentine's day. i love telling my friends and family how much i LOVE them on a frequent basis, but i hate the pressure of valentine's day. i think it dates back to middle school when all of the cool girls would be showered with flowers, balloons, candygrams and stuffed animals. barf. it seemed really extra to me for someone to try and prove how much they loved me on one day of the year. it makes me uncomfortable. in my mind, it seems really forced and unromantic - plus, being "romantic" is not in my dna. i would rather snuggle with my boo while watching some "big bang theory" instead of sitting at some fancy dinner with wine. i don't even drink wine like that! (ok, now i'm just whining).

my boo calls me the ebenezer scrooge of valentine's day since i've been rolling my eyes and talking about my disdain for vday for the past couple of days. sorry, boo. i would really rather sleep my way through the day in my red heart pj's than go out into the world. 

but if you're like me and have a love-hate relationship with valentine's day, here's some fun stuff you can order for yourself:

ribcage necklace

this is way cool. i love how it's kinda "day of the dead", classic and cool.

valentine's day pin

this cracks me up. it's totally how i feel.

this scarf is perfection

really cute to wear on the day.

huge fan of this etsy shop

seriously, that skull is amazing. and the anatomical heart?!? to die for. literally.

shoe lusttttttttttt

i want..all of them...can someone at lulus hook me up?

my wishlist (kinda sorta)

i love online shopping because you don't have to commit to buying anything and most everything looks amazing. i love scrolling through items and picking out the things i would buy if i had a bottomless wallet of cash and a very large closet. seriously. that would be amazinggggggg.

so here's my kinda sorta wishlist of things i have been scooping out:

created by fortune turban

because turbans are the new black. duh.

the new sharpie 80's glam ultra fine point marker set

because i need new pens to write with. even though i have a million.

this duck feather crown from artemis

what girl doesn't need a duck crown?!? i would wear this while sitting on my couch reading blogs. seriously.

(i'm bummed it's already sold out!)

these lita platform boots

if you know me, you know i'm a bit of an astronomy nerd. i love the cosmos. so the idea of wearing the cosmos is even more amazing.

the workbasket sewing workbook

i vow to learn how to sew. there are just too many awesome things i could create that would compliment my crocheting. 

the babooshka long sleeve tent-tee

i love to hide my food belly. ok, i don't really have a food belly but when i think i do, i like to hide it. and this dress/shirt thing would do just the trick.

i completely cleaned my room so now i have a few more options for where i can take outfit pics :)

D's boots

I'm a fan of december.

I'm sure you're wondering why:

 I can't lie or hide my feelings about the holidays. I really love them. It's something about the crisp, cool weather and the decorations and christmas lights that just make me happy! I feel like january hits and suddenly we're smack into winter w/ no lights or cheer or anything. I kinda wish the holidays lasted
longer in the wintertime.

What am I not a fan of? 

This windy and rainy nyc weather we have today. It's one of those days I wish I was home and in my bed.

Luckily I have some new winter rain boots that are making my day. They're insulated, comfy, and rain proof. And they only cost me $13 at a consignment store. *happy dance*

D's wishlist

thinking about some fun holiday dresses. and i want the two of these.

f21, why do you do this to me?

D's new bag

i'm in love.
