...I'm nervous to start a new class for the spring semester. Walking into a classroom for the first time not knowing anybody makes my stomach turn. I get over it but thinking about it the days before are the worst.
...I'm amused that my Facebook profile has gone from being an online presence to let my old high school classmates know I'm not dead, to being the place where I can be friends with and communicate with my church pastors and professors alike. I can stay in touch with my BFFs that live across the country and talk about arranging music with one of my professors. I never thought I'd say it but Facebook makes me warm inside.
...I can't stop thinking about the funniest thing my boss said over the speakerbox at work: "Thanks for choosing Tim Hortons, would you like to try a chicken?"
...I have a crush on someone.

Todd Oldham, is the creative director of Old Navy. I didn't know that. Now I know why I like Old Navy again like it's a high school reunion with an old favorite brand. My $400 credit card bill seems to make it obvious...
So my ongoing disappointment with fashion in southeastern Connecticut continues. I was excited to find out about the recent collaboration of Comme des Garcons with H&M and that they released the exclusive line to all stores worldwide last thursday. Deep inside I knew that I probably wouldn't see any items from the line at the H&M store at my nearby mall but I still ventured out there to check it out. I was right.
I still didn't walk out of there empty-handed, mind you. I bought a pair of black flats for only $5.
This is the second time I've been let down in anticipation for new clothing lines. Last year around this time I was expecting to see a new Go International line to debut at my local Target but the store was terribly late in premiering the next line. They've reduced the Go International setup to two small racks now. The Converse fixture is bigger. I've resorted to taking mini road trips to other Targets just to check out their selection.
Moral of the story: I'm still going to have to wait a little bit longer.

I stumbled onto a whole new facet of the internet this weekend: fashion blogs. Up until recently I've only frequented The Sartorialist and other blogs for Lucky Magazine, Elle, and Vogue. Not only are there blogs discussing the latest news and covering couture weeks, there are blogs by girls my age who show the various outfits they wear everyday. These are the girls that if I bumped into any one of them somewhere around town, I'd be complimenting them about everything they're wearing: their bag, their shoes, their blouse, whatever. BECAUSE THEY'RE FABULOUS AND I WANT THEM TO KNOW IT. I'm hooked and now I'm living vicariously through their closets. I'm green with envy. If my wardrobe were as wonderful as theirs I'd be taking lots of pictures of my outfits too! Shoot... So girls, you go with your bad selves.
- Eleh at Come thrifting with me - I love all her vintage handbags
- Endorfina at Brown eyed girl - I especially like her use of scarves
- Anne & Annie at Things We Wore - these two should be stylists for the rest of California.
- Rumi at Fashion Toast - She rocks vintage and heels hardcore.
- Emma at Emma's Closet - for some reason I think European ladies look so chic in leather jackets, while in America they only look appropriate on Harley Davidson riders. :(
- Chic Closet
- Sandy at Sandypandycandy - I <3 her hair
Zac Posen teamed up with DHL to design a tote bag with all proceeds going to Teachers Count. In all leather, the bag is red and yellow and is big enough to fit magazines and your necessities. Quantities are limited. Bags are $400 each. If you can afford it, please support the teachers.
Is it just me, or is the Zac Posen/fashion and DHL pairing so random?
