i need to change up my style...

i have been thinking about how boring i am with style nowadays. i see other people's blogs where they kinda log their daily outfits, and it got me thinking. maybe i should start doing it,..well i probabaly won't post them because i hate pictures of myself, but it might be nice for me to have a log of them to really see what i look like from day to day. it's not as easy to do that when you just dress quick every day and then come home and take it all off. i have a lot of clothes, most of which i do not wear. most of which i should throw out because i will most likely never wear them again. i need a change, but changing your style is an expensive task, and i i am sure i am not prepared for that. i have been adding small pieces here and there, but this cannot keep going. i'm trying to save up for a trip! anyway, here are a couple of looks that are totally not my style, nor do i think they would work on me, but i can say that i appreciate them.




i am also thinking about how much i want to get into florals this winter, but i also don't think that is really gonna happen. we just got in the Cacharel X Liberty line, and they are adorable florals, but looking at them on the rack or on someone else is really a whole different story than actually wearing it, and having it represent you. I feel like clothing really represents who you are. it could make you look cheesy, smart, trying too hard, trying just enough, laid back, perfect...all of these things and many more. i really don't like looking like i try to hard, so i just understate everything that i do, including getting dressed. some girls dress up all the time and it looks natural and not a big deal, but because i dress down so much, when i put on a pair of heels, or earrings, or extra makeup, i am all of a sudden really dressed up. i mean i guess that's a good thing that it can be a dramatic change, and not just the same shit all the time, but i very rarely get a chance to dress up. i usually feel like there needs to be a reason, a purpose for the dress up. i know i shouldn't think that way, but that's just how i am when it comes to clothes. just don't try too hard.

my day alone in Central Park...

I woke up this morning, after the first Sunday of not going to Sway, just a little hung over from the Jameson I drank from 9-12 last night. But at least it wasn't a whole bottle until 4am. I met Kalani for lunch around 12:45 and then took the train uptown. I stopped in a few stores, bought a W magazine from Borders and then headed to Central Park. I found me a nice grassy knoll by the skate rink. I laid out and read my magazine for about an hour. Then I stopped at the hot dog stand for a dog and a water. chilled and ate it on a bench outside of the park and then walked down 5th avenue, popping into a few stores on the way to the train. Then I walked down Bleeker street, and then to Trader Joe's for some food and then came home and made myself some Kalbi with green beans. I had a serious solo day, but it was nice. I haven't done that in a while. I probably would do it more if I didn't get wasted every night before my day off. It was an amazing day, I'm glad I spent it outside.

if only i could afford them and/or had somewhere to go..

bought them!

got a compliment within the first 2 hours of owning them. (yes, I wore them out of the store, it was over 70 degrees yesterday!) i love them. comfy AND cute. i'll wear them every day this summer i'm sure.

I need to stop spending money, but my friend and I might go to Topshop again and who knows what will happen in there. ugh.

BUT, I did go grocery shopping last night. I cooked dinner, and brought home lunch to work! I'm gonna try this for a while. enough spending tons on food. we'll see how long it lasts.

more kitty pics!

my visit with the kitties..

Russell and Shaka. My sister just adopted these 2 cutie pies last week..they are the cutest thing you'll ever see...tiny!











i have more on my camera, and a video. i'll upload later.

eff this rain

it needs to stop already. i mean i know April showers bring May flowers, but come on.

my first trip to the Natural History Museum...

When Jason and Kana came to visit, it was my perfect opportunity to finally check out the Natural History Museum. Kana really wanted to go as well, so it worked out! I have had so many visit in the past 2 months, i love it! 3 couples, Travis and Nicole, then Jason and Kana and then Dustin and Brenda. It was nice to have old friends around. it always makes me feel good. They all know me so well, it makes me feel more comfortable than i usually am out here and makes me really feel at home. good shit. now i am just waiting for Chris to come out, and Aaron and Barry. and especially LEILA! But who knows when that will happen. I would love to visit her, but i don't know when i will be able to make it. i want to go to Seattle in July, and overseas at some point too. No idea when i will go back home, but i am thinking maybe May of next year with Diana. She has to go for a wedding anyway, so it would be nice to be able to show her around and have her in my homeland. i have never taken any of my NY friends home with me yet, but i always imagine it being such a great experience. hopefully one day....

the sun is shining....

and i am trapped in this store...i see it, and i kinda feel it, but i am not enjoying it as much as i wish i could be. it's an amazing day today, and the forecast calls for heavy rain all day tomorrow,..yes tomorrow is my day off. what the eff? i deserve better than this. though my last day off was almost as beautiful as today, so i guess i shouldn't complain so much. i would like to say that if i was off today i would be jogging to start on my work outs, but you and i know that's not true. i don't even own running sneakers, so until i do, i will not be running around the Mc Carren park track. I really need to start working out though, like seriously. i feel like a heffer. every picture i have seen of myself in the last few months has made me feel like a fat pig. or an old pig. or an ugly pig. or just a pig. haha. none of those things give me a good feeling about myself. i am going to want to wear less clothes as it gets hotter, but i won't be able to if i continue on this path. i like to hide my flaws. unlike a lot of other people who just put it out there. you know those people i'm talking about. no shame.

i bet it will start raining as soon as i walk out the door. that's my luck...not good.

shopping bug...

it has hit me. hard. every time seasons begin to change, i get the shopping bug. i always feel the need for change, and what better way than to add to the wardrobe? I did a similar post for the AR blog. i like random blogs.

Giusseppe Zanotti heels...



Current/Elliott denim shorts... (spring here we come!)



I want these:

Repetto mirror lace ups...
