Inject Your Soul with Liberty

I met up with Tamar last Thursday. We went to Cafe Orlin then to get some self serve yogurt. Yup that's right you get to make that swirly thing all by your lonesome and you also get to add the toppings on your own. I put mango strawberry chocolate.Mine definitely did not come out like it's supposed to. Tasted normal though.

Magical Birthday Evening of Super Awesomeness

On July 6th it was my birthday. It was on a Monday. Being that I wanted as many of my friends to be able to make it to my party i decided to do it on that following Saturday, the 11th. I decided to do it at the one place I knew I would have an amazing time at.(Do I really need to state where? its a little obvious by now)It was probably the best birthday I've had in a while.A lot of my friends showed up and it was a really good night.Until I realized that I had burnt my own dress. At first I thought it was someone smoking that had done it, but alas no one in sight with a cigarette.It turns out that as I was standing on the bench for a mere of 2 seconds that created a couple not so subtle rings on my adorable little dress.I am devasted!!!!

On another note, I recently acquired these sandals on ebay due to the fact that my black ones were absolutely demolished(what's with me and ruining all my sandals?)I scoured Ebay in hopes of finding these out of stock pieces of heaven for your feet.The only thing was that they were only available in this pewter color.I would have preferred them in black, but beggars can't be choosers. I'm so happy with my decision to buy them because they were made for this dress and they kept me dancing all night without so much as an ounce of pain at the end of the night.

White Party

Last fourth of July I went camping with a bunch of friends, this summer we were here and opted for a low key day. It's funny though because every time a big holiday weekend(fourth of july, labor day, memorial day)comes around, I always feel like you have to go away to truly feel like its a holiday weekend. Last year when we were gone, it didn't feel like it was the fourth at all(obviously no fireworks because we don't want to start any forest fires, right smokey)and being home this year, makes it feel right. I guess when it comes down to it, its all about where your used to being that makes it the holiday weekend.
On the fourth, I went to my boyfriends parent's house to have some bbq and to sit by the pool and get tipsy on wine. It was a great and awesome way to spend the day.
At night my boyfriend, myself and some friends went to the west village and wound up at sway. Weird dj(he kept putting music together that didnt really mesh well), but super fun!!! At one point we were walking to Sway and I didn't realize I where I was walking and I walked into a pothole, making me twist my leg. My leg was fine my sandal, not so much. One of the straps that wrap the toe area broke.Luckily we weren't far from a bodega and I could still walk in the sandal.I bought Super Glue and glued back together. I was still able to dance all night,totally saved my night!!!

EBAY FINDS 14

For the longest time I've been looking for the old version of the Saltwater sandals(the ones with a buckle). I actually mentioned this sometime last year that my sandals from H&M were completely demolished

and I needed to replace them, which I did. A similar T-strap pair from Urban Outfitters.Which now I have no idea where they are.Anyways when I was scouring Ebay one day I came upon these. They were totally and completely meant to be mine.They are perforated with a few flower details and they are in a super light blush pink.

I was mostly intrigued by the dress because when I saw it, I thought what a perfect combination of floral and gingham. It would be the perfect dress to transition from an outdoor festival to a night out.It has a corset tie back and it is white and hunter green with hunter green embroidered flowers on it.

Into the Trees

As you can see we here, in New York, haven't been getting much of a spring/summer. Its been pretty wretched, actually. Right after I finished taking these photos, it started raining.I had to bring out my black tights again and all my rain gear because its been raining non-stop.My boyfriend was like "not those again?". At this point he's sick of seeing me in black tights, because that's really all I wear. I just wish it wasn't so extreme here. Right before it was really crappy out, it was so beautiful. It was high 70's and breezy and just perfect. I wish it could be like that 9/12 months, instead of the other way around. Once it's June, that's it, Hell finds it's nest here on earth and brings Mr. Humidity along with it.
Well aside from the rant on the weather, I had to run some errands and wanted to wear my skirt that i just recently hemmed.

Yea well my boyfriend does and he thinks that's who I look like when I pulled my hair back into a bun and put on some silver hoop earrings.Well regardless of that little fact, I wore this out on Saturday night for a night of debauched goodness.

Keep the Change, You Filthy Animal

Something about the holidays always makes me think of two things Charlie Brown and Home Alone. My boyfriend and I were watching t.v. one day last week and wound up on the part where McCauly Culkin's character orders a pizza and the pizza boy comes to deliver the pizza and he puts on the movie and the exchange between the pizza boy and the way he plays the movie to fit right in is classic. I love that part.

Anyway my friends and I went to a holiday party a couple of weeks back at some bar on the west side. I felt festive and had just purchased this dress and I thought it was appropriate because of it's shimmer. It totally reminded me of the Erin Fetherston Autumn/ Winter 2008 collection.
