was called "extra" today

was it the fringe?. i just felt my normal casual self.

new shoes

sorta. won them on ebay last week. old nine west.

the marathon ends here

no more white jeans. seriously.this is my new blue plaid shirt that i got a couple of weekends ago. lil boys l or xl from the thrift. i love the way it fits me. greek salad from cosi - yum!

watching jlo and marc anthony in el cantante. i'm half way thru and sadly, the movie is NOT moving me but the music and fashion make it worth watching for sure.

making summer last

with the white jeans. bored and lazy my first toasted apple-bran muffin, made by ME for breakfast. it was just ok. i followed up with eggs florentine for lunch at Juliette's. onk onk

saturday

broke out the doll shirt i got last weekend.

hypocrite

yesterday i kinda told j.c. that he needed to start transitioning his wardrobe because its the end of summer. then i wake up and basically wear one of the most summery color pallets.
all my skinny jeans are sadly really old now and really worn out. holes all over the place so i took the black ones in for some more patching. ahh why did i feel like i was walking around with 2 rolls of gym socks in my jeans all day? SO GAARROOSS. so i cut the xtra fabric down - hopefully that helps. ewwrandomly went to the store with bitten today n got a black sweater and cream tights. (grammar school style).

ANDDDD new shoes. not from bitten. yes i have something like these already but these are new and the other oxfords are vintage...and worn out...and now falling apart like the rest of my thrifted shoes and boots :( so these ones are really cute on but just a lil snug. o god.

regrets

ANYWAY, on to fashion talk, my 3rd opinion cobbler agreed to tackle my broken boots. I'm nervous, there was a little bit of a language barrier . yikes. cross fingers now!

s'mac

random coincidence that cn and i both opted for mac-n-cheese over the BGR party tonite? i dunno, guess i needed some consoling. found it on e.12th street. kinda felt like thanksgiving in a carb-overload sorta way. cn's model shot

fp shirt that i got on sale a couple of years ago .

a wrinkled mess and my OLD sidekick

F21 find from last summer. i feel like i haven't worn any dresses all summer. i'm so anti girl!

wasteful

believe it or not i STILL have not seen the dark knight. so i buy tix online ahead of time b/c shows are still sold out and when we get there i find out that i'm at the wrong theater. who is going all the way up to 86th street? not this loser, $26 bucks down the drain.

i got a new shirt and shiny hair

fyi - august has morphed into a month of cutting back vs. no spending! i.e. got a new shirt but am skipping my favorite shoe store's sidewalk sale HAPPENING NOW ( **heart gets sad) so the shirt, the cool owner of a nearby vintage shop, physical graffiti sold it to me, i think she said her name was elena. we got to talking and shes very nice. she wanted to keep the shirt for herself but it didn't fit and it has a couple of stains - ENTER, ME. she gave me a deal. i love it!

fix me!

finally gathered up all my stuff that needs cleaning, hemming, fixing, shortening, tightening, patching etc...and here's what i came up with - A LOT!
my fav grannie boots from last year are so so so broken in half and david the cobbler says they are unrepairable. i am undone. i need those boots!!!! so i'm going to get a second opinion next week and maybe a third. and if all else fails i'm going to shoe glue them and vow never to wear in the rain or every single day like last year. prayers, prayers are needed for my lovely boots.

i'm a cheater

totally broke my no shopping in august rule today. boo.
cn is a bad influence (o wait, i'm the one that suggested that we check out that sample sale)
i'm sleepy

my bang

is alive again but only because its no longer 100 degrees outside

getting excited for fall

well some of us are. yummy wool navy blue cardigan oooooo what he wore today: m

walked around and fenced a bit today

: looked for a fence to sell my stuff on. found a garden, a bright sky and an art exhibit instead

and i came home to find a pkg by my door of mail, cookies and pretty plates. this is how my mom sends mail to me. (why am i still getting mail at home????)

i'm not really into tea party cookies but to my surprise these are gooood. i just need some soy milk now.

p.s. saw this lil cutie aka my favorite celebuspawn eating a gyro on my block last night. wish i had the balls to tell her shes adorable and to get a pic. o well.

where are you gordon?

meet my bright blue bag

its vegan itailan! i'm not kidding, the boutique owner said its vegan italian aka very nice faux leather. (i'm glad to be peta friendly when i can b/c i do love innocent animals). moving on, stumbled upon it a few years ago somewhere in soho and wore it forever as i always do when i first get something and fall in love. took a break and now i'm back. not sure for how long but the bright blue is talking to me right now like here and here and now on my shoulder or elbow hook.

looking at my ebay finds fade away since i can't shop

and making updates to my other blog. the breeze of laundry from next door - great! can someone package that clean clothes scent so that i can buy it? pleaseeeeee

full work weeks are for losers

ariel gave me the necklace with the greenish beads. i can't remember but they have some magical heritage by way of san diego where she lived at the time. what he wore today: m
