too lazy to think of something clever

My head in way in the clouds guys. My throat is killing me and so is my head. Thanks to Zoraida I did gargle so I'm feeling a little better, but my mind keeps wanting to go take a hot bath and sleep till tomorrow, so here's a quick update on my new years celebratory events....

(pics: food from my family's new years party, my yeasayer coordinated, velvet bodycon dress + one of my mom's design school jackets, jeff camb shoes, tights, tights, thigh highs (it was cold), health (openers) yeasayer (+3), first sunrise of 2k11)

I hope everyone's new years were fantastic and lovely, whether or not you went out or spent time with those you love or things you love (like tumblr) I hope it was great. NOW I SLEEP, i can't keep my eyes open any longer....i promise my next update will be less lazy...

all i want for christmas...

is to never hear that song again. HAHA, back when I was like 19-20? I used to work for Clinique and during christmas the only song they would play was Mariah Carey's "all I want for christmas" and I officially despise that version of that song. Nothing against Ms. Carey or christmas songs...just when you hear a song 100xs a day since halloween.....

anyway, my home is prepped for the holidays! this is my first christmas at my own place. I am rather excited :D thanks for all those who sent cards and gifts ^^ I'm pretty excited about this weekend. Today its another hipster holiday bash with yanky swap (haha!) tomorrow, family time, and saturday we are trekking off to my bros house to visit my nephew vader (whose a boston terrier lol)

of course every girl has their wish list ^_^

(but whatever i get this year, I know I'm blessed :D)

nastygal navajo dress, bass boots, boat shoes,stripes from yesstyle,opening ceremony navajo tote, velvet american apparel dress, dolman sweater from yesstyle,juice box camera, and of course the oh so cute james franco XD

ANYWAY

merry christmas, happy kwanzaa, hope yer hanukkah was good, and everyone else happy holidays! see you next week! (i'll be floating around of course ;) )

hipster holiday party

i couldnt decide what I wanted to talk about today, lost boys, christmas, how much i hate snow, horses....well I decided just to start with my weekend. We threw a surprise party for one of my great friends, (thrown by his oh so cute gf) she combined, not one, not two, but THREE sets of friends, I was reminded by that jim gaffighan joke that goes..

"You ever mix two different groups of friends? That can be stressful. You always feel like you have to prep 'em, You're like....'these ppl over here, uh...they don't think I drink. And don't be thrown by my british accent.'"

However, contrary to popular belief, it went really well and we were all able to bond watching ninja warrior whilst waiting for the guest of honor to arrive and comparing it to Nickelodeon game shows like double dare or legends of the hidden temple...

highlight of the night besides really touching my friends heart (now that were all old and never really get together as much, or have the time to) someone putting an entire case of PBR in the trash...where it belongs

wiw: (party: AA tribal dress, movie: freeppl crop sweater, AA: thigh highs, UO: button down skirt)

hipster cat obviously did NOT want his picture taken...humph, he's kinda pissed that one of my friends gave him a hair cut like a poodle (he was making everyone sneeze, and no worries, she's a professorial)

the next day my friends and I watched The Lost Boys on VHS, if you saw my rant on tumblr I explained how the VHS player ate the tape and we had remember our old tricks of preventing that from happening again. I won't get too much into the lost boys other than that IT'S AWESOME, and super hilarious. You should definitely check it out...it is just so corny but so entertaining. Thats why my friend and I were inspired to take some wayfayer pics just for the occasion.

& yes...that is a new free people sweater...i know I just should give free people my direct deposit routing number and call it a night...ha!

zoo lights

Dave + I went to Zoo lights at Lincoln Park Zoo, in my hood over the weekend. I was going to have that party & if you follow my tweets you'd know I was freakin out over it. But instead, we decided to cancel all our plans and just be big kids for the holiday. I think this was truly the best idea. We snapped tons of pics, photoboothed (yay), walk around, then after we got too cold went to my favorite vegetarian restaurant in the city.

What I love about zoo lights is its free, so you don't feel obligated to stay! Just look around then run away! My french club used to volunteer there when I was in High School, so it did bring up old memories...(of knowing french, lol, grandmere, desoleeeee)

At the cafe I got some veggie chili (yum) and then some tofu tostadas.... sooo good. They do tofu right here, its not like "thanks for the erasers :/" (I think I'll do a hip city review of chicago soon like Veronica, tell u more of cool places in the city like this.)

(what i wore, fyi, blouse-zara, shorts-UO, sweater-vintage,

thigh highs-american apparel, boots- steve madden)

It was overall a lovely night and I'm glad that I just decided to just have a quiet intimate night than just running around overwhelmed at a party and people messing up my house, ha!

Anyway, Ive been snapping away so much recently, I'm going to keep with the photo diary style for a while and see how it reflects on my blog? Do you like this style? Or prefer more yappity yap?

Stay warm loves...
