Tea, not exactly, hot chocolate to be more precise. I met up with my old friend, whose in town for the holidays. It was so nice to see her and catch up.Also, because she is a hat lady like me, I had to show up my latest vintage find. IS THIS HAT NOT AMAZE? I absolutely love it. I saw it at a vintage shop by my house AND HAD TO HAS. I convinced santa to bring it for me for Christmas, and wallah her it is. I know its a little wild, but each day I feel my style getting weirder and weirder. I think I'm channeling my inner Eva Fontanelli, my newest muse.
How was everyone's holiday so far? Get what you wanted? I just wanted to spend it with friends and family, and I think I may have gotten my wish this year.
PS. I got a hair cut, IT NEEDED TO BE DONE. I know its sad to see the curls hit the floor, BUT I FEEL SO SPUNKY with my new hair, can't wait to show you what I've been up too!
so happy that my pictures are back! that was a scare for a moment there, but no worries, went pro...got my stuff back! PHEW...
Anyways, I thought it would be a wonderful way to kick of this christmas eve with some of my photos of lights around the city. I'll admit, I'm like a child when it comes to shiny things and I love love love christmas lights!
Places photographed: N. Michigan Ave, Zoo lights at Lincoln Park, my Parisian inspired tree, and MY AMAZEBALLS HOMEMADE MELTED SNOWMAN COOKIES HEEHEE
Happy Holidays! Hope your enjoying it with those you love, or stuff you love haha! I'm always with my family in Chicago, for me, the holidays are ALL YEAR ROUND..XD (time to watch doctor who :P)
Am I the only one who felt that 2k10 left more to be desired, I think for me I nothing REALLY happened...or maybe it did, I mean I.....
was in two major motion pictures by Ron Howard & Steven Sodeberg. I mean they are small but I always dreamed to be in movies and it seems like my start is just beginning...
had a lead role in a chicago play...
went to see some bands I love live...
went to mexico...
got my own place...
Okay, okay, so maybe 2k10 was better than I thought, I guess when you take time to look back and count your blessings, you seem less cynical, less ungrateful. and theres nothing that annoys me more than bratty people. Sure we all have our bad days, & even if your problems may seem small compared to others, they are still important. but i know that some of us have had some wonderful experiences this year, even if it was just falling in love with the 11th doctor....(haha)
SPEAKING OF WHICH (no not the doctor, tho who watched that tear jerkin episode for christmas?? and yes Jenny, is did look like JJ directed it LAWLS) I did get some nice stuff from my family & friends this year I didnt really ask for much but, I am always happy that people go out of there way for me...
I got that velvet dress Ive been crying for LOL (its pictured backwards I just realized!!!) A free ppl-esque floral dress and sweater, sequin skirt, two new shorts, and velvet leggings. PLUS I GOT some make up, bath body works haul, those russian nesting doll measuring cups (woot!),lots of candy because my mom wants to make me FAT, a reflector because my mom worrys, water botter & thermol, & THAT HELLO GEEKS PLANNER!!!
I didnt even say i wanted this stuff and some how my family found out (hope they dont read my blog, lol, jk i mean what will the find out really?)
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING EVERYONE, I've been really excited for this upcoming concert tho yeasayer for new years eve!!! ACK! Ive planned out my outfit mostly, cant wait!!!
the brookyln boys of yeasayer
SO anyway, I'm going to disappear again, but not without leaving you a HOT HOT MIX of 2010 best hits that I LOVED HAHAR, featuring two songs by yeasayer so you can be at the concert with me, enjoy the celebration lovers!
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 ;) )
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?
