recent buys

So sorry about the lack of posts. Been so busy trying to get things done before the school year starts. But, L and I both managed to hop on a train down to Boston for some shopping. Here's what I picked up.

A hella' sweet Pegasus shirt from Urban Outfitters.


A really really soft oversized gray sweater and a "Prose before hoes" T-shirt at Goodwill.



A pair of gold, alligator skin (fake, duh) Steve Madden flats (ignore the size 10 feet, annoyingly high arches, and veiny feet/legs...what can'yah do?)



A black cocktail ring from H&M
A purple scarf from H&M
An oversized purple sweater from H&M
An oversized yellow cardigan and a gray cable knit sweater FROM THE MOST FABULOUS PLACE ON EARTH...*

*If you live or are visiting the Boston area, head on over across Long Fellow Bridge to Cambridge and stop in THE GARMENT DISTRICT. A two-story consignment/thrift/costume shop (L has pictures that she may post later) which features the most beautiful thing a thrifter can see. The $1 a pound mound. There is a mound of clothing that literally has EVERYTHING in it and it sits on the ground and you take off you shoes and jump around it and bury yourself and eventually you'll find some things to throw into the trash bags provided. They weigh it and for every pound you pay a dollar. Simple. It was awesome, however, we had to leave early because we had a train to catch

Here's an outfit post.


















Believe it or not, I am actually one of those people who loves winter and cold weather. So this outfit is a dedication/please-come-soon-fall-and-bring-chilly-winds.

That's the scarf I got at H&M. And I am pretty stoked about the new collection about to be released. I probably should've saved up for it, but I don't look ahead. I love for today. As L aggressively says, "live fast and die young!" Coming from the girl who works in a library over the summer and plays Tetris online. No, jkjk, bud.

P.S. I am thinking about layering scarves this fall. You like? I have a gold and white sparkly one over the one seen in the outfit post.

Cheers, C

P.P.S. L and I have a radio show on our school's radio station and I was wondering what are some of your favorite songs? (that don't have swears in them. they can talk about drugs though) Got any recommendations?
