Sea Wolf - You're A Wolf

I feel like Tavi would appreciate this.

Miley and Emilio

I never thought I would say this, but I love everything about what Miley Cyrus is wearing in this picture. I really dislike, or at least need a LOT of convincing towards, clothing from the 80s/80s inspired (wait - is this more 90s?), and never thought showing your midriff was EVER attractive...BUT alas, I plan on mimicking this exact look (when it's appropriate, of course). Now I just need the long hair, EEEEEEK! that will take forever!

Some favorite looks from Emilio Pucci pre-Fall 2010 collection.

Amelia Earhart-chic.
Hello, Edie.

Wilson Pickett - Land of 1000 Dances

I haven't been keeping up with any blogs lately and I feel lazy but at the same time I'm really busy. I'm crossing my fingers for an internship this summer. I'm pretty confident it will happen since I'm thinking so far in advance and getting in contact with so many people already. It really is a good feeling to do something that will benefit me and I'm doing it with no help from anyone else. I mean obviously, having connections and networking is the main reason why this would even work out in my favor, but no need for mommy or daddy to call people and do it for me. I feel very independent and really hope I can live either with Joe or with friends in BK (like the coolest little hipster I are) and just do what I love to do. I was naive last year thinking I'd live above grandpa, although I would still LOVE to do that. But I really long for 40 oz, sweaty from the humidity, chillin' on rooftops, nights.
I hope I can save enough money until then so I won't have to work on the weekends. To be honest, I'm broke and I kind of like it. PB&Js, ramen, toast and mom's leftovers...yum.

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is quickly approaching. I'm pretty excited, especially for my friends working there! I love mah babies. I thought about signing up for that whole volunteer thing on the website but school ruins that. BUT I did attempt to win tickets and the winner was supposed to be announced tonight but still hasn't been so I'm kinda freakin' about that.

For the first time in over a month I finally read the Life&Style section of the WSJ and I'm glad I did. There's a pretty interesting article on the business behind Lady Gaga - if you're into that thing, read here.

come here let me coach you


The new money-saving-worthy event in my life. I think the lineup was better last year but this year will be a good year for me to go.

Julian Casablancas - Left & Right In The Dark

"Don't be shy, at least deliberately, cause no one cares or wonders why anymore."
Ring from Forever 21 and leather jacket I've been wearing everyday from Buffalo...

_____________________________________________
Monday Randoms I suppose... the first two are from my holga. The first is my favorite probably even though the mountains aren't as pink as they were two minutes after this picture was taken.
A bush with lights on it.
View from 11,500 feet in Flagstaff on a snowboard. It took my breathe away and I am officially an adrenaline junkie even though I already knew this.
Some flower arrangement I'm too proud of, probably because it cost $20 in the end. Too bad I can't take care of real flowers.

Tomorrow is the first day of school and I have so many exciting plans for the upcoming weekends. My friend said vacation was full of working and no fun and when school is session, that's when he feels like he's on vacation. I thought this was really stupid but I kind of agree now. Snowboarding/sledding/hiking in Flagstaff, College Knowledge parties, Los Angeles(!!!!!) and Phoenix live...this year just keeps getting better and better.

Milky Way


We took the sunset Jeep tour, which means getting back into town when it is fairly dark, which means getting out of dinner around 7:30, which means seeing all of these stars on the drive home. How crazy is this? I have NEVER seen stars like this before in my life! Like this is legit Milky Way. It made me feel real small, like that feeling you get when you're watching a movie and they start the shot off with a view of the Earth from outer space and quickly zoom in through the atmosphere and get closer to the country/state/city/street and then the camera is right in the actor's face, you know? They did it at the beginning of Burn After Reading, as I'm sure they did for plenty of other movies but that's the first that comes to mind. Anyway, it was amazing.

So these are some pictures from Joe's yashica mat. The first two were taken in NYC so I wasn't there for that, but they're really cool. We ate at this coffee shop when I came to hang out for Halloween and I don't remember what we ate but I remember it being delicious.

This was in my apartment. It's sad how excited I am over the fact that that carton of orange juice was $1.99 for a Manager's Special. Fry's is my second home.
The incredibly annoying but fantastically decorated house across the street from my parents'. There are these little santa/snowmen that line the sidewalk that continuously sing Jingle Bells. We have a love/hate relationship.
Bowling, whaddup.
Arcade in the bowling alley, whaddup.
So this hotel is so creepy that it's intriguing. I pretty much love everything about this sign, but most of all, its size. Thing is massive.
Sunset on a hilltop. Scarf from Mom for Christmas.
One of those houses is mine!

Like I said, Fry's is my second home.
Sky from my parking garage.
Oak Creek Canyon. I'm told this is an awkward stance. I don't know what they talkin' 'bout. Anyway, I am so happy I got to see snow this winter because if I didn't get to, I'd probably cry. The thought of not being in snow in the winter is so depressing to me. I feel bad for those people who go until their teens or twenties without seeing/feeling/playing in snow because of where they grew up. That's why NJ is the best; you get to experience all four seasons!

These pictures were taken the same day as the above snowy ones, only a couple miles south in the pretty town of Sedona. We took one of those Jeep tours. Very touristy, but so worth it.

Captain Knots

OK. So the story behind this is a bunch of friends got together to drop acid and one friend (who happens to be Dan Deacon) decided to go into the closet. He started talking to himself and his friends recorded it. Liam Lynch ("My United States of Whatever") animated it with a gecko. Dan Deacon, of course, denies being on acid, stating he was simply talking back to his tv with its sound off in a Long Island accent. The world may never know. Seems weird now but just you watch. It's hysterical.
