black weekend

I'm not one to go all-out for Black Friday. I went shopping in the noontime with Jeff's family, and I bought one of those cute hooded towels:



It's not quite my size, but it was too adorable to resist!

I went to eat Japanese food at Porter Square with Jeff, my sister and one of our good friends. Jeff always makes fun of me for always getting curry hamburg instead of trying something new. It's just so delicious...



Jeff and I visited his family's new restaurant for the first time as well. It was really nice and new, beyond my expectations. We helped package duck sauce and ate a lot of unhealthy Chinese food. I feel very bloated now.

Jeff got this piggy charm for my phone too:



The weekend was just a lot of eating, even more sitting around watching TV, and some shopping.

I'm back at BU now...how unpleasant.

shoes to die for

Christian Louboutin can do no wrong.
Sparkly oxfords & spiky flats?
Total opposites, but I want them both.

clutches by lv

After Jeff's mom went crazy at the Louis Vuitton store yesterday, I couldn't help but to start lusting over a few of their bags. I think that some of their stuff is a little tacky, but a lot of it is actually nice.

I fell in love with two clutches looking back at their Fall/Winter 2009 collection:



I've been on the lookout for a oversize clutch, but I haven't quite found one that matches my style and budget...!

She's so fierce!
I love the styling of this editorial as well.

thanksgiving

Hope everybody had a food-filled Thanksgiving!
I know I did!
Lots of stuffing my face and sitting in front of the TV, haha.
But that's what I do regularly anyways...

Tomorrow I am probably going shopping.
But I'm kind of scared...I don't want to get killed.
And I really hate crowds.
I'll just suck it up, I guess?

|Shirls|

P.S. I need to start whipping out my camera again!

rocco

Currently lusting after the grey Alexander Wang Rocco bag.
I saw someone in the halls with it today and I almost DIED!
I do like the black version, but everything I own is pretty much black so...

Since I couldn't find any good photos of it, here's one of my favorite bloggers, Maria, modelling her new purchase. It's so pretty - uber jealous!

why

Tell me, is it really that hard to say the words, "I'm sorry"?
That's all you have to do.
But you can't even do that for me?

I love the relaxed vibe of country houses.

you will be okay

Friday after classes, Jeff and some of his friends from Clark came down to Boston to go shopping on Newbury. So I met them there but left shortly after to go out to dinner for my mom's birthday. We went to Victoria's Seafood and it was pretty good. I abruptly interrupted when I was about to go to bed by Jeff because they went to a party and it sucked so they wanted to go to a diner. We went to the New York Diner in Watertown and I got yummy corn beef hash and scrambled eggs!



On Saturday I totally forget what I did before 6 PM. Probably because I slept a whole bunch and lazed around the whole day. But it was another celebration for my mom that night so that's what I did. Later on, Jeff and his friends and I went up to Brandeis to visit my friend! They were looking forward to partying but this weekend was kind of a disappointment because there were no good parties going on. We ended up going to the "Baseball House" which was full of jerks. One guy asked his friend to dance and she said no and then there was all this drama. But whatever, it was nice to see my friend!


I never do anything Sundays, as you all know. Except for watch Jeff watch football, and eat. Ahahaha. I got back to my dorm and then ate with my family again. Then I did my hideous history essay and called it a night at 3 AM.

I woke up late today and skipped my Japanese class. Whoops! I wanna finish moving all my shit today!! Just have to get through tomorrow and it's all good for Thanksgiving.

here i am again

I don't know why I always do this to myself.
I'm the most horrible procrastinator on the face of the earth.
So here is a quick little post just to get my blogging itch itched and off to work I go.
Expect a proper update tomorrow about my fab weekend.

My favorite models in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2009!
Maryna, Candice, Anna, Anja, and obviously Julia. (VS should give her better outfits next year, though...)

RIP, daul kim

I cannot believe it was only a mere month ago that I really started to fall in love with Daul Kim.

(You've seen my few posts of this beautiful South Korean model).

I hadn't been online the whole day due to internet problems in my new dorm, and I found out this tragic news.

On The Cut, it was suggested she committed suicide.

For some reason, she always did seem like a beautiful tragedy to me.

Read her blog and you will see.

Rest in peace, Daul Kim.

Your presence will be greatly missed.

IT'S OFFICIAL!

I AM MOVING OUT!!
Words cannot describe how happy I am.
It is all happening so fast though.
Her roommate moved out right away so I only had 24 hours to decide.
I'm pretty confident that I made the right decision.
Probably going to be busy moving my things this week after I finished this hideous essay.
Watch out for a possible tour soon!

gaga fever

At least 10 of the blogs I follow have posted in the last week about Lady Gaga's song "Bad Romance".
I don't blame them, it's a good song. And Lady Gaga is simply fabulous.

Check out her new song featuring Beyonce, "Telephone."
I really like this one as well.



I want this issue of Flare. But I haven't seen it anywhere, considering it's Canadian.

omg, shoes

I want to go shoe shopping...
A girl can never have enough pairs of shoes.

guidance please

As many of you know, I'm not very happy about my living situation here at college.
One of my friend's roommates is moving out, and she asked if I wanted to move in with her.
I'm very excited at the idea, but I don't know if I want to for sure.
Let's weigh the pros & cons:

• My roommates (maybe just one...) are not my favorite people. Let's leave it at that.
• The current dorm I live in is further away from the heart of the campus, meaning longer walks to class
• My friend's dorm has its own private bathroom! No more communal showers!
• But it's a also little more cramped.
• And the view in my current dorm is amazing.
• There's also a dining hall downstairs in my current dorm so it's more convenient.

I think there's some more positives and negatives but I forget at the moment.
Thoughts anyone?

sweet dreams

When I have a place of my own, I'm going to get a round bed.
They look awesome!
The first one is super luxurious.
But I also love the simplicity of the second one.

I already have enough trouble getting out of bed in the morning...
But next semester I can get up an hour later. Yesssssss.
