cheating mother nature

When you don't have a photographer, photograph yourself. The best part of using photobooth is I never have to leave my apartment. Which also means I can pretend it is summer outside! For those of you not in NY it should be noted that it is 56 degrees and cloudy. Thanks a lot, mother nature. Anyway I rolled out of bed a little bit ago to have no particular desire to do any of the things I'm meant to do today. Cover letters, resumes, science problem set, merchandising math, stats quiz, does this sound fun to anyone? No. But getting dressed up in a seasonally inappropriate outfit and taking lots of pictures of yourself does.

These photos are from a rogue sunny day, where I decided to go on a hunt for the best chocolate chip cookies in New York. I am a chocoholic by nature so this was the perfect adventure. I decided to start my search uptown so I ended up at levain bakery, and I must say the cookie was tasty and moist but a bit overprice at $4 a pop. I'm happy I did it once but I don't know if I'd ever need to buy another.

Are people still babbling about the recession? Really? In my mind, the only great investments that I can make are in my closet. And this past weekend I did just that.

I guess I've always known I would buy a pair of really nice flats sooner or later. I was in the eighth grade when I first heard of Repetto and thought I should buy a pair to wear to eighth grade graduation. While that may have been an ambitious thought given that I had no source of income at the time, it has now turned into a 7 year dream fulfilled! beautiful, no? I bought these babies at Creatures of Comfort on Mulberry Street in NoLiTa and I hope they will remain in my closet for years to come.

After a full day of classes I needed some time to sit still, naturally while posed in front of my crappy Mac photobooth camera. I picked up this shirt at Goodwill outlet, a literal bargain bin, for $1.69 a pound (yep they sell clothes by the pound). It's got the perfect amount of runs and stains if you're into that sort of thing, which I always am after 4 classes and a round trip on the F train.

Do you ever sit at home and wish people could view you in your natural state? Sometimes I feel like my at home wardrobe is just as great as the one I show off to the outside world but no one will ever know. oh well.
