Day 206 gets a new look

I have wanted to buy a leather jacket for quite a while. But, I've also been really picky. There were some specific things I wanted (wide-ish collar, zipper askew, etc.). I finally found it! As soon as I tried it on, I knew this was the one. Today was the first day I was itching for autumn. First cool day - I'll be set.

Day 142 walks on by

Today I had a lovely girls day with the sis and my dearest Nina! Pedicures and shopping and a trip downtown. It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday. I sneakily took this pic while we were wandering around downtown. You can call it lack of focus, I call it artistic. :)

Day 141 ain't afraid of no rapture

End of the world, rapture, blah blah blah, whatever. The apocalypse be damned, my mom and I spent the whole day shopping. We went to the Jackson outlets in New Jersey. I needed a thing or two for an upcoming work event and my mom wanted to check out some stores too. I am super tired now, but have a few items to add to my closet and a little less in my wallet. These gorgeous clouds led the way to a downpour, which we missed by minutes. I probably shouldn't make fun of the whole rapture thing, since the day isn't over yet. I'm going to enjoy the next few hours before the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man arrives to signal the end of times.

Day 67 doesn't need more clothes

I went shopping at Old Navy today mainly because I get an extra 10% off every Tuesday when I use my Gap credit card. Do I need any more clothes? Absolutely not. In fact, there are items in my closet that still have the tags on. But that won't stop me from seeking out a good bargain. Instead, I will donate two pieces of clothing to make room for the two I bought today. Lemons into lemonade!

Day 46 is making a donation

Tomorrow the American Cancer Research Center is doing a donation pickup in our neighborhood. What a perfect opportunity to support a great organization and do some Spring cleaning! My closet is currently overflowing. I need a donation every week to get it under control. I am parting with several pairs of pants, some shirts, and a sweater or two. Who am I kidding, I'll use this as excuse to go shopping.

a very lazy day 9 sunday

After the excitement of yesterday, my sister and I opted for a lazy sunday of grocery shopping, laundry and movies and it was absolutely divine. There's a farmer's market literally 2 minutes away from our apt and we're there at least once a week. The prices are so cheap we buy a week's worth of fruits/veggies there for under $10. Every time we leave with our full bags having only paid a few bucks I always feel like we should hurry to go the car and leave before they realize they've somehow made a mistake in charging us. They haven't, of course, just still haven't washed that "everything is over-priced" new york mentality off of me yet!


ps. Happy Happy Birthday, Katie!!!
