Hello Jewlie
Home Improvement Sunday!
Crystal and I walked over to Home Depot and finally bought paint for the kitchen! We decided on a warm yellow. And then we hit up Anthro and got some other cute home merch. I got to introduce Crystal to a lot of my besties too!
After a long (lots of heavy bags!) walk home, we got snacks at Rite Aide, put on Pandora and painted our little hearts out! It was so much fun! We’re just waiting for the paint to dry and then I’ll have a final picture up! All this before 5PM?! We are such a productive duo.
Morning movie!
Crystal and I hauled our butts out of bed early for a walk, coffee and a 10:35 showing of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Let’s just say I was crying before the movie even started (they showed the preview for The Lucky One, The Vow and then Titanic 3D).
By the time the movie ended I had cried all my makeup off and had to leave the theater in my sunglasses. Such a beautiful movie, although I’m not sure I was emotionally prepared for the September 11th aspect of it.
Is it Sunday yet?
I’ve been failing at blogging lately. So much going on (mostly work)! I’ve been planning my 23rd birthday and it’s made me realize how much I love Anthro and all the ladies (and gent) that I work with. We’re having a massive Sunday drunk brunch and every single person I wanted to come was from work (except Crystal, duh she’s basically my significant other). We’re going to have that amazing birthday cake from Momofuku and get day drunk on mimosas and frolic. I seriously cannot wait. This is really the first time I’ve had a birthday “party” since I was 14 I think.
I really cannot believe I’ll be 23 in about 2 weeks. Where does the time go?! Between work and other little projects I’ve just been so busy, it’s hard to believe February is just around the corner.
Anywayyyyy. I can’t wait for tomorrow because it’s the first day off I’ve had in a week, Crystal and I are seeing Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close at 10:30, going to Home Depot to get paint and supplies, painting our kitchen, and then we’re gonna bake cookies and watch The OC. So yeah…best day ever.
So much of this is spot on that I don’t know whether to be embarrassed or embrace it.
The second he started fluffing his bangs with the blow dryer in the mirror, I knew it was me. Also, “Nicole Richie and I would be besties!” and “UGHHH I SPILLED THE COCONUT MILK.” Also like…everything else.

01.25.12.
Today was one of those days where I couldn’t help but think, “Damn. My life is awesome.”
I had an excellent night of sleep, woke up early (kind of had a fashion meltdown, but it happens). Just barely caught the bus and made it Spring Street in time to grab Starbucks and a Spinach Feta Wrap (basically what I eat every Monday/Wednesday when I’m in the office).
It was so great to see Annie and Nikki! I hadn’t seen them since I returned from Michigan. Ade brought in cupcakes for Annie’s promotion and Nikki told me all about her trip to Ireland. It was just one of those mornings where I felt like I really fit in and belonged and was really into everything I’m doing and working on.
Some days I’m like…what the hell am I doing with my life, but today I was like, I got this.
I also had a chance to catch up with Danielle and my mom, watch a couple episodes of How I Met Your Mother and now I’m off to the bar with Megan to see her friend’s band play.
Oh so happy today.

Outfit Love: Marigold Greene Edition
Vintage Max Azria Striped Sweater, Urban Floral Mini, Black Tights, Vintage Red Belt, Vintage Bauble Necklace.
We got new concepts at Anthro the past week. Marigold Greene is this crazy chick who is super into gardening and wears floral prints everyday. She’s also really into the color coral and is supposed to be very feminine. I love new concepts because it gives me something to think about when I’m getting dressed.
Horse Sweater keeps me warm and snuggle-y!
Today was pretty uneventful, but apparently Ali (one of my many Anthro loves) is keeping tabs on me via Tumblr, so I feel extra obligated to update. Ali and I are on a whole other level because we follow each other on Instagram and Tumblr. These are the important things we discuss at work.
Had to get up early, despite deciding to stay up late to watch an obscene amount of How I Met Your Mother last night. I walked to work again, which was nice. Even though it’s cold and takes me 40 minutes, the snow is so lovely and it’s so quiet in the morning.
It was probably the slowest day ever at the store. But I think all of my favorite people were working today! And Andrew and I got off at the same time so we walked home together, which is always nice. Even though I love walking with my headphones on, it’s good to have company every once in a while.
I stupidly bought a large coffee and drank the entire thing at 5PM, so I’m totally hyped up now. But!!! Crystal and I watched the Skins premiere (and subsequently died) and K&K Take New York finale part one was tonight! It was so intense. Not ashamed.
I snuggled up in my horse sweater and leggings as soon as I got home from work. I can’t believe I don’t have a day off until Thursday. That’s an entire week of work with no days off! Good thing I have coffee and a lifetime supply of Lara Bars to keep me going.
But now it’s time for cold sheets, Netflix in bed and hopefully sleep.
