Goodwill hunting

Hey you! (Aka: future self, molly, and mom)

Firstly, I hope you are having a fantabulastic day. Now, let me fill you in on the past couple days! So, the other day I went bargain shopping with my best friend molly, her younger sister (aka, MY younger sista) katie, and twin. Molly has a great eye for finding fun pieces. Goodwill is an awesome place for great cheap belts. Normally I'm on the Lostboy's side, but it's definitely fun to be a pirate and hunt for treasure! I was able to pick up the belt as seen below. We were just about to leave the store when we somehow wandered to the back. What was hidden?......a vintage 4 piece matching Oscar De La Renta luggage set! Its authenticity is still questionable....but hey.......I don't love it any less.

The highlight of yesterday had to be the 1:30am nathan's hotdog baked in a pastry shell, with homemade cheese whiz. This deliciousness was accompanied by Camp Nowhere with twin and bobby (AKA broder).

Today was a successfully amazing day. I was able to renew my library books, go to class, bring my model to the gallery (which is ginormous. I'm considering the moving of this massive store model as my workout for the day). Then, I scooped up my favorite scent from yankee candle, "Spa Fresh". Yummy. Went to one more class. Came home at 10pm from my last class of the day with the windows down and the harry potter theme song playing on repeat. Spectacularity at it's finest.
Goodnight!

PS
note to self: "free shipping"on online shopping sites + a 10 minute break during class= very very dangerous. :)

With all this 90's-tasticness, I just couldn't forget about Mr. Jacobs. Thank you Marc for giving us a little nerdy grunge for Fall 2010.

Success


Happy International No Diet Day

So, I was planning my outfit for tomorrow. (I'm a planner. I plan everything. I even plan when I plan things. True story.) Anyway, I had pulled together my new long slinky rose colored ruffled vest, a white spaghetti tank with creme crochet detailing on the front, and rolled up destroyed boyfriend jeans. The slinky slouchy combo was delightful but needed some neutral high wedges to finish the look off. However....I do not currently own these said neutral wedges. My brown gladiators just made the outfit feel stumpy and that simply will not do. So, tomorrow I will be venturing off to DSW before my 12:00 class on a magical quest to find these perfect wedges.

I like to be able to validate purchases/ridiculous self-spoiling. So, tomorrow at 10am when I am at the doors of DSW, I will be celebrating "International No Diet Day." Yes, I just googled holidays for May, 6th 2010. Who knew such a wondiferous holiday existed? I don't know about you, but I definitely plan on celebrating. New wedges and fried chicken, here I come!!

At Least My Procrastination is Productive


So, I finally decided to get myself a blog. I've been meaning to create one but have been putting it off. Fortunately, my procrastination of blogging came to a halt when my procrastination of studying took over.

I have journals and journals teeming with upcoming/current fashions I'm in love with, artists and designers I like, books I want to read etc. A blog just seems like a much cleaner and less cluttering way of organizing these thoughts. However, whether in journal, post-it, or Mac, my thoughts are rarely organized.

Oh! I'm Lauren by the way. :)
