make me a supermodel finale!

this past Weds. was the season finale of Make Me a Supermodel on Bravo. I would say it's my guilty pleasure...but I don't feel guilty at all for watching it. I have to admit, I was an avid watcher since I discovered it in March..

And usually, I have some problem with the winner on Bravo shows (Project Runway, Top Chef) --i.e. it wasn't who i expected, it wasn't who i wanted to win, etc.

But, this show really hit the mark.

I correctly guessed Branden would win, and I wholeheartedly agree in the judges decision.

Though I have to admit, Jonathan really did win some points from me by being British, and being so sweet-caring towards his wife and child...I, honestly, must have "awwwwed" like a zillion times during the finale. His son is SO cute. (and wife, not so pretty--but i refuse to be a homewrecker...so whattttevs..that's his biznazz not mine.)

listening to: Clark Gable by The Postal Service. an ode to men we've fantasize about...

I'm back....

hey all, 

hope you've been well. these few weeks I've been busy stressing over finals...and once I was done with those devilish things...I had to face the overwhelming reality of graduation. YAY. I know I've been stressing about it previously, but now, I'm SO excited about the future. The world is our oyster. (Gag. Too mushy. I know.)

Realization: I love graduation parties. It's refreshing. And pretty hardcore. 

Plans for the summer: I'm stoked.

I'm headed to Europa soon...as soon as I get back my passport..(it's been taking way too long...ugh.)

San Fran (hopefully!) 

Then I start work at Credit Suisse July 10! Can't wait. 

picture from Jezebel via Getty. I just loved the outfit. I realize it is totally unrelated to my post. But, whatevsssss. Biel is hot. The outfit is ....perfect. 

a little old school...with the new cool kids.

WEEZER, covering MGMT and Lady Gaga. could it be any more perfect?!

MADE MY DAY.  

A pick me up I needed.

Running on very little sleep. Spent the weekend writing 3 papers, studying for a final, AND preparing for a presentation...so right after the presentation today...i totally crashed. HUGE HEADACHE, which has been like the 5 time this month--I really should get that checked out...

Anyway, this picture pretty much made me very giddy. Me gusto Balenciaga. Mucho. 

OH, and I found (actually Karl drunkenly found) a chinese bakery on 23rd street between 2nd and 3rd ave. which appeal to my asian-ness. Bubble tea and chinese buns. They also have Roast Duck Sandwiches. I am so excited, no joke. (HOW CAN PEOPLE QUESTION MY ASIAN-NESS, I AM SOOOOOO ASIAN!)

Being Productive...kinda

“ Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It’s not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; its when you had everything to do, and you’ve done it. ”
— Margaret Thatcher

In which case, today has been quite satisfying.

I really needed a day like this--to sit down and literally shit out papers. (mental images are nice, aren't they?) 

Oh, and the fun part is...I'm hardly done with everything.


2 Papers.
2 Env Labs.
1 Presentation.
5 FINALS.

I am going to go stare at the Delman pumps and Botkier bag I bought this week. They are my ray of sunshine! ...oh, things that keep me going...

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO

HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

I can barely keep my eyes open ...because of my damn allergies.

But I can keep them open long enough to be obessed with this:

Elizabeth and James Drape Skirt

Marc Jacobs: "If you have five minutes free in New York, you're a failure. If you have five minutes free in Paris, you're a success."

Shit, damn. I'm going to be such a success...in Paris.

Confession

Firstly, HAPPY MAY! 

Just 28 days until the BEST MONTH, ever. just saying.

...which means 23 days (3 weeks-ish!!) until LONDON! 

Secondly, I have come to make a confession. I am officially selling things on EBAY. Gasp. This comes from my need for MOOOLAHHHH and my attempt to clean out my closet.  In my BELOVED shoe closet, I found shoes purchased a year or more ago that STILL haven't been worn, AT ALL. Case in point:

Stuart Weitzman Night Guipure Lace Slingbacks 

I really wish I had more occasions to wear these. Alas a year later, and totally UNTOUCHED. 

Story of half-my-closet.

I genuinely feel that my PROACTIVE stance to clean up my clutter is quite necessary as I close a chapter of my life and start a new one. 

...Eh, maybe.

More true to the heart, I just need more space for my shopping spree in Europe that is just around the corner. That is the logic and reasoning you've come to expect from me, no?

Can we pls fast forward to May 25th?

I'd appreciate it.
