Just gettin ready for the eve right now and have this on repeat so I wanted to share it. Black eyed peas are on the stove (I'll post the recipe if it turned out good), champagne is ready to be popped, and I'm thinkin I may have to recycle my fit from Evan's holiday party... except maybe with some giuseppe heels on!

Join the celebration and play this joint on repeat, HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!!

It flew by, stomping on the way

It flew by, stomping on the way

Tension between Israelis and Palestinians continue as Israel invades Gaza, again

Swine Flu takes our world by storm

I wonder if we'll have a white Christmas in Seattle... NYC will.


New York Times presents The Year in Pictures . Above were my most heart-felt/wrenching moments. I was tempted to post all while sifting through them. 
There's so much tension in the air, I'm excited to toast in the new year--I think I've already mentioned that a few times.
much love,

tutu

1st Grade Career Day: My older sister rummaged through my mom's suits and grabbed my pop's briefcase posing to be a lawyer. I opted for my florescent spandix, white leo and turquoise tutu. I wanted to be a ballerina soooo bad. Still kinda do but I'll settle for a tutu at this point. 

Trying to up my craftiness and looking at life through some serious budget goggles, I'm gonna try and DIM it -- do it myself. Wish me luck, I'll be sure to post some creation photos when I'm done.

Gangsta's Life

what's making me move right now...

I'm livin life far from a gangsta, yet I can't help but feel fresh when I listen to this joint. Nothing like a little Nipsey Hussle and Snoop Dogg in the morning to get you dressed.

RIP I.D.

RIP I.D.

ugh, this is so sad.

Added to the casualty list of 2009: I.D. magazine. A publication that has inspired so many including myself. The mag came up in conversation at last night's bday/dinner party. Their design review deadline was at midnight and a friend-of-a-friend's project was taking a while to upload for entrance so he had to leave early. It all spawned the praise by the party-goers of those great venues that reach out to the aspiring.

I guess this whole blog thing is bittersweetness. It's enabled anyone with discipline to share thoughts but in transition has killed some material romanticism... But you can't place blame on anything this year, it's been a crazy ride and I can't wait for 2010. I have one of those tummy-pleasing-sweet-in-the-back-of-the-throat type of feelings. I guess we'll see.
Anyways, RIP I.D. You'll be missed.

keds x opening ceremony

keds x opening ceremony

Grandma Audrey gave me my first pair of keds. They were purple vinyl?... i think...  definitely purple though. Anyways, long story short, keds are an all time classic and oh so comfy. 

Right now, everyone seems to be creating their own rendition or collabing with the classic company. I just got a glance at these Opening Ceremony pony hair edition and thought they were pretty fly. I might just have to update my black canvas ones -- lord knows I need to with all those scuff marks.

much love,
