Safari in NYC

Checked out the Museum of Natural History the other day and wore my new hat. Sure it kept the sun off my face but I was burning up! Then you can't take it off when you're too hot because of hat hair. Whatever, I look like an explorer in this photo!

Oh, and the museum is totally made for photography. All pictures end up looking like you were on safari.

Aw, look at the puppy

This has got to be the most adorable dog ever. His name is Edgar, he's 2 weeks old and was being walked out in front of my apartment building the other day. Edgar's a miniature dachund and literally could fit in the palm of my hand. I think I cooed at him for a good 5 minutes.

But just look at his puppy belly!!

Summer Viewing

There's nothing better on a sweaty summer day than sitting in front of a fan (I wish that i could crank up the A/C but money don't grow on trees baby) and watching some movies. Well, I now have the perfect excuse because I just got my required reading and viewing list from UCLA. With 30+ films to watch before mid-September I better get crackin'. I've seen most of the movies listed, but it never hurts to refresh my memory and ogle some spiffy costumes.

"Please sir, my hair"

I stumbled upon a new thrift shop today and I'm so glad I went in. Check out my new vintage hairdryer in it's original carrier case. I was surprised how good condition it was in. And it actually works! To top it all off, I only paid $2.00 for it.

Okay, okay. I probably shouldn't have gotten this but it's so amazing it was too good a find to pass up! Maybe I'll re-gift it before I leave...

So cute!

Now, I am not a fan of Crocs. I don't care how comfortable my mom and sister say they are, I'm pretty sure that Crocs are the ugliest footwear on the planet. But I was looking through Betty Suarez's massive footwear collection at work and saw these glorious wedged heels. Unlike regular Crocs, I would totally wear these all the time. They're by United Nude and they come in 14 different colors. I am geeking out over these!

Mother: I'm sorry I didn't believe you when you swore that heeled Crocs existed. Where these the one's you were talking about?

blast from the past

Was going through old photos on my computer and had to post this one of my sister Esther, my mom and I from last year. My 2 sisters will be back to Germany next month and I wish I could go too! Maybe I'll make it up around Christmas if I can get a decently priced ticket...

Nutso

Remember my posting about seeing Sparkles the Vamp? Well, the craziness of the fans watching his scene being filmed don't even compare to the Gossip Girl madness in the clip linked below!
