cattle branding

So I'm pondering Brands. As in Coach. LV. D&B. In comparison to The Row. Marc Jacobs. And then there's things bought at Bloomingdales and Saks.

What does it mean to drop a grand on a purse? Is lusting after some gorgeous pair of leather pants better? I pride myself on shopping for beautiful, high quality things for less money. It's a hobby all the women in my family have. So I'm completely thrown when a friend prides herself on dropping a large sum on a bag she doesn't care about, other than the branding.

Once, about five years ago, my mother spent over 600$ on a purse for me for Christmas. It was her big surprise. My stomach immediately revolted when I saw it. All I saw were the numerous possibilities that money held. Plane tickets for goodness sake! And as much as I love, soft, well made things, especially with designer jeans, my most expensive pair hold a pocket of unease for me.

Perhaps I'm a little off kilter. I often find I have no sense of a dollar's worth. In fact, I'm a notorious name/price dropper (tacky I know), but someone close to me once said, "I have no problem shopping sales and discount stores. I can afford the real thing, so there's nothing to be ashamed of." Hmm...

If Cleanliness is next to Godliness, I stand no chance.
This is what happens when you revieve oodles of presents when visiting your parents, when you technically live in your own apartment.

Happy.

and single. Due to the fact that this bitch broke up with her boyfriend. Such an awful break up. So much sadness and tears. But I'm better on my own. What with 30 hours of work, full time classes, clubs, events, writing, family, friends, and training for my half marathon. Now I don't really have anyone but myself to answer to.

I want to be amazing and successful and great.

Question: CAN I DO THIS AND STILL HAVE A MAN IN MY LIFE?

Time for Everything.

will someone please tell me what im doing with my life

It's my life. So why can't I control any of it? Why is the universe so determined to humble me?

hello world, there you are.

I don't understand worrying. I don't want to do things the easy way. I refuse to be safe. I want it all, and I'm not going to obtain that through a job boxing groceries, just because it's "safer." I made friends with an executive at St. John's Knits at my current job. So fabulous. Wish me luck on my finals lovers.

Beauty and the Beast

What is it that makes up a woman? I must admit, I'm severly influenced by the fashion magazines. But at the same time I'm in love with Nylon Magazine..which is a anti-women's magazine, for women.

So this is what I'm pondering.

Must we be quiet?

Can we be intelligent?

How sexy can we be till we cross a line?

Do we get to wear t-shirts? Cleavage?

I prefer debatable beauty. But sometimes I want everyone to approve.

trains, planes, boats. pick your metaphor.

In England there's this saying, Mind The Gap. The idea being that you mind the gap between the train and the platform. Well the transition between youngin to young adult has got me feeling like the gap is ever present. And once I've realized I've made a mistake, do I jump back to the steady platform where I've been waiting, bored and uninspired. Or do I make the leap to the train, a train that will be racing through the most gorgeous parts of the world, and yet I have no idea what's ahead or what the places really hold.

It's interesting, coming out of a dark train tunnel and into the light. A wonderful feeling, and yet whooshing back into a tunnel somehow feeds the soul as well. So perhaps it's key to make the leap, but enjoy everything that's been and everything that was. Because, ultimately, even though I'm shedding my skin and becoming something-- who I WAS correlates to who I AM.

Some inspiration

SoManyDefinitionsOFbeauty.

You just have to discover yours and it's like a silly little spark igniting so much more than you intended. Sincerity means everything, so if your insides match with your outsides (studies have shown, Matching Delivery to Content) others will just be drawn to you.

Natural, Organic, Lovely. (This applies everything from food to the soul)

I thoroughly believe in looking your best at all moments. It then follows that you'll feel just as amazing. Even if all your doing in lounging.

Always be yourself. Everyone else is going conservative and wearing chunky Michael Kors' watches right now...but you're drawn to homemade friendship bracelets? Perfect :]

Friends.

Lovers.

Family.

Sisters.

Amazing. Individual. Obviously.

ch-ch-changes

It's been a while..

Unfortunatly, we can't just pull a Peter Pan and skip adulthood. And as much as I've tried..life keeps pulling me forward.

I adored the grunge phase, but it's nice going shopping for suits with my Mom at Banana Republic. I've spent so long detering relationships, and avoiding responsiblitiy, and just hiding in general. I don't regret anything; I am who I am because of everything that hurt, but the future is looking wonderful, now that I've accepted it.
