STUFFED

hope your weekend was good as good as mine. in other news, ive decided that i want my kids [when i have them in 5-10 years] to carry weird stuffed animals like these [i still sleep with my bear that my dad gave me on valentine's day when i was four] how funny is that cotton candy and the sushi, i mean

WEEKENDER

that's all for now, cheers to the weekend [gotta love genevieve jones]

ART

i didnt get a chance to make it to kehinde wiley's exhibit [it ends tomorrow] but i will post about him anyway because i admire his work. wiley is "a new york based painter who is known for his paintings of contemporary urban african american men in poses taken from the annals of art history. he gained recent acclaim for his heroic portraits which address the image and status of young african american men in contemporary culture."

TOY

GARDEN

this is my little garden in my apartment, just a few cacti and this cute little "eggling" that my mom gave me, it came with soil and strawberry seeds inside so hopefully it'll grow a tiny strawberry plant

HOME OPENER

my sister and i went to the philadelphia eagles home opener today! even though we lost to the saints [booooo] it was a great day; we had great seats, it was very very sunny, and we enjoyed all sorts of stadium food [hotdogs, chicken fingers, fries, and dippin dots]. i was soo happy to be at my favorite team's first home game of the season! go birds!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHOUT OUT

i saw myself on my good buddy's website "the quarter hug": here

we all went to new york to celebrate my darling sister's birthday on september 12th. we didnt arrive till very late friday night and went to the only place we knew was still serving food: pop burger on 9th ave and 14th st. we stuffed our face with mini burgers and fries and demanded specific tunes from the dj...namely 50 cent's in da club, for the "go shawty it's ya birthday" part [corny but classic]. my sister somehow managed to order 280 dollars worth of alcohol and had us all stumbling home. the next day we had a late brunch at the brooklyn diner [57th and 7th] and then went back to the hotel for naps. at 6pm we went to the trapeze school [as seen in an episode of sex and the city] and it was soooo cool [even though i was scared]. that night we went to philippe chow's [60th and Madison] for dinner and blueberry mojitos. we sat next to rafer alston and his entourage which was nice [they wished laurie a happy birthday]. before we left on sunday we stopped at barney's for shopping [i got new jbrands] and a bakery for mini cupcakes..soooo delicious.

>>>>>>pictures of us on the trapeze are coming!!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

so i transferred to a different university which i guess is a bit weird because im a junior this year but im totally happy with my decision. school started pretty light for me [just one class today] but here's what i wore: white racerback tank, black blazer, dark skinny jeans with zipper hems, gray ballerina flats

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG

i went to a secret screening of disney's newest animated feature the princess and the frog. we had to check our cameras and cell phones at the door and they asked us not to give away any of the magical details, so i wont, just know its very cute and you should definitely go see it!!!
