PUNISHER

stuck in my head: "i want it all you can call me greedy or superficial, long as my crew's official and pulls they pistols soon as i whistle" - big pun [look at how small that mic looks in his clutches]

ENCOURAGEMENT

im finding myself a bit overwhelmed during this week of finals so i wanted to encourage everyone [including myself] to push through. it's almost over [even if it feels 20 years away]. just a few more tests/papers and then we'll be home for the holidays ready to spend time with family and friends. we can do it!!!!!

CUPIDITY

i dont know why i like these so much but i do. tom ford winkies [tanning goggles] ooze opulence.

76ERS

just got back from the sixers game [iverson's first game back in philly] and even though we lost i had a lovely time sitting with duane and looking at allen, soooo glad to have him home!!!!! [see pictures of me holding my game signs here]

sidebar: melo was also looking scrumdiddlyumptious

LANVIN

a nice combination of urban and high fashion, i remember i had a heart shaped mirrored necklace with "tatanalicious" engraved on it [courtesy of "the gallery"] haha

XOXO

thanksgiving was amazzzzinggggg and the recipes went well [the pumpkin cheesecake was the best] but now it's back to school [tears] and trying to keep this gpa high [more tears] so im off to bed... dreaming about the day this ^ will happen to me

RECIPES

my mom usually makes the majority of the thanksgiving meal but this year ive decided to contribute a bit. i love to cook and recently [instead of reading blogs] ive been surfing the food network website for recipes. here are the 3 recipes im making this year:

appetizer: brie en croute

side: sweet potato biscuits

dessert: pumpkin cheesecake

im so excited for the holiday season!!!!

STELLA

love stella mccartney for gap kids: tutus and balmain esque military/band leader jackets, i mean..

BAREFOOT

i love barefoot contessa. i am lounging around in my room watching her make whitefish salad [reminds me of my old shore house in margate, nj] and virgin marys, nice start to my monday [no class 'til 3:30]

PRECIOUS

just saw precious with my sister and 3 friends and i am still processing it. her quiet hope and determination was buried by sooo much... i wont give anything away but please know that this movie is not kid-friendly...at all. i thought everyone knew that but people had eight year olds in the theatre [craziness]

MIA

my parents are in miami for the weekend and im green with envy!!!

ART

picasso using light

MOSS' MOTTO

"nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

KNIGHT

nas and kelis' son, knight, is the most precious!

DAMN

La Suivre. from philthegod. on Vimeo.

sorry, a little too heavy for this blog but hauntingly beautiful

i would have named it l'amour et la mort (pronounced the same, means love and death, a rhyme i once read in a french poem)

oh and la suivre means the following

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO

"sun stop shinin she never got shady

she coulda watched them box you in like a brady

but she stood up

like what up

it's a cold world- zip the coat put the hood up...."

HOH

house of harlow shoe preview, i need these!!!!

WINE NOT

wine bottle bracelet holder, i got the idea from my friend

"we be there and back before the rosé is flat" -fabolous

HALLOWEEN

happy halloween from the cowgirl, the vampire [j], and the barbie [lil bits] !!!!!!!

LIL BITS IN 15

JIMMY CHOO

[as rach zoe would say "this dress needs a moment"]

VOLUNTEERING

my new community service project: working in an elementary school every wednesday, i started today and the kids are so cute, im so happy to be involved in something positive!

BARENAKED

"i had myself fooled into needing you, did i fool you too?

....i never said that i would wait for you

it's too late for you" [....almost]

- barenaked ladies

SO CUTE I HAD TO POST IT SOMEWHERE

HARDCANDY

everyone's been wearing green nail polish lately [as seen here] but i couldnt find a shade of green for me until now: essie's mint candy apple is perfect for day-to-day wear because it more closely resembles mint ice cream rather than nickelodeon slime

TO DO

a list of things i would like to do soon:

1. learn how to salsa well when im sober

2. go to a wine tasting

3. go to a butterfly conservatory

LOGAN

currently channeling that cutie logan from project runway

TRAPEZE

DREW'S WEDDING

bride and groom

air tuxies, custom made on nike id [notice the "just married"]
my grandmom [loveeee her] and a few of her grandkids
siblings

my brother drew [just drew, not andrew] married his high school sweetheart on october 11th and it was a wonderful ceremony. my brother's slightly nerdy/artistic/industrial design side was ever present as seen in his "bow tie" [an ipod touch] and "air tuxies" [patent leather sneaks]. there were no bridesmaids or groomsmen, just the two of them and the audience [very intimate]. luckily that meant no bridesmaids' dresses for my sister and i so she wore rebecca taylor and i wore elizabeth and james [funny because the actual "elizabeth" is one of my best friends' roommate]. the reception/brunch started at a restaurant and ended late into the night at my house. it's always a good time when family and friends get together to celebrate and i am really excited for my brother and his wife. hoping for a niece or nephew soon, eeeeeek!

dvf sequin coat! dvf sequin coat!

on my actual birthday [thursday] i was a little bummed because my friends had told me they were too busy to hang out. little did i know my sister had planned a surprise dinner for me and they were all lying to keep it a surprise. i was sooo shocked i cried haha. my sister picked the perfect place [varga bar] i had never been there before but they have delicious cocktails [one with bubble gum vodka] and food [mini burgers, truffle mac and cheese with bacon, and cereal flavored ice cream, i die]. she put soo much thought into it, like putting personalized "lil bits" stickers on the bottom of hershey kisses [similar to those seen here] and i reallllly love her for it, i owe her a million trips to starbucks.

on friday my family and i went to dinner at steven starr's new restaurant pizzeria stella [try the one with proscuitto and arugula] . steven starr himself was walking around the restaurant so i basically grew mega balls and walked up to him and introduced myself!!! he was very nice and i finally got to tell him how much i admire his business. it was nice birthday treat.

sooo here are my gifts, i got a lot of money [so expect some purchases soon] and a gift certificate but beside that i recieved a t by alexander wang tank [lovelovelove thin soft gauzy tanks], a free people shirt [the front is sheer- very sexy], and [from my mom and dad] the shorter version of the dvf coat i died over [here] !!!!!!! cant wait to wear it

xoxo
