Helen Levitt 1913-2009

much love

ETA: this photo holds a special place on my bathroom wall. I've carried the postcard around with me from home to home since 2001. It is well loved and she will be missed. Such an amazing eye.

based out of Montreal
Elaine creates killer creations in sterling silver

It's just the little details here and there that make me want to snatch every piece up for myself

such as . . . . . .


the serrated edges on this bow

the clasp location next to the skull trio

a dead bunny made endearing

a studded banana

a fucking STUDDED BANANA

AND SOON TO BE MINESSSSSSSSSS

my fish lady taunts me with her covered back . . . 

and let me hear ya holla, not about that mighty dolla.

was doing sooooo well at not spending.
homecooked dinners.
rice, tomatoes, spinach and fried eggs.
home lunch
pasta made the night before
carrots in the office fridge
no cabs.
home manicures
less alcohol.
fruit replacing dessert . . . .
but I couldn't resist a royal-crown enclosed oversized jewel with gold wings.

@photobooth - maybe we can work this out.

Just finished eating dinner - a buffalo chicken pizza I made in the toaster oven. 
Now I'm eating strawberries with sugar. Yes, I add sugar to my berries - I think I grew up on too much candy.
Gorgeous weather in nyc today, basically in the mid-fifties all day.
Walked by my favorite park after work . . .
 . . . but they hadn't opened it back up for the warmer weather just yet.
So, I walked further east and got some reading done at a dog park near the river.

overall a nice day 

I have limited options with photobooth 
until my new baby (camera) makes it's way to me (tomorrow)
*I've already nearly killed myself running backwards trying to get into the screen-frame in 3 seconds.
*shoe photos ---> tried and FAILED MISERABLY
*makeup photos ----> photobooth is not very concerned with color integrity.

so ACCESSORIES it is. 
I PRESENT my JCrew necklace collection
as an admitted JCrew/Crack ho-bag I must say - they made a good move when they appointed their current head of design for accessories.

clear bubble necklace
waterfall necklace
bubble necklace in brilliant blue
bubble necklace in black
I definitely wear these more in warmer weather.
so HURRY THE FUCK UP WITH SPRINGGGGG.

with an office outfit that wasn't even worth posting .  . .

but with a stack of rings that wassss.
stacked jeweled rings + silver forget me knot ring

and a peek into my shoes/essentials/deliveries of the day
bulk lashes + Skin Biology Super CP Serum + Bebe Hannah pumps + BBBold + Mocha Rose Balm
And don't forget to check out my eBay auctions if you haven't yet
I don't think I can deal with photobooth and it's three second timer much longer

and thank you to the beautiful, vibrant ClaireGrenade @ FABOO for the following awards
*seriously - two of the best awards I have ever seen - so succinct*

I want to pass these awards to some excellent peoples.

now back to my movie and my book

consignment steal. I have some YSLs in my life.


life before YSL.

and afterrrrr . . . .


I wore them to BedBath&Beyond and grocery shopping
then I walked them over to my favorite pizza stop.
They are quite witchy. But I'm loving them - LEATHER LACES.
LEATHER LACES.
and they've already been zip-soled by the previous owner.
And they were quite the steallllllllll.

It was quite the low-key weekend.
lots of wandering and exploring.
the warm weather was gorgeous - but a touch of sunshine would have been KILLLLER.
. . . now to log more time with "my spanish coach" on my DS.
