My Life Now

   Sorry for being completely MIA for the past many many days... I had a term paper, along with tons of other schoolwork. But now that's all pretty much over, except for my finals. Anyway, a quick summary of my life right now:

1. Just watched Benjamin Button on DVD. Must have been the last person in the world to see it. Was really good. 

2. Listening to the following music:

Fernando Pando - The Virgins

Season of Love - Shiny Toy Guns

This Modern Love - Bloc Party

Ramalama - Roisin Murphy

3. Dying to see these movies (click for trailers):

~ 500 Days of Summer 

~ Where the Wild Things Are

~ What Goes Up

4. Planning to go on a diet so I can fit into this bikini, among others: 

Forever 21

Love

   ...I think I'm in love:

Urban Outfitters - $158

Too bad they're so darn expensive!!

Survivor

  I have just finished my AP Euro exam, and have never felt a greater sense of freedom in my entire life. I recently compiled a list of songs one might listen to while dancing around in their underwear in the privacy of their room... now seems like a good time to put the list to use. Like a victory dance, or something along those lines.

1) You! Me! Dancing! - Los Campesinos!

2) Sleepyhead - Passion Pit

3) Shut Up and Let Me Go - The Ting Tings

4) Common People - William Shatner

5) In the Beginning - K'naan

6) That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings

7) Sour Cherry - The Kills

8) No You Girls - Franz Ferdinand

9) Paper Planes - MIA

10) Kids - MGMT

I'm open to any new suggestions to be added to the list!!

Cartier Loving

  I came across a video a while back, and it gives me butterflies every time I watch it... 

It's a short black and white film directed by Olivier Dahan. Click here for the youtube link. There's a less blurry version on love.cartier.com.

  I hope you have someone special in mind when you watch this (I know I do!). Enjoy!

Spring...maybe

  The weather in NY may not be too convincing, but it actually is Spring. A few recent purchases to pull out when it starts acting like Spring around here:

 

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb perfume

American Rag blouse

Gap sailor-style t-shirt

Dress I got from my friend in a clothing swap

Forever 21 t-shirt and H&M skirt. I'd like to try this as an outfit.

Disney lip balm from Sephora

Korres tinted lip balm in Wild Roses

Tough Week...Good Music

  I hadn't really planned on venting on this blog... but I have been having a really difficult week. I'm sort of on the verge of breaking into tears. The only thing getting me through is a new band that one of my friends introduced to me. Actually, I have no idea if they're new - they're just new to me. It's called Tally Hall and I am especially obsessed with their song "Good Day." 

  Not only are their songs great, but they created a really entertaining internet show. The last couple minutes of the show are the music video for "Good Day."
