Like My Senile Aunt Mavis
I woke up yesterday morning exhausted. Sleep taunted me all night…dancing around my head all evening and just as I began to fall into my REM cycle, it would pull away, snapping me out of any dream I had been having. So, when I woke up, I was clearly not in my right mind. I went about my morning, showering, drying my hair, makeup, getting dressed. And I chose these shoes:
These may not have been the smartest shoe choice considering I had 3 hours of sleep the night before. But I braved them anyway, take each step carefully, reminding myself to walk heel to toe. Heel, toe; heel toe, heel toe….because if you haven’t noticed, when you walk in really big heels, you tend to forget to walk normally and start compensating, walking toe to heel. And that, my friends, is when you end up looking like a 14 year old wearing her mother’s heels for the first time. This lesson has been brought to you by Colleen…please, don’t hesitate to take notes.
I was so concerned with walking correctly and putting the rest of my outfit together that I failed to notice one small detail:
That I put on two different socks. I’m a fashion failure.
And please ignore my stout ankles…it doesn’t matter how much I work out. Those tree stump ankles will NEVER disappear.
Contest
It’s contest time again! Mainly because I have a stack of books on my shelf that I need to get rid of so that I don’t have to move yet another box to the new place!
So, Sean and I started moving into the new place this weekend. The idea behind this is that since we have incredibly nice friends who have agreed to help us move next Saturday, we wanted to do as much on our own so not to take advantage of said awesome friends’ generosity. And this weekend, we moved essentially all of our loose items–books, a lot of clothes, shoes, dvd’s. Essentially all that’s left is a few boxes of misc stuff and furniture. And i have realized that my stuff can be broken down into 4 categories…and that’s it. I have furniture, shoes, clothes and books. Literally…that is all
So, here’s the contest…you have to guess (leaving the answer in the comment section) what I have the most of…furniture, shoes, clothes or books? I’ll give you a hint: It’s not furniture.
I have plenty of prizes, so even if there are several winners, everyone will get prizes. Pictured is a package of one prize (though, again there are many others). This package is the graphic novel prize which will also include The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Other prizes include Jodi Picoult’s The Tenth Circle, a historical fiction novel entitled Women of the House by Jean Zimmermon, Planet Dog (A Dog Dictionary) by Sandra and Harry Choron, and The Fantasy Book (unauthored).
The answer will be revealed one week from today under Weekly Style as well.
Young Designer’s Market
I was taking my normal weekend stroll around the West Village with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, when I noticed a brightly colored and aesthetically pleasing sign on Hudson St (between Christopher St and Grove St).
I highly recommend checking the Young Designers Market out if you are in the downtown neighborhood. It is free to the public every Saturday and Sunday from 11am – 7pm on 268 Mulberry Street (Between Prince and Houston) and also every Saturday from 12pm – 7pm at 490 Hudson St. For more information, please visit: http://www.themarketnyc.com/
