Things I'm Loving/Wanting Right Now

So, I know right now I'm just dreaming. During these times of economic hardships, it is important to remember that I need to not blow rent and therefore cannot buy clothes.

Yeah, right.

In the summer, I live in dresses and skirts. I just think this is fun and pretty and would be so cute to wear out.

I love, love, love J. Crew flip-flops. Every year I buy two black pairs and then a couple pairs of fun colors. By mid summer I have to throw away one pair and break in the other. I live in flip-flops in the summer and wouldn't have it any other way.

The Icon Trench from J.Crew. I love it!

A new rain jacket from Patagonia. I have a million rain jackets, but I live in New York and feel as though I can justify having a few more. I'm also off the North Face bandwagon and have been going with Patagonia for some time now. Thier customer service and garuntee of quality is outstanding. They should pay me for advertising.

Zinnia Print Duvet Cover from Garnet Hill. I have the laundry basket, but there is something so fun about this print that makes me want more!

Tank Dresses from Garnet Hill. I want them all except for pink, of course!

I Was Doing So Well!!

It's been a couple of weeks since I last blogged. I was doing pretty well keeping up with this thing but fell behind for a bit. Oh well....
Here are some random thoughts from my day so far:

I'm sitting on my computer in Starbucks and two people have walked by me hitting me in the head with their very heavy bags. They both stopped to look at me after doing so, but never apologized. Nice.

I can't adjust to the time change. In my opinion, springing forward is the worst day of the year. It takes me forever to get used to the time. Why is that?

I was uptown on Monday and decided for old times sake I would go into Barney's to look around. Whoever said looking around was fun is stupid.

Last Thursday, the work schedule for this week was not posted. Instead of calling I went in yesterday around 1 to see when I was working next. My manager saw me and asked if it was 4 yet. I then realized I was supposed to be working. Great. My outfit consisted of navy leggings, brown Uggs, a white v-neck tee, a black zip-up fleece, and my camel coat. Pretty, I know. So, without time to run home and change, I ran to J.Crew to find something to wear. I don't have much money right now and was in a panic to find something. Not the best shopping situation. I found a metallic mini skirt and a navy tee. Oh my. So, I decided to wear the skirt over my leggings with my Uggs. It was a pretty sight. Actually, it was pretty awful! My manager told me it was the worst outfit he had ever seen. All my co-workers asked me if something was wrong because I didn't look like myself. And customers probably thought Pottery Barn was hiring people off the street now. Needless to say, I kept the tags on the skirt and am returning it tomorrow.

More Photos of the Birthday

Here are some pictures from my other birthday party at Brother Jimmy's. The first one is for you, Heather! Does it look familiar?! Enjoy!

Some Birthday Photos

I stole these from a friend's facebook page. There are more floating around the universe somewhere that I will add later.

First Bit of Randomness In My 27th Year

Yes, as of Sunday I am officially 27. I have no comment at this time.

It is really embarrassing when you go into a public restroom where there is only one toilet and the person in there before you did something that people shouldn't do in a public restroom and there is a line behind you when you come out and people assume you were the one who made that disgusting smell. And no, it wasn't me.

The sentence above was probably the longest run-on sentence I have ever written.

The weather here is beginning to warm up a little bit. I only had to wear one sweater under my coat today.

Its a good thing the weather is warming up. My Uggs that I purchased in October are on their last leg. Everyone always asks me how I can only wear my Uggs for one season. Survive a New York winter and you won't ask that question anymore.

Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. It seems every year I get "ashed" I get a million stares as I walk down the street. There are millions of Catholics in this city. Yet, for some reason people always look at me as though I have the plague.

Speaking of Ash Wednesday, I have no idea what I'm giving up.

St. Patrick's day is less than a month away! I LOVE St. Patrick's day here. I think I'm going to take the day off to celebrate my heritage and the next day off to recover.

I need to find a new green shirt to wear this year. Last year I bought a really cute Splendid long-sleeved green tee at Barney's COOP.

I miss being able to shop at Barney's. More than words can express. I can't wait for day when the two of us and my credit card can be re-united.

Let's Celebrate

Sunday is my 27th birthday. And while I'm not thrilled to be so close to 30, I'm still going out to celebrate. Tonight, we are going to Brother Jimmy's, which is my favorite bar here in New York. It's Southern. Enough said.

Saturday, well is Valentine's day. And yes, I'm still single. Whatever. I'm going out with some friends. At the stroke of midnight it will officially be my birthday.

Sunday I'm working. Oh good. Afterward, I'm meeting up with some friends for a birthday drink.

I think its going to be a good time. But hey, every weekend is a good time.
