*black*SeQUiNS*

this year has been my first year of *blogging*
and so last year's NewYear's Eve, when I stumbled
i thought,
"That is NewYear'sEve perfection!"
if my hUMUNgo ass
wouldn't hang out of shorts like those, I'd buy 'em.
***
so, anyway...I've had my big fat heart set on
*black*SeQUiNS*
for NewYear's.
I've
seen
it everywhere:
Kate Moss's *black*SeQUiNS* cat-suit.
friggin' awesome!
***
Kimmy K's
*black*SeQUiNCeD*
Alice+Oliva mini dress
GoRGE!
***
...and I don't know this chick's name,

...but she's got a friggin' awesome *black*SeQUiNS* maxi shirt!

***

***

{{deep sigh}}

i wish it was going to be a bang-zang-a-rang kind of New Year's Eve that I picture in my head, but frankly, this year, it won't be.

the mounds of un-plowed snow contributes;

the place I'm at contributes;

the lack of enthusiasm from friends contributes ["...Let's stay home...it gets crazy out there on NY'sEve..."] ... bunch 'o ninnies!

however...#26: Let. Myself. Be. At. Where. I'm. At.

I've been trying.

plus, my *bitt* is the cutest EVER! ...and got me this for Christmas [in black sequins] which -- if I'm not having that awesome, goin' out NewYear'sEve -- I can still jazz up with a cardigan or blazer...make it happen. ;)

***

what NewYear'sEVE outfits are ya'll plannin' on rockin'?? ...and what're your plans!?!?!

happyWednesday, ya blog-readin' beautie-pies!

warm tones, LIGHTED TREE, angel ornaments, camera dreams

please press PLAY...and wait for it...
* * *
ahhhhhhhhh. now ease
down into your seat and
scroll on
yesterday evening.
*
**
*
multi-colored bulbs
strung around a HomeDepot tree
in some sort of order.
made to work in between bursts
of *sister*laughter* and *kitty*craziness*
pink...
rich magenta pink:
a major theme of this year's tree
up close with a christmas ball.
*
this camera -- the camera i used for almost every personal pic
you've seen on this blog this year...
...it's got me dreamin'
one i hope will be this year's Christmas present from Santa,
my first SLR
which would have made these next few pics
a lot better I imagine
***
*
my sister, mom, and I
are a tad bit in love with
these curly silver twist ornaments
scattered about our tree
***
*
[my favorite pic of the bunch]
this little angle ornament seems like he's flying enthusiastically around Christmas land
***
*
above, a modern angel ornament, bought in recent years
and
below, a vintage angel ornament, around during my mom's childhood
[both adorning the same tree]
***
*
decorating *the*tree* is always one
of my favorite events of winter,
and this year
it seemed therapeutic
on this Monday morning,
the start of what i feel is going to be the week from Hell due
when sham-college duties rush in causing stress and worry,
and fear at the forefront of my mind,
i will imagine Christmas bubbles of warmth and serenity
and hope it'll help me through.
*
...and if not, then

i can always do like *the*binos*, and sleep in the light of the tree.

wishing you a calm and peaceful and quick December Mond

words for ME & my SIS this Tues:

we're both having bad days. my *bitt* & me, that is.

pic found here.

wish i had more time these days. wish i was done with my thesis. wish...wish...waste?

finger'staches!
[they were blogged about a week ago here]
Bitt was a sport
and played along with my
nonsensical birthday request
fo' a finger'stache, but
as you can see, above, it was very anti-climactic.
mine's pointing down.
hers is hardly there.
boo...
...but nothing i can't fix in post!
below
is
a jazzed up finger'stache picture
just because.
whatev.
hee hee!

we loved West Side Story --the movie,

they just changed so much...too much,
and Tony wasn't...Tony.

*starbucks* coffee-cup wintertime *love* && *single*ladies* HILARITY Monday

starbucks, i think your coffee drinks are DELiSH.
really.
espesh your Cinnamon Dolce Latte.
...and i also think most of the reading i do from off of your to-go cups
are DELiSH as well:
thanks for keeping THIS coffee drinker
tickled and warm and content on some special mornings
that i treat myself to you [...like i did Fride.]
***
this was on the same cup:
my favorite stories are the ones that start "MY SiSTER AND I..."
***
**
*
have you had your MoNDAy MoRNiNG COFFE yet???
[preferably in a red cup with snowflakes...why does that excite one so??]
*
**
***
...if not,
a single shot
of
will provide an acceptable
substitute for its caffeine burst.
***
*single*ladies* HILARITY.

happy Mond.

the most *pURRRRfect* gift from my most *perfect* bitt

my sister couldn't have gotten me a better birthday gift:
they keep my feets toasty,
remind me of the babies,
and
are just plain hilarious in my opinion.
especially
when first put near the babies:
oh, how unsure of them they were:

after a while, though,
the babies
warmed up to my slippers,
and
soon
they were friends.
***
best buddies even!
***
this pic of
Alejandro and his new *best*buddy*
cracks me up:
reminds me of this commercial
[...and actually, when I play the commercial,
and look at this photo, I wanna die with laughter]
***
**
*
i'm in love with my new slips.

thanks, bitt.

happy hippy hump day, hillbillies!

West Side Story

for next weekend!!
***
*bitt* & her boyf are coming too!
***
i. Love. That. Movie.
Love love love.
***
the sister and i watched it last night to psych ourselves up for next weekend!
***
i fell asleep before anyone died, but
got to watch one of my favorite scenes::

{{...ba ba ba, ba ba ba, 'merica...}}
***

oh, love!
***
take a look below at the whole scene:


How brilliant??!!
my favorite dance segment is from 5:07 to 5:55.
I want a dress just like Rita Moreno's...all that fabric in the skirt!!
***
*yay*
if you haven't ever seen,
or if you haven't seen it in a while,

happy Friday, sharks! ;)

me + Mally Roncal + Henri Bendel's in NYC?? to be or not to be?

so...here's the story:
my favorite makeup-artist is Mally Roncal.
[you might have seen her on the Rachel Ray Show a few times]
[shown below]
i made an appointment for my bitt & i to get the makes done by her people on Wednesday, November 3rd because...she will be in the house!
**
so exciting...I'd get to meet her!
**
however,
my sister has sham-college lab class,
she doesn't want to come,
and I don't want to go solo...
...
...
...
...
...
...but should I??
*
*
*
*
*
I really want to go, and
finally get to purchase some of her totally awesome makes!
*
*
*
*
it would be an adventure,
if nothing else,
GPSing my way through the streets of NY,
getting a make-over for no reason,
getting to meet Miss Mally herself!
*
*
*
*
*
i keep thinking:
save it for a better time
when thesis papers aren't due,
when you have luxury time to travel into the city,
and luxury money to spend on things such as make-up...
*
*
*
*
then i think:
yo, girl!
your *2010* is HERE!
...and it's
almost up!
Your birthday's right around the corner,
treat yo'self, homie!
*
*
*
*
*
what's your opinion on the matter?
should i cancel the appointment?
OR
go solo?
:)

*new*

one word post title. new.
i chose it
for a number of reasons,
most below.
some not below.
read on,
then i'd love love love -really & trules- to hear
what's been/what's going to be
new with you.

first,
as said in my last post,
i got a new haircut.
it looks nothing like the hair above, as i was too chicken shit
to go for the bangs, but it is a trimmed version of the way-too-long long-ass layers i was shaggily rockin' for a minute and a half.
**
Ryan, the h'cutter,
did give me some new face-framin' pieces.
[as i type now, the pieces are in my peripheral, and i kinda like it]
*
**

i also am on the hunt for new knee socks.
the cute kind that i see peeking out from under a tall boot
like here and here and here.
*

**
*
i've also been ready for a new cell, and i believe
the lucky winner of that honor is the iPhone 4.
*
howevs,
i want it in white.
*
the boyf & i
are about ready to cave, though.
fuck it. once we go black, we'll never go back
...to another phone???
iPhone4...R U the 1?

after getting my hair cut on friday,
i discovered what i had suspected all last week:::
that
would be
my
new
favorite
place for
tasty treats of
love
and
joy
and
unfathomable deliciousness:
the most worth it half-hour drive anyone could make
*
the selection was overwhelming:
*
i ended up going with a *taste*pack*
and a *caramel*apple* cupcake:
*
i wanted to wait 'til i got home to eat it with some
hot,
organic,
green,
blueberry tea,
but i
couldn't wait
& nibbled in the car::
[notice the new haircut?? no?? yeah, it's way subtle, i guess]
*
i bought a notebook with my new favorite piece of advice,
and
looking at this photo makes me remember
that i need to get a new favorite tea mug.
*
this guy,
blogged about here,
fell on the floor
& broke his handle.
*
awww...adios, smiley-face tea mug!
*

this weekend,
i saw a brand new view of the
New York City
skyline:
one from the top
autumn & us on top of bear mountain
*
tip tippy top,
fall foliage freeze frame,
breathe in, breathe out
*
oh goodness:
northface // ugg boots
\\
//
\\
//
\\
//
*fall uniform*
*
[i miss my flip flops]
*
the boyf
zoomed
himself & i
through the winding, twisting
roads of upstate new york
on Saturday afternoon:
we even caught my
nana's favorite animal:
...and what excited me was that none of these deer
had antlers, which means they were girls.
i kept saying to Tomas:
"they were having a girl party,
they were having a girl party."
i thought it
was cute, i guess,
because obviously
females of every species need
a break from the men.
;)

speaking of that last thought,
my favorite new show has been
on HBO.
it grips me every Sunday night.
i think it's really a lot of fun,
and
refreshing,
and i would say "tune in"
but you've
had to have watched the previous weeks
to love it too.
*
anyway,
on last night's episode,
Mrs. Schroeder said this to Van Alden:
"I've been lectured a great deal...by men who speak boldly, but do nothing."
my new favorite quote.
*

also worth mentioning
[although you might think me monotonous
and lame, but i don't care]
is my love for
the ((relatively)) new babies::
they are getting so big,
and they're only 6 months old this week.
*
they're also growing in snuggliness
and are incredibly hilarious.
*
case in point,
this snapshot of them
holding each other
while taking their
afternoon nap:
how could i resist??

this one's a little guilty.
hee hee.
i need to make a new deposit into my
bank account so i can use my
debit card to make an online purchase of these
Boutique 9 Boots and add a new pair
to my fall-shoes-repertoire:
i wanted them in black,
like i saw Maegan have 'em in,
but the place i found them in my size,
only's got grey.
*
i'll deal.
*
i'm pretty sure i HAFF to have 'em.

new music.
two of my favorites have been:
and
*
yep. on loop.

*
'nother "new"??
in my opinion,
the freshest new
color combo for *FaLL*2010*::
raspberry

& grey

[if you scroll back up to the Bear Mountain pics,
you'll see peeking out from under my Northface
is my raspberry/grey striped sweater
that i wear whenever i can]
*
**

**
*
what else is "new"?
the
new bedroom
i've been conjuring up
with my
interior-decorating-expert
of a bitt, my sister.
we eyed this Vera Wang comforter from Kohls
[and when i have her to find the link for me, i'll link it]
gorgios.

*
finally,
lastly,
in conclusion,
to end,
wrapping up...

my *2010* is ALMOST OVER,

and that means

I working on a new layout/blogging vehicle/title/avenue

for the new blog to be mine come the end of 2010.

****

i can't believe it.

more on that to come.

****

today's a new Monday of a new week.

what's been//will be new wit'chou??

[i knew you'd read to the end]
