You know, I never really thought I would have to deal with the negative comment thing on my little unknown place in the blog-o-sphere. It shocks me that someone would take the time to write something like that on a blog that I haven't even updated in a while and that has never had more than 6-8 comments on any post. I thought I had taken off anonymous commenting since I was getting some random spam on old posts but I guess I failed to do that. So I have now-- if you're going to say something like that at least man up to who you are -- but I'm not going to turn on comment moderation unless this becomes a problem. Anyway, I was planning a nice post for the weekend since I'm back for break and becoming a human post-finals again, woo-hoo! And- this weekend marks my one year blog anniversary! I know I haven't been very consistent with updating, but I've still kept up with this blog and it's honestly something I'm quite proud of. I write it for myself, and if people like what I write, that's great, if they don't, then too bad.
Now, to leave you with some nice things :)
I am getting this bag for Hannukah:
(yeah my family is good with surprises... haha)
{small filson field bag}
It's a good size and I think it'll be quite versatile.
I've also been lusting after these boots, especially because I need a new pair of snow boots to make it though my next Ithaca winter, but it was these or the bag and I don't really need new snow boots until next year because I'll be spending the rest of winter (post January 7th) in London, not Ithaca! :)
{pajar grip boots}
I was undecided on what color I liked (I thought red was the best but my winter jacket is green...) but I saw them in a store the other day and the brown looks much better in person ;)
But that's irrelevant for the time being anyway.
Some other pretty things:
{Silver Anthro Oxfords}
{Rodarte for Target}
(must go! Starts December 20th!)
I'm not actually that big a fan of this particular model and the accessory combos they are showing but I think a lot of the individual pieces are great.

Anyway, I started this post this morning and got interrupted to go have lunch and wander about town with a friend of mine. We had a really nice time- ate in the Grand Central dining concourse (I had veggie samosa- yum!), browsed the holiday market, and ended up walking down to check out the Macy's windows, complete with crazy looking elves and interactive letter writing stations... and they talked to us... crazy o_o haha.
After we parted ways, I was completely revalidated from this morning's slight setback... a cute young Korean woman stopped me on the street. Her English wasn't great but she said she worked for a Korean fashion magazine or something like that and wanted to take "a picture of my style" ! I was all bundled up in my usual coat and hat, my black cashmere scarf, and these flats with some nice wool cabled tights. Anyway, I gave her my e-mail and blog URL so if she finds her way here: hi! - you really helped make my day :)
I had been doing some hopping from store to store to keep warm and browse and after that I went to gap kids and tried on some of the Stella McCartney pieces. I would really love the grey cashmere hoodie but I have a feeling a lot of other small adults had the same thought as well... the biggest size left was a medium (6-8)! It fit... but obviously was really tight and silly looking. I also tried on (in various sizes- there weren't a lot of XLs/XXLs left in anything...) the cashmere leggings (swoon... so comfy but so unnecessary), the grey leopard sweater dress (a large), the tulle skirt in green (which fit and looked great but is way to silly to purchase...), a party dress (really cute and pretty but too short and wide) and an interesting long-sleeve button down which I almost bought. I might actually go back for it... unless I can somehow get my hands on that hoodie. The boy's military jacket is of course also gone in any size anyone over the age of 14 could imagine fitting into, haha.
an amusing video of someone trying to squeeze into some of these looks, haha:
The BFF also got home last night -- *joy* -- and I made some cookies (snickerdoodles) to welcome him home.
{still working on my food photography... it gets dark out so early now so the light's not in my favor}
Anyway... guess this post didn't turn out so bad after all. More outfit posts soon hopefully--I'm actually somewhat unpacked now and can therefore find some clothes to wear ;)

ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, that really sucks about the negative comment. I usually try to turn negative comments into constructive criticism, which they usually aren't, but it helps me take them well.
ReplyDeleteSo much great stuff in this post. I want that bag!
