Black and Blue

I've been searching for a huge bag to bring to campus that fits my sneakers for the gym, my packed lunch, my coffee mug from the morning, my notebooks...I'm like a nomad. This one could fit Nerms too if I needed to bring her somewhere :) Black and blue is my new favorite color combination, especially going into fall. I got it for $50 from a store called Francesca's on Halsted (if you're in Chicago). It's that store's specific brand.

Tiled Headboard

If these were less expensive I'd think about tiling a headboard for my bed. I figure I'd need like 50 or so of them and at $18 that's just not practical. But wouldn't that look so cool and unique?

Found on Apartmenttherapy but from Urban Outiftters.

Desktop Wallpaper from Frankie

I am such a loser, I skipped out on my gradschool orientation to go to the gym, and then sit around catching up on blogs. I've got 2 years to get to know these people though right??

Reading Black Eiffel today I saw Frankie Magazine, which is a whole lot like Nylon but exists in the Australia. They have a whole section for pretty computer wallpapers which I always think are fun. I find myself switching in and out of wallpaper for my screen quite a bit with my mood.
Ps: thanks for all the good luck on the test!! I needed it badly. I will know by next week how I did.

Stuffed Peppers

The first thing I ever really cooked were these stuffed peppers and I think I've got it down now. Ground beef, onions, cooked and then combined with white rice and enchilada sauce. Then you boil the peppers with their tops cut off, stuff, cheese em' and bake for 5 minutes. Voila!

Please wish me luck on my calculus/algebra placement exam which will last me from 9am-12pm tomorrow :( My brain is so tired and sick of numbers! Have a good Monday everyone.

Burberry Rain Coat

I had the best afternoon shopping with my parents. We went to the farmer's market, and then my Mom and I went to the mall. She was so sweet and bought me some cute new shoes, and blue corduroy pants. But the highlight of my shopping trip was this Burberry rain coat which I made the mistake of trying on. I am now starting a fund to raise $695 for a jacket that protects me from the rain...from Burberry.

Happy Friday

Today REALLY felt like fall. I know I keep saying that. Nerms was feeling the chill when I took my air conditioner out of the window and put the screen in. She's never felt the wind before, being from nyc and all. The sunset looked really pretty off of my back porch too. Have a good weekend!

Rabeanco Ellie Bag

Ahhhh I just fell in love with this bag from Rabeanco, a bag design company from Hong Kong that I can't seem to really find anywhere! It is sold out on Custarddesigns website, the only place I could actually find legitimate Rabeanco bags. The straps have sequins!

BB Dakota

I am really getting into this colder weather. It makes for some wonderful hair days, frizz free. I really like BB Dakota's fall stuff. It's part punk, part lumber jack, and part 60s mod. Nice combo I'd say.

Domino Gets me Ready for Fall

It seems that when the temperature drops, so does my ability to hold myself back from purchasing all sorts of sweaters and boots. As I've been doing calculus for 3 weeks now, I'm tempted to come up with a formula that represents this function of temperature rates as relating to my bank account...

I have picked some semi-affordable things from Domino's October issue that I'm considering.

Can I get a 2nd opinion on these boots from Revolve clothing? They are cool because they have a hidden wedge, but I'm not sure that wedge is really attractive. I am only 5' so this feature would be beneficial!This red "groupie" bag from shopintuition is pretty cute, and large! Only $70.Ok, this one's not really "affordable" but I am in love with it. I NEED to find a green coat that fits like this. From new designer yigal azrouel.

Simpson Chair at EQ3

I had to check out EQ3 which Holly from Decor8 posted on today. I was slightly disappointed with the prices having geared up for them to be within my range. But I did get a new idea while browsing their site. I have this corner in my room that I'd like to use for "dressing" (aka throwing clothes onto when I'm too lazy to store them). How cute is this little guy?
