My right ear (just the one, remember?) is obsessed with those twisted ones. Also, since taking these photos just last week, there's already been a slew of new and inexpensive additions being strung on my t-bar... which are now just hanging out with the rest of the family until I stop favoring this one pair. Similar to what I learn in Anthropology: investing in one offspring is at the cost of the parent's ability to invest in another. Only in this case, earrings... and not little monkey babies. Yeah? No. This is just a phase, I swear.
I just recently realized that I had stopped wearing earrings for the past couple of Fall months. Strange. I've since taken a complete u-turn and been on the constant lookout for things to adorn my little ears and have even decided that I actually want more holes in them... yikes. Sorry mom. Anyways, I'll just show you this pair for now; I bought these fat, silver pellets to wear everyday and to basically just act as fillers. Meaning, I'll just wear one in the left since I'm totally into this whole 'wearing one long earring and having my hair behind my right ear' thing. Don't know where I picked that up from but it's dangling on with me for sure throughout this Spring.
PS. Who knows how to do palm readings? I used my macro lens to take the photos of these little guys and they brought out every little line!
This is what I wore the other day with my new pair of light gray, silk, high-waisted trousers that can double up and go undercover as pajama pants... the transition from work to play (er, sleep) has never been easier. At 50% off, I don't mind taking them to the drycleaners every once in a while after waking up in them wrinkled, haha. We actually just finished moving a pile of 10+ garbage bags full of old clothes that we're either sending to the Philippines or donating here locally - which ultimately makes me feel good - but also now gives me a blank wall to take full photos in front of. Should make use of it soon... or maybe not. For now I hope you're satisfied with a third of me and only a description of said pants. Moving on, tonight I have the worst migraine ever which seems to be a 2-day permanent thing even despite taking the maximum amount of Advil's allowed within these 48hrs, so I'm staying in and cuddling with myself. If that's not going to cure it then I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
...how nutty, Winter is going by just as quick as it came. Perhaps because I've been keeping myself steadily busy so far this semester, with a full load of 5 courses (which I had yet to do in my post-secondary career)... I'm really cracking down on myself. I need to. I need this. I've been finding great pride & satisfaction in making to-do lists in my moleskine and checking off each and every little box at the end of the night. It's a dope feeling and in all honesty, I do get to sleep with my chest feeling a little lighter. Then I wake up to do it all over again.
As a result, blogging is being taken to a minimum and I'm trying to stick to this whole one-post-a-day approach to it... which unsurprisingly opens up a whole new window of time in my life to focus on other things like geology, business law, statistics, accounting and evolutionary anthropology... awesome. It's just so crazy how obsessed I was before, and now that I've finally found an overall look and feel that reflects what I want this blog to be... I'm happy with where this is slowly but successfully going. So holla to my new followers, those who have been commenting, and of course the girls at work who have all just found out about this thing. Speaking of which! Watch out for a sick collaboration between yours truly and my homegirl Hayley, which will make its debut on here shortly.
So what else is in an update? Recent purchases above.
Brought home these three beauties last Monday and they've been on my fingers since. Seeing as how they were obviously created in the image of the incredibly coveted Yves Saint Laurent Arty Rings (or so I'd like to think), I thoughtfully photographed them atop Stefano Pilati's pages in my "100 Contemporary Fashion Designers" Taschen. Sure, they may not be the real deal but for like... 1/10th of the price, they dutifully attract the attention of my colleagues while my hands flail around writing notes and manage to catch some stares from customers while I ring them thru at till.
YSL-inspired rings, Forever 21.
