SWAG

This is just a quick update, since my day came and went way quicker than I would have liked.

My roomate gave me a new straightener the other day. I love free SWAG! Impatiently I went straight to my bathroom to plug it in and try it out. I quickly realized that my electrical outlet int he bathroom was broken! Sadly that means that since I moved in over 4 months ago I haven't done my hair! That seems crazy. But I typically just thow my hair back in a bun, wear it wavy, or braid it - none of which require use of a blow dryer, straightner, or curling iron. Well here is how my hair looks straight, it is a rarity so take it in now. You never know how long it will be until i do it again!

Note to self: clean your room!

This is my new straightener

Puppy Love

Source: funny pictures of dogs and puppies

Every couple months I get the itch for a puppy. Last weekend I watched my brother's dog so the obssession with a puppy quickly came back.  I spent my weekend trying to find a puppy. I went to every pet store within 10 miles, only to find apparently they don't have puppies there! So I took my serch online to the animal shelters, and found about 100 dogs I wanted.  I quickly came back to reality, and realized that I don't already have a dog fo 3 major reasons, but I am sure I could expand this list easily.

1. I am not responsible enough. I barely remember to feed myself (and when I do it's not a proper meal - it's ice cream!) I like to be able to come and go whenever I want, and often go away for weekends.

2. My roomate HATES dogs. I don't mean just simply dislikes them, she can't even fatham why people get dogs. She is a cat person to say the least.

3. My apartment doesn't allow dogs.

Oh well...I will just have to continue waathcing dogs for the weekend, or get a cat.

My borthers dog. I taught him french this weekend too ;)

Missed Missoni

After quite a hectic day of wheeling and dealing at work, I headed over to Target to pick up a few peices from their new Missoni collection. I was highly dissappointed o only find the childrens apparel available at my local Target. I had planned on blogging about my new purchases, so instead I'll let you know what I would have bought! I guess I will have to stop by there again tomorrow to pick these things up...

To die FOUR

Okay so it's not that serious, I am not going to die for any of these. But I do live for them!

1. Alex and Ani bracelets

I love these bracelets. I mix and match gold and silver, and pile them on along with a bunch of other bracelets. My wrists may jingle while I type, but they look good while doing it!

2. Rebecca Minkoff

I am becoming obsessed with RM.  It started with the crossbody clutch above, and I just scored this wallet for $50 bucks at Nordstrom Rack! It was such a bargain I couldn't pass it up, although I am supposed to be on a strict budget right now.

3. Snickers Ice Cream bars!

YUM! I could eat an entire box myself.

4. Eyeglasses

I love eyeglasses - yet I wear my contacts daily. I just don't look great in glasses, but somehow convince myself to spend unnecessary money on them. So this year, I took advantage of a Flexible Spending Account at work for any medical expenses. I added an extra $400.00 in there this year to splurge on glasses guilt-free.  Now I just need to decide which ones, I narrowed it down to these three I think.

One Chic Geek

This blog was created to be an outlet for my fashion-obsessed mind. I recently left the fashion industry to work in electronics. It sounds boring, but its really not bad - I buy the product. Really the two industries aren't all that different - I am finding electronics to be as hectic as a live runway show 24/7. While I become more familiar with gigahertz and megabytes, I wanted to be sure I stayed in touch with the fashion industry that i used to live and breathe through work.
