If I can manage to find them, these will be my next "flats" from Won Hundred. Love the little wrinkly bits in the back.
ANSWERS PART I
I wasn't sure how to tackle all the questions at first - do I edit? select a few? go in order? I just decided to group them into categories and go from there. Here we go with the first of a three part series...
{RANDOM ASS QUESTIONS}
What's wrong with flannel?
absolutely nothing, I wear it almost everyday
Why can't you show us photos of you in a flannel, jeans, and Vans 24/7?
is that a request? because I can...I just assume it would get boring after a while
Hello, do you want to start a long hair club?
Hi! I would love to! Wait 3 years for me to grow it out again yeah??
Did you ever get one of those hand candles? I reall y want the black one, the "Fuck You" candle but have no idea how to get it!
I never got around to it. Check their site here for stockists. Order me one too while you're at it!
What's the most irritating place you've gotten a mozzie bite?
I lived in Korea, where mosquitos overflow in the summertime and I swear they're trained in hypermilitantannoyance tactics. These fools are unrelenting and might I add stupid - they will suck you til they explode. I once had ONE mosquito bite me ELEVEN times in one night, two of which were graciously on each eyelid. I looked like I got a precision donkey kick to the face.
{HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIOS}

You have to live with one celebrity. Who would your famous roommate be?
Jenny Shimizu. I could be her little sister. Call me!
If you could travel back in time & be a famous person of your choice, who would you pick?
James Earl Ray. I would shoot myself instead of MLK Jr.
If you had to choose a selection of people to have round for dinner, and have a big chin wag with, who would it be and why?

Shoes - any black flats
Comfort rules my world.
If you could pick someone to be your twin, who would it be?
How about if I could be someone else's twin? I would take Bar Rafaeli's body.
Batman or Robin?
Batman!
Lanvin or Celine?

What three things would you bring on a stranded island?

Easy! Shoes! I'm a cheapass with clothes...I'll wear your dad's yellowy under tee and your brother's dingy sweat pants if I can just have some nice shoes on my feet.
{THIS OR THAT}
Hummingbird or flamingo?
Hummingbirds seem cooler and dainty, whereas flamingos are more dopey...much like myself.
Which do you prefer: Rick Owens or Margiela?
I would love to be a RO girl, but I'm more Margiela I think.
What's more important to you - your Gareth Pugh two-tone ankle boots or Mr.T?
Wearing my Pugh boots to hangout with Mr.T would be the jam. Don't make me choose.
Cat person or dog person?
I HATE CATS.

I couldn't stalk Jenny Shimizu or keep up with some of my friends without a frickin Twitter so finally caved and made one. I promise you my life is not nearly interesting enough to "tweet" (ugh) about, much less blog about, but you can follow me if you'd like to hear me complain about moron drivers or go batshit over a sale on toilet paper. To each his own!
Click the image above or the flamingo in the side bar. Yes, it's a bird...flipping you the bird.
TEPPER TUMBLR
My friend does this thing with me sporadically over AIM/iChat that he refers to as "Real Time Tumblr" haha. It's my favorite part of the work day. You should try it. The randomer the better.
PAINTER + GOOD & PLENTY
How fun does Caillianne from Beckerman Bite Plate look here? I admire how they always seem to have so much fun with their clothes and photos. I'm not into all their looks per se, but I don't think you have to be completely in sync with someone's fashion choices to respect their creativity and ballsiness. This is, however, one of the times I'm 100% on board with the entire look - not only because she has a version of the Stella shirt I want and don't even get me started on those Chanel boots. I don't even like the color purple, but that Etro bag is giving me the chills.
MORE SHIT
Can someone please find me this Topshop top I saw on Rich Hippie?? I only see it in grey or brown online and how friggin annoying is it getting that friggin Los Angeles still does not have a friggin Topshop. If any of you are near a Topshop and can locate a black one or if you have one hey! sell it to me yeah! Let's talk - stopitrightnow.blog@gmail.com
Need I even explain?
Leather-wrapped Super Flattops. Coming soon to Barneys.
"You never met a shoe you didn't want."
Says my man. Absolutely not true, but I do admit that when he gives me the usual reprimand, I almost always respond with some variation of "No you don't understand, I've been wanting these for a while..." which, in my defense, is usually true. I don't typically get too obsessive over any current or upcoming shoes, but rather, find myself hunting and scouring eBay and the www for past season shoes that have constantly eluded me. After all, I'm no millionaire or even thousands-ionaire, so I have to pick and choose and put a lot of thought into which shoes I can actually afford to buy - even after extensive research over the absolute cheapest possible prices. He finally got sick of me sounding like a broken record so had me make him a tangible list of these shoes that I have allegedly "been" hunting, to prove the list is not growing exponentially by the day. Of course there are a few new(ish) pairs, but in the vast sea of shoes that come out every single season from countless designers and brands, one or two is nothing really. Mind you, there are of course shoes other than what's on this list that I ooh and ahh over or blog about and occasionally do purchase, but here is my ultimate wanted list of shoes that keep me up late at night and give me heart murmurs when I think about them.
The stars are the top top TOP ones that I think if I could just get those, I would quit buying shoes altogether, but they always seem to be in the wrong size or ridiculously priced. Some of them you might notice I've had previously but got rid of in hopes of finding the more favored colorway or a better-fitting size.
I would say my man generally thinks all my shoes are crazy and over-the-top, but I'm always thankful that he's a creative-type and can still appreciate the art I value in them. I was really shocked at his favorite pick from the lot, but immediately took that as a green light to pull the trigger and finally get them. Yes, I got another disapproving head shake...but at least I know for sure he'll like them.

This makes me want to have a little guy. Need a little Joey Hysteric.
note to self: bleached Vans
LIFE AS I KNOW IT
Sorry for the slow down in updates. I made a (temporary) move to be closer to work since my commute was sucking all the life and motivation out of me. It blows when you only have 3 personal hours a day to get everything done - including eating dinner and showering before sleep - so more like 1.5 hours for internet/movies/bf/friends/errands/bills/laundry/etc/etc...
I will miss you lake.
Randomly saw my old Bumble & Bumble campaign in a salon window in Berkeley.
Yard sales.
I'm beyond paranoid of talking on my cell while driving but I will, without hesitation, risk my life to get pictures like these...
Almost got into an accident for this one.
Don't need a cookie to tell me I'm fortune-less.
Coworkers' birthday breakfast potlucks end up like this when you leave it to the boys.
And like this when you leave it to HR.
Nevada desert.
Oh hi.
Aging...
Saying goodbye to these sunsets. For now.
