PREDICTABLE

Celine pre-fall 2011

Predictable referring to me and my unwavering love for this new era of Celine. Not as stomach-punching as previous seasons but I guess you can't keep doing the same thing over and over again, especially when everyone has started mass emulation. You're a smart one Phoebe Philo...except for when you approved those shoes. The top two are the most cartwheely for me.

One of those moments when you feel like an ad is speaking to you directly...

Damn you skateboard! Celine - 1, Wallet - 0.

VERY MUCH MELTING MY FACE

Proenza Schouler Pre Fall 2011 (still don't understand pre seasons)

Those ikat/baja/neon/what-in-the-world prints are exactly what I never knew I needed.

Spring is going to vomit color all over me. Can't wait.

Note to self: gigantic cholo shorts with proportions that make no sense whatsoever. ASAP!

Never disappointing.

WORDS WITH FRIENDS

Yesterday was my dear friend's birthday so we surprised her with dinner at Lazy Ox in Little Tokyo. I'd never been before, even though I pass by it nearly ever weekend so I was excited to finally see what everyone (read: my three friends) has been talking about.

Pixelman proclaims this as the best IPA ever...and he knows IPAs like I know Manhattan SVU.

We both wanted to pick this up and eat it like a microwave baguette pizza but resigned ourselves to eating it with silverware like the civilized restaurant patrons we were. Actually, it was only to save our friends the embarassment so we decided we'd come alone next time and order four to make sandwiches out of them and go to town.

It's nice to try a new place with friends because you can order a little bit of this and a little bit of that and try everything. Then when you go alone in your sweatpants next time, you can order ten of just what you liked and let the elastic stretch to max capacity with no guilt or shame. Forks and knives optional.
