cotton candy

been feeling like getting very girly as the weather warms up. cannot get enough of pink!

may day will mark my time as a vegetarian at 4 months! it really hasn't been very hard. not that i ate a ton of meat before but, ya know, it narrows down your lunch choices. i'm exited to eat my backyard tomatoes and peppers when they grow up, but i'm also planning to get a csa, which is a share in a local organic farm. they drop off a big box of fruits, veggies, and other eatables every week(or every other week) all summer. it will make sure i eat my veggies!

hope it doesn't weird anyone out that i talk about food so much on here! it's just that i've started to think about what i eat a lot more. not like in a diet way, but in a planetary way... ya knowwwww. not that i want to preach or anything, but it's interesting to think about. and hello, i've been living with a vegan for a year so it was inevitable..

yeah yeah, bangs trimming time again already??

best weekend

so, i mentioned that my friends from tokyo were coming to philly. we had so much fun! they are so fun and of course supa kawaii. back story: me and andrew (my roommate) met them at a party in tokyo when we did a semester abroad.

mariyo & mika

they brought us yummy japanese snacks, such as giant pocky and our fave rice/soy/peanut snackers (don't know how to say the name though!)

we took them sight seeing a little bit

cheesin' at love park

and ate way too much for brunch

i had a yummy asparagus and dill omelette

and of course we took them out and showed em how philly gets down!

so down, in fact, that andrew chipped a tooth on the dance floor, followed shortly by me getting a nose bleed. but all is well now.

we were so sad to see them go! as they ran to the bus back to new york, mika stuck this amazing thank you card in my hand:

wilting flower

i have so much to say but no time to type it all!

i'm done with classes in a little over a week, graduate a week after that, have so much work to do and just so much chaos running through my head about "what's next" (?????)

also have some japanese friends in town for the next two days, so we're busy running around the city! more to come when i get a minute to upload photos.

lazy sunday

kinda lazy outfit, but it was kinda a busy weekend. i worked saturday and sunday, watched some movies (the shining, heavenly creatures, date night; great, good, and extremely mediocre, respectively), and got a new phone- nothing fancy, just that my old phone was on its last legs.

speaking of which, i started a tumblr- so far just a couple photos i took with my phone- so you guys can check that out if you feel like it. i started it after looking though calivintage's tumblr which is just chock full of inspiration (including moi! blush face, thx erin), and well, why not?

new (old) dresses!

my boss at the vintage shop had a bale breaking this weekend at her warehouse.. unfortunately a lot of the bale had gotten wet & moldy before it got to her, and we spent a long time sorting through stinky stuff, so customers wouldn't have to. but i found some amazing 60's dresses, including a dress i'll probably wear all summer. hopefully she'll be doing some more of these this summer, it's open to the public if anyone lives near philly (uh, did i mention it's only $5 per piece)!

also this... (is that tennesse thomas i see there, um YES!)

in stores april 25th....

spring spring spring spring!

i've been skipping way too many classes to go hang out in parks and eat baguettes, that habit stops now!

i met up with my bud rachel who was in town for a minute from LA, and we decided we are going to do some sort of collaboration in the near future involving vintage, thrifting, interior decorating and flea markets. any ideas guys? anyway, i'm mostly bringing her up to remind her (yeah, you) to post about her apartment- especially the hallway she wall papered from freebies from an anthropologie photo shoot!
