I have one of these on my desk. Yum. <3
These are incredibly tasty. There was a guy I knew all throughout grammar school and high school that liked Cookies and Creme icecream so when I was asked to decorate his football locker our senior year—I was cheerleading captain and each cheerleader was given specific football players’ lockers to decorate the night before a home game—I put one of these in there.
Since having tried it then I have been a white chocolate fan—especially white chocolate mixed with Oreo cookie pieces.
Yum.
I just saw this on The Sartorialist and wanted to share it. Lately I’ve been noticing an increase in stylish kids; blogs and magazines have also been paying close attention. What piques my interest is that these children are often dressed like mini-adults. Their hair and makeup styling along with their couture clothing or creative combinations are so on point with my own generation that it makes the viewer look twice. One magazine I’m liking right now is a French style magazine for children, Milk, that uses a solid mixture of baby couture and indie-street wear to style the youngsters on their pages. Their website is not as compelling, but I’ll make a point to scan some fashion editorials later this week.
The photo above is of course a girl dressed more out of culture and community consciousness rather than style-awareness. Her innocence and old-timely feel are refreshingly young—similar to seeing your four-yr-old in OshKosh B’gosh rather than Suri Cruise-inspired miniature heels. The “look” is topped off by the side-of-the-road bare feet that make me smile warmly-then-squirm.
As awesome as it is to see children dressed better on the whole than me and my peers I am smacked in the face by the reality of financial waste. They will grow out of these threads in a year—tops. Moreover, it’s nice when you see a kid just being “a kid”, rather than being plagued by cell phones, laptops and leopard-print minis.
What are your thoughts?
• High-waisted swim bottoms for the ultamite hour-glass figure.
• American Apparel nailpolish in “butter” (named after their high-waisted zipper pants in the same color.
• Lace… anything in lace
• Aimee Bender’s book “The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake”
• My 33.8 ounce Smart Water for $1 at Whole Foods
• Marie Claire’s new August Issue with Dakota Fannin on the cover. That’s a pretty sweet cover shot.
• Mid-length crop tops—what a time warp.
• Mod Cloth… spending far too much time, energy and money on that site.
• L Magazine’s 2010 Summer Screen lineup.
How to trick people into thinking you’re good looking A video by JennaMarbles
“Before I go to work I like to pump myself up by crying over my Master’s degree!”
Saw this on my friend’s FB wall earlier today. Funny video… and the shitty editing only adds to it.
A comment on FB about office popularity made me start singing this out loud… so I searched for the file.
“They can’t print what we paint. They print optically: little dots. You know blue and yellow makes green but we paint green so we can make it a lot richer.”
Sorry I’ve been MIA for a bit folks. I’ve been job-hunting and have been sucessful. I start the new one soon though that’s all the info I can give you for now.
I’m also on break at Jury Duty… more ASAP. Life is in transition. When I come back I’ve got a few surprises up my sleeve. Yay!
