I don't think one realizes how much stuff they have until everything is piled in your trunk, back seat, and passenger seat.

And boy, do I have a lot of things.

FINDERS KEEPERS. . . .

2009-12-13T18:21:00.000-08:00

So today I had a "garage sale", well I wouldn't really call it a garage sale solely for the fact that it was held on the bottom floor of my townhouse and there were cupcakes and champagne served. But those small details don't matter. . .

It was a great turn-out, not only did I get rid of many many things but, I also had the chance to see some people that I know I will never see again.

And that's always nice.

During our dead period, Danielle (my little helper and VIP shopper) and I decided to take some photos.

She's wearing the American Apparel Scoop Neck Leotard and a Tibi Skirt.

I am wearing a Silence & Noise Dress (turned into a top), 3.1 Phillip Skirt, and my oh so favorite Marc Jacobs Belt.

The dress/top that I'm wearing might be my favorite piece in my closet. Look at those structured shoulderss! Man!

Oh yeah, my hair is black again.

Word on the street is that I have some new followers today. Welcome welcome darlings.

Anyways. On the 13th of this month, I will be having a little soiree/garage sale. I am returning to NYC on Christmas Day (that's the plan as of right now) and will be needing to get rid of some things. It will be a chic shopping experience filled with cupcakes, champagne, and photographs. Invitations have been sent and so far I am getting an amazing response. Multiple people have texted/called saying they want "first look". Sorry babes, I'm not a department store.

I created a betchin' playlist this morning and I can't stop listening to it.

Listen to it HERE .

Prepare yourself, you'll want to get up and dance, the Edie Sedgwick way.

I wore my leapy coat today to school and I got many odd looks and "what did you kill" comments. Initially I had on my trusting bowler hat, but I felt I needed something sweet to offset the loud coat. Voila, satin ribbon saved the day.

I move out of my townhouse in about a month, and I am thinking of having a little "garage" sale, just to get rid of some artwork, trinkets, hat boxes, etc.

I'll create "flyers" soon.

Usually I'm not the one to match, but I couldn't help but put this top and the skirt together. I'm loving the parisian/romantic look and it might start making its way into my daily wardrobe for a bit. I'm still loving the grunge look, and I definitely feel more comfortable in it, but this is a lovely, temporary change.

Maybe it's just because I baked cupcakes all day and watched Chocolat... Who can resist watching Johnny Depp eat chocolate?

Oh yeahhh the Jeffrey Campbell x LF Alexa Wedge finally arrived! They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, yes even better than the Sam Edelman Zoe's.

What happens when one bored girl craves something sweet? An entire batch of oh-so chic cupcakes. Don't worry, they're made with splenda instead of sugar, even the icing too.

I've already eaten two.

The one that reads "cupcake" is for Lauren, because that's her pet name. I didn't just decide to write "cupcake" for no reason. My mouth is watering just looking at the photos.

Oh. . make that three cupcakes.

SUNSPOTS

I absolutely love love love sunspots!

I just arrived to my parents home for Thanksgiving weekend. I was experimenting with my camera/lighting/positioning and tried to use my father as a test subject. But, unfortunately he decided to be a tad camera shy.

I had a long chat with my BFF, Lauren today and she always knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. None of that "it's going to be okay" bullshit . . . But the real stuff. I am so grateful.

Happy Turkey Day :)

And Happy Black Friday!

I've come to the conclusion for two things.

1] My bowler hat is my "go-to" staple item.

2] This bag is my new obsession.

I ordered these dome spikes last week and I finally received them! I quickly ran out and searched for a slouchy black leather bag and found the perfect one! Along with that , I also found an oversized black crushed velvet blazer/cape/thing which I'm using the remainder of my spikes on. It's going to look gorgeous!

As of right now, I am waiting for an important phone call. This wait is making me tremble, and what other way to calm my nerves than to add another blog to Circa Meow.

PS I'm a fiend for the new Lady Gaga album. So many karaoke worthy songs. So many.

Of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which took place on Thursday, November 19th. But it doesn't air on television until the first of December.

On of my favorite photographers, Tommy Ton was chosen to document the backstage area. How far this man has gone in the last year. It amazes me.

Lazy Saturdays are so worth being unemployed. I woke up at 8 am and laid around until . . about 12:25. It was the most relaxing thing I have ever done in my life. And the only reason I peeled myself off my bed was to lunch with Bradley at The B Line.

Afterwards we decided to roam around the city looking for vintage treasures. I found an adorable white dress that I'm still debating if I want to keep. He found a grandpa-inspired cardigan which was ADORABLE on him.

I am now home, and just finished watching CLOSER for about the millionth time. If you haven't seen it, watch it immediately. The storyline is composed of a love square, no not triangle, square. It's no typical love story though. It's the saddest, most beautiful movie I have ever seen.

Plus, who can resist Clive Owen and Jude Law, not I.

Currently channeling a cute little grandpa. . . mixed with some disco.

So I applied for a job a couple of weeks ago, I won't say what position for what company because I don't want to jinx it, but it's definitely talk worthy. I must say that it is VERY difficult to obtain a job if you are not currently in that location. It's a good thing that I have past with this company or else it would probably be near impossible.

If I could give any advise to anyone wanting to be in NYC as their destination point, GET THERE. I know, it's hard to go somewhere with no job and no plans, trust me, i've been there. You think, "no way, there's too much risk involved". Please trust me when I say that the rewards outweigh the risks.

Close your eyes, count to two, and jump.

You can only go up from there.

I'm sure this morning resembled Christmas Day. Girls jumping out of bed and screaming "I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN AND JACOB BLACK". Well, at least I'm sure my little sister did that. The release of New Moon is finally here. I'm thinking that this weekend would be the perfect opportunity to go movie hopping, since they're will be loads of people frantically running around in the theaters.

See, there is an advantage for not wanting to see New Moon.

Actually, I bet you dollar that I'll end up seeing it before Friday. What can I say, I'm a movie junkie.

Ah, finally unpacked and tidied up from the post-California tornado that seemed to only hit my bedroom. I think that we brought the gorgeous/chilly weather with us and I am fully grateful. Layering has begun.

Can't believe that I'm saying this, but I really enjoyed the laid back environment that Southern California had to offer. Of course, it helped that we stayed at a friend's beach house in Belmont. Nothing felt better than waking up smelling the salty air, walking a couple of blocks, and sitting at an outdoor cafe.

We shopped around LA, traveled to Westwood for some delish sushi [where there were many many New Moon fans addicts], and then relaxed in Santa Monica.

All in all, a successful spontaneous trip.

Even iconic brands such as Phi and Alexander Wang have transformed these punk shoes for the modern day fashionista.
