"don't see me!"

2012-02-01T22:55:00.001-05:00

when my nephew was little and he was pooping, he would say to us, "don't see me!" i feel like that all of the time when i need to take an outfit pic and i don't want the boo to watch me take pics. i know he checks out my blog (hi boo!) but it still feels weird for him to watch me take my outfit pics.

you're in for a treat today - two outfit posts! i wanted to take a pic of my outfit last night but time got away from me. so i just took two sets of pics today.

today's outfit:

outfit details: sweater - old navy, skirt - from a swap, scarf - present from my mom (from UO), tights - hue, heels - UO, bracelet - gift for christmas from the boo's mom

yesterday's outfit:

outfit details: sweater - old navy, vest - present from my mom (gap), skirt - target, tights - hue, boots - swirl.com, necklace - f21

that last set of pics is so silly...i can't stand it.

happy hump day!!

monday, monday

2012-01-30T21:32:00.000-05:00

what an awesome weekend.

highlights:

* a great cry followed by amazing advice from my sister

* seeing "relatively speaking" with the boo

* my first burger from five guys!

* spiked shakes from mel's burger

* lenny kravitz live in concert at radio city

* quality time with the boo

* karaoke until 2am with friends

* brunch in brooklyn at the pillow cafe

* being completely pleasantly surprised by a 180 some people make

today, i wore this dress (which i've actually posted on the blog before) because it's comfy and was easy to throw on this AM.

outfit details: dress and turtleneck - h&m, boots - swirl.com (i miss this website!!), tights - hue, rings (from left to right) - street vendor, h&m, present from the boo, present from my parents, present from my grandmother (it's amber from the dominican republic)

i'm reallyyyyy into the multiple ring look. makes me feel like a gypsy.

sunday funday, DIYday

2012-01-29T13:36:00.000-05:00

if you saw a pic similar to this the other day:

then you know a DIY is coming.

i glitterized those shoes using the same technique that other bloggers are using these days to glitter shoes. but i wanted to put a little spin on it so i wanted them to look a bit like the universe.

materials

shoes you want to glitter (i paid $30 for these)

big jar of white glitter

blue glitter (i didn't use nearly as much of this as i thought i would)

packs of glitter dust in colors you want

tacky glue

glitter glue tubes

bowls

paintbrush

because you can get a DIY shoe glitter tutorial anywhere, i'll spare you those details. what i will tell you to do is divide up the white glitter into 4 or more bowls and mix in the glitter dust packets. i mixed a few similar colors together with the white glitter for that space-y feel.

then go to town glittering in sections. i would paint an area with glue and then pour the glitter on top. after the whole shoe was glittered, i then used my glitter glues as an adhesive on top. now, don't get me wrong - there was glitter EVERYWHERE after i wore these, but i have a feeling there would have been way more had i not used the glitter glue on top.

this was also a 2 day process for me so you have to be patient. i threw on some ny ink episodes and went to town.

business in the front...

2012-01-28T15:00:00.000-05:00

i've been meaning to post my outerwear since i get so many great compliments on it all of the time. so before checking out my outfit, here's my outerwear:

business in the front...

...party in the back!!!!

then i got distracted by project runway. whoops.

outfit details: coat - ny&co, scarf - DIY, backpack - UO (present from my mom), rainboots - nine west (present from P), sweater and turtleneck - h&m, skirt - barney's warehouse sale, tights - hue, shoes - UO from P (they're my new favs), alligator ring - present, black rhinestone ring - h&m, necklace - f21, bracelet - present, earrings - street(?)

phewwwwww...that was a lot.

the stripes on the skirt + the all black make me think of some kind of character from a tim burton movie. which makes me think that i should be more deliberate about my tim burton-like look. *brainstorming*

jeggings, oh jeggings

2012-01-27T14:57:00.000-05:00

i'm going to post about my sis twice today. get over it, we're close.

having an awesome sis means that she puts you on to some real stuff early. maybe she found it on some blog but whatever, at least she was thinking about you enough to make you buy them too. and that's how i ended up with these jeggings.

outfit details: jeggins - levi's (you can get a cheaper pair here), skull shirt - h&m, sweater - f21 from long ago, necklace - f21, rings - assorted (some i've had, some i got at h&m, some i got on fab.com), and do you see my double watches? hollerrrrr

the other thing you need to understand is that my sis is incredibly hilarious. after she got and wore her jeggings, she sent me this email:

"i wore the jeggings today. i have some notes for you:

1. put them on like pantyhouse. if you drive your foot in, as 1 normally does for jeans, they won't go thru the ankle. the ankle hole is TIGHT. so bunch them up like pantyhouse and help your foot get thru the ankle hole.

2. do everything you possibly can to pull them up. you will think that they don't fit and you will curse my name. but they do fit. i promise. just get maceo, mom, dunkin, the will of god to pull them up to your waist. once you button them, you will see that they do indeed fit.

3. walk around, bend over, bend down, jump around. see? they fit!

4. the waist and booty WILL stretch out over the course of the day. if you won't want to have to shimmy around and pull them up all day, put on a belt. if you don't mind shimmying, forget the belt.

5. prepare to receive compliments:
a. everyone was asking me why i wasn't wearing jeans today, since it was casual day. and these are the dark blue ones! so i am DEFINITELY wearing the black ones to work
b. everyone loved the waist and no one believed me that they are jeggings.
c. everyone told me my booty looked cute in them

BOOM!"

no joke. she sent me that. and i literally put on my jeggings using all of the advice she gave me. and you know what? she was right. after getting them on, i did some lunges and felt good. and look at my booty! it's looking good in that pic.

and just because it's friday and my hair is looking flyyyyyyyyyy, here's 1 more pic:

big sis advice

2012-01-27T11:46:00.000-05:00

"just remember -- you are awesome. your time is limited. your energy is limited. surround yourself with people who appreciate, support and want to enhance your awesomeness. anyone who offers less than that is just draining to your time and energy."

she always knows how to make me feel better.

favorite work dress

2012-01-26T21:00:00.000-05:00

this is my absolute FAVORITE work dress. if i could wear it everyday, i would.

outfit details: dress - f21, turtleneck - h&m, boots - swirl.com (which no longer exists...ugh!!!), necklace - present from P

this is what i look like at the end of the day so please excuse the crazy hair.

while i wait...

2012-01-25T11:26:00.000-05:00

...for my ipad to update, i thought i would snap some quick pics of my outfit.

outfit details: dress & eagle necklace - f21, sweater - mandee's, watch necklace - street fair

i didn't snap a full body pic since i already took off my shoes for the night. but, take my word for it, i wore my very cute black boots with my outfit.

the boo's bday

2012-01-24T11:29:00.000-05:00

saturday was the boo's birthday and here's a simpler version of what i was wearing:

the most important part of this pic?

MY SHOES!

which i diy'd myself. diy coming soon.

the most important part of that first sentence?

the boo's bday! happy birthday, boo! <3

i'm back...with an outfit post!

2012-01-23T21:32:00.002-05:00

i don't even know why i bought a new camera...i spend more time using photobooth on my computer and my phone's camera than my actual camera. i actually went to use my camera today but...battery was dead. crap. so it's back to photobooth.

outfit details: dress - modcloth (from the fashion week swap that the swapaholics did in the fall), blazer - h&m, tights - duane reade, shoes - UO (from my sis!)

hopefully this means i'm back...?

366

2012-01-09T22:03:00.001-05:00

not to be cliche and have crazy large dreams of things i want to do in 2012, but i do. i decided, after reading this article, that it would be really awesome to take 366 portraits this year to define each day.

i started by trying to take a self portrait everyday but i wasn't feeling that too much. i realized that i'm not always the most interesting subject to take pics of. instead, i decided to switch it up and make sure that i take a pic everyday.

here's a sampling of the pics i've taken so far:

...if you're interested in following my daily pics or seeing the ones from the past week, you can check it out here.

empathy

2012-01-03T23:44:00.000-05:00

lately, i've been really interested in the idea of empathy. it started bubbling into my brain when i thought about OWS, the differences in generations, greediness, and society. i had a long discussion over margaritas with my buddies that reminded me of how important it is that we teach people empathy.

and then i saw this on pinterest with the words "empathy goes a long way" written with it.

and so i'm back to thinking about empathy.

2012

2011-12-31T21:00:00.000-05:00

source

i've been thinking long and hard about my resolutions for 2012, especially since i keep falling off of the blogging bandwagon. what goals do i have for myself in the new year?

update my look. in 2012, i will be turning 30 and i think it's about time to start dressing as an adult. ok, i don't entirely mean that. i kinda sorta want to look a little more like an adult. but i would really love to mix the stuff i like with more classic pieces for a fun, more updated look. i love old lady style but i don't want to be an old lady yet.

make art/crafts. and i mean that literally. i just want to make. i would love love love to keep a daily art journal, but that seems way more ambitious than i am ready for. but i guess the benefits of doing that daily would be that i can get rid of all of the crappy stuff floating around in my head and finally get to the good stuff. so for now, i'll settle for making art/crafts daily.

stay inspired. i want to make sure every day is so inspiring that i just HAVE to make something. i guess this resolution and the one above it go hand in hand.

lose 10 pounds by my 30th bday. i have 6 months. i can do this. (and i don't want to hear the - "you're so skinny, why do you need to lose 10 pounds?!?" questions. i would like to be at a healthier weight for my height. BOOM!)

take more pictures. i have a new camera, i should be playing around with the settings and documenting my life. plus, i want to go back to using my old manual camera as well. lots to take pics of.

blog. because, i really want to blog. i just find that "i have no time" or my internet is so damn slow. but blogging has been great for me to see my progression and so i would like to be better at keeping it up.

stop being so damn shy about what i do / who i am / what i know / how wonderful i am. that's pretty self explanatory.

now i'm off to play some board games, listen to music and have some drinks with my buddies before the ball drops. enjoy your NYE and have a wonderful 2012!!

happy holidays!

2011-12-31T09:55:00.002-05:00

in my "i'm-way-behind-on-blogging" anxiety, i forgot to wish all of you some happy holidays!

do it with a nice sized drink (or shot) and a mustache ring, ok?

just don't do it with tequila. tequila and i broke up a few days ago. waking up to an extreme headache is not my idea of a good time.

shoe lusttttttttttt

2011-12-27T21:11:00.000-05:00

i want..all of them...can someone at lulus hook me up?

my wishlist (kinda sorta)

2011-12-08T10:12:00.000-05:00

i love online shopping because you don't have to commit to buying anything and most everything looks amazing. i love scrolling through items and picking out the things i would buy if i had a bottomless wallet of cash and a very large closet. seriously. that would be amazinggggggg.

so here's my kinda sorta wishlist of things i have been scooping out:

created by fortune turban

because turbans are the new black. duh.

the new sharpie 80's glam ultra fine point marker set

because i need new pens to write with. even though i have a million.

this duck feather crown from artemis

what girl doesn't need a duck crown?!? i would wear this while sitting on my couch reading blogs. seriously.

(i'm bummed it's already sold out!)

these lita platform boots

if you know me, you know i'm a bit of an astronomy nerd. i love the cosmos. so the idea of wearing the cosmos is even more amazing.

the workbasket sewing workbook

i vow to learn how to sew. there are just too many awesome things i could create that would compliment my crocheting.

the babooshka long sleeve tent-tee

i love to hide my food belly. ok, i don't really have a food belly but when i think i do, i like to hide it. and this dress/shirt thing would do just the trick.

what's on your wishlist? (that i can now add to my wishlist...?!?)

my life lately...

2011-12-07T21:49:00.001-05:00

computer and crocheting

damn you, sick tummy.

sick days

2011-12-07T19:28:00.001-05:00

i have been home, very sick, for this whole entire week. and not in the "i have a fever and my nose is about to fall off sick" but more of the type of sick where you get stuck in the bathroom several times during the day. TMI? well deal with it. this is what happens when you have cabin fever.

but while i was sick, i was able to look at pretty pictures online and think of things i want to make/buy. my pinterest and tumblr were busy. there are a few updates on there that should make people happy.

and then i came across old love via orchid grey's twitter.

sigh...what great celeb pics of couples that used to be.

some of my favs:

btw--i wish johnny depp and winona ryder would get back together. they were a quirky and cute couple.

phone pics

2011-12-05T17:57:00.000-05:00

1. care package for a friend in afghanistan. it warms my heart.

2. thanksgiving wine illustrations.

3. mustache cup. i want.

4. good luck cupcake.

5. crocheting for my nephew.

6. mario land in times square a few weeks ago.

7. the whopper burger bar. it was amazing.

week in outfits

2011-12-02T07:55:00.001-05:00

i took pics this week! i'm pretty proud of myself...especially since this week was one hell of a week. i'm not sure what was in the water or how full the moon was, but it was so freaking busy/crazy/hectic. there wasn't a single day i didn't go to bed before 12:30, some days i even went to bed at 2am. it was terrible. i need my sleep. and i won't be sleeping this weekend. sad panda.

i tried to look at the camera a little this week and smile (since my sis requested that). eh. not sure i'm feeling it.

this is right before i dropped my camera on the balcony concrete. d'oh. it was not pretty. my friend suggested i get a gorilla tripod and now i really really really really want one.

shirt - vintage (used to be my mom's), skirt - AA, tights - duane reade (seriously).

FYI - i didn't wear shoes in this pic because the ones i was going to wear were already at work.

loved this outfit this week. comfy and layered - my 2 favorite reasons for loving the winter.

skirt - f21, sweater and shirt - h&m, necklace - f21 (got a ton of compliments about this necklace), ring finger ring - my parents gave me that when i was in hs, pointer finger ring - h&m.

awesome wrinkled outfit. seriously, i was super wrinkled. and i refused to iron.

dress - from my sis, turtleneck - h&m, boots - UO, scarf - street vendor.

happy friday!

i missed thanksgiving? whoops....

2011-12-02T07:54:00.001-05:00

i'm thankful for a lot.

from ny to cali

2011-11-20T21:54:00.001-05:00

this picture means more to me than you can understand. seriously. that's not to say that i don't have dozens of favorite photos of my favoritist people in the whole wide world, but the reason this picture means so much to me tells a story 20+ years in the making.

when i was in 3rd grade and 8 years old, my teacher, mrs. sonnenburg, had us participate in a pen pal exchange with a school in california. I guess my class had the honor of reading generic letters from this other school and then we would have to respond to them. our teacher walked around the room plopping letters on our desks based on gender and i received a letter from a boy who's name had been mistaken for a girl. the very last line of his letter read, "you might think i'm a girl but i'm actually a boy." so my little 3rd grade self ran up to the teacher and got a new letter.

what a difference this letter was - it was written on pretty paper with nice girly penmanship. my memory is poor for details and i can't recall what was in that letter, but it was from a girl named sara who probably wrote about how much she loved music. we spent the whole year writing letters to each other and then at the end of the year we formally exchanged home addresses. i'm not sure what i was expecting other than the occasional letter in the mail (i loooooove snail mail...still love it) but what blossomed is a friendship that spans 20+ years and countless letters.

i still have a lot of the letters sara wrote to me over the years and love to sit down and read them at times. they tell the story of a girl who grows up into a teenager and then a wonderful adult. i'm not just saying that because i think sara is one of the most wonderful people i know, but because i've had the the great fortune of growing up with her. there's so much in her letters about my own life and experiences that i can only imagine what the hell i was telling her. she told me that she still has the letters i wrote her which i would love to someday read.

i've never had the opportunity to head out to california myself but a few weeks ago i received a facebook message that said something like, "i'll be in nyc! we need to try and meet up! you know this fall marks our 20 year." my response was a big fat - "WHAT!" i think my heart was literally jumping out of my body. i couldn't believe that this person who i have literally poured my whole entire soul to would be in ny. so i marked my calendar and waited.

when sara finally got to ny, we made plans to have dinner with some of her friends on the friday of her trip. i think that my nerves took over as i started to worry about this meeting. would she like me? would she think i'm incredibly annoying? would i like her? would we have anything to talk about?
i'm a worrier.

but what actually happened was better than i could have imagined. here's a person who i have written to my entire life in front of me, and even though it was our first time meeting face to face, we know each other. and we know a lot about each other. and nothing can really take that away. i think it's hard for people to understand how i could have sustained a friendship with someone through letters for so long, but i feel blessed to have had this experience. to have a connection with someone who lives miles and miles away, who you never get to see in person. it's amazing. it makes you feel more connected to the world and the people in it.

so back to this picture - this is our first picture together! it still feels really surreal to think that we actually met, but then i look at this picture and remember. i feel really lucky to have known sara my whole life and even luckier to have met her in person finally.

new picture taking spot

2011-11-20T21:42:00.001-05:00

my favorite skirt - f21, tshirt - h&m, sweater - no name, boots - via swirl.com

dress - from my sister's closet, turtleneck - h&m, boots - target (i have been LIVING in these boots), turban headband - f21

trying to find a good spot to take outfit pics has taken...3 months? yes, 3. but i think i found a spot i like where i can take some awesome pics - the balcony of our apartment.

if you didn't know before, i moved in with my mom back in august which has been awesomeeeee. she makes me coffee in the morning before i head out to work, salads for lunch and dinner, we go food shopping together, buy hotpants, watch really bad tv at night. and the other day she decided she wants to pick up crocheting again. i love that we can spend so much time together.

hopefully, with this new spot i'll be better about blogging. kinda sorta. our internet still royally sucks.

must keep this in mind.

a chicago story

2011-11-02T23:28:00.001-04:00

once upon a time, there was a lovely girl named missDTM who went out to chicago to visit her lovely bff.

they did a lot of eating during this trip. but a major highlight of the trip was hugging a gray pit bull.

while there, missDTM and her boo had the chance to visit the famous bean in millenium park.

they also decided to dress up as an angry bird and the green pig. yes, they really went out and about in chicago in these outfits.

the night was full of crazy costumes and wonderful friends.

but missDTM's least favorite part was ripping off the crazy fake eyelashes she was wearing!

the freaking end.

yes, ladies and gents, i made my way to the midwest last week. if you follow me on twitter, you would know that i literally ate my way through the town. no seriously, i ate. a lot. and fell in love with chicago. ny is cool and all but chicago is affordable and cool. those are two things i looooooove.

another thing i love is halloween. why isn't it acceptable for grown folks to get dressed up in crazy costumes more often? and when/how can i host a dress up party of my own every month of 2012?!? definitely thinking about doing that....these eyelashes make me want to do it!

i know i have been terrible at blogging lately but it literally takes about 20 minutes to upload one pic. ok, i'm exaggerating, but for real - 20 minutes for these 6 pics. that's a long time! i've been trying to get the problem fixed but customer service sucks ass.

i will try and be better about blogging in these last few weeks of 2011. for real. the holidays are my favorite time of year anyway so i should be blogging more!

xoxo

where, oh where, has DTM been?

2011-10-12T09:21:00.002-04:00

i've been distracted. there, i said it.

reasons i've been so distracted:

* revolutions.

* ending my relationship with american apparel.

* perfecting my curls.

* dinner with friends at the best burger spot in nyc.

* this britney spears song.

* planning for my trip to chicago (HOLLER).

* creating my awesome halloween outfit from scratch.

* making pirate patches and roaming around the upper west side on sunday.

new hair...kinda

2011-10-04T23:12:00.001-04:00

i've been wearing my hair natural and curly for a long, long, long long time - no chemical treatments (yes, there was a time when i chemically treated my hair), no crazy blow drying to make it straight, no gel (alcohol is the devil). but, it means that controlling this mop on top of my hair has been more and more difficult to try and figure out. my hair is definitely dry and so getting products and styling it properly became an obsession of mine. a serious obsession.

but spending money on a good curly hair cut wasn't on my list of things to do right away.

until last week. not sure what got into me but i went on the devachan website and booked an appointment for myself. i think my hair situation was just looking terrible so i knew that spending the money on a great cut was necessary.

the experience was ok...honestly, i'm not into stylists that make faces and make me feel like crying and laughing all at the same time because of the crazy faces they're making. but, the cut is amazing, my hair looks and feels healthy, and they gave me a ton of tips for dealing with my crazy hair.

i have some crazy hair.

D's DIY

2011-09-27T00:16:00.001-04:00

i am a super duper huge fan of these boots i saw on mr. kate:

and i had to DIY them for myself.

so, here's my process for making my own version of those.

materials:

cowboy boots

2 belts

bandana

fabric

string

beads

sewing kit

i took a pair of steve madden cowboy boots i bought a really long time ago and folded them over.

i like symmetry so i made sure i choose materials that i would be able to cut in half and use on both (except for the belts).

from left to right:

2 belts from my dad, a really long belt from mexico that i've never worn, a belt from a dress i owned a long time ago from h&m, a red leather string with some skull beads, a bandana and some beads.

close up:

step 1:

i cut the bandana in half and tied it to the boot.

step 2:

because i'm terrified of stuff falling off the boots, i actually sewed the edge to both boots:

step 3:

i tied the mexican belt to both pairs of boots. i didn't reinforce it by sewing it because i knew there was going to be a bunch of other stuff on top of it (plus - i sewed a little in the next step).

step 4:

i sewed one edge of the other belt to the boots. i mainly did that because after i cut this belt in half, i knew that i wouldn't be able to tie it around the boot the way i would have liked to.

so instead, i wrapped the material around the boot and tied the edge to the bandana:

after i tied the leather string with skull beads, this is what the back of the boots looked like:

step 5:

i made holes in the belts because the ones on them weren't at the right location on the belt (i didn't take pics of this process because i used a hammer and a nail and it was dangerous). then i wrapped the belts around the boots twice.

VIOLA! the finished boot:

i can't wait to wear these out!

necklaces + a new scarf

2011-09-18T21:14:00.004-04:00

the only way to organize my very large necklace collection is to use hooks and a jewelry stand that i looooooooooove:

oh and for fun--and here's my new favorite eternity scarf:

sammy b / casual style

2011-09-13T21:13:00.001-04:00

yesterday, i attended the sammy b designs runway show where i got to see my favorite knowles sister, solange, checking out the fashion. sammy's designs were seriously amazing and i'm super proud to know her. if you follow me on twitter, you probably read enough about everything i saw there.

unfortunately, i didn't snap a pic of my outfit. or the designs from the show.

but! i figured i would be able to get pics from the show somewhere...so stayed tuned. i promise to get those up.

i do have pics from my sunday, casual style:

outfit details: sweatshirt - target, shorts - old navy (they were my dad's), ring and penguin necklace - f21, skull bracelet - created by fortune, gold bracelet - my sis bought for me so ask her

so glamorous.

FNO

2011-09-10T16:16:00.000-04:00

i had a hard time posting these pics the other night so i'm finally getting around to doing it now.

i've never attended NY FNO but this year i decided that i NEEEEEEEEEDED to go. although i was feeling nervous about it because i hate crowds and worry about how unfashionable i look, i decided to head out and brave it. i'm glad i did!

you can see my pics from the night on my tumblr or twitter.

here's my outfit though:

outfit details: skirt & indian head necklace - f21, shirt - old navy (i cut this to make it a cropped top), shoes - rainbow (they're way too big for me though so if you want to buy them off of me for $20, email me!), clock necklace - street vendor

isn't this bracelet AMAZING!!! my seriously talented friend/old roomie, created by fortune, gave it to me. you can get one for yourself here.

the basics of my night:

* checked out the laureluxe piece at the pratt manhattan alum show. it was AMAZING!

* tried to get into the alexander mcqueen store but the line was ridiculous. so i kept it moving.

* walked around the meatpacking district and did some serious people watching. i love people watching.

* didn't buy a damn thing.

not sure i would ever seriously do FNO again...maybe i would do it to people watch...? idk...the jury is still out on that...

happy NYFW!!

2011-09-07T20:43:00.001-04:00

tomorrow marks the beginning of ny fashion week and i'm nervous. i will be attending a few fashion night out event's tomorrow, then the modcloth swapaholics event on friday, and my girl's fashion show on monday. what's a girl to wear?!? ekkkkkkkkkkkk!

but, for now, i thought i would snap a pic of my new favorite necklace combo.

details: indian head necklace - f21, watch necklace - from a street vendor, shirt - h&m

oh--and have i forgotten to mention that i'm doing a modified raw food diet? that's right, you read that correctly. 3 days a week i am trying to stick to eating raw foods (breakfast can be whatever i want though). let's see how this goes...

fall...?

2011-09-05T15:14:00.000-04:00

where did the summer go?!?

it got away too quickly and now i'm already dreaming about pumpkin latte's and apple cider, sweater and boot weather, halloween costumes and parties, and when the leaves start to change color and the air is a little crisp. yes, fall is one of my favorite seasons.

but before i totally throw summer completely away, i am going to enjoy every single night that i can to enjoy drinks outdoors with friends. that, i promise. and this weekend was no exception! labor day weekend brought lots of catching up, lots of outdoor at night activities, and a lot of relaxation. wooosahhhhhhhh. it felt good.

i didn't get a ton of pics of the weekend (go figure) but my best friend did snap this one of us out on friday night:

i don't think there are words to describe how wonderful it was to catch up with her, as well as get to know her new boo. <3

would it be wrong to vow to take more pics? i feel like i make that promise to myself all of the time and then i fail miserably. but...i am! i promise!

new nails

2011-08-22T10:08:00.001-04:00

2011-08-20T12:34:00.000-04:00

it's a sad day, folks.

one of my bff's that i've known for 10 years (since college) is moving away to wisconsin. WISCONSIN. i'm not gonna get all sappy and sad on my blog but you should know how bummed (and sad) i am about this, even though i know it will be an awesome opportunity for her.

so, in honor of my friend, here's an awesome pic of us at our first ever holiday ball back at pratt:

she's the chica in the pink while we're all in our black attire. gotta love the pink.

oh...and i will be going to wisconsin for some cheese + fresh brewed beer. you best believe it.

happy birthday to my oldest friend in the entire world...

2011-08-18T00:00:00.001-04:00

the person who i'm not actually related to that i've known the longest is my bff/cousin (he's a fake cousin), chris. yes, i just shouted out his name on my blog. he better get over it.

to show how utterly dorky we were back in the day, here's an awesome pic from what i believe is our kindergarten graduation:

we're the dorks in the matching hats.

happy birthday, chris! i miss you lots and lots.

now i'm gonna go eat some bacon for your bday. bacon that looks like this:

...this shirt + the pants = perfection. i need more outfits like this in my life.

peek-a-boo

2011-08-09T19:58:00.001-04:00

on a staycation.

today included lunch with my mentee so i threw on one of my favorite work skirts with a short top to see what that would look like. my belly button decided to play peek-a-boo in these pics but i kinda love the effect:

outfit: skirt & shoes - f21, top - old navy (i cut this from a sweatshirt i had), turquoise ring - banana republic, pinky ring - from when i was a baby

lately when i drive around in the car, old tlc songs have been playing on the radio. my fav? -

pants on the ground!

2011-08-04T21:41:00.000-04:00

i HAD to take pics of my outfit today since i rarely wear pants (if you count leggings as pants then i wear pants often...otherwise, no pants for me!).

outfit details: pants & shirt - h&m (from last year but i swear i saw these a month ago at h&m), sandals - f21, necklace - modcloth

best outfit ever

2011-08-03T20:30:00.000-04:00

my sister and i were really feeling my work outfit today. i might really need to pick up more skirts like this:

outfit details: skirt - f21, shirt - h&m, belt - my mom's, necklace - vintage, earrings - gift, ring - banana republic

swinging around in this skirt is SO MUCH FUN.

second of the monthhhhhhhhh

2011-08-02T20:26:00.000-04:00

received a ton of compliments about my dress today...and i was feeling good about my outfit except for the mixing of patterns. i wore it anyway to see if i liked it by the end of the day but i'm not sure i did.

outfit details: sweater - vans, dress - UO

i also wore my spanking new camera necklace (from f21) and some girl on the train complimented me and then her friend actually touched my longer necklace. i wanted to be like, "WHAT!!!!" but she was kinda young so i had to let that go.

the pattern up close...

TGIA! (thank goodness it's august!)

although, i have a feeling things are about to get verrrrrrrrrrry interesting in the life of DTM...

my fav amy song:

RIP

whoa

2011-07-25T22:29:00.000-04:00

i'm not gonna lie - i've been a pretty terrible blogger this month. not only are my friends commenting on my lack of posts, but even i am starting to wonder what the hell is wrong with me.

the only thing i can say about my absence is:

* work...is kicking my butt.

* i'm trying to put some plans in place for myself.

* it's impossible to fit everything i want to do in 24 hours.

* sleep is no longer my friend...

* ...which makes me not get anything done.

but, i celebrated my birthday this month! since i didn't capture my very cute birthday outfit, i figured i would at least showcase my awesome gifts:

this "black book" is my new...

...ipad! i am in loveeeeeeeeeee. my fam pitched in and got it for me. i'm a lucky girl.

amazing jewelry:

my mom got me the earrings and my sister got me the "d" necklace.

the cuatro (a 10-stringed spanish guitar) from my cousin...he'll be happy i posted this.

so yea, that's what's up.

iscream, ipad

2011-07-14T22:55:00.000-04:00

for my bday, my family pitched in and got me a gift certificate to apple so i could order an ipad for myself. holler. my dreams have come true.

so when i ordered my ipad tonight, i knew i needed to order an ipad case. so i started an online search and came across this awesome case from pad&quill:

an ipad case that looks like a moleskine?!? whattttt! i want.

while doing that, i also checked out this itouch case:

so, yea, i ordered both.

i caved...

2011-07-14T10:13:00.001-04:00

After days of no coffee consumption, I caved today. I'm exhausted, run down, straight zombie style right now.

Just know that I had an awesome birthday and am looking forward to watching harry potter and having drinks with my friends this weekend.

no eye makeup

2011-07-08T19:04:00.000-04:00

i have a confession to make: i love eye makeup.

it's almost to the point of obsession. maybe it's the artist in me that loves playing around with eye makeup? which is why you will probably never catch me leaving the house without mascara, eyeliner and some eye shadow on. either way, this obsession started years ago (after college) when i first started experimenting with makeup.

but, here is a pic of yours truly with no eye makeup on:

there is, of course, a story behind why i am not wearing any eye makeup in this pic (and why my eye looks so funny in this pic). late last night, something got into my eye and i desperately tried to get it out for over an hour. i started freaking out, the boo took me to the ER and 2 hours later i returned home with a numb eyeball. i woke up 2.5 hours later to get up for work and my eye still had the sensation of something being in it. so i started to worry even more.

i went to work, called my primary doctor, set up an appointment for 12:20 and ran over there. my doc didn't even look at my eye--she immediately sent me to the optometrist where they did the normal eye tests (20/20 vision, holler!) and then the doc examined me. i have a strange fear of anyone putting drops in my eyes or touching my eyes or flipping my eyelids so i was bugging out inside. luckily, doc was really sweet and promised to get me all better before my bday on monday. she did end up flipping my lid and found the teeny tiniest of smut under there and removed it. i was given some antibiotic eye drops and sent on my way.

i figured i would take a break from eye makeup for the next day or two until my eye feels better. i am hoping to be all better by my bday on monday (even though when i asked the boo about doing dinner on monday. he looked at me as though i have 15 heads...sigh). but here i am--no eye makeup, on my blog. hopefully i don't look too crazy/weird looking/blah.

on another note, check out my new skull necklace. yes, i made it myself.

2011-06-07T10:26:00.000-04:00

challenge 15. my zodiac and if i think it fits my personality:

"cancerians get things done through the powere of their emotional commitment. not only do they aggressively work to accomplish the goals inspired by their own feelings, they also know how to appeal to the emotions of others. by making other people feel like family members, cancerians effectively motivate others to get things done. they have to learn how to reach an emotional balance since they tend to be overly sensitive and moody."

- from my daily horoscope app on my droid

i 100% agree with this.

6.5.11 challenge day 13

2011-06-05T09:58:00.000-04:00

challenge 13. my opinion on my body and how comfortable i am with it:

honestly?

i would be a liar if i didn't admit how unhappy i am with my body sometimes. i miss the days i weighed 120/130 pounds and hope to someday get back down to that weight. lately, i have been super happy with myself because i lost 10 pounds since november the healthy way. i think that i can keep this up without starving myself or depriving myself of the stuff i like to eat/drink.

so the positives about my body?

i have boobs and a butt but my waist is small. i'm glad that when i gain weight, it never goes to my tummy. i love that people rarely understand how curvy i am unless they see me in a bathing suit. i'm happy i am not so skinny that i look like a lollipop. i'm really happy that i am healthy.

the second rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club.

but...i love this book a lot. and yes, i do love the movie too but the book is amazing. i read it at least once a year, i lend it out so often i think i actually own about 5 copies (4 out of 5 are not in my possession currently), and i recommend it so often i might as well get paid to advertise it. so yea...go read it...best book ever.

challenge 2. something i feel strongly about:

my hair!

i used to feel strongly about how much i hated it being curly, and now i feel strongly about how beautiful big curly hair is. i'm dedicated to being good to my hair, to making sure it stays healthy and beautiful, and never applying a straightening product to it...ever again.

5.24.11 challenge day 1

2011-05-24T10:39:00.030-04:00

challenge 1. five ways to win my heart:

* genuinely love my dog. because she's that crazy and weird that i think people hate her sometimes. love her and i will love you.

* party with me one day / have a serious conversation with me the next. i'm not just a party girl nor am i just the serious type. i like a balance of both.

* craft with me. i love to craft so if you can do it and talk to me about it, super brownie points for you.

* be smart. i like smart people. people who can have conversations about a lot of different topics, who are open minded, who are opinionated. i have much respect for people like that.

* share in my weird humor. i'm not the funniest person in the world, and my humor may not always make sense. but if i can make you laugh and you can make me laugh then i will definitely give you a gold star.

2011-05-23T10:35:00.002-04:00

it's a sad day. i had to throw out my favorite green boots because they were ripping...a lot...

RIP green boots. you will be missed.

on another note, i think i am going to try this:

one of my favorite bloggers is going to attempt it, so i figured why not? i haven't been the best blogger in the world so maybe this will get my going again. who knows?

happy birthday to my "hip to it" sister, P.
