some books I bought

If you didn't already know, Borders is bankrupt and all their stores are closing which is sad because I always thought Borders was better than Barnes and Noble. But alas. We got prettay good discounts from it so I can't complain! I finally bought Chelsea Handler's bio which I have been dying to read for quite some time now, that woman is nuts. You know what else is nuts? That book I bought about graphic design. I seriously cannot wait to read it. Thank you Borders.
Sorry if I look dead in the pictures by the way, I'm going to go do some homework now, bye!

I can't put lipstick on

{dress: H&M, scarf: H&M, cardigan: Forever21, tights: We Love Colors, necklace: World Market, boots: Urban Outfitters}

Hello my prettiesssss! 

This morning while I was putting my makeup on, I realized one thing. I can't put lipstick on. I'm usually pretty savvy when it comes to makeup, but lipstick, not my thing. You can't really see it on the pictures but I kind of looked like a transvestite. Or like my father if he tried to put lipstick on. But that wouldn't happen. Sooo, if any of you have any tips on how to apply lipstick, please share! I'd really appreciate it. 

Do you see the white tights? I've been dreaming about them for two.whole.months. I got them from We Love Colors and they are the best. I honestly don't think that I've ever owned such good quality tights in my life. You know how I can prove that? Hear me out. When I get home from school my dog, who happens to be the craziest/most hyper dog on the planet (I'm not saying crazy and hyper in the cute Marley & Me way but in the insane/I'm so hyper that I don't know what to do with myself so I bite your feet way) jumps on me for oh about 15 minutes and scratches the heck out of my legs and arms. Yes, my white tights went through that. Twice. Do they still look and feel as good as new? You betcha. Except for the little hairs Spot left on them. That dog sheds so much. I had dog hair in my coffee today. But that's another story. 

Anyways. If I could throw them to you across the screen so that you could feel them I would because holy shiz they are soft (the tights, not Spot's hair). They're nylon/lycra microfibers and that my friends makes all the difference. If you want to buy tights, get these, they're soooo much better than the nylon ones! Oh and they do that magic trick where they suck in your love handles so you don't have to not breath all day trying to hold you stomach in. Booyaka! I hope you suck in your stomach like me, or else I'd be embarrassing myself. 

I got them in Ivory and not in White because they had a softer tone to them which I love. Neutral fan over here!

All I can say is, girls, got get some tights at We Love Colors. They will make you happy. They're cheap and they have so many colors that you'll want to buy a pair for each outfit. Serious. 

Hope everyone's having a good week!

Oh by the way, I'm re-trying the whole Twittah business and so far I'm lovin' it. Kind of addicting but cool because I can talk to everyone! SO, if you wanna be friends with me add me and I'll add ya back! And we can gossip about stuff.

the day in pictures + animal fur: what do you think?

Elo! I know, these pictures are kind of all over the place, but what can I say? This is what my day looked like.

I finished my photography assignment which was so much fun to do and what else... 

Oh yeah, we're babysitting a little bunny called Noug (I think), he's so cute and soft, I've been petting him all day. I still can't believe that these adorable rabbits are killed in the most disgusting ways for their fur. And what completely shocks me is that people actually wear real fur and don't give a crap about what happens to these innocent animals. I've seen videos of it on peta.org and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, except for the animal-fur wearers. 

I think that anyone who wears real fur should be ashamed to promote such a horrible crime. 

What do you think? Are you pro/against animal fur?

stop motion photography: an assignment

I took these little numbers for my photography class and let me tell you, they were so much fun to snap. It does take some patience but in the end when you see the results it's hella worth it. I'll take some more shots tomorrow and I'll post them as well!

Hope y'all are having a great weekend!

ps: don't forget to answer my "would you rather" question on the left sidebar! 

a stroll downtown

Today I had to go to the Canadian embassy to take care of some stuff and since their offices are in downtown D.C I thought I'd take my camera and snap some pictures! I'm not a fan of D.C, at all, but I have to admit that the downtown area is a fun place to visit! I went to Chinatown and surprisingly, I didn't see any Chinese people, not that I looked for them everywhere, but I just didn't notice the "Asianness" of Chinatown. 

'Twas a nice walk, still!

Did I mention I saw Macy Gray in the metro? It was probably just a normal woman with a groovy afro, but I like to believe I saw a celebrity, so, don't be a killjoy and tell me that it couldn't have been her because she's recording an album in California or something. 

My question to you:  have you ever seen a celebrity? and can you believe I've never actually seen one in my life? 

Except Bob Dylan at a concert, but he's 100 years old now so that doesn't count.

ps: a huge thank you to Chrissy for giving me the Stylish/Versatile blog award!!
