thursday

so i just ate my body weight at chili's with three of my best friends. soooo good. loved the margaritas :) i'm so ready for bed though (old lady talking) tomorrow is the weekend though and i'm excited to drink more tequila! anywayyy read a pretty comical passage in my book "eat, pray, love" about how a seven year old in naples, italy gave her the finger. allow me to share:

"Like that punk little grammar school girl on the back of her cousin's motorbike who whipped me the finger and charming smile as she drove by, just to make me understand, 'hey, no hard feelings, lady. but i'm only seven and i can already tell you're a complete moron, but that's cool- i think you're halfway OK despite yourself and i kinda like your dumb ass face. we both know you would love to be me, but sorry- you can't. anyhow, here's my middle finger, enjoy your stay in naples, and cia!' "

--haha sorry thought this was really funny when i read it.

So i have TWO songs of the day. do not know why these two but they have both been stuck in my head all day that i sorta made my own song out of both lyrics. come on i know you all do that. but the lyrics are really good in these songs especially in 'lips of an angel'. reminds me of the scene in the notebook when ryan gosling is sleeping with his new girlfriend thinking about rachel mcadams. yea it seems romantic because the story is based around the two of them but seriously just think of how bad that other girl feels. part of the lyrics: "my girl's in the next room, sometimes i wish it was you, i guess we never really moved on" ughh i would die if i was that girl..haha anyway here are the songs:

Lips of an Angel - Hinder

Last Saturday-Broadway

one random thought i had in the shower thinking about my blog and how i would love other people to read it was that when i read other people's blogs (such as famous people) i just get jealous of their amazing lifestyles. but then i thought why envy someone else when i'm sure there is someone else in the world that envies you? idk kinda like a confidence booster. you will never know who that person is but there is someone out there that looks up to you/wants to be you. pretty cool feeling huh? but thats all for tonight. p.e.a.c.e.

snow

so it just keep snowing. NEVER ENDING. longing for summer big time. just really trying to be patient. ughh anyway i decided it will be fun to give a "song of the day" (or should i say "song of the night" since i always post after a long day of work in my comfy pj's) well the songs i post will reflect back on what was my song of the day. soooo the winner is:

Lovers and Liars- Matchbook Romance

oldie but goodie. love this band. used to listen to the song carpooling with my best friend on the way to high school. definitely a good way to spice up the day. 
anyway not to much fun to report the day i was practically sleeping at my desk. but tonight i decided to sign up to rachel zoe's email list to receive daily insight to fashion, beauty and lifestyle! pretty excited to see what kind of tips she will send my way. she is fabulous so i trust her judgement. okay i think i'm heading to bed. goodnight :)

music and fashion, oh my biggest passion (teehee)

work was just work today. met some cool people from a cool magazine, won't tell who because businesses stalk like crazy for any mention of their name...creepy right? anyway i wanted to share some songs with you since on my way to work i heard two of my favorites on my ipod. i love putting my ipod on shuffle, if you never know what kind of music you're in the mood for the shuffle button is clutch. here are two songs that mean A LOT to me:

Arise-Flyleaf

Careful-Paramore

ahh doesn't it feel so good to hear one of your favorite songs? it practically just moves through you, like you become the music and you step out of the world for 3 minutes. great feeling. Saw a funky hipster chick on the train. ipod in, eyes closed, just bobbing her head to whatever was pumping through her small speakers. i felt oddly connected to her because i was doing the same thing, we both looked at each other while we were shamelessly 'rocking out' and kind of smiled and just let it happen. we appreciated each other for letting the music take over on our short ride to work (or wherever she was going) 

funky, hipster music chick also had some great style. love nyc, you never know what you will see draped over people bodies. i find all my fashion inspirations just by being in the city. i find myself checking out everyone just seeing what they are wearing. someone may catch me staring which could be embarrassing but if they only knew i was complimenting them up and down and most likely making a shopping list in my head for the next time i go to the mall. thank you the people of new york with great style to make my shopping sprees easy and exciting!

i wonder if i've inspired someone to go shopping? and if i ever do i would love them to compliment me, i think i have decent style and anyone with decent style deserves an applause. 

9:30 pm, time for bed, goodnight all.

help

back to blogging. really going to try and stick with it this time. why wouldn't i want to just babble on about anything i'm feeling at the time?? 


subway ride home from work: help by the beatles pops on to my ipod play list, then once that happened i looked over at a woman reading the novel "the help" isn't it weird how that happens sometimes? come on you all know what i'm talking about. seems to have happened to me a lot lately. weird. 


so now enjoy this lovely tune:
