my attempt to be friends with the upper east siders.

my obsession with gossip girl thrives for many reasons. but one of the main reasons i cant stop watching season one is because of the fashion. and i am now obsessed with colored tights.

so obsessed in fact, that i bought 5 pair of colored tights while in nyc. when purchasing these items, lisa was supportive, but DID say..."you would buy bright orange and teal tights. but i dont doubt you wont find a way to wear them." so i did. here have been a couple attempts so far this week.


and yes, that is me carving a pumpking. that needs to be another post all in its own. anyway, i am sure this will be one of those fashion trends that i will just cringe at in years to come, but for right now....I LOVE IT.

bitter.

ok - when i first heard beyonce's new song...i was totally weirded out. what the was she even talking about?? but then today on my commute home i heard it again. twice. and ended up loving it. and then i came home to find myself watching the video. twice. so maybe a little bit of my bitter side emerged today, and that is why it clicked. or maybe its just a really catchy tune. regardless, give it a chance....if i were a boy.

nyc.

fabulous.

it is obviously my new fav movie of ALL time. and maybe i flew to utah to see it with people who really appreciate it. needless to say i LOVED every second of it!! will probably see it in the theater again this week.

newest crush.

and i love him. maybe i like him so much bc he looks a little bit like zaz efron...but his name is chace crawford (which i am sure you all know his name anyway). just in case you didnt, now you do and you can google image him and stare at pics all day...not that i have been doing that or anything. i am also now obsessed with gossip girl (i bought season 1 over the weekend). AMAZING!! its like the oc, but better.

i support prop 8.

i am going back....

next weekend. my roommate lisa and i have been obsessing over it for a couple weeks now and on friday...we bought our tickets. i havent been back since i left last october. to be honest...nyc was not on my "must go-to-vaca-spots" after i left, and i thought i would NEVER venture back to the city. i definitely left with an awful taste in my mouth. but now i am in a brand new chapter in my life, able to put the last few years up on a shelf and leave it there. i am now ready to go back to the place where i once thought i couldnt get away from fast enough. i think it will be cleansing experience now that i am ready to face the city again. i no longer feel defeated by it, but rather feel like it will cleanse me. my life has changed tremendously in the past year - all for the better. i am so grateful for the people in my life now, for all the friends and family that have helped me on my journey back to ME. nyc - here i come....and couldnt be more excited. :)
