Happy 09!

Although my hands are dry from cooking all day, it's safe to say I had a grand night. Not many pictures were taken, but I think Ben's glasses capture the essence of our fun-filled evening—don't you think?

Saturday Snapshots

Saturday night I spent the majority of my time at the mall doing returns and exchanges, hence the new shoes. Then my friends Jarvis and Anna came over to visit but soon left on account of Anna's curfew :( Then Ben came over and we shared some cheap wine and some laughs. Aren't the holidays just grand?

Thanks, Aldo.

Camera shy Benny.

My Christmas gift to Ben.

Terrible angle for me, but aren't his eyes pretty?

Bracelet complete with baby Jesus and Mother Mary.

Listening to: "Please Concrete" by Wye Oak

Late Nights

Call for great movies. Tonight's was _Sabrina_, starring one of my newly favorite male actors, Humphrey Bogart—and of course my (and my grandmother's) favorite actress, Audrey Hepburn. When I was young I was introduced to _My Fair Lady_ and have loved her ever since. This is one of her better flicks. I highly recommend it.

Listening to: Next Messiah by Jenny Lewis. (Her new album does wonders for the ears)

Ending Semester

Today was the last day of History 150 with Dr Kenneth Hall. Even though the class caused my comrades and I much angst at the start of the semester, we found our way and came out on top. 

Here's two of my favorite people in the room, Ashlynn & Logander

Check out Logan's band Dreams of University too, very cute guys :)

Thursday Threads

This week so far has been filled with schoolwork and stress. Thus, today's threads were inspired by my strive for comfort as I spend 8.5 hours in the library studying for finals. Enjoy, because I know I'm not :)

Boots- we'who'see footwear

Cardigan/dress- BDG

"OMFG!"

Lately I've been reading Laurel's wonderful blog, and it made me want to express how much I love Gossip Girl too. 

Firstly, Chuck Bass (aka Ed Westwick) is an amazing actor

Secondly, they play The National during the show (one of my favorite bands)

&

Thirdly, it's rivals my number one show spot along with the _O.C._

SO, here's something I thought all of you Gossip Girl fans would love to own! Hopefully my sister will get it for me for Christmas...

Poladroid credit to Gala Darling for showing me the way!
