I was enchanted by this photograph and had to share it: Times Square on Saturday night, August 27th after the mayor ordered the first mandatory evacuation in the city's history. I've always loved the brutal flashiness of Times Square that offers no apologies because I remember learning how the Great Depression saw the lights turned off and the theatres closed; it reflects the times just like fashion narrates history. The natural disasters that face the northern hemisphere are extremely frightening and my thoughts are with those who have experienced and continue to experience this kind of tragic turmoil in the West as well as the East.
Today I went for tea, waffles and flapjacks with a friend. "Having tea" sounds so fancy, really it was just lots of syruppy carbs and Tarintino talk at 2 in the afternoon. I think Inglorious Basterds was amazing, really enjoyed it. I also got a laser pointer, did you ever see that Seinfeld with the laser pointer? Ahaha, I love them. All the 90s things got so hard to find, thank goodness for clothing-novelty hybrid Oriental shops owned by Italian guys. My friend works there and I also picked up these Engrish badges. So funny.
"I'M NO"? I love that it's in caps, I read it like it's shouting.
I went to Woolworths which is just bad news because of Benefit. I am addicted, stay away, the packaging and attention to detail is so cute you don't even notice the price going into 3 digits. They even label the brushes so you never mix your make up! I bought You Rebel tinted moisturiser and Confessions of a Concealaholic. It's pretty funny, you open the box and there's a pamphlet that reads "Dear Diary, I can't eat! I can't sleep! All I can think about is concealing." It's up my alley. I also got the new DKNY perfume because those magazine fragrance strips had me hooked. Damn you marketers, foiled again.
A while back I got these two gems at Wardrobe but I forgot to post them, I also got a new sewing foot for my machine, damn they are expensive! What do grandmothers make these days? I love it that my mom and I share the same shoe size and taste, she's traveling now so I'm excited to see what she brings back. I told her to go to Topshop, I went to the one in New York the day before New Years but it was chaos.
