I hated the city before you came here

Only I would buy a pair of sunglasses the day before a Nor'easter hits. These aren't them, mind you. I bought a pair of sunglasses for $5 at H&M that I haven't been able to wear at all yet. Yeah, I know, I went overboard. I splurged. Instead of eating today, I got glasses. My priorities are absolutely in order.

Lap tip top

For my birthday, my parents got me a laptop. I'm not a huge fan of laptops. They have never really been my best friend, but due to the fact that my desktop is slowly dying and I'm doing a lot of commuting, I thought this might be a wise investment. Then I was assigned the chore of picking out one that I wanted under a certain price cap. That was a not a fun task! Anyway, the photo above is a little snap I took while testing out my web cam. The official first shot snapped. Cross your fingers that this lap top wants to be my friend!!

Miss Lulu & The Teaspoon Shortage

This time of year I shouldn't be buying new things, but this was an exception to the rule. Not only are they adorable booties, but they were once owned by one of my favorite young photographers, Lucia Holm. I've been following her work on Flickr for a long time now. The other day I saw she was selling a lot of her vintage clothing on her Etsy page and stumbled upon these lovelies. Despite her wearing a size 7 shoe, she was selling these size 6 shoes for only $15! Things were selling really fast so I didn't really have a lot of time to dwell on it and I just quickly bought them and I'm so glad that I did! Without seeming stalkerish, I found it to be kind of cool to have something that was once hers, but moreover, they're so cute and comfortable! I love them! They're just the sort of shoe I needed for walking around in Philly. They're fashionable and flat. I just love them. And they came with a cute little thank you card and her business card. So pleased with my impulse buy! How often does that happen??
