Cyclops

Quiverrrrr. I almost fainted like obesity just struck me when my pupils first met this product of creative genius. Margiela who? I can't recall how I stumbled across New High Mart, but thank goodness for the accessibility perk of blogging.

I was perusing a little shop in one of the resorts here, and I kind of fell in love with this ring that was made entirely out of sandy-colored beads except I couldn't purchase it because my wallet wasn't on me at the time. It's funny because I have THE WORST MEMORY ever, but any material obsessions I have seem to allow me perfect memory. Anyway, doesn't it remind you of one of those rad sea creatures in Nemo?



Oh and RIP to my faux-tortoise shell bracelet that was the single recurring accessory I've managed to integrate into the majority of my outfits since the beginning of citruscoffee. My left wrist's cohort snapped into two pieces as I was trying to pull it off before attacking some Chinese food. I was thinking of writing an obituary and everything until I realized that my insanity would be validated if I chose to do so.

=[

I LOVE Nick Jonas.

YO.
Every time I listen to the Jonas Brothers, I always wait for Nick to blow after which I verbalize "that's right Nick; sing to me baby!" Hahahahahaha.

I swear, I've been so lazy as far as dressing ever since I've been back. Because it's FOREVER hot out, I'm not even trying to be in any type of pants or jeans unless it's nighttime, so my day to day outfits usually consist of a pair of shorts, a t-shirt, slippers, and my sunglasses. Exciting right?

I'm attempting to go running tonight, so I can rid my body of this evil muffin hanging above my waist. Ugh, you skinny bitches make life hard for me. This is my means of nutrition as of late:



Haha. So I was browsing through The Salvation Army here and stumbled across an in-your-face brown bow tie very reminiscent of the ones adorning the neck of Alber Elbaz after every Lanvin show. I recently figured out that brown is so hard to wear (for me, anyway) and is furthermore not my color, but it was a buck, and I convinced myself that I could always dye/bleach it.



You like my clavicles? Ha. Remember that striped-shirt in my last outfit post? Well it formerly belonged to my cousin until I was walking past his room one day, spotted it atop a pile on his bed, and then snatched it as an addition to my wardrobe. I thought if he had that great of a piece just lying around, he must own some other goodies. I waited until he left the house and had myself a little inhouse shopping haul. Two amazingly-draped tanks, a sleeveless jersey shirt, and a couple of old beat-up tees emerged from my klepto adventure. Is that bad? Whatever.

To conclude,
WHO'S EXCITED FOR THE FALL 2009 COLLECTIONS?

I'd die.

Recent Buys.

Hey everyone! For some reason, I'm feeling so disconnected to the blogosphere lately. Maybe a lot of you do because it's the holidays and we're spending more time with our loved ones? In any case, it's time for a legitimate post, hopefully. A little photo sesh with my sister.





And remember those Minnetonka moccasin booties I mentioned she scored at the Salvation Army?


Now for some wardrobe establishment; some of my most recent purchases.



The perfect leather biker jacket. [The Goodwill]


BDU boots. To my disgust, I found socks left in them by it's previous owner. C'mon soldier!
[Salvation Army]


Silver shiny windbreaker. [Steve & Barry's]


White tennis shoes. [Wal*Mart]


Silver bow tie. [Saxon's]


Patent dress shoes. [Salvation Army]

Whew! I also bought a lightweight cream scarf, but I wasn't satisfied with the resolution of the photo. Moving on. Today, I witnessed a wedding proposal which induced a sea of misty-eyed family members and friends. The event was actually a birthday party for my god-sister and she ended up getting proposed to. Ha! Talk about an insurmountable birthday present.

I'll be leaving to Guam in a couple of weeks, allegedly. My uncle was trying to get my sister and I to leave the day after Christmas which is insane to me. I really have no clue of the exact date we'll be leaving, but I guess this is what you expect traveling on someone else's expense. This is the third time I will be leaving my family, and although my sister will be coming with me this time, it's still disheartening to experience. The first time I was 18 and heading off to New York to start fashion school. I swear I was completely overcome throughout the entirety of my trip. I balled when I said my goodbyes, when I landed in Chicago for a painful eight hour layover, the first night I was in PA, and finally the first night I was in Manhattan. I guess I have a phobia of detaching myself from my family, my mom especially. But I'll probably get over it once I'm back home.

If I don't post in the upcoming days, I just want to wish every single one of you readers a Merry Christmas!

--Jey.

Silhouette.

My recent addiction: scarves. I kind of never cared for them until I bought one in Korea, and the lady who sold it to me showed me how to wear it. Ever since, I've been leaving every store I visit with yards of beautiful prints or captivating colors. And I'm sure this addiction will continue throughout winter. The houndstooth was my first purchase, and the last one is obviously for Christmas. Festive, no?



Today's get-up.
