Things I need for my college apartment.

As a broke college student, ikea will be my new bff over the summer when I prepare to move into my new apartment for my senior year (woot woot!) I live in an apartment right now so I already have a lot of stuff, but one of my roommates supplied most of the dinnerware and she will not be living with me next year (sadface) so stuff must be replaced :(

1. 18 piece DINERA dinnerware set $20
2. IDEALISK mesh tea infuser $2 (for those late nights before exams and the mornings of when I feel like shit.)
3. Chopping boards! $2
4. SVALKA 6 pack white wine glasses $5 (i'll finally be old enough to drown my sorrows in a bottle of reisling)

Other thoughts: toasters, tupperware, cast iron skillets, cute ice cube trays, glass tumblers

Smokey Cat Eye (Refinery 29)

2011-02-22T10:38:00.000-05:00

I love this winged smokey eye from Derek Lam's Fall 2011 show! dying to try! especially since one of the models wearing it was asian. I definitely feel that cool eye makeup options from the runway are limited if you're asian. :(

Girly Cute Laptop Sleeves!

2011-01-01T21:57:00.000-05:00

I recently got a new laptop (thanks big bro!) for Christmas and I'm very excited because it's thinner, lighter, and has more battery life than my old laptop. I also realize that my old laptop (only 2.5 years old actually!) went through a lot of pain & suffering probably since it had to travel with me sometimes without a laptop sleeve. I'm determined to right this wrong with my new laptop, so ofcourse I need a cute laptop case that isn't too expensive.

1. 13" Black and White Fleur Carrying Case Sleeve $15.50 from amazon (yay free amazon prime for students!)

Clothes my boyfriend should wear.

2010-12-30T20:09:00.001-05:00

My boyfriend dresses VERY casually. He wears striped polos or random graphic tees with a pair of jeans. Like many guys, he puts no real thought into what he wears. While I've always thought of my perfect man being effortlessly stylish, I've come to terms with just effortless. [We are college students afterall.] That doesn't prevent me from buying him things that steer him in the right direction (:

1. THE IDEAL: J.Crew January 2011 Catalog.
2. Burberry Slim Cut Mega Check Tie $150(Like the one Barney Stinson wears during his perfect week!)
3. Clarks Desert Boot $95
4.Sperry Top-sider Original Boat Shoes $98
5. Burberry Cashmere Check Scarf $315
6. Gap Gingham Shirt &49.50
7. Uniqlo Cotton Vneck Cardigan

My favorite quick snacks.

2010-12-30T16:32:00.000-05:00

I'm starving. I'm really really hungry. Ironically I have less to eat now that I'm home and not at college because everything in my house requires cooking whereas I stock up my apartment with food I know I can actually make. MUST GO GROCERY SHOPPING.

1. apple slices + peanut butter
2. vanilla almond granola + craisins + sliced bananas + apple slices + milk
3. celery/ baby carrots + hummus
4. vanilla yogurt + strawberries + blueberries (love you frozen fruit<3)
5. toasted bagel + nutella

sadly, none of these snacks can be made from what's available in my kitchen right now. so sad so sad :(

Cute Girly Aprons

2010-12-29T15:51:00.001-05:00

Sometime's I wish I could just be a housewife and stay at home wearing a cute apron while I cook and clean and online shop. Ofcourse this would mean no financial independence or respect from the working moms. Nonetheless, I love cute girly aprons.

1. Baker's Delight Apron (Jessie Steele)
2. Retro Cherries Apron (Jessie Steele)
3. Frosted Cupcake Apron (flirty aprons)
4. 3-D Toile Full Apron (Anthropologie)
5. not an apron, but so cute! Cupcake Timer
