the princess and the hat

Yay weekend! This week has been great not only for New York Knicks, who got straight three wins (I'm so proud!), but for me too. I'm really happy to hear that my dear friend is getting married. Yeah, I'm too happy I cried. It's not that I'm too melodramatic or what but she's like the big sister I never had, so yeah... I'm a little melodramatic. And I'm such a sucker for happily ever after too. I am that girl who has not outgrown fairy tales yet. This reminds me of the photos I saw from Dina Goldstein's Fallen Princesses website.

Anyways, tonight was not a good night to go out coz it's freezing outside. The temperature was around 25 but it felt like 10 to 12 because of the wind. Despite that, I went to church for our youth service during Fridays called "The Gate".

I really find it a great challenge to be chic and warm without looking like an eskimo lost in the city. And I should say I hate wearing turtle necks, it makes me feel like suffocated. But with the wind speed of 25 mph, thanks to whoever invented it.

I added a long silver necklace (from I forgot where) to at least spice up my outfit.

I love how the pattern of the sweater (from Great American Sweater) looks when I put my hands down.

I love this hat (from mom's closet). It keeps my head warm. But then, after a minute outside I can hardly feel my face. It made me think of wearing something like this.

But on the second thought, I'd rather be caught freezing than wearing something like that. Especially this:

or this:

Know what I'm thinking right now? I'm "mind" singing (and "mind" dancing) Alex and Harper's (Wizards of Waverly place) song:

What's that, a hat.
A crazy funky junky hat.
Overslept, hair unslightly.
Trying to look like Keira Knightly.
We've been there.
We've done that.
We see right through your funky hat.

But I admit, if ever I'll see someone wearing any of these will surely make me smile. In a good or bad way? That I can't tell. To some it could be a disaster but I'm sure some can pull it off in a cool way.

I think that's all I have for now. Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Don't forget to clothe yourself with love, peace, and kindness!

totally black friday

How was your black friday everyone? Was it a shopping heaven or mayhem? Well, we worked the entire year to spend on this one crazy day. We deserve it. But congratulate me, I didn't go shopping. Yeah, today was a total bum. I was too lazy to go out head to head with all those out of control shoppers. You know how it is here in New York. I can't stand struggling my way in to try that perfect shade of  YSL's ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 for an hour and wait another two hours in line just to have it, you know what I mean. It's like a race with a touch of wrestling. On the brighter side, it would have done good with what I gobbled up last dinner. 

Oh well, I tried to be productive today by tweaking my blog layout, how thrilling. I am really surprised with myself today. I don't have the urge to shop regardless of the great deals out there right now. There must be something wrong with me. Or maybe I'm just a little too scared getting my eyes poked with a Manolo Blahnik stiletto. Seriously this one's to die for. But anyways, I wish you guys had a great day! If you spent black friday not shopping let me know. It's good to know someone's with me.
