prettier makes it yummier

I've been browsing through cupcakesandcashmere's blog for the past... oh I don't know, 5 hours throughout the day, and she's got me enamored with all these beautiful and edible- the trip to Trader Joe's where I stocked up on tortillas, green chile sauce, French Brie cheese, and macaroons didn't help. Suddenly, I had an epiphany that I've been baking cupcakes and brownies (in cupcake molds and calling them brownie bites) because I've never bought any cupcake/muffin liners. These are some of the cutest paper liners I've ever seen.

Friends out there who want to get me a cheaper gift, some cute cupcake liners would be nice :)

like these from Target.

perfection in slouchiness

oooo this sweater looks so perfectly slouchy and comfy for spring. It's from AA, and I love it, but too bad it's $48 :'( *tear*

i love this song

it's not just hair

T: hate how i can never decide how i want my haircut to be like.

J: no thats really understandable to be mad.

it's a small, almost mundane thing, but thats just it

not being able to have control over something so small and so simple is aggravating

it makes you feel like you dont have control over anything.

hair, clothes, it's all a form of self-interpretation, self presentation, self-definition, not being able to choose that for yourself... thats like not being able to be who you are- who you rightfully should be able to choose to be.
