something random

Hello pretty, I got a new pair of lace up boots from piperlime. It was final sale so I paid something less than 40 bucks for it. That's what I call a bargain. The coat is an oversized vintage so I cinch it with a belt. I don't usually wear bracelets or bangels because I have slim wrists - the normal-sized bangels just don't stay; however, I am using necklace here and it amazingly works. Truth be told, they are quite heavy
- I feel I am using handcuffs.

My amazing eye

Yesterday when flipping through magazine, I realized I chose the wrong profession - I should have been a scout!

Let me tell you why I had this conclusion. I have long term success in predicting which hollywood personality will be promising, including Jessica Simpson, Antonio Banderas, Ali Later...to name a few. Last night when I saw Minka Kelly featured in Glamour magazine, I totally feel "that's it. Where can I apply for the job as a scout?" I saw her in the 500 days of summer (the very very last scene as the new girl Autumn like 2 mins) and was totally impressed by her beauty. She was never on the radar or anything, no magazine publicity whatsoever ...until I felt she had potentials.

Is it too late to switch jobs?

Oops..it's Monday already?!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a very short one; with working on Sat and waking up late on Sun, I felt it's not enough!  

I recently developed a unhealthy habit; I have to have midnight snack before going to bed. No matter how much food I have for dinner, at 11:30 pm sharp, I hear a long "mmmmm..." from the bottom of the stomach to remind me it's time.If I ignore it, the outcome is to stay on bed with a noisy stomach and eventually I feel so hungry that I want to vomit, very annoying!

P.S. A little bit disappointed, I thought people won't come to office this morning because they were too hammered.  Everyone made it! What's going on?

Working on Sat

Working on Sat is never fun, especially if I have to wake up at 6 am. Every time when I have to leave home for work with dark outside, I always recall the flight attendant years. The long haul international flights such as European or American routes always departed at night so it meant I had to leave the house when my family came home for dinner. As a homey person as I was, I always did the struggle " I am not going; you better kill me if you want me to go." My boyfriend or my dad would be "okay, then don't go." and I would be "okay, then you call my supervisor, tell her I am not coming."

After these years, I haven't grown up a lot. This morning when I opened up my eyes and found it was dark outside, my first thought was "let's call my colleagues and say I am sick/fell from stairs." Oh relax, I didn't do it. I am here sitting on my office chair as a normal responsible person.

A little bit lonely but it's okay

Yesterday I had a dream that I was shopping in Bottega Veneta. I told the salesperson "give me one of each your style!" ...Considering the fact that I no longer am obsessed with BV, I think it was mainly about my shopping gene. My friend once told me her husband said " number 1 with extra large fries and two apple pies" in the dream - he is a big/fat man. It is more like what you are thinking in your daily life (or what's important in your daily life) reflects in the dream, I suppose.

Anyway, I was a little bit low recently because it is Chinese New Year. Last time I spent CNY with my family was 7 years ago. Though I talk to my parents and sister everyday, it doesn't help the fact that I am 11000 miles away from them. On usual days I can claim that I have total freedom but during holidays I just feel lonely.

Don't worry about me. Overall I am a very optimistic person full of energy.  I will be feeling low, sitting on sofa  for 10 mins, during which I may shed some tears, and then I will be "mm..sigh..whatever! What do we have for lunch?"

This is what I wore last night. You must be thinking ...gee she is still in the parka....

Happy Rabbit Year!

First of all, HAPPY RABBIT YEAR! WISH YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

As long as you live in the New England, you know in winter, sun is just a decoration. I couldn't even count how many times I went out of home with a "since there is sun, it must be warm" outfit and ran back to put on extra clothes. After two days of gray/white snowy days, the sky is blue with a decorated sun. However, as experienced as I am, I put on two layers of pantyhose and all the other necessities (underneath the leather jacket, there are a wool undergarment, the dress and a cardigan)

Military trend Part II

There will be a snow storm attacking my town. According to Americans, "do you have enough bread and milk?" Personally don't drink milk and eat little bread so don't see why it's important; my bf is, on the other hand, a devoted bread eater so he may be more anxious. The good thing is that I got some bread recipes; Let's try, shall we?

As I said, I am currently addicted to military trend so bear with me for a bit.

I started by wearing just a white shirt underneath....After checking the temperature,

& black jcrew cardigan

P.S. My friend was correct. I paid little attention on the quality of the pics. This pair of jeggings is supposed to be deep blue but it looks totally dark. Maybe it's time to really go out standing in the coldness to add light or buy a better camera.
