Dear Salinger

RIP

JD Salinger.

Thanks for making my junior year English class, not suck all the joy I had for books and classic literature.

I had to write a paper on my why Holden was just being a major prick and not a crazy psychopath. (I still have my notes from that class).

Although it's been a week, since this talented writer has passed, I still want to encourage everyone to read his other works, anything except Catcher in the Rye.

It's been crazy this week!

I try to answer any questions or comments.

I truly enjoy reading them.

And no, I have yet to buy a new purse. :(

Nothing special or cute to comment on except, that I'm dreading this month and I think we all know why.

First Real Bag

My mother wants me to stop buying cheap stuff, which I actually have been doing.

Quality items last longer and I highly doubt I will be spending thousands of dollars a month anytime soon, so buying quality will help.

So I decided that my first big purchase as an "adult", should be on a semi-expensive bag.

I never like to spend money on purses. Typically cause they end up dirty or me pouring out the contents on the ground looking for my ID.

But I kind of need one, since I typically carry a canvas one or a plastic vinyl purse.

I haven't the slightest clue about how much I should spend.

Let's say 200 maximum, I have no idea where I should start. Then I realize," holy shit I should make a polyvore collage!"

So I know I some of these aren't great but these are what caught me eye. I did see that bottom bag at UO that a quite an array of colors.

But I'm currenyly coveting the "diego bag" by Alexander Wang.

It's slouchy and perfect beige color.

I'd buy it in a minute except it's out of my budget.

It's either the bag or a camera.

I've stop drooling now, so wish me luck in my venture to find a new bag. Oh and should probably look into buying a camera also.

ps. Thanks for all the comments. You all are so sweet.

This Shit Takes Me Forever!

I'm so happy that I finally convince, a friend to take some photos with me.

But I forgot to charge my camera, so we only got a few pictures of my outfit. I had loads of fun,and it is easier to control when another person is snapping away.

Skirt- Target; Shirt- Von Maur; Boots- Ruff Hewn; Socks- Urban Outfitters; Scarf- Marshalls

I felt a little country, with the plaid and denim skirt. I did not realize the reference, until I saw my photos being uploaded.

Can't really tell but I'm wearing that lipstick I got from MAC, I showed in my last post. :)

How's everyone week's going?

It's been so slow and cold where I live.

Sunny Days, Where Have You Gone?

Ugh, this constant fog and rain, now snow still is making me feel sad.

I'm definitely one of those people that in order to feel better they go buy something.

I'm not a shopaholic!

I have freaking self control, trust me. I nearly bought a 100 dollar bag but I felt that it was rather huge and I am terribly picky when it comes to bags!

It's a preference thing, I never like buying them.

I rather save my money and buy pretty shoes!

But anyways, since I'm not feeling particularly great. I'm going to show off some recent purchases a little bit.

I think it's safe to say, that I'm loyal MAC customer.

There is only one my state; it's so apparent because its takes me 10 minutes to get some random makeup artists attention.

I started trying on shades of lipstick. I ended up buying Pink Nouveau. I swore I saw it on some bloggers and that's what convince me to buy it.

(Matte Green 7 is the color)

I also went off to explore my nearby Urban Outfitters. Apparently, they sell nail polish. Isn't this such a pretty shade? I smile each time I glance at my nails.

I try not to go their often; a) cause it's super pricy and I'm a broke college student, b) I tend to buy something I don't need.

But since they had small event going on for Haiti, I felt a need to go. I bought those glasses because they said all the proceeds go to HopeforHaiti. I'm a sucker for noble causes.

Best part of UO, is that all the employees are adorable and not to mention it's one of the few places that I don't feel awkward.

A few shopping regrets:

A pair sexy suede boots, I think I might go back just for them.

Also I tried on a few things, such as another jumpsuit. My best friend told me I should purchase but since it was long and strapless I had no idea where I would wear it.

I kind of regret it but they seem to have plenty. Jumpsuits aren't a very popular trend here.

I also went to Marshalls and bought an amazing, long coat. It was only 40 dollars marked down from 75.

No pictures but you'll see more soon. ;)

What do you do in order to beat the winter blues?

Any one buy something fabulous lately?

Damn classes

I'm can't believe I'm saying this but after a week, I want school to be done!

It's been hard. I feel like a wreck. I can't really explain my emotions that well, I try to keep things in and let them not affect my blog.

Don't worry about me, my doctor told me that I have Seasonal Affective Depression a few years ago.

.

I wore sweats today. It felt weird. Most of you understand, that I typically wear a dress or skirt to class. I'm not a big fan of pants and I find jeans stiff.

My daily outfit posts are rare on this site, due to my camera issues.

It's not abnormal to wear something comfortable; just to exercise in the morning. Then, I rush off to classes in whatever I have on.

I kept on thinking, I wonder if any one notices what I'm wearing?

Of course not, I live in Nebraska. The norm is seeing the ithinki'msuperfashionablebitches in juicy/ pink sweats (mine were black adidas) and Uggs.

I'm just writing down what has been in my mind all day.

I've seen plenty of girls on the blogging world have their off days, I certainly have those.

ps. I hope everyone tries to give a little something to help Haiti. I know I have. :)

Camera Woes

As of lately my camera seems to be suffering from shutter lag.

I just when I think it's taken a picture, than I realized it has not.

I typically have to press the button 3 times in order to get a response.

I've had this since 2007. I think now is a good time to upgrade.

I've got some great news!

I recieve this semester a small boost of money from my scholarship. I've got some leftover after buying books, so I've decided to put that money into a better camera.

I've been really into getting a DSLR but I think outside of blog pictures and the occasional social event, it would be silly of me to buy one.

So as usual, I'm unable to decide on the camera I want.

Since August, I've looked the Canon G11.

It's small, and many say it gives DSLR quality without the extra weight and lens.

But for the same price (on Amazon), I could buy the Canon Rebel XS.

I've never had any experience with a DSLR but this one seems easy to learn and probably go farther in the long run.

My dear readers, what camera would chose?

Or do think I'm being biased and should buy a different camera?

Thanks so much for any advice.
