ice cream truck

Pardon the demented smile on my face. I truly ADORE ice cream. I've chased down just about every ice cream truck within earshot for the past month or so--in NYC, that's QUITE a few. I'm sure come bathing suit time (I don't actually own one and haven't for about 10 years), it will be painfully apparent. But in the meantime, here's to vanilla and CHOCOLATE SPRINKLES!!!

And these, most comfortable of comfy heels, and my favorites for summer. I love how the back of the dress mirrors the back of the heels. It's the small things that mean so much. I will need to move on from the beige/brown palette. Soon.

boyfriend whine

I've always loved the boyfriend look. Long before it became popular/trendy, I used to wear men's jeans because they were super comfortable, I was a tomboy, and I hated my awkward body. Who wanted T and A, anyway? *crickets* Either way, I've since been trying to find a nice pair of pants, sort of like a Dior Homme style. Unfortunately, after going through endless pairs of jeans hoping to find a slim fitting men's style, I've come to the conclusion that my ass is too big to pull this off. Anything that fits in the waist/is long enough/is snug at the ankle, is too tight across the bum and just looks like women's slouchy skinny jeans. F*$#. I don't even want to post pictures of this damn trend b/c it infuriates me. I refuse to shell out $300 on trendy jeans, but I didn't want the plain old baggy kind. Wah...
However, I will post this:


This is the ideal. Aaliyah, my muse. Random Asian girl with something closer to what I want. And Ciara, a more recent follower of the trend. I just don't want them that baggy...oh well. Back to the drawing board. I'm not huge and yet I can't find pants that slouch just so. This is exactly why I hate trends; makes it harder for people who just want to dress in the clothes they love to find said clothes at a decent price...whine whine whine. Must be the rain. It's FREAKING FRIGID outside...wtf??? Fake ass spring. Ugh.
