here and there

Playing: Every Day-Magic Man
Reading: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
As of right now, I still don't have much to blog about other than the fact that I'm considering becoming a professional concert attendee. (Besides becoming a music journalist, is there a way to actually do that?) I have also discovered the joy of online shopping, which led me to this purchase. I saw the black Fumo clutch from Alexander Wang at Barney's Co-Op and decided I needed one, but then I opted for the maroon Fumo instead from the Alexander Wang website.
Lately, I've  been getting tired of my collection of oxfords, so I decided to add two pairs of what my grandfather has termed "cow kicking shoes" in Chinese, which is I'm guessing his way of saying kickass. Both the boots and cutout flats are from Topshop and so far, they're both pretty comfortable. While they were quite a bit more expensive than I was willing to pay, I'm really glad that I got some shoes to give my Reed Krakoff and Alexander Wang shoes a break.
Other than the joys of online shopping, I've also gotten into the joys of online baking. I really like Chelsea's Messy Apron so far because all of the photos make the food look amazing and the recipes are all super easy. Rather than doing my calculus homework the other day, I tested out her recipe for a Cinnamon Roll Skillet Cake. It was really easy to follow and I finished it in less than 30 minutes. Plus, it makes a great snack/breakfast.
I also celebrated holi over the weekend with my friends, Jessy and Hannah. Holi, which is also known as the Festival of Colors, is basically a celebration of spring arriving and it's a holiday in which you can forgive and forget. However, I only celebrated the part in which you toss colored pigments around and listen to music. It was pretty fun at first until you realized how uncomfortable it was breathing in all the powder that was in the air. (Also, I ruined all my clothes and my body limbs were stained purple for two days afterwards.) I would recommend trying it at least once, but I wouldn't go back again. Please recommend me some recipe blogs for me to look around on, so that I can eat more and avoid homework. Thanks!

  1. Those cow kicking shoes are so nice!
    I wish I could get into baking. I just don't like cleaning up afterwards.

    1. I hate cleaning up too, so we have a rule that whomever doesn't cook (but eats) gets to clean up.

    1. Try their online shop or Nordtrom's website? Their shoes run pretty true to size.

    1. I bought a pair of Alexander Wang cutout shoes a few years ago, but I didn't want to beat them up, so I got another pair. I have seen many people wearing them about though.
