It's Escada

Over the weekend, I make it my mission to do interesting things even if they only take up an hour or two of my time, since I do have to do my homework after all. My dad wants to take me shooting, but the closest shooting range to me is an hour away, so we just haven't had the time. However, over the weekend, I love dressing up because I wake up somewhere in the double digits, which means I'm more likely to be more experimental with my look. Plus, I get to use purses during the weekend and I love purses. Here I'm wearing a Central Park sweat shirt, Mango jeans, Qupid oxfords, necklaces from South Korea and Mexico, and an Escada clutch. I've been into colored jeans since the fifth grade, but I only started wearing them three years ago because before that, I couldn't find any in my size!

I usually carry around cross body purses, but lately, I've been liking the idea of clutches. It's a tad less juvenile and looks dressier with my outfits. This Escada clutch is so simple, but the hardware makes it look so luxurious.One time I was carrying this  purse at a meeting with a bunch of other teenagers and they all asked me if it was designer, since it looks expensive and I told them it's Escada. None of them had heard of Escada, so I felt uncomfortable. I feel like I'm an outcast whenever I talk about fashion because no one can relate with me about how great fashion is other than Jessy and Michael.

I took the clutch to True Food Kitchen and all these women with very expensive purses complimented me on my purse. It made me feel like the clutch was a great buy. I ordered the Cucumber Refresher, which is lemon juice with cucumber and honey, along with the Seafood Caldo, which was a shrimp and sea bass stew with collards, white beans, cilantro, lime, and chili broth. My parents shared the Caramelized Onion Tart with me, which is a must try. The balance of gorgonzola, black figs, and garlic is so amazing.

Oh, and if you haven't figured it out, I'm really in love with my porcupine puffer Jacques. Feeding him is a pain, since I have to cook shrimp and clams for him, but it's worth it. He loves lettuce the most so far and I'm trying to teach him some tricks. My friend, Sagiv, told me I need to calm down because he's "just a fish." Well, let me tell you this, he is a very interactive pet. Almost as interactive as my dog.

Do you own any pets?
