Halloween

I think the last time I actually dressed up for Halloween was in High school, so sad lol. Patrick & I dressed up as Bonnie & Clyde :) We had so much fun dressing up like them. I'm glad that I planned a little get together with my friends, because I realized we never got dressed up on Halloween. We had so much fun that we are going to do it again next year. Here are some pictures:

We did our best to emulate the original photos of Bonnie & Clyde. :)

On the side note: Today was a beautiful fall day and I took my dog for a walk. I love how it's chilly & sunny at the same time. The leaves were yellow, orange and red. I love autumn colors especially in the sunlight and how it falls to the ground. Unlike the other days it's been icky and warm. I am excited about fall & it better stay this way, because for the past couple of days I I've been sweating underneath my winter coat. yuck!

Thanksgiving & Christmas is arriving around the corner! Yippy! You know what that means... christmas lights, decorations & lots of food haha! I am so thrilled to see Christmas decorations and snowflake lights on the light posts while walking in the city and downtown. It makes me feel cheery inside :)

I've been organizing my rooms (which is kind of like an apartment, but it's not) haha. Once everything is in place I'm going to hang up christmas lights & I am even thinking of purchasing a small christmas tree. I'm very excited, can you tell??? hehe*

I changed the layout of my blog and I absolutely love it now. I'm going to add more pictures and give it more oomph, but for now I love it hehe :)

M.I.A.

I haven't written in here for practically 2 months.  I miss writing in here, but I've been so busy with work & whatnot that I'm too tired to update this thing.  Finally, I found time to write in my blog :)  

In late August/early September, my friend Tiff and I hungout after I got out of work.  First we stopped by Pinkberry & it was our first time eating yogurt there.  Luckily, I got free yogurt (featured on the right w/ oreo cookie crumbs) because the customer before me wanted white chocolate chips and it had dark chocolate chips.  Therefore, I got a free one because they didn't want it to go to waste which equals good & bad.  It was good because it was free & yummy, I mean who doesn't like free food.  It was bad because I had a sore throat that day and I knew I shouldn't have eaten it because I knew it would make it worse and I ended up being sick the whole weekend after that.  Oh well, it was worth it, because it was delicious! HAH!

Afterwards, we took the subway uptown and it was the last day to view the bronze statues of the Hello Kitty Characters created by Tom Sach.  I was like a little girl when we got there, I took so many pictures of Hello Kitty!  I love Hello Kitty and I am not ashamed to say that at all! AHAHA She's my homegirl ;P  Here are some of the pictures that we took while we were there:

To view more of the pictures that we took, here is a link to my flickr page:  hellokimmy

I am going to update this more, I miss writing in here.  I need to find more downtime for myself to relax and write in here more often. ahhh! the crazy world we live in today! haha

Until next time...

Get hip, get green

As much as I love the weather that we've been having since the beginning of August, it scares me, because August is supposed to be the hottest month of the summer and this sort of weather only occurs during Spring.  Global warming frightens me and I do everything I can to help protect our planet.  Here is a list of things that I do to save the environment:

• Reduce, reuse, RECYCLE everything
  
• Vintage Shopping (LOVE IT! ;P)
• Unplug appliances & lights when not in use before I leave my house
• Bring my "Get hip, Get Green" bag & other organic bags with me whenever I go shopping
• I never leave the water running while brushing my teeth & I leave it off while washing my face with soap & then turn it back on when I have to rinse my face
• I commute everyday by using the train, so I rarely drive which means I don't pollute the air with gas (plus, I don't have to worry about the ridiculous gas prices haha!)  
• When my boyfriend isn't driving his car, we drive his parents' car at times which is a Hybrid :)

I've been meaning to purchase energy light bulbs and my own recycling can for my room rather than going to the recycling can outside all the time ugh. haha

I am so excited for the fall weather to occur because I am sick of mosquitoes and I love the cold brisk of air.  However, I have been doing my best not to shop, but I really do need clothes for the fall weather that will be arriving, it's so hard to resist shopping, I'm addicted and of course the vintage junkie that I am,  purchased only 2 items at a good price.  I'm saving the environment aren't I?  HAHA!

I purchased a vintage lambswool cardigan with black lace.  I absolutely adore this sweater it has adorable rhinestone buttons, beautiful collar details and lace in the front and back!  The picture does no justice, but I promise you it is beautiful and it's not too clingy or too baggy.  Plus, I can push the sleeves up to make it look like it's a 3/4 sleeve cardigan.  loving it! :)

I am excited to wear these vintage eyeglasses (Made in France) with the cardigans I've purchased in the past and other cute outfits for fall. :)  I wear them with my contacts because I think I would look like a nerd if I made them into prescription eyeglasses.  However, I am a book worm and I think these eyeglasses are so cute :)

I'll end this entry with some nice eye candy:  Orlando Bloom.  He is HOT! HOT! HOT! Thanks for the pictures Leah! ahahaha
