• She’s Got Her New Shoes On

  …and they’re freakin’ orange! I decided it was a courageous color to wear- and how appropriate- since orange and I have always had a tenuous long-standing love-hate relationship. I admire it for it’s citrus sassiness, but it never looks quite right with my complexion. Yesterday I was having a very Holly Golightly kinda day, so I decided to take the plunge and embrace my inner orangeness, in the form of some cute new shoes.

  

  And yes, darling, they look rawther fabulous with blue socks. i simply don’t care.

  So this was, what, yesterday? Good things have been happening left and right. I started the day by snapping that new profile picture up there, in front of a work-in-progress, and I have to say I look quite like myself. For the first time in a long time, too. This is very satisfying.

  Then i hopped on the train and poked around downtown, in order to seek out this one particularly renowned camera shop, and obtain the film i needed for my new Diana F+. Turns out they were completely out of the medium format rolls I needed, save a couple loose packages of black and white. So the guy just gave them to me! No wonder their reputation is so stellar; I’ll be sure to go back there for all my photo supplies. In the meantime, I’m going to go shoot some photos of the cemetery in the snow, so wish me luck. I’ll post the results when they come back from the lab.

  After that i decided some tea and literature were in order, so I wandered over to the bookshop and purchased a copy of Breakfast At Tiffany’s. Like I said, it was a Golightly kind of day, and Capote has recently piqued my curiosity. I’ve always adored the film version, and not just because i love Ms. Hepburn – it’s always been clear to me that there was some kind of genius behind the creation of some of my favorite quotes, so I’ve been dying to get to the source. A girl can’t just go to Sing-Sing with a green face, darling. So I soon settled down by the window with a cuppa and dived right in.  I never claimed to be super well-read, but I do know my way around a little bit of literature. So far, it’s one of my favorite books, ever. Ever ever. ever. Positively exquisite.

  And onwards! I did a wee bit of impulse shopping, and got a hold of yonder orange shoes, as well as some new rocketdogs which were ridonkulously ON SALE and totally rockstar yet super comfy, as well as a ruffled jacket which i think is tres chic. Behold:

  

  

  I like this photo of me, too. I recently acquired some (as my best gal pal puts it) badonkadonk- twenty pounds of it to be precise- and while this means I have outgrown each and every pair of scrawny size 2 jeans I’ve been rockin’ my whole life (good riddance!), I’m thinking I look pretty slammin’ in my curvaceous 5/6′s.  Rawr!

  So, all in all, life is pretty sweet right now. New shoes, new books, new butt, no more evil ex-bf, and even the rabbit has been unusually nice to me. i have a feeling i can keep this up for a long time ; )
