Back To Basics







Back in Egypt.
Currently sitting in my profoundly comfy PJs waitin up for my parents to come back from yet another fancy dinner (wait a second, arent they supposed to be in my position?)
So much cultural inspiration here. Even though this is where I'm from it always seems to find a way to surprise me.
No crazy high heels and fashion statements here. Playing it safe is HARD ya'll (i cant believe i just typed ya'll.. you can tell I have southern friends at school)

I got some gorgeous jewelry while here. A silver ring with my name carved out. It is my new index finger ring. Another really pretty pearl charm bracelet with ethnic good luck charms and a RANDOM dollar sign charm. One of the charms says: Follow Your Dreams and it is, coincidentally, the heaviest one.

Off to a cruise tomorrow or the day after. Pictures of adventures to come.

For now I'm quite content with relaxing and enjoying my time away from Columbia.

tragedy

i like to touch walls when i walk.
the feeling of each touch slipping away just does something to me.
a few days ago i was walking back to my room, paying no attention to my hands touching the walls, when all of a sudden something bumps into my yellow ring and detaches the yellow part from the plastic base.
tragic.
tragic.
tragic.
my mother has superglue. hopefully that will bring life back to my beloved gem.

Knees


What would you do if you saw someone crawling like a child on the street (completely willingly)?

its my favorite thought these days.

Le Life

Whimsical entertainment is most valuable in dire times:

Le Love

Le Fashion



Simplicity is my principle today.
Enjoy the day and stay well.

Snugglin in my new Snuggie


I've been a secret fan of the snuggie since I first saw the ridiculous (and yet amazingly entertaining) commercials. The solid coloured ones are cute but I have to say I've been eying the leopard print ones for a while. At Century 21 today, one of my many destinations on my before-i-overdose-on-library shopping trip, I found it!

I'm not ashamed. Even though a snuggie is nothing more than an inside-out fleece robe with no strings but HEY, an obsession is an obsession.
