cups. cups. cups.

i like collecting. like a lot of other people.
some people collect books, jewelry, makeup, clothes, etc...

one of the things i like to collect is cups. any kind go cups but always in 2s~
i think i get it from my mom. my mom collects kitchenwares/gadgets.
her most extensive collection is of rice cookers. being asian (korean) having good rice is key!
you think all rice cookers are as good as the next but really..they're not ;) but off point. back to cups.

my go-to-place for my collection are thrift stores and anthropologie.
i adore anthropolgie for many many reasons but one reason is because i love their sale section and the good stuff you can get from there. i refuse to pay full price (totally different topic) for anything so i just go straight for their sale section. i prefer the 16th and 5th ave store over any of the other stores in nyc, i always find something there.
currently i have 4 or 5 tumblers/goblets/wine glasses/tea cups from there. unfortunately i dont have pictures of it right now (will update later) :(
currently im coveting these:

way too long

it has been way too long since ive posted anything. my bad.
work has been hectic the last couple weeks/month. and plus being out for surgery has kept me from regularly posting.

but it's not to say that i haven't stumbled on stuff that i wanted to collect/post...

current obsession is MARA HOFFMAN!
she's been posted in many many blogs these days...and i have to saw I AM IN LOVE with her designs.
especially these from her SP10 line:

rainboots

so the snow is starting to melt away in nyc today which means massive puddles everywhere.

my choice of shoes when it rains or snows is a good pair of rainboots. im not a fan of the snowboot look...*shake head*
i actually picked up a cheap pair from a random store at the manhattan mall about 2 years ago and they've been good to me but i feel like now i want a real NICE pair.

i first feel in love with hunter boots after my old roommate got a pair. she's floral designer and scored herself a pair for work purposes.
i love the tall, slim look that they have. no bells and whistles. simple. classic.

but let's face the facts. $115 for a pair of shoes that you only wear on&off depending on the weather....it's sortof hard for me to swallow.
but thank god i have a friend who works in retail and has access to these! if she didnt i dont think i would even contemplate purchasing them.

so now it comes down to color.
i am a lover of all things RED. i love the color of how vibrant it is. this might sound weird but i feel like it's a color that has life behind it!

so while doing my daily blog surfing i came upon a picture emily over at cupcakeandcashmere looking oh-so-lovely in her red pair:

dont they look fabulous?!?!!!

as much as i covet this...i think it's more practical for me to own the black or navy pair.
esp since i usually wear my red burberry trench when it rains.

i'll update on what i end up getting :)

i love snow

today is a perfect day to read a book in my warm bed by my window and just look at the snow collect on my fire escape.

but
i had to come to work...i hate having to come to work when it's snowing.

i haven't stepped out of my office building since i came in this morning.
so im going to assume that none of this NYC snow is sticking to the ground :(

which looks so lovely in this picture taken by The Sartorialist


but i would love to have a couple of inches of snow to walk around in tomorrow.

Testing Testing

Trying out blogging from my iPhone. Let's see if this works!

bad girl!

ok i have not posted in a month :(
ive been bad.

well i do have good reason. i recently moved into the city and have been busy just getting settled, buying new furniture, getting settled, organizing, getting settled.
apparently i have a little bit of organizing OCD. my new roommates can attest to this.
i can't help it.
well our apt is a bit of a mess because i somehow got my 2 other roommates to change up/reorg their rooms so now our house looks like a bomb went off!

well hopefully things will be all cleared very soon!
