"Hmmm I haven't really made any new year's resolutions—I find that its better to surprise myself than to have expectations I can't keep. But I guess if I had to make one it would be to eat more organic…no junk food. Except for maybe pineapple buns!" - Alexander Wang, designer
O-M-G! Bolo Bao!!! I love him!

Obsessed with Kiehl's
Maybe it's the combination of the weather plus STRESS but I've been feeling pretty anti-social this past week. I would rather stay in and hibernate than go outside.
If I wasn't watching the House marathon on TV this weekend, I was either shopping (good-bye Christmas $$$) or putting this goo on my face:
I always end up creeping out my sister when I have this mask on because it dries a goblin-esque green color. Fifteen minutes with this on and I could barely feel my face. Wheeeeee!
It left my skin soft and dewy and apparently it clarifies. Therefore, Kiehl's Rare Earth Facial Cleansing Mask = Cynthia approved!

Thakoon for Target GO International
The Thakoon GO International line came out on Sunday at Target. A majority of the line, if not all, is inspired by his Spring 08 RTW collection.
I wasn't too impressed by anything in the line and considered only this shibori print shirt dress:
Then I decided I liked the original better:
Oh well.

Rain Rain Go Away
I hate the rain especially when it disrupts my Friday night festivities. My hair gets frizzy. My clothes get wet. I don't own rain boots. Carrying an umbrella makes me feel awkward. Luckily last night I had on my Complex Geometries hooded T to help me keep somewhat dry.
This girl seems to be handling the rain well enough for The Face Hunter to take her photo. Good bangs in the rain??? I am so envious.

Warm Indian Nights
I saw this the other night with my sister. It's probably one of the better films I've seen this year. I was amazed by the vibrancy, the colors, the music, and the romanticism of Slumdog Millionaire. It's one of those movies that sort of lets you escape from the real world. I highly recommend seeing it.
Afterwards, my sister and I went to the newly opened Dosa on Fillmore St.; actually it was opening night! The space is much larger than the original Dosa on Mission St., has a full bar, and is 10x swankier. The amber lighting and the dark wood furniture gave it a very sexy pants feel which was nice and weird at the same time. The food was pretty delish and we ended our meal with some cardamom gelato which was surprisingly light and refreshing.
Date night with lil' sis: SUCCESS!

Green Chicken
Green chicken
"The chicken, a rather unexplored shape, found its place amongst my green dreams. I wanted to portray this common bird as a sensational object by amplifying its characteristics and dimensions, turning it into a modern piece, one of great beauty and utility: a rocking chair. The movement, subtle and constant, would give the object a zoom-like trait, a sense of speed and dynamism. My green chicken had taken on a face, a shape, a place and a function."

Saturday night, somebody reminded that this band existed. The last time I listened to The Notwist was the summer before I left for college.

Yes We Can!
"This is our moment.This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."

YSL at the De Young 11.1.2008 - 4.5.2009
In the 1960s Yves Saint Laurent made an indelible mark on fashion with clothing emblematic of the new modernity. Yves Saint Laurent, organized by FAMSF and The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in collaboration with the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent, explores the designs that made Saint Laurent famous, and his inspirations drawn from art, theatre, history, literature, and nature. This exhibition contains nearly 130 accessorized garments and sketches illustrating the lines, colors, and fundamentals of Saint Laurent’s work. This is the only U.S. venue.
I cannot wait to see this !!!
It's finally here. I remembering blogging about this in August.
