On New Year's Resolutions

"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!

P.S. See ya, 2008!!!

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!

The City

Do you <3 The City > The Hills ???

I sorta do.

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.

Spine-y

Sort of in love with Mary Meyer. I already own her biggie onion top. Now I want this:

On Repeat: Bon Iver

Sorry for the lack of updates...things have been quite busy around here. Lately, I feel like I have no time to breathe though that does sound a bit cliché. Oh well. Listening to this helps a bit.







Look at who he is friends with!!! <3 <3 <3

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.
