new addictions
Sunday 8.22.2010
I’ve been shopping for house decor and accessories these past few weeks for my sister’s new house. We used up a lot of mileage, but managed to find some spectacular deals at some local thrift and vintage shops. And of course, the always reliable Ross and Marshall’s Home Goods stores did not disappoint either. You would think the living room or entertainment room is the most important and expensive place in a house, but I beg to differ. So far, we’ve mostly been buying essentials for the kitchen, and the needs and wants just doesn’t seem to end! I think I’ve been substituting my dress shopping addiction for kitchen knick knacks.
Anyway, isn’t this hand painted drink dispenser the loveliest? It’s quite a splurge, but I think the party hostess in me is really considering getting one. And these ceramic fruit baskets remind me of those green plastic ones that strawberries come in. My mom always bought those when I was younger.

I can be a pretty bad Forever 21 fiend sometimes. OK. 95% of the time. But I really can’t help it. I’m a starving artist student. That’s the worst combination ever! And I really should not give into mass production and consumption, but these little details always manage to make me giddy. It’s a shopping problem I have.

Just saw a great episode of House Hunters International. This British couple is looking for a ruin in Portugal and it seems just so awesome. They seem like a really fun couple. They finally decided on the house that I really love. Wow what I wouldn’t give for a property like that. Just watch! Life in Ruins
going retro again
Saturday 8.15.2009
Going retro is looking better these days. More things to add to my wish list:
Minox Rolleiflex mini digital camera
With companies like Apple churning out new iPhones and Tablets every year, its hard for me not to yearn for more simpler things in life. But than again, a little technological advancement couldn’t hurt either. I saw this Minox digital camera today and it just looks so darn cute. Although, it’s only got 3.1 megapixels and it has mixed reviews so far, it’s still a neat item for avid camera collectors out there who can’t decide between the old and the new. Maybe if they start making this camera with a higher megapixel and in a larger format , I’d like to have it for my collection one day. It would be so awesome to shoot with the lens capabilities of a medium format camera and also getting those quick digital outputs.
The lines are so sleek on this bike. The cognac leather seats are a definite plus along with the chain covers. And the tires are definitely pleasing since I’m not too fond of balloon tires.
