My next [online] purchase:

It's all about the rose gold..

 Was considering ceramic, but I don't find it as classic and timeless..

Online purchases are a breed of insta-happy on their own.. It's like *click click*, you're mine now.

or AKA Visa exploitation.

I've got Man Shoulders.

There was a time where I'd complain about my so-called "man shoulders" *cue Regina George voice*. Somehow, I was convinced that I had developed a boxier frame due to my years at the pool (thank you, butterfly stroke). This notion was confirmed thanks to my dad's relentless teasing.. He only teased me cause he knew better; he knew that broad shoulders weren't the end the world. In fact, broad (or feigned broad) shoulders might be a woman's gateway into what we'd call a man's world.

 It's only until now that I can really say that I love a woman with strong shoulders. More importantly, I love a woman who isn't afraid to draw added attention to an area that has been previously associated to our male counterparts. I used to poke fun at my mum's old-school shoulder pads, but now I'm wondering Why should men get all the glory? I got shoulders too, y'all.. And they fine as hell!

An embellished frame can make you look taller, stand straighter, and embody the aura of an all-business-no-nonsense-type prowess.. In the snap of a finger, you're polished. You're tailored. You've added a feminine mystique to a once no-girls-allowed property.

This leads to my current situation: I'm on the search for the perfect blazer(s).

On my list already.. (Mmhmm, this post doubles as my shopping list. Girl's gotta multitask somehow.)

The UPS Man

The UPS Man came by this morning [in all his glory] while I was still in bed getting ready for work (I use a handheld mirror because I like sitting in bed for as long as I can.) I heard the doorbell ring and my dad answer it. The UPS Man said, "You owe me $24.75." I thought I heard that in the 4 digit range, so I was thinking in my head, Did Dad finally get caught doing something? Is this the bounty hunter or some shit?

After the UPS Man left (leaving traces of gold behind him, no doubt), Dad brought in my giant box from UO and told me I owed him 25 dollars. Despite having 5 minutes prior to leaving for work, I tore shit up.

Here's my first haul EVER (also my first pair of harem pants). Everything is purchased from urbanoutfitters.com. I usually get my online purchases sent to a P.O. Box in Point Roberts, I'm so nervous and I can't help but utter the words "um" and "like" every few seconds. Bear with me..



Brands are: Staring at Stars, ByCorpus, Fletcher by Lyell, and BDG
