Hello, 2012

Things I Want to Spend Money On, But Am Continually Talking Myself Out Of:
2 pair black boots, one flat, one wedge or small heel
Teeth whitening
Invisible braces
Stripper unicorn hair
Some kind of sweater that is not a hoody that is appropriate for everyday wear. Maybe two of these.
New black jeans.
New dresses.


Things I Want to Spend Money On More, But Will Not Be Able to If I Am Spending It on Other Things (See Above):
Paris in the fall
Barre 3 membership
Ballet classes
A new bicycle
A tambourine, a triangle, and a ukelele


Goals And Resolutions For 2012:
No more alcohol for the rest of January (may be extended thru February, although I doubt it...)
Pull a Nicole Richie and live on coffee and green juice for the rest of January (will most likely be extended thru February)
Continue to become ambidextrous (See Goals And Resolutions For 2011)
Learn more French
Attend college
Learn how to save money
Play the drums more
Shop at the farmers markets more
Learn to look at the bigger picture more

Portland's Pendleton Collection Fall 2011

I know that this news is a few months old, but today's gloomy weather (Hello! Portland! Summer!?) has really got me craving a big-ass grampa sweater and a mug of cocoa. I want basically all of these pieces, but I'll probably end up with just one of those sweaters or that poncho. Can we please talk about that poncho?!
