I'm loving springtime patterns on a yellow background with espadrilles, as well as chambray and pale peach.

Even though it's officially spring, most of us are still layering. For now, I quite like it.

On a side note completely unrelated to these wonderful outfits: I can't decide if it makes more sense to get my camera fixed (at least $175) or to purchase a new camera (at least $300). I've had my Nikon D40 for two years and I'm willing to believe it still has a bit of life left, but I'm not sure how much. Then again, it might be nice to upgrade - either D80, which is just as old as the D40, but it's a better model, or the D3000/D3100. But since I'm scouring mostly Craigslist and shops' used equipment listings, there's no guarantee that any of them won't experience the same problems.

Attempting!

Not anything related to clothing or fashion, but I had a bit of fun around the city with my new camera. It's so unfortunate that I thought I'd be working literally all day and wouldn't have the opportunity to go out, because I didn't bring any nice clothes. And I didn't even bring my make up bag... eeks, haha. Sometimes I love my city.

Oh, and the fliers in the bottom picture were religious related, but I swear they used a picture of Kate Moss as Mary.

I'm planning a picnic/adventure at a nearby park. Hopefully it'll be pretty and relatively free of er, animal waste!

And just a quick list for my own usage of things I may want to purchase:
-"Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll" by Social Distortion
-self titled CD by Social Distortion
-bags of studs for embellishing my clothing!
-a camera tripod! (note to anyone: if you have a cheap one that gets the job done, please tell me about it)
-various clothing, sigh
-a netbook or inexpensive laptop, sighhh again
-an Operation Ivy tshirt (loveee them and Rancid)
-various vegan cookbooks (note to anyone: know of any good ones?)
-Everyday Minerals makeup (anyone have it?)
-jewelry, I neeeed some more!

But knowing me, I'll be super thrifty and not get anything although I've been wanting some of these items for ages...

My new...

Normally I would not post pictures of myself on a day like today - I'm incredibly tired and I look like a mess, but look what I got...



My new Nikon D40! I still have yet to play around with it because I took a much needed nap when I got home, but it's so awesome. And me being me, I have to brag about how much it cost me. I got it through Craig's List and I was really lucky because the person who was going to get it backed out at the last moment, but the guy charged me $250. I have never spent so much on something, but I feel amazing for getting $200 off.

So, expect to see more of this in the future!
