birthday outfit

(click photo for details)

Try and deny it as I might, today is in fact my birthday (and I know it's terribly cliché to be sensitive about birthdays, but it's just not a fun one for me, bleh.) In a perfect world, I'd be wearing something akin to this combo to dinner with the bf--even though a white blouse and red lipstick would be completely and totally impractical seeing as I'm planning on stuffing my face with pizza and bosc pear salad at Roberta's tonight! Guess I'll just have to be sure and pack my chicest bib...

Dagmar it's your birthday...

...happy birthday Dagmar!

It was my best friend's birthday yesterday--well, technically it still is where she lives, several thousands of miles away from me on the other side of this big stinkin' continent. Happy big 2-4 Dag, I miss you!! Hopefully I'll get your present sent off before Christmas this year.

When I say happy, you say...

Even my close friends often end up frustrated when it comes to buying me presents. I always tell them that they probably shouldn't bother, but more often than not they usually do anyways (because hey what are friends for if not buying you stuff??) What they don't understand is that I'm actually surprisingly easy to please. A big bouquet of flowers, any kind (even crocosmia!) will win you my heart 365 days a year.

Also, apologies all around for the recent creative slow-down. The Pains are back in town, the weather is shite, and it's my birthday tomorrow (today/Monday), so I have been feeling lazy, happy and extremely cranky in frequent shifts. I think we're going to celebrate with a trip to Momofuku Milk Bar (seriously, check out that menu!), which I've been wanting to do for ages. Nothing like celebrating 24 years on this planet with a slice of crack pie!
