shopping + new (old) camera

Sooooo my friend's mom owns this resale shop in lake forest and occasionally we'll go there and help out. There are trash bags filled with stuff these people want to get rid of. And by stuff I mean Prada bags, Coach briefcases (which i fell in love with,) vera wang wedding dresses, the works. I snatched up this lovely camera from the pile and even though it's worth about $10.00, I love it. 

The rest of the pics are from a downtown Chicago (state street) shopping trip.

Absolutely breathtaking. I've been really interested in film lately, and the images in this trailer only intensify that interest. I suppose it doesn't hurt that Brit Marling is probably the most beautiful person I've ever seen. I don't know if I can wait until this movie comes out in theaters. I'll be counting the minutes. The song that plays in the trailer is called That Home by the Cinematic Orchestra. 

Equally perfect.

new york city.

New York City was amazing. As usual. We went to the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the met, which was amazing. So beautiful. I may have to do a separate post on that... I saw The Normal Heart which was also amazing, and Born Yesterday, which I didn't like quite so much. (As hard as I try, I can never enjoy watching Jim Belushi.) As with any city the best part was just walking around. We were staying at the Chelsea International Hostel so I got to see a part of New York I've never seen before. I think I like SoHo more, but I feel like you have to actually live in NYC to get to know it really well. I've only scraped the surface.
Just proofread this, and I say amazing a lot. My apologies. here are some synonyms you can sub in.

• Astonishing
• Awesome
• wonderful
• fantastic
• Super cool (actually don't use that one.)

P.S. my friend Harper wants to be in this post. she's currently filming really strange and awkward videos with my camera... She says to follow her twitter here http://twitter.com/#!/harperrose and her twitter is locked but don't worry she adds anybody, it's only locked so that if someone she knows tries to follow her she can have a say in it (she doesn't want people to judge her). So follow her on twitter, she's trying to get up to 100 followers, she's at 63 right now! 

And she sorta wrote all this.

So yeah. 

Bye!!

A ring I bought at pippin vintage jewelry. My ring collection is slowly building, but its a process...

Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny

 I have been listening to My Cousin Vinny quotes my whole life. I've frequently been called a "yoot," by my parents, which led me to question their sanity quite a few times. After actually watching the movie my fears were put at ease (a little.) But the whole time I was watching this movie I was focused completely on Marisa Tomei and what she was wearing. I swear that movie could be put on mute and I would sit through all 120 minutes of it just to see her costumes. She has this 80's/early nineties thing going which reminds me a lot of lady gaga for some reason...Anyway these pictures don't need much explaining. Just immerse yourself in the wonderful culture on display here. I think she looks pretty great.
