Makeup

Stopped in Sephora today, killing time. Was followed by four separate Sephora ladies around the store. Made me feel quite jittery. I had not a single minute without someone "straightening shelves" nearby or pacing back and forth down my aisle.

Still, I tried on these products:
Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream
Benefit Posietint
Benefit Rose Lip Balm

And I fondled these:
Urban Decay's Lid Liner in Smog (a kind of sparkly grey-green)
Stila Convertible Color in various colors
Giorgio Armani Gio
Marc Jacob for Men
Burberry Touch

Thrift Triumph

It's only my thrift-store finds that garner compliments.

a.p.c. dresses

love their dresses. simple cuts, so they're easy to layer. the only fancy touches are the location of the waistline and the prints and fabrics. there is a naive quality about them as well, where they betray their french pedigree.

the ones that i have earmarked for spring: the simple smock with the tie neck and another with ruffled sleeves.

new idea for a uniform

mini skirts
long cardigans
thin tees

all in black...

international students from asia

at school, the international students wear the cutest outfits. two styles in particular have recently caught my eye:

* the very colorful, very "kawaii" style--full of tee shirts, animal iron-ons, childish prints, etc.

* the high-maintenance babe style--louis vuitton bag, heels, skinny legs, and immaculately pressed clothes
