My Autumn Collection

September 1st in a few hours. Can't believe it's autumn already!

Minnesota State Fair is going on, mm.... not planning to go... not quite interested in the Midwest cuisine on a stick...

Labor's Day long weekend is coming... the mark of a new school year. I think both my high school and college started the Tuesday after Labor's day... sigh* not my problem anymore...

Leaves are changing colors too.... freaky fast...

In the midst of all the end-of-summer blues, there's this one thing that excites me. Fall/Winter Collection. Fashion show people usually do collections like a year and half season ahead of time... Literally, Spring 2010 is premiering now... But for those non-fashion industry spoiled brats, we get to wear them at the right seasons. I mean, what's the point of premiering summery clothes when it's below 0 outside?!

My Abbie Blazer from Club Monaco. Boyfriend blazer, loosely fitted, navy blue.

What you see online...

UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found out that if you show your college ID, you can get 20% off at Club Mon USA!!! OMG! No wonder that other kid was asked for his college ID when I was in line, and how come I wasn't told?!?!?! Good that I did some research and finally found out about this... and Yes, they are going to grant me the price adjustment. Hahahaha!!!! Good that my UMich ID doesn't expire till May 2010. That means another year of 20% off all club mon items. WAKAKAKAKAK!!! This may actually just made my year...

Uptown Art Fair

The Minneapolis Uptown Art Fair was probably 2 weekends ago. I meant to blog about it, but well, obviously I never made it till now.

This is what I like about Uptown. You have the typical hippy/hobo feel in a Yuppy town. I cannot imagine kids living in the Uptown area to be completely messed up, but when it comes to social life, they know what they are doing. Urban outfitters, Chino Latino restaurant, Uptown bars and, yes, Victoria Secret... I love my Uptown!

So, the Uptown Art Fair was held literally below my apartment. The entire fair stretches from the Mall area to the main street Hennepin. It was unfortunate that most of the street traffic was blocked, but well, I shouldn't complain. The show ranges from painting, photography, sculptures to jewelries and food. I never consider myself as an art person. I really am not. I like beautiful things, but I can't make them... There's a reason why I'm an engineer after all...

But among all the beautiful things I saw in the Art Fair, this booth really caught my eyes. I just feel it. You know, you feel like this is something meant for you. This is my style:

Picture of KissKiss candies. How could I not like that? All the colors, all the love messages, all the Kissesssssss....

Random dancing robots. I don't know why, I picked this one to complete my buy 2 for $40 deal. I thought about the duckies, but I picked this one instead... don't know...

The artist describe himself as someone who just paints the basic things in life. All he did was enlarge the insiginificant things and had you look at it differently. It's kind of deep, don't you think? I guess if you really just look at all the small and little things in life, enlarge them 10 times, you probably could see something that nobody has ever noticed. Cool...

I still haven't figured out where to hang these two pictures. Oh, I really love that Kiss one. Maybe I should get the Big print next time...

My new obsession

Obsession is obsession because you are crazy over something you don't have. And because you don't have it, the more you crave for it and the crazier you get. And now, you are obsessed.

I don't know why I like the G37 so much. Maybe because that's something I can actually afford without eating rice for the rest of my life; Maybe because it's hip enough to look awfully cool in it, but not too luxurious that I'd look like I was a 16-yrs-old driving my Dad's Benzo...; Maybe its the not-so-common look, at least I should be able to spot my car right away at the parking lot, instead of streaming through rows of BMWs to finally find mine beeping...

But... just an obsession. With all the new promotion going on, I am really tempted to just trade in my long-term boyfriend, Lancer, for this new boy toy. Argh~~~~

If I have money for some Chanels....

Chanel Martriochka Enamel Bracelet Bag Awwwww~ so cute.  Matriochka doll! I wonder if they have those little ones stack inside the bigg ones too... LOL.. then it'd be more like a toy than a "bag"?!  I need to get to a store and check this out. Love it Love it Love it though! Matriochka... can't even pronounce the word...

A Belated Mother's Day Wish and still very stressful week...

So much for a caring and loving daughter... I totally wasn't prepared for the Mother's Day. My gift was late, no cards, failed to order flowers... but in order to make it up, I decide to spoil my mom a little bit with a coach make up pouch

My favority color of the moment: baby blue. Just kinda remember how my mom is still using a crappy make up purse, maybe I should get her a new one and make her happy. hehehe~

I'm very bad with dates, birthdays, anniversaies, special holidays, or any other important dates... they all slip by me like it has never happened before... I always feel bad forgetting my good friends' birthdays, but at the same time, I didn't expect them to remember mine. It's just a birthday anyway, why celebrate myself getting older... sucks... I'm in a self-denial mode on turning 24 this summer. It's not happening!

Anyway (or like the Minnesotan would say it , AnyHoo) I have no idea how to resolve this problem with my old landlord. She is being completely ridiculous on everything. Not only is she deducting my security deposit for the most inappropriate items (like hingers of the cabinets... wtf), but she also failed to contact me and respond immediately! So I was just getting worried that she's gonna take off with my money, I called her a few times (only 2 times!), wrote her 2 emails and stopped by her house to deliever my formal written notice on moving out, she's now saying I'm "harrassing" her........ Oh my goodness. This old lady is a riot! What's wrong with her?!?

Not only is she slow and useless, she's completely un-professional. How could she be so stupid? I need to be strong, be brave and I can't let her take me down. She's not worth me stressing over with. I can deal with this, and everything will be alright after this. This is only going to make me stronger and more independent. I can do this I can do this I can do this. That stupid old lady will regret she ever tried to mess with me!

ok, brainwash session done. I need support!!!
