A Very Quick TiLT

1.The Sandman Comics. Oh my goodness. How good are they?
2.The boif and the song he wrote for me. 'Nuff said.
3. FreePeople. I love love love their dresses. I'm ordering some.
4. School. It starts next week! I'm really excited and really terrified at the same time. It's been a year or more since I've been in school (I took a year off) so I'm a bit worried. Which basically means my math teacher is going to end up seeing my face everyday.
5. Lush for letting me take all sorts of samples home and for making my skin awesome.
6. Blue nail polish, still. I love purple more but I can't ever find the right plum or eggplant shade in stores. I love blue nail polish because it's easy to find and it's a great alternative to black which I think tries too hard.
7. Grandaddy. My grandfather is 88 years old and still mows the lawn, cooks, runs to the grocery store, babysits, and talks nonstop. You should hear him tell ghost stories. During the day time, we all just shrug them off but at night, when it's pitch black and we're laying in our beds, they keep us up.

Things I Love Thursday

I'm sorry, this one's gonna be really quick cause I hafta run to work!

*Lush! I'm loving my new job there. Everyone there is so cool and so laid back (which is very different from the other job.) I can wear what I want (as long as it's black and white.) I'll show you guys what I'm wearing today as an example. And you can't beat my discount (I get half off everything.)
*Fireflies- Now that it's actually summer in Georgia there've been lots of fireflies running around. The last time I saw any was when I was really young, so I'm very excited.
*My recent purchases- My sandals and black lame skirt which, as you all know, I've been lusting over for aaaaages. Pictures soon, I promise!
*The boif- He read my blog and he dutifully took me out. Not once but twice. Curry and shisha, yum.
*Make Fetch Happen- I love her take on fashion in all it's glory and horror. This article is extremely interesting to me. It's about race in fashion, about the decline of supermodels, and how clothes are portrayed on the runway. It's a great read!
*Carmen Solomon- Beautiful beautiful girl. She has the same sort of alienish beauty that a lot of top models have today. It's the kind of thing where you love her or you hate her, and I adore her!

Things I Love Thursday, 1st Edition

◊ The Long Hair Care Forums: It's a site that I think all people with curly, kinky, and relaxed hair should check out. Just great advice on things to keep your hair healthy. I'm sure some of the stuff there would be good for naturally straight haired people, but most of it is catered to people who's hair is naturally dry (like people with curly hair.) And it's great for black women cause it removes the notion of "good hair." We all have good hair, we just don't know how to take care of it right!

◊ The boif: He's cute, he's smart, he's funny. He takes pictures of me and puts up with my antic. And he's taking me out this weekend (yes, yes you are; hey, I just thought I'd let you know)

◊ Mint chocolate chip ice cream: Yummy! Enough said.

◊ The fashion blogging community: No, seriously. I was about to tear my hair out over the lack of understanding. Where I live, short shorts and matching your heels to your bag, to your shirt is the height of fashion. I know people have been all over boots and back but I still get looks when I wander out in my boots.

◊ My new job at Lush! Ahh! So excited! I start next week! I'm definitely looking forward to meeting new people and buying my favorite soaps at lower prices.
