"Such a long way... a long way."

Ew early morning post.  I just can't seem to sleep in these days.

Anyway, sorry for the lack of posting, I've been emotionally and physically under the weather these past few days =)

But enough about me... Since I work in a call center for an insurance company and it is so boring, I have a lot of free time to browse the internets, namely people.com because I'm a sick sap that way and enjoy celebrity gossip!  Actually, it's more just to see what these famous people are wearing these days.  Here are some favorites from this week:

Jennifer Connelly at the Japanese premier of "The Day the World Stood Still."  It looks like a horrid movie, (well, anything starring Keanu Reeves I assume is going to be horrid) but Jennifer looks amazing here.  She's so tall anyway, but those high-waisted trousers make her legs look a million miles long!  This is exactly the kind of ensemble I'd rock =)


Nicole Richie at the opening of the new D&G store in LA last Monday.  Wearing, what else?  D&G obviously.  I wonder if anyone showed up wearing something other than the Italian powerhouse...  She looks absolutely adorable!  And speaking of adorable...


Zooey!!!!!  She is so amazing.  I'm in love with this girl anyway, but she looks so darling in this silver Erin Featherstone number at the "Yes Man" premier in LA.  I just want to hug her and tell her how amazing she is and how I love it when she sings.


Also among the array of Young Hollywood that attended the D&G opening was Rachel Bilson.  As I said in a previous post i LOVELOVELOVE this jacket!!  I love this whole outfit really, but I'm going to have to do some major thirfting/vintaging to find a jacket or cardigan equally as amazing.  But really, the whole outfit is fantastic, and one of my favorites this week.


I love it when celebs wear the same shit that I do.  For instance, Rihanna in an oversized sweater, dark skinny jeans and Chucks and huge sunglasses?!  Come on that is my uniform for most of the year while I'm at school.  I'm usually not a big fan of Louis Vuitton but I do enjoy this Monogram Miroir bag.

So that's it.  I have more entries planned that I have been meaning to post this week, but alas, I have just been way to tired to function after work.  Word to the wise: never ever ever work in a customer service/call center setting.  8-hour days of listening to the endless bitching and whining of old fucks over the age of 65 can be exhausting.  Especially when they call you a "fucking liar" when you tell them they did not get a certain subsidy this year when you sent them the appliction, called them twice to remind them it was due and they still didn't do one simple task of filling out a form and mailing it in.  And then they wonder where their reimbursement money is.
It's all okay.  I applied at Nordstrom so hopefully I will hear back soon *crosses fingers*

Black Tie, White Noise

So... I know I'll be sad when skinny jeans and huge sunglasses go out of style, but I will REALLY be bummed when black nail polish does.  No, I'm not going to stop wearing it, but it has just been nice to not hear "You listen to Nine Inch Nails. You wear black nail polish. You must be gothic."

Yes, because the rest of me is sooooo "gothic."

Face it.  You may be sick of it but black nail polish hasn't left us yet!!  Of which I am happy about simply for the above reason.

BUT I hate *cheap* black polish.  You know, the kind that chips after 1 day of wear and it looks like shit.  I painted mine black for Thanksgiving (festive, I know) last Thursday, and it still looks decent today, not very chipped at all.  Thanks O.P.I!
One of these days I will buy the real good stuff: Chanel.  But I just can't bring myself to spend $25 on nail polish when the $11 O.P.I. does just fine.

Oh and apparently black lip gloss is in too, now, thanks to YSL's runway show.  The non-runway stuff is supposed to be really sheer and easy to wear.  I actually can't wait to try it! (In public, that is.)


YSL gloss in Pur Black, $28.00 and Lancome Color Fever gloss in Piha Black, $48.00

note: BTW, I did mine with just L'oreal eyeliner (the kind in the little jar) topped with a shit-ton of clear gloss =)
