i just sat outside for awhile,

in the snowflakes,

with a t-shirt and sandals on.

there is no better way to end 2005 than with snowflakes.

i wore my czarina outfit today, pretty sweet. and even left my hair curly.

paula and i braved a MALL together today. it was scarring - to say the least. we spent the entire time lost, tired or other bad adjective. but it was fun, obviously. we spent about 10 minutes trying to find out way out of bloomingdale's and into the mall. then we realized we ( Read more... )
