Are We There Yet? May 27, 2008

I am a complete psycho. The time has come for me to embrace this truth and own up to my shortcomings. You may be asking yourself, ‘Why is Anna calling herself names?’, ‘What is she talking about?’, or ‘Why is Anna sitting in the corner talking to herself and crying?’ These are all excellent questions. [...]

Call Me Anna…Wintour May 25, 2008

A while ago, back in bleak November, I made an account on the ever-fabulous style.com, the Vogue website. I spent a giddy five days creating a glamourous alter ego for myself; one of those wealthy women who don’t seem to do much except be about New York and recieve free designer clothing. I then sat in [...]

Buy Me Something Expensive, Sugardaddy May 24, 2008

During a birthday gift shopping excursion to the mall yesterday, a friend of mine (henceforth referred to as ‘Nicole’) and I were distracted by the incredible good looks of one Robert Downey Jr. and went to go see Iron Man. All things considered (excepting Gynnie’s unfortunate hair color, the fact that she was named Pepper [...]

Play that Funky Music, White Boy May 20, 2008

So, today was my Juilliard audition for their pre-college program…and I am completely psyched to say that I got a callback! I should know by tomorrow night if I’ve been accepted. As I sat in the waiting room, I couldn’t help but notice some of the outfits other people were wearing; one girl had a [...]

Stay in School, Kids May 15, 2008

So, I know that I’m supposed to be in class right now, but unfortunately I overslept and missed my ride; hence the sabbatical…which I am filling with infomercials, online shopping, and re-runs of Season 3 of Top Chef on Bravo. Is there a better cooking show on TV? I think not. I have a massive crush [...]

We Kinda Kicked It in the Chillout Tent… May 13, 2008

Man, that title has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but I just haven’t been able to stop listening to the Hold Steady’s 2006 album, Boys & Girls in America, lately. The title’s from one of my favourite tracks that I’ve been humming nonstop, much to the chagrin of some friends.
So, it’s that time [...]

Dominatrix Disco Fever May 10, 2008

This has been a fun week in music, and its only going to get better, people! Here are the new and upcoming releases that I can’t wait to groove to; Animal Collective, Flight of the Concords, Socratic and Spoon all released new albums this week, and upcoming are releases from The Presets, Rogue Wave, Guillemots, and Olivia [...]

Argyle (& Alter Egos) May 9, 2008

I’ll admit it, I’ve always been a fan. Even before we saw Luella put the chic back into comic-book-freak during the Spring 2008 RTW shows, I’d been wearing the classic, yet slightly dorky, but unbelievably flattering print with thick framed glasses and neutral wool blazers (the perfect camoflauge to go hunting for cute academics hiding in the Harvard [...]

My newest love affair… May 8, 2008

is with an incredibly magnificent chapeau that I recently purchased. I’ve been obsessing over straw fedoras for god knows how long, and they have finally become unpopular enough to warrant a purchase. Actually that’s a lie; it wasn’t a matter of their popularity, but more of my breaking the habit of compulsively spending all of my money [...]
