never thought i would say this: leopard
COACH
LEOPARD OXFORD BOOTIE
i was never a big fan of coach...or LEOPARD!! but at the supermarket i saw this girl sporting a slicked back ponytail and a white button up blouse, tucked into skinnies...which would usually be a very normal outfit, if she wasn't sporting these babies...they looked stunning! the perfect touch to such a plain look; and when she told me they were coach i was shocked! kudos to coach.

Next on my reading list: Blink
By Malcolm Gladwell - obviously.
"It's a book about rapid cognition, about the kind of thinking that happens in a blink of an eye. When you meet someone for the first time, or walk into a house you are thinking of buying, or read the first few sentences of a book, your mind takes about two seconds to jump to a series of conclusions. Well, "Blink" is a book about those two seconds, because I think those instant conclusions that we reach are really powerful and really important and, occasionally, really good.
You could also say that it's a book about intuition, except that I don't like that word. In fact it never appears in "Blink." Intuition strikes me as a concept we use to describe emotional reactions, gut feelings--thoughts and impressions that don't seem entirely rational. But I think that what goes on in that first two seconds is perfectly rational. It's thinking--its just thinking that moves a little faster and operates a little more mysteriously than the kind of deliberate, conscious decision-making that we usually associate with "thinking." In "Blink" I'm trying to understand those two seconds. What is going on inside our heads when we engage in rapid cognition? When are snap judgments good and when are they not? What kinds of things can we do to make our powers of rapid cognition better?"
IM EXCITED.
malcolm gladwell for president
He's a genius; i felt enlightened after reading this book...and a couple levels cooler carrying it around.
Who knew that the majority of major league hockey players are born in the first three months of the year? Or that the the smartest man with an IQ higher than Einstein's is sitting somewhere on a farm in rural Minnesota because a slew of unfortunate events led him to miss an opportunity at success. Random facts that you would never know compiled into one book about success. Its great.
the catcher in the rye
"The goddam movies. They can ruin you. I'm not kidding."
(Chapter 14, pg. 104)
Holden is describing an event he can picture happening with Maurice, the elevator guy. He imagines an action-filled scene which was far from the reality of the situation. Then he says this quote. Its very true. Movies exaggerate almost every life experience, to the point that we are not satisfied with real life situations because they aren't as eventful as in the movies. We sometimes forget that movies are fake and life is real. We need to lower our expectations and enjoy every day. Sometimes when we watch TV we forget that these people are actors, playing parts for a couple hours, laughing because thats what it says to do in the script.

"Remember clothing is a choice. We were born naked!!! Fresh is an opinion, love is objective, taste is selective and expression is my favorite elective." - Kanye West
I met Kanye at the airport in Paris, later I decided to stalk his blog and other than pictures of his beautiful girlfriend, I found this surprisingly amazing quote.
