You Think You Know Me, But You Have No Idea

What are you wearing now?

Black blazer with satin trims over a fitted, white tank. Worn with a pair of medium wash skinnies and patent peep-toe pumps. Black, of course.

What’s the last thing you read/are currently reading?

The current issue of Elle magazine (US) whilst ogling at Kate Hudson’s outfits from the issue beforehand. I do wish to start reading a book, but, once again, a lack of time prevents me from doing so! Oh! I am currently in the midst of re-reading Pride & Prejudice. It’s sitting on my nightstand, along with the four other books I’ve started but never finished. Including President Obama’s first narrative. And some philosophical book that’s quite fantastic.

Do you nap a lot? / Who was the last person you hugged?

Time is of the essence! Nope! / My best friend.

What’s your current obsession/addiction?  

Singular? Quite impossible to choose one. Blogging, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, window shopping online, sweaters, black boots, cocktail rings, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, green tea.

Which item from you closet are you wearing most lately?  

I tend not to repeat my clothing within a month’s time. But I think my jeans get the most wear! They are a wardrobe staple for me!

What’s for dinner?  The most delicious salad ever made, and mash potatoes & gravy. The salad consists of: fresh baby spinach, yellow pepper, orange pepper, red pepper, stripped rotisserie chicken, sliced boil eggs, and ranch dressing. It’s quite the colorful salad; aesthetically pleasing too!

What was the last thing you bought?

A gorgeous crocheted top, black, with butterfly sleeves. It’s quite easy to see that I have a penchant for these type of tops (keep reading and you shall see!). It’s heavily knitted, but the holes make it the perfect spring/fall top. Gorgeous, really. And only $48!

What are you listening to right now?

“Jai Ho” from the soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire. A truly brilliant piece, mind you, with the most incredible beats. Any choreography to this particular song would be, to say the least, sick.

If you could have any super power, what would it be?

To be able to read people’s mind. Saves the hassle of dealing with boys who cannot make up their minds, or can’t seem to communicate properly. ;] I just like to know how others think, really – it’s quite fascinating!

What time do you usually get up?  

Oh, around 7:15 a.m. or so.

What is your most challenging goal right now?

Keeping myself from stressing out!

Say something to the person who tagged you:  If you should ever tire of your closet, don’t hesitate to send the unwanted garments my way! In fact, I’ll give you my address… ;]

If you could have a house–totally paid for, fully furnished–anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be? 

New York City or Paris. Then my life would be complete.

Favorite vacation spot? 

Anywhere in Europe!

What is your favorite item of clothing? 

Only one? This is ridiculously hard. At the moment, it is a (surprise surprise) black, butterfly/batwing top with a deep v-neck. I love everything about it; the lightweight knit allows versatility in any season; it’s cut allows it to be dressed up or down; and it can be worn off the shoulders or on, depending on how sexy I feel like being ;].

Favorite pair of shoes you keep going back to over & over, even though your closet is overflowing with a zillion others?  My trusty black boots; with a stacked heel of, oh, say three inches. The most comfortable pair of shoes I own, really. I wear them with nearly everything! And how I wish my closet was overflowing with shoes…

Name one thing you cannot live without:

My laptop. My not-so-little baby, a.k.a. my life! Without it I cannot type away when I have an idea or revelation, blog about my little heart’s desires, seek inspiration, ogle at items I will never be able to afford, talk with friends, and perhaps research for actual, constructive purposes. It also happens to have my entire iTunes library (and as you all know by now, music is my obsession/passion/love); it acts as my speakers, so I can dance around whilst typing away fervently.

What time is bed time?   

Usually around 12 p.m. However, I don’t fall asleep until the ungodly hours of the morning. Insomniac, you can say. But I prefer nocturnal. I do love the night life. 

If you could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning, where would it be? 

In New York City, in my own apartment or flat of some sort, in the arms of James Franco. Oh I kid about the last part. But it would quite lovely…
