I love seeing pictures of other people closets...or in some cases clothes rooms (like everyone's favorite from Domino, Jenna Lyon's wardrobe) Maybe it seems personal since they're usually hidden behind doors, and makes it interesting to see the way somebody organizes their clothes and shoes. Either way, mine doesn't look anything like these!

I'm about to continue shooting my final photo assignment for the year, and am feeling so indecisive. I change my mind every week and have mixed feelings about majors, double majors, and opportunities in the future. Which city should I go to for what? I wrote a list of my top five dream jobs at the beginning of the year, and I still would love to be involved with any of those things. I need to start meeting people who are doing what I want to do, and find out how they got there.

If you were to reach into my imaginary make-up bag, you'd find these things (except for the giant bottle of chocolate shampoo...) Inspired by yesterday's post, having a peek at other girl's favorite things and wanting to try new yummy-looking things.

Make-up always looks so glamorous before Christmas. It's so hard to resist the lovely packaging.

I've always loved the idea behind the What's in your bag? flickr pool. So many times I've found myself looking through, not being able to stop clicking next. Some possessions are in messy piles, others are organized lovingly by their owners. They really show an interesting portrait of the people they belong to.

Also it's just fun to be snoopy and see what kind of makeup and other things girl's keep in their pretty purses. (a lot of Marc Jacobs fans!)

After class tonight, I went to Thornbloom's first night of a Christmas ornaments sale, peppermint hot chocolate and brownie in hand, I impulsively picked out an entire set for my future Christmas tree.

I had to search for this blouse after watching Gossip Girl last night and seeing it on Blair. I found out on Chic Intuition that it's by Bill Blass. Hopefully I'll see a similar version that's a little more in my reach!

A quiet day in today since it was a holiday, but a nice, cozy one.
Like these pretty rooms I saved to my desktop the past few days.

I would love this 10 book set of Penguin Classics in these new gorgeous cover designs by Coralie Bickford-Smith. They are all books I haven't read yet but have been wanting to, and I think how beautiful they are would add some inspiration to. Ultimately, I am judging a book by it's cover, and how pretty it would look on my bedside table.

There are a lot of designers doing chandelier-inspired jewelry in the spring '09 collections. I've been trying to resist looking through them since it isn't even winter yet, but Lanvin especially caught my eye.

also this pretty flowery one found by Joanna Goddard during New York Fashion Week from Lizzie Fortunato.

I've happily added the word "greige" to my vocabulary, meaning the wonderful blend between grey, and beige. I've already accepted that I'm pretty boring when it comes to, oh, everything where color is involved. Is glitter a color? Because I think it's my favorite.
neutral + black + element of sparkle = everything I find pretty

I love this quatrefoil purse by Comme des Garçons I found in Domino magazine's gorgeous November issue as an editor's pick. Ryan and I had a fun day at the school galleries and I bought my first CD in months, In Ghost Colours from Cut Copy.

20th Century Art History got cut short, again, so tonight was lattes and cupcakes instead.

I don't usually like to reveal how much I love Gossip Girl, but there, I do. I especially love bitch Blair Waldorf's character, so when I found out today who was responsible for all of the "Eleanor Waldorf Designs"
I was pretty excited, and now I want to stuff the whole Abigail Lorick collection into my closet.
