saison du printemps

it's sunday night.
i'm feeling restless.
what i would really love more than anything right now is a mac n cheese + mex hot choc pie from the pie hole...but i'll opt for some other small delights (both edible and not) that exhibit the aura of spring.

for eats:

carrots and edamame! 

 for fun:

my aggregate supply of nail polishes

i bought these on sale for $3 each at little tokyo's american apparel...i was instantly besotted with the salmon pink and the darker magenta! both are perfect for spring/summer; the salmon would be beautiful against a light outfit or beach day wear, and the magenta would look awesome with some night-out apparel for the evenings. 

the day i received my first paycheck from gelato paradiso (GP) coincided with my weekend in LA. krista and i went to the americana and downtown/little tokyo...which resulted in one magnificent example of cross-cancellation. throughout my capitalistic escapades, my thought process was pretty flawed (constant justifications including "it could be more expensive" and "$15 for an new arrival h&m dress is so cheap!"), and naturally, the receipts added up.

time to start saving, ashley...to buy BETTER things! like a rebel (to replace my stolen canon) or to, i don't know, pay for fall 2012 tuition?

i need to reorganize my priorities.

also, i apologize for the shoddy photo quality; i'm using my phone until i upgrade my poorly-functioning camera.
