So excited about this book!

Have you heard of White Girl Problems (I mean, besides the ones I tell you about here)? It's this chick who has a Twitter (@whitegrlproblem) and tweets about hilarious superfluous situations that only the most decadent woman would find herself in. She's totally superficial, bitchy, and selfish. In a good way. Beginning only in 2010, she's skyrocketed to almost half a million followers. Turns out she's releasing her first book in January (girlfriend moves fast)! White Girl Problems: A Novel by Babe Walker. Should be very amusing and you know how much I like to be amused. Last week she tweeted the following:

 

You can read the d-bag's article here. It's funny. She also has a blog where presently you can read a chapter of her book! Love it.

Two sweet-ass things to check out.

Ever read T Magazine? Well, you should. It's pretty sweet. It is a virtual magazine by NY Times and is divided into seven sections: Women's Fashion, Men's Fashion, Design, Travel, Food, Culture, and Video. Here are my two favorite regular features in the Women's Fashion section..

Model-Morphosis.

This is a cool photo feature that that exhibits a model's face before and after make up. Kinda pisses you off a little though, because they all look good before, too. Sometimes better. Anyway, you can drag the line back and forth and see any portion of before and after. Badass.

The Daily Shoe.

There is a shoe right off the runway. I'm not really clear if this is a regular feature or just a regular feature during fashion weeks. Either way, I like it. I hope the former. They sort through all of the fashion shows and pick the most.. stand out shoe of the day. They are usually an awesomely beautiful pair of footwear. This one ain't my favorite, I'll be real with you. But usually, really cool. I'll probably get sued by T Magazine after I post this..


i miss my blog,
jayteewo.

Thanks, girl.

A thank you to Urban Outfitters for having a whole section of their website specifically dedicated to Apartment decor. It makes those of us feeling like we might be in this limbo living situation for the rest of our lives feel that perhaps, somewhere out there in the cosmos, someone understands.

Additionally, the blog Apartment Therapy does the same thing for apartment dwellers with our mini kitchens with no counter space, slanting mini porches and carpet we'd never choose ourselves. You are "saving the world one room at a time!" So thanks, girl(s). It means so much.


sincerely,
jayteewo.

I want Wednesday.

The above ad is from a very awesome blog called A Beautiful Mess. Elsie (the one holding the camera) has a lot of flair. She does all sorts of DIYs and has a seriously integrated blog from all angles plus a physical store front. What a smart gal! She's obviously doing pretty well and since I am a new blogger, I want to take her e-course for bloggers called "Blog Love" as I think I could learn from her. Obviously I need it, this place is a dump. She has several other courses, too, and they are very reasonable. Kirsty Lu says it'd be muy helpful.

Next, I want this gold metallic pouf by Nate Berkus. Yes, a pouf. No, not the magazine. It is perfect for my walk-in closet when I'm deliberating what to wear. I need somewhere to sit in that place! So naturally a gold pouf is the answer. Perfect.

Kirsty Lu.

You should read this cute girl's blog. I've known her for over 20 years (a lot for a 20-something-year-old). Her blog is filled with vintage-y craftiness and decor ideas. You'll love it!

until next time,

jayteewo.

I want Wednesday.

I want this peacock print (by Eleanor Grosch with PushMePullYou Design, $40). But to be honest, I haven't any more wall space so it'll have to wait. I love Eleanor's art and have been following her for a while. Most of her work depicts animals in a unique, graphic way. She's got a really cool way of looking at things. She's always updating her blog at justeleanor.com.


These glasses are shmancy. I'm lovin a cat's eye frame. (Look Sharp Shades in taupe, $24) The pair I really want are Chanel and they have sparkles in the lenses! Sparkles!


see ya,
jayteewo.

This is Anthropologie's blog.

These people know what the hell they're doing. I think it's still kind of in the beta stages, though. Something to watch out for. Look.


faithfully,
jayteewo.
