10 Weekly Obsessions (5/13-5/19)
10. These sunglasses
MARC BY MARC JACOBS 54mm Retro Sunglasses in transparent coral
So I’m obsessed with these sunglasses. They are BEAUTIFUL. I’ve always hated sunglasses because I don’t think they look good on me, not to mention I think eye contact is a MUST when talking to people, so obviously I would prefer if people could actually see my eyes. These reasons are the only thing holding me back from buying these beauties, but I don’t know how much longer I can resist!
9. Amy’s organic pesto tortellini
This stuff is so so so so good. I really only bought it
because it was on sale, and I was curious about whether or not an organic
frozen meal would taste any better than a regular one. Well, either organic
makes all the difference or I just got lucky and picked the right meal, because
this was delicious! It DOES have a strong taste of basil so I wouldn’t
recommend it if that’s an issue, and I did add quite a bit of Parmesan cheese
to it because who DOESN’T add extra cheese to anything they can? It’s a bit
pricy, as I paid $5 for it and that was the sale price, I think the original
price is $7…for a frozen meal? I will definitely pick up some more though…while
they’re on sale.
8. CoronaRitas
I am thoroughly ashamed in admitting this, but I have wanted
one of these ever since seeing Snooki downing one on the Jersey Shore. When my
boyfriend text me Sunday evening asking me to meet him and a friend for a Sunday
happy hour nearby, I couldn’t say no. When I walked in, there he was, looking
drunk and happy along with our friend, and they credited the CoronaRitas for
their inebriated state. I’m not a fan of margaritas OR Coronas, but this was
just fun to drink and definitely got the job done, so I’m sure I’ll be making
more appearances at this Sunday happy hour in the near future.
7. Eggs and hot sauce
I don’t know how it happened. I would judge my boyfriend because
he puts hot sauce on EVERYTHING. Pizza, green beans, any type of meat, mac and
cheese, and ALL of my cooking (which I would take as a sign that he didn’t like
my cooking, but I have just come to
accept that he just loves hot sauce), but then I got curious, so I started to
give hot sauce a chance. Hot sauce and green beans were a no-go, but hot sauce
and pizza? Success! Then, I put it on my eggs…and didn’t love it. Then, I put
it on my eggs again…and I liked it. Then, I put it on my eggs again…and I ended
up eating eggs and hot sauce all week. I know my boyfriend is secretly basking
in this ‘I-told-you-so’ moment.
6. My new bar cart
AHHHHH isn’t it beautiful?? My boyfriend and I have been
looking for ways to make our apartment perfect for us, so we like to have fun
things in it. This bar cart is the latest addition to that, since we, um, certainly
enjoy our cocktails and we want to fill our apartment with things we love.
Obviously, we now have to buy alcohol so that it’s stocked, but that’s the fun
part!
5. My new dress:
4. Music from The Great Gatsby
For over a decade, the Cruel Intentions soundtrack has been
my favorite movie soundtrack of all time. For the first time ever, it’s facing
some competition. I LOVED the music from this movie. Two of my favorites:
$100 Bill, Jay-Z
This quirky version of Beyonce’s Crazy In Love by Emeli Sande.
3. My red Converse
Let me tell you something about my red Converse. I ADORE
THESE SHOES. My red Converse are my babies. Unfortunately, I drunkenly lost my
original pair. Yes, I lost the pair of shoes I was wearing while drunk. I would
drop a ‘don’t ask,’ but I don’t remember how it happened so I wouldn’t be able
to answer anyway. Obviously, being that I love these shoes, I HAD to re-order
them the first chance I got, which was a complete pain in the ass. Converse run
big, so I am a men’s size 3, women’s size 5, which is the 22cm shoe (this will
become relevant in a few sentences) which is unavailable EVERYWHERE. Fortunately,
my boyfriend came to the rescue as he always does and found out that I could
get a grade school boys’ size 4, also 22cm. So I order them, shouldn’t be a
problem right? Nope! Package comes, they sent me a MEN’S size 4, 23cm.
Obviously, I call to resolve this, they tell me they’ll send me another pair,
which comes the next day…and it’s ANOTHER pair of men’s size 4, 23cm!!! At this
point, I am livid, so I call again, and this time around, they claim that the
men’s and boys’ size 4 shoes are the same, even though it CLEARLY says on the
website that one is a 22cm and the other a 23cm!! Fortunately, despite the
incredibly frustrating experience, all was well at the end of the day, when the
customer service representative realized I could just order the shoe in a
little kid’s size, which also saved me 25 dollars! So now I have my beloved
pair of shoes, which are TINY (I am a firm believer that Converse look better
when they’re small)…and I also have 2 pairs of men’s size 4 which I have to
ship back -_-
2. The Great Gatsby
I have no complaints about this movie. Unlike many (what I
believe to be foolish) people, I read the novel, but I didn’t bring it into the
movie theater with me. The novel is a CLASSIC, I don’t think it would be
possible to make a movie that would live up to that. Therefore, when I went to
see Gatsby, I had no ludicrous expectations of how well it would honor the
novel, which I think was a major reason why I enjoyed it so much. I thought the
film was artistic, quirky, dramatic, funny AND sad all at once, and definitely
one of the most enjoyable movie-going experiences I have had in some time.
1. Young and Beautiful
I know, I know.
Technically this should be under #4, but this song is a standout. Lana Del Rey
is my favorite singer, so when I heard she was doing a song for Gatsby I was
the happiest girl alive. Then I heard the song…and orgasmed. THIS SONG IS
FANTASTIC. I had already fallen in love with it before seeing Gatsby, but now
it’s officially an obsession. I have been playing it NONSTOP. Even my boyfriend
declared it his favorite Lana song (dethroning Ride).
