Obama Wears His Flip Flops

Barack Obama. Let's see...President of the United States, father, husband, human-being. Why is the press horrified that he wore rubber flip flops while vacationing in Hawaii? Calm down; no fashion dilemma from my standpoint. I thought it was hilarious that he was featured on the cover of the The New York Post for wearing his rubbers. I'm pretty sure there are more important things to worry about (like the war in Afghanistan...I'm just sayin'). This reminded me of high school when my principal decided to ban wearing flip flops (I guess they were afraid of us spilling chemicals on ourselves in science class or something...whatever). My friend Andrew, like the rest of the school, was heated and made signs with a picture of open-toed Jesus that read "If Jesus can wear flip flops, so can we!" and posted them in the school. So Obama, in case the press gets too hard on you, use that line as your excuse; it should do the trick.

It's 2011!

Happy New Year!

In the words of my friend Victoria, "Let's be warriors in this new year and fight for the things that really matter in life." I hope you all had a safe and stylish New Years! Mine didn't go exactly as planned, but at least my friends and I looked fly while aimlessly walking around the city looking for something to do. Next New Year's Eve will be better, trust. 

Are you all enjoying your holiday breaks? I know I am. A couple of days ago some friends and I met for lunch on Newbury Street at Joe's American Bar & Grill; best turkey burger and sweet potato fries that I've ever eaten! Afterwards we went to see the movie Black Swan. If you haven't seen it yet, you should. It is definitely my favorite movie of 2010. I would tell you all about it but I don't want to give it away (I can't stand when people do that). Now that I think about, that was a pretty bomb day; great food, great movie, great friends. So, I of course wanted to share my outfit choice with you a.k.a show off my favorite Christmas present this year; my Marc by Marc Jacobs bag! I love it! The thick straps are perfect since I'm always carrying anything and everything in my bags. Excuse the rain boots, there's still snow on the ground (annoying) and I really did not feel like sacrificing my suede over-the-knee boots (you'll see them soon).
