A Belated Sunday Style: Snowy Sandiego

It snowed here on Saturday!  Brooklyn is covered in a beautiful blanket of white.  Prospect Park looked particularly wonderful.  On Sunday, Danny and I went out for a nice jaunt.  I tried out my new Holga camera, and we froze our toes.  It was cold, and though our shoes were waterproof, well... it was cold.

The afternoon was finished with lattes and a trip to the comics store!

Why is this called Snowy Sandiego?  Because this boss hat makes me feel like I'm Carmen Sandiego.  At least, I end up silhouetting like her.  Where in the world am I?  Where in time am I?

Kitsch Me Up and Urban My Outfitters

Call me a hipster, call me what you like... but I really love Urban Outfitters.  True, they sometimes stock some bizarre things, but they offer delightfully trendy and fairly high-quality clothing for decent prices.  Their sales are fantastic.  And, the bizarre things they stock are just... awesome.  They're awesome.  Urban has some really nifty stuff.

I've gotten some excellent pieces of clothing there, and I plan to get many more in the future.  Beyond clothing though, this place has delightful homewares.  Like the company's higher end/ mori girl shop Anthropologie, there are a lot of home goods at Urban that are really lovely and unique.  Little figurines, pretty shaped candles, cups, plates, etc.  We have a neat plum-coloured, tiered side table from them in our apartment that I got for like $35.

  Unlike Anthropologie, they also stock a lot of sassy and "inappropriate" stuff, like party banners with curse words raunchy sayings, sex books, and well, just other tchotchkes that some might deem inappropriate.  This collection of stuff is always fun to look through, just to see what kinds of wacky things they can sell!  Though, you do find a few artistic gems from time to time that aren't really mainstream enough to sell anywhere else.  They also sell cute and funny kitschy items from old cartoons and such, which are generally fun to look at too!
