I've been a terrible blogger as of late...
S has had the flu, he was getting bettter then got hit with a fever for 3 days. So, I've been busyignoring him playing nurse chef/errand runner/babysitter...ever notice when grown men get the flu, they suddenly act like babies? He says he can't help it. That's okay, I love him, big baby and all.
Though last night, S seemed to feel a ton better. And suddenly decided he needed to buy a MacBook Pro. That very night. So he called up his friend C who qualified for an "educational discount". We all headed to the Apple store and C showed his student card to get the discount. When the total was rung up and the rep expected C to pay, C turned to the rep, motioned at S and said, "My uncle will be paying for it".

My Uncle???
Did I mention C is Chinese.
And S isn't even Asian.
Never mind that there's only a 6yr age gap between them.
And here I thought I was a terrible liar.
Anyhoots, we left the store. S giddy with having a brand newChinese nephew MacBook Pro. Then headed a few stores down to get me a box of Cinnabons. Mmmm...cinnabons. It was the first (and last) time, we left the mall with S' total wayyyy exceeding mine.

I was just too tired to even bother looking - let alone shop. I think my body's been trying to fight off his flu cause I've been super duper tired. These days I just want to stay in my pj's all day. Too tired to even think about what to wear. It's no wonder the last thing I wore was inspired by an after dinner snack...
Skirt with pockets - Penguin, Shoes - Winners, Belt - H&M
Bow Blouse with Gold Pinstripes - Juicy Couture
Blue Snakeskin and Gold Bow Bangle - Rachel Leigh
Black/Gold Bangle Watch and Unicorn Bangle - Vintage/Thrifted
The after dinner snack that thoroughly amused me...
"vacuum sealed corn???", you ask.
wait, it gets better.
it comes with a paper bag...
"uh huh," you say...
it comes with a paper bag...
"uh huh," you say...
but you see, the bag keeps it cozy while in the microwave...
and after a few minutes,
it comes out looking like this...
with a cob left to nibble on...
maybe you've all seen this and I'm years late in this discovery but it amused me nonetheless. "before"
"after"
Hope you're having an amazing week!

ReplyDeleteI love the white and yellow of your outfit! It looks great against your skin tone.
And what?? Corn cob = popcorn? That's awesome!! Definitely more interesting than regular popcorn!

ReplyDeleteLol at Chinese Nephew :)!! Your pictures are beautiful, those bangles have got my interest! They look beautiful! Another enjoyable post, thank you :)
ReplyDeletewhat an adorable outfit =) yellow is my fave!
ReplyDeleteyour blog is too cute, I found you through Leah =)
I adore your outfit esp the blouse. LMAO at the uncle part! XP Well, technically don't we Asians call anyone even slightly older "uncle"? Hahaha...love it! Congrats on the new Macbook Pro. And wow, I have never seen that popcorn before.
ReplyDeleteyes! men cannot handle being sick AT ALL! they carry on like they are dying, seriously. it's sorta funny. how often are we all flu-like and go about every day things but then if it hits them? the world stops. its too much. imagine having like 4 sons or something. hell!
ReplyDeleteumm, that popcorn thing looks amazing. i want. why is all our food things so boringly packaged here in australia?!
Love the entire look! Those shoes are amazing as well! XOXO
ReplyDeletePS. I just realized I wasn't following you! Ahhh! Im so sorry! You've been on my blog roll for a while now too. Anyway- fixed now :) XOXO
ReplyDeleteum, that outfit is super cute. especially the skirt....love the color.
ReplyDeletethat corn thing would certainly keep me entertained.
Ela! oh how've I missed you too my darling :D How've you been? I got soooOOOoo busy with the holiday rush, I had no time to blog! Ahh..Anyway I'll be in touch girl. Looking forward to seeing you in your cute little adorable outfits :D
ReplyDelete♡,
Jessica
The skirt is too adorable for words. Love the colour. :)
ReplyDeleteXx
Cute blouse! And, uh, now I really want on-the-cob popcorn. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh so adorable, I love the mustard colored skirt and the audrey hepburn vibes!! Oh And I totally want on the cob popcorn too:P
ReplyDeleteReally cute skirt- I can see it being really versatile with the blouse or even a funky t-shirt! And OMG, as a huge popcorn eater, I love the corn on the cob- where did you get it? xo, mel
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that the most outrageous fabrications we tell are always the most fabulous? Congratulations on the new nephew, Mac Pro, and, most importantly, Cinnabons. By the way, I need your bracelets/bangles - I can hear them calling my name!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I'm seeing that corn cob which goes to popcorn!!! That's amazing! Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteI am dying.... S was excited to have a new Chinese nephew... err Macbook Pro. Ha ha ha ha!!! I would have loved to seen that in person!
ReplyDelete1. that is the cutest outfit and the balance of the bows against the shoes is a perfect counterbalancing study.
ReplyDelete2. I wore an outfit with bows this week and I am so all about them right now. I have no idea why.
3. S isn't Asian? He is a funny one. And why did he choose to buy a laptop just NOW? That is weird.
But then again, I get shoe cravings for no reason.
4. I'm sorry you're feeling sick. I get sick all the time, but that's because my immune system sucks. A mouse has a better immune system than I.
5. IRYC (on Maeko.org): We totally do need to have that coffee/tea/hot cocoa one day. I think we'd have a bunch to talk about.
6. Isn't it weird how we can be at our computers doing nothing significantly taxing, and yet we are exhausted beyond measure at the end of the day? It's the strangest thing. But I firmly believe that if the mind is taxed, it will condition your body into feeling tired. Kind of like the Matrix. You die in the Matrix, you die in real life. :)
I want to go shopping in real life with you one day. I bet TO has GREAT vintage. Detroit has the vintage value of a garbage truck.

OMG could I be laughing any harder????? LOL chinese nephew!!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry S has been sick but so sweet of you to nurse him back to health! I love love your sweet yellow dress and that dinner looks yummy! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeletei love this outfit on you Ela! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that popcorn thing, so funny!
Cute look- love the Juicy top :)
ReplyDeleteHope S is feeling better- esp now with his new laptop!
Thanks for the well wishes... I hope to be back at it soon! Have a good weekend, Ela!
Love your outfit, especially the skirt! Oh men and the flu (or any other illness) are a horrible combination. My hubby has started calling it the 'manflu', because it's in a league of its own.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, the MacBook Pro story is hilarious. Then agian, I'd probably do the same, but I'd think of a better excuse (say, half-brother maybe?). Never seen the corn thing before... I"d be fascinated too!
P.S. Just realized I never answered your blog-question re: not drinking alcohol. We don't have any problems in Paris, but then again, the hubby's a runner so he uses that as an excuse. Few people ever really question it though, or not more than others. I think restaurants would prefer you to drink their wine because it's their biggest source of income. I find it more of an issue at parties or events when you're 'expected' to be running around with a cocktail glass.
um, totally obsessed with this outfit. obsessed.
