Today my editor made me realize something; I need to chill the heck out (not her exact words, but my interpretation). Determined to finish whatever I was working on, I ignored my grumbling stomach. It was approaching 1 and while everyone left their desk chairs to go eat, I didn't. Not smart on my part. However, once it turned 1, she made sure I had food in my bellay. She's so darling :).
I sometimes wonder why I submerge myself into my work and forget about the world. I do it during the school year too--neglecting my friends because I have to study or start a project... a month ahead of time? Something about mixing work and play is something I never grasped as a child. I once had a conversation with my best friend about this topic and she reminded me about an incident that happened in 5th grade. She asked, "You want to come over and watch a movie?" My response, "Uh, why? It's Friday. I have to do homework!" 9 years later, I can't help but chuckle at that incident. Nevertheless, amongst other things, I'm learning the importance of fun.
So if I didn't escape out of the office for a little bit, I would have missed the oh-so delicious cupcakes from Crumbs Bake Shop downstairs in the cafeteria. I think I found my new cupcake love affair. Sorry Billy's Bakery, their cupcakes actually stay intact. I think I devoured that cupcake in a matter of seconds. Hoping no one saw me shove it down my throat, I looked over my shoulder and unfortunately saw a co-worker... looking right at me. I hope I didn't have any icing on my face, heh.
My sudden cupcake obsession has got me scoping out all the cupcake shops in Manhattan. After I visit Crumbs Bake Shop, my next stop is sugar Sweet sunshine. I think CosmoGIRL! was on to something about cupcakes being this season’s latest accessory. Do you agree?

Cupcakes are the perfect accessory for always...actually they're the worst accessory ever because I always eat them too quick and no one gets to see them. I still think the cupcakes you get at the bakery in the basement of Grand Central are the best. They have frosting in the middle of the cupcakes and on top of them...mmmmm!
ReplyDeleteyour orange top looks like somethin from Lanvin !! ruffles are still good !!
ReplyDeleteI love love love Sugar Sweet Sunshine (I even have a t-shirt, lame right?)! My Godmother lives across the street from the shop and gets a cupcake at least once a week!
ReplyDeleteHi secretista-I adore this outfit, the top is soo lovely!! Cupcakes, a dangerous obsession-haha!!
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why would you show me a picture of a big, yummy cupcake when I am trying to lose a couple of extra pounds!? Argh!
ReplyDeleteThat colour looks hip on u! Love the ruffles that drop from the neckline!
ReplyDeleteI so want to have a photoshoot with you...we should do something, up for it????
ReplyDeleteI also tend to work hard and ignore the whole world around me when I'm very into my work. I hardly hang out with friends, which they sometimes get mad about, but hey I love what I do!
ReplyDeleteAnd cupcakes is a great accessory and I don't think it's just this season, it's an item that won't go old!
Pretty blouse and the cupcake looks delicious. Everyone seems so enamored with cupcakes at the moment and they are nary to be found at my cafeteria!
ReplyDeleteAnd, ha-ha at your comment! It is such a suggestive shot in my mind, I just wanted to show the skirt though! Why do my poses end up looking pin-up-y when I don't even try...?
I love a good cupcake - Hummingbird and Cookie Girl do amazing cakes in London. I LOVE these pictures of you, you look so pretty, free and fun. xfrancis.
ReplyDeleteCUPCAKES! cupcakes are classic, they never go out of style and i'm really craving one now. unfortunately we don't have any cupcake shops here... i think i'm gonna cry.
ReplyDeletewell, i think your editor is really nice too! and i agree: chill, girl! you don't need to have your project a month in advance! well, i'm probably the opposite of you: i do everything last minute, and i never do and never did homework, only if we have to hand it in, and i only study before exams, so i'm probably not the best of examples ^^
I love cupcakes! As for cupcakes as accessories:
ReplyDeleteTiffany cupcake charm: http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=23019493&mcat=148204&cid=287463&search_params=s+5-p+1-c+287463-r+-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
I think it's quite adorable. :)

ReplyDeleteLove cupckaes! Try Buttercup Bakery on the upper east side. They are tres magnifique!

ReplyDeleteAhhh! Tasty cupcake torture!! Damn, it seems like everyone is eating cupcakes! If they went out of style last season (I don't even know if that's possible), they're definitely back now!
ReplyDeleteI love your orange top! It's so pretty and fun!
Thanks for your sweet comment my dear! I tagged you so check out my blog for details :) Enjoy the rest of your day.
don't worry dear, I have to tell myself the same thing all the time. I get so wound up with everything i'm doing and am always so busy. That sometimes I just need to take a step back and chill (or eat cupcakes:) )

Mmm this cake! I love sweets.
ReplyDeleteYour blouse is so pretty, I like its shape and colour. And the best thing is that you're smiling and seems to be really happy on every picture:)
that top is amazing! the color is perfection.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, dear! I was like that... maybe we concentrated too much, we need a bit relaxation! The cake is yummy, but not as yummy as your orange top! It looks divine! I love it - the ruffles, the collour and the cut! Everything is so fab!
ReplyDeletethis blouse is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeletea kiss!!
Love the orange top!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, when i get caught up I can't stop and I ignore common sense and everything around me!
