Speaking of Owls

Oh wait, what? we weren't talking about owls?

Well, we are now.

Go with it.

How cute is this owl?

Forever 21 bitches, Forever 21.

I don't normally shop at Forever 21, I'm more of an H&M/Old Navy kind of girl for trendy clothes/accessories on the cheap.

But I needed an outfit for a Jersey Shore party and I thought to myself, what better place to find skanktastic clothes for a Jersey Shore Party than Forever 21?

Turns out Forever 21 had none of the skanktasticness I was looking for other than some fabulous platform patent leather peep toe stripper shoes, which are awesome by the way.

Instead they had oodles of girly, frilly, flowey, flowery, ruffley things.

And an owl.

Man I wish Eugene/Springfield had an H&M!

Thank god I'm back to big city living in just 3. SHORT. DAYS.

Oh Spring, where for art thou?

I know I said I was enjoying a bit of cold weather and rain before spring arrived, but after too too much nonstop rain I've changed my mind.

I'm ready for Spring.

So ready in fact that I've bought several items for Spring that are unusable in Oregon's current state of wet. And so ready that I'm capitalizing Spring unnecessarily.

Nevertheless in hopefully a few short weeks I will get a chance to use:

Tory (yes my purse has a name, doesn't yours?)

After I cleaned out my purse and discovered WAY too much crap I decided Marc (yes my old purse has a name too!) needed a break...enter Tory, she's beautiful, big and white and perfect for Spring!

These babies are waiting patiently for the rain to subside so they don't get ruined the first moment I step outdoors. I'm imagining them with a pair of fabulous shorts or skinny jeans.

I've been looking for a really good gray nail polish for awhile now and finally found this one at Sephora. It's part of some naughty ballerina set or something, an ode to Black Swan I believe. It's about to become my new spring gray.

Anyone else making spring purchases in anticipation of warmer weather?

Mary Poppins Purse

Has this ever happened to you?

You're digging around in your purse searching for a stamp that you KNOW you just saw in there a few days ago and whilst digging you begin pulling out items one at a time that seemingly couldn't possibly all fit into that purse at once, a la Mary Poppins style and come across several things that lead you to wonder "when did I last clean out my purse?"

So you clean out your purse.

And what do you find but the following list of items:

Wallet

Sunglasses

Mirror

Wide Tooth Comb

My Passport

Those are the normal everyday items, the essentials if you will, then you also have the following which really have no business being in your purse for GOD KNOWS HOW LONG:

Band Aid Friction Stick (very useful in the summer months, but I've been in winter for more than 2 months now)

Receipts in AUD (That's Australian Dollars, again more than 2 months ago)

Ace Bandage Tape (the second I take this out of my purse I will need it for uncomfortable shoe rubbage, but I didn't know it was there so not much use it would have done me had I needed it)

Car Charger (should probably be in the car, no?)

Nurofen w/no Nurofen (ie an empty container of Ibuprofen, very useful)

Money from Singapore (when the hell was I in Singapore?! That was August of 2010! More than 7 months ago!)

Buttons (not from any of my clothes that I recognize)

A Deck of Cards (no idea why...but they are Australian Made, so they must have been in there for at least 2 months as well)

2 sets of headphones (for plane rides, 2 months since I've been on a plane)

Change Purse of AUD coinage

Bobby pins & hair ties galore (yet somehow I can never find either when I'm digging around in there)

2 USB Sticks (with exactly what on them your guess is as good as mine!)

Pack of gum

Condom from old CBGB in NYC (it's a clothing shop now, but they were throwing a concert and had condoms on the counter...so I took one, but that was back in November, 4 months ago)

Free drink tickets for United flights (drinks are free on international flights, but I keep these babies in my purse just in case!)

MyMulti Pass from Sydney

3 Metrocards from NYC

Key Cardfor 60 Thompson (hotel we stayed at our last night in NYC back in May of last year, oh boy that's 10 months ago!)

Unknown Hotel Card

Gift Card for Silk Day Spa in NYC (I wonder how much is on that bad boy)

Business card for a restaurant in Italy that I don't remember going to (and Italy was a year and a half ago, surely I've cleaned my purse out since then?!)

6 Airline Ticket Stubs

Lip Venom

and

THAT GODDAMN STAMP I WAS LOOKING FOR

In short, I have a purse full of crap, anyone else find completely random things while cleaning out their purse?

Tell me the weirdest thing you've pulled out of your purse!
