Ohh Angela & Fashion ~~

It's amazing how I don't know anything about fashion and shopping. I was watching Sex and the City the movie again the other day and I was amazed yet again how someone can buy a pair of Manolo Blanicks (spell check because I have no clue) - for $400 a pair? That's amazing to me - maybe and probably because I don't have money ... My most expensive pair of shoes are $100 and it took me a long time to bring myself to buy them.

Its true, I have no idea about fashion. I don't particularly like to shop because I'd rather spend money on eating and drinking than owning clothes (although my view on this is changing just a tiny little bit, eh JO?). I guess I don't really like the crowds and waiting in line and oh the pressure of finding something. I usually go to the store because I need something. I like to go in, get it and get out. Some people find shopping very relaxing and calming. For me however, the pressure to find something always makes me a little bit edgy and then if I don't find anything, I always feel like I just wasted a whole bunch of time walking around trying to find something.

In any case, Vogue seems to be Carrie's favorite magazine. I could never get myself to read that thing - or rather look at it. The fashion magazines have these crazy clothes pictured in them. Things I could never ever ever wear and costing something much much more than I could ever afford. Designer labels - yes ... labels I don't really know about.

I don't own a pair of designer anything. I don't even have a nice bag/purse thing. I tend to carry around cheap cheap bags - like my white one that I bought in Korea for $5. It's like a little kid's bag. Haha! Maybe its the combination of not having a sense of style, not having any money, and not really caring ... hum. Is it good or bad?

Anyway, started a new book while I was in Sacramento for the weekend: The Historian. It's on my bookshelf on your bottom right corner. I got a lot of R&R while I was sick there and about 80% better! :)
