Minus the fixed gear bike, facial hair, and tattoos, I've pretty much fit into all these categories at some point or another. Eff my life.

Baghagging
The most expensive thing I own (besides my car) is not my awesome tv, or the furniture in my room, or even a piece of jewelry. It's a bag. Priorities, right?
Every year I freak out and obsess over a particular bag, and I'll spend days, if not WEEKS, stalking it online and in stores, until I either eventually get over it (sometimes, but rare), or I bite the bullet and MAKE IT MINE. I've supposedly already gotten my 2 bags for the year (a personal limit that I felt was necessary unless I wanted to be living in a box with a bunch of expensive bags to keep me warm)...but, of course, an addiction is an addiction and I have more that I'm now coveting. End my life.
HOWEVER.
I've been putting a lot of thought into my New Year's Resolution: 2010 Edition, and I think that I am going to try and streamline my material possessions and work toward the PERFECT WARDROBE. This does not mean a closet that looks like an explosion of clothing, but rather, an edited down and well-thought-out collection. A wardrobe that, at any point in time, has all the essential elements for making a great outfit for any occasion. A wardrobe that I am proud of and that eliminates my so-called "need" to shop and buy new things...including my greatest weakness: bags. I am determined to have a well-rounded wardrobe and save some money while I'm at it!
More planning needs to be done, but that's the tentative idea for now.
GOOD LUCK TO ME.

Saved this from someone's tumblr and obviously had to share. Wate-on!
I always knew my body was meant for another decade.

Liu Wen for VS
Isn't she ADORABLE? Wasn't it a shame that she was only featured once, and at the very beginning, of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show? Don't you LOVE HER?
First east Asian to walk for the VSFS FTW.

Mulberry for Apple
So on Tuesday, the Mulberry for Apple products were launched, and crazy people everywhere (most notably: my room) went nuts trying to scrounge together funds and justify paying a cool grand for A LAPTOP BAG.
What really irks me, though, is the fact that on the UK Apple website, they have another option that is not available to those of us in the U.S. - the iconic OAK leather Bayswater!!! As in, the one that Alexa Chung (aka another one of my favie IT girls) carries around all the time...
Uhhh...what is Pixie Geldof doing in that picture? Whatever. LOOK AT ALEXA'S BAG! Then take some time to admire Alexa, herself. Can we say, girl crush? Except...for...her voice. Her voice throws me off every time I hear it.
And, I'm sorry, but I found this picture while google searching more photographic evidence that Alexa is an avid Mulberry Bayswater fan, and even though it's unflattering for her, I had to post it. I mean, it's not like I'm the only person who knows how to search images on google, so it's not like I'm totally throwing her under the bus...or whatever...
There is a DRASTIC DIFFERENCE between the left picture and the right picture. When did she look like this (on the right)?! Does this mean that she lost a bunch of weight before becoming the lanky and leggy fashion maven she is today?! Does this mean that I HAVE HOPE?!!!
Wait, what was the point of this post? Oh, right. I wish I could afford the Oak version of the Mulberry bag for Apple, and I also wish that the Oak version was available to me - but since I CAN'T afford the bag at all, then I guess it's a blessing in disguise that I can't get my hands on one.
It's almost 3AM, I need to calm down and go to bed.

I Want to Go to There
And by "go," I mean, "live." And by "to there," I mean, "one of my many future homes."
