A New Boy

So the newest update on my life is that I am dating a new guy. And guess what? He is Persian!!! It has been a year and a half since I dated a Persian guy and about 2 or so years since I was in a relationship with one. I had pretty much given up on the idea of having a Persian boyfriend since they are, for the most part, close-minded assholes. But this one seems great! He is TALL, SO CUTE, and really real. He was born here but lived in Iran for a long LONG time so he even refers to himself as a F.O.B. but really his english is pretty good. And he has made my farsi so much better already.

One negative thing about him is that he isn't really into school or anything and I am very education-oriented you could say. School always comes first for me. But I am trying not to even think about my future with him and how our names would look together on a wedding invitation. I just want to have fun and if it goes anywhere serious, i'll address the problem then. He asked me out officially yesterday, and it was SO cute because he got so awkward. We've pretty much been kicking it for 2 weeks straight though. Oh yeah, and he is an awesome kisser! He always pays for me wherever we go, which I appreciate but don't find necessary really. It just shows he's a gentleman though and has his cultural values. Also, he is really really protective and I have to admit, it turns me on.

I guess we shall see where this goes...I am just glad to have something else on my mind besides school and the other stressors of life. The beginning of a relationship and what I like to call the "honeymoon phase" are some of the best moments you create with someone and I am just so excited!! YAY :)

Bleh

Bleh. my life is just bleh. But the good thing is, I went shopping over this winter break. And I have been so SO desperate to shop. When you haven't shopped for 6 months AND your a female, you will know what it feels like. Also, another good thing is that I still have to go dress shopping for an arab girlfriends engagement party. It'll be a fabulous, fancy cocktail dress, I'm sure. Funny how her and all her friends got engaged/married all of a sudden. It was a domino effect, literally. And us Persian girls are still living it up at the parties, the clubs, the lounges, the sushi restaurants...

Our new years eve party was fantastic with a smidgen of Paris Hilton/Britney Spears slutyness; a.k.a. some vagina's were revealed on the dance floor that nobody wanted to see, that I didn't even get to see because I was running around playing hostess/drunk girl having fun mingling and dancing (not with the vagina's, thank God).

Ah, but here are my newest finds in no particular order:



This is a wife-beater grey ombre tank with a zebra graphic image on it.



A basic black, long-sleeved shirt that I didn't have.





A black halter tank with star and circle shaped studs at the top. I figured black and studs were very NOW so I bought it.





A floral tank with buttons in the front. Very springish, can't wait to wear it!



A red top that looks very different when wearing it, I thought it was a cute spin on a basic red top.



A leopard print pullover hoodie.



A navy-blue, knitted, cropped wrap with gold buttons (very sailor-type)





A sundress with leaf and flower patterns and a ruffled bottom, also perfect for spring. The color palette also makes it appropriate for fall and winter as well.



A brown ombre over-sized cardigan.



My long awaited boyfriend blazer!



An oversized, black and white top top with netting at the very top, along with studs and beads in the middle.



A long, kimono-type cardigan.





A blue, beaded and studs silk halter tank with the backside.
