Good-bye, ridiculous Saturn. Hello...

Finally. I can put my hair up without worrying if I will fit in my car. (seriously.)

Things I'm currently into:

Emily Martin AKA theblackapple on etsy. Loving her work, best of all this one, "Little Enid". I also really like "Scarf for two" and "Bess the carnival girl". Good stuff.Coconut sorbetto from Ciao Bella. Best stuff on earth. If you're here in K-zoo, pick some up @ Sawall. In GR, try Art of the Table. Totally worth the $5 a pint. Lemme tell ya, this stuff is heaven. My opening night of Cosi, I definitely I ate a whole pint. By myself. In less than an hour. Dangerous.
(Not into coconut? Try the blood orange. Yum.)
This one is for Justine. Nothing more to say. Oh, and for the record, MacLaren has Kate Spade, Lulu Guinness and Burberry on this season's payroll as well...

Glasses, dresses, and an apology... in reverse order.

It's official. I'm a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad blogger. Cosi pretty much took over my life for a few weeks, and in typical Dorabella style, I lost control, drank far too many lattes and did no homework, returned no emails, and yes, neglected my blog. But hey, you should have seen it coming with that post about going bento for lunch AND dinner. When Russian class ends at 5:40 and you need to be in for hair and make-up at 6...

Plus, I was house-sitting and didn't have an internet connection.

Anyway, done with that preface. I am BACK. And on spring break (I know, disgusting, isn't it? It's so snowy, icy, and gross here. Boo, midwest. Boo.), but not doing anything exciting but grad school hunting (which is kind of exciting, but I think it'll get old fast). And trying to find a dress for the concerto winners performance. Speaking of which, what do you think of this one (the black one, not the blue)??

It looks incredible on-- I love it. I'm just worried about looking to prom-y. Of course, I don't want to look matronly, either. Or pregnant, as empire-waisted styles tend to lend themselves to...

I'm just having the hardest time. I think I need to shop with friends, I'm my own worst enemy when dress shopping. I just can't make decisions.

Also, I'm getting new glasses tomorrow. What about these?

Too "Ugly Betty"? I mean, it's not like I wear them all that often anyway...
And don't try to convince me to go with the wire frames. I did that last year, and I never wear them. I only ever wear these:But I think my eyes are getting worse, and I need a new prescription...
