Re-Tag

I was just tagged by Bonnie from Glam Kitten's Litter Box to come up with my five current loves and to answer 5 questions about myself -- a few months ago I did an identical post so I thought it would be sort of interesting to see how my answers compare now. So here goes. This was how I last answered:

Five things I love right now:

Wedges (I'm amassing quite the collection)

Sequins (who doesn't love a little sparkle?)

Fluevog Boots (specifically the Griffith Park model. My reigning ambition in life right now is to someday own a pair of these. I know, I aim high)

Leopard Print (in all fairness I always love this, it’s not a new thing)

Cameos (I’m crazy for these lately, they’re just so elegant and classic)

Favorite makeup brand?

I actually have three and I can’t really pick a favorite because I get so many products from Avon, Almay, and MAC – I really like the quality of all these lines and they’re cruelty free (which is a priority for me).

Favorite clothing brand?

H&M, with Zara a really close second

Indispensable makeup product?

Wow, this is a tough one – I think I’ll have to go with Almay mascara, I always always always have it on hand and I never leave the house without a quick application

What country would like to visit and why?

I’m an English historian and so any chance I get to travel to England I jump on but two years ago I spent a week in Scotland and I fell in love. It’s my number one vacation destination and I have a secret (okay, it’s not secret anymore) desire to one day live there – the chilly northern climate, rocky landscape, incredibly rich history, and grey stone castles are just my ideal of scenic beauty. Plus I’m a huge bagpipes fan (seriously, I have an album by the Gordon Highlanders on my IPod. Scary, no?).

What is the last concert you've been to?

I’ve been to a few gigs at local Connecticut music spots like The Space and Café Nine in the last few months and on my recent trip to Canada I saw a friend’s band play but the show I want to mention here was seeing my awesome friend’s band This Is A Standoff perform in London and Brighton this past August. They are an amazingly talented Canadian punk band and just happened to be on a European tour while I was living in England this summer.


So what's different now? Well, actually, not that much. I'm still loving all the same things, although I think I would now add a classic camel trench and my orca hat to the things I love list.

Likewise, all my favorite brands are still my favorites, so there's not much new their either, and I still dream of returning to Scotland. The last show I went to has also changed - about a month ago I saw a band called Murdervan play in Branford, CT. So it's actually been kind of a boring few months. What I am looking forward to is seeing the amazing Canadian indie band Rural Alberta Advantage play in about a month at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. That I'm seriously psyched for.
