current obsessions

by Nikki Cornell in , ,


-> my jeffrey campbell thigh high boots
yes with a heel! and thank god they're NOT patent leather! :)

-> words with friends iphone application (scrabble/literati)
*WARNING- this game is highly addictive- i spent hours occupied playing multiple people all saturday so i forced myself to take a chill pill this evening.

-> abbreviations, acronyms, and other fun words
get your point across short and sweet
hugs and kisses simply becomes xoxo
"vamoose" sounds much cooler than "let's go"

-> chromeo!!!
met them at the mezzanine on saturday and hung out with dave 1 backstage :) pissed that i didn't have a camera- AGAIN!

which reminds me things i'm in need of asap...

-> a new point and shoot camera
i hear this casio is great bc it captures your images in slow motion.

-> a manicure/pedicure
my nails are DISGUSTING right now- one of my pet peeves.

-> the new ipod nano
bc i'm so bored with my workout routine, i could use some good music for the motivation

-> a tropical destination
to get away from the cold since i function best when its 75 degrees or warmer :) plus i could use a tan to last me through the winter.


anyhow, i am currently working on listing a bunch of stuff on my store- so thank you for your patience and i've also got a lot of questions about where i got my popeye and flinstone halloween costumes-- i made/styled them myself :)


fall in love

michael stars tank, f21 vest, pants, boots, marc jacobs sunglasses, michael kors watch

this past week has been a bit busy and i've gotten a bunch of new things to wear that i can't wait to sport. the other day i scored big at the salvation army and goodwill. most of the clothes i love are those hard to find-never thought-but glad i kept looking-thrift kinds.. mostly bc there's a story behind it which is part the thrill i enjoy in looking for hidden treasures. don't get me wrong i enjoy luxurious and lavish things every now and then but i love to mix it up with inexpensive things.. which speaking of- i also did well at forever 21 where i got these super cute boots and this faux fur vest that's to die for.

anyhow, i've seen a lot of pumpkins lately but none compare to the ones at the petaluma pumpkin patch. it's pretty neat to see a whole field of pumpkins that cause so much traffic each year on 101. and even if they look the same from the ones at the grocery store or at a parking lot on a cement pavement covered with hay, this is definitely an experience to pick your own pumpkin and enjoy the fall fun.

oh and here's one of my favorite pumpkin carvings.. lol

and thank you again everyone for all the love and emails :) enjoy!

xoxo, nikki

halloween-spiration

i'm popeye the sailor man

eye-eye captain

meet the flintstones

halloween is my absolute favorite holiday.. well so is christmas and valentines day but i love the act of getting dressed up and being creative. last year i was popeye and then the next day i was a different kind of sailor that some like to call a sexier version. then the year before that i was fred flinstone.. and i'm still debating what i should be this year but have one costume i'm trying to put together but we'll see how that works out.. luckily this halloween is a full blown weekend which only makes it that more exciting to have lots of ideas to be! :) can't wait!



oh and last year me and my girlfriend's loved halloween so much we had a monthly costume party thereon after which usually consisted of a magicmic/rockband/karaoke-wine night which guaranteed super fun times!

tango sweater, niki biki leggings, h&m shirt, hk boots, zara pouch

with so much action going on this month and all the festivities to follow, it's no wonder why october is one of my favorite times in the city. with indian summer coming to an end and the cool icy nights that make you feel like christmas is right around the corner, there is everything to fall in love about it right now-- especially the candy.. i love chocolate.
