Skate in Chic

Jayne Min

This is not how I remember skateboarding, she does look good though. Designers are going street in a new way by creating skateboards and longboards. I'm pretty sure that falling is much prettier when riding on one of these. Don't you think? It's like when you have to deliver not so positive news...it's always better to do it looking somewhat cute. Trust me, it works. This is a major DIY project. Hmm...

Jill Sander - Paper or Plastic

What's men's fashion without a solid paper bag? Nothing if you ask Jill Sander. As the fashion house unveiled their 2012-13 autumn/winter collection and this 100% coated paper bag, one couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgic as this "bag" reminds me of your everyday restaurant to-go bag. I wonder what a paper-cut a'la Jill Sander feels like. This little bad boy goes for a cool £185. Hmm? Probably not.

Hello: Good Night

It's 1.21am as I'm writing this on my iPhone. I thought I would write a little blurb as I'm about to fall asleep...so blurb:)

See you beautiful people tomorrow...

Today: Deadlines

This is how I feel right now. I am the ghost with the machete looking ax-thing. Every job I ever worked was always extremely deadline oriented, so I have super low tolerance when people can't/won't stick to promised deadlines. It exhausts me when I have to chase people to finish projects. Who does that you ask. I could name 2 people right now! I need prayers as we speak so I don't go "beast" on a certain someone.

I've called Ruth 45,000 times to ask her to pray for me. She's probably just saying that she is. Hmm, what I would give to read her mind right now. I digress...but seriously, I need help.

Ps. I want my mommy! 

Only in America:)

I love this country for many reasons. The opportunities, the passion, the humor, the drama, the nonsense, the creativity, New York, a lot of reasons...aaand the fact that America is the only place where you will find a polished/bedazzled fire hydrant. I almost stepped out of the car to investigate. This bad boy was better polished than most peoples teeth. Seriously, it's cleaner than some peoples bathrooms. You may think I'm insane for even noticing this, but there was no way of not noticing it. It almost blinded me. If you look carefully you actually see how the sun reflects on the shinyness of the fire hydrant. I believe this may have been done intentionally.

Let's just Skin It!

I am known to always mind my business:) (I love myself). So there I was at Starbucks, writing as usual when I notice this MAC sitting across from me...pretty cool. It's a sticker that you can design with whatever you like and on your computer it goes. The company that creates these (non MAC damaging) stickers is a branding company out of California called Skinit.com, they call themselves "the leaders of on-demand personalization technology". When you get sick of it, just peel it off and voila! I like. I should create a Shukorina one...genius:)

Now go to http://www.skinit.com/ and check it out.

Proud to announce that a Beer was named after ME

You know you've made it when they start naming random beers after you. Obviously they spelled it wrong but nonetheless there it is in print. I don't drink beer, never even tried it...but this is very exciting:)

STICKY STYLE!!!

Since the beginning of my existence I have been obsessed with paper. I will never be one of those people who only take notes with their smart phones or keep an online calendar! NEVER! I just love taking actual notes and crossing things out...and so on. One of the best things that were ever invented was the sticky notes/post-its and the yellow marker...and even better; the yellow marker with the mini post-its coming out of them. Brilliant!!! I think I almost drooled first time I stumbled upon them at Staples (which is one of my fave stores) sick, I know!

Look what my copies of this issue of ELLE and ELLE Decor looks like. I got carried away and they were great:) It's better than Sineet's magazines...she's a page folder brrrrrr, she can deny it all she wants but I've seen her.

FINDERS KEEPERS...MY MAGAZINE!

Back at Octane Coffee shop. I'm just waiting for them to name a wall or a table after me, as I come here religiously almost every single day (when I'm in town). There's something inspiring and simple about this place that speaks to me. Anyway...enough with the mushyness. So I walk in to Octane and there were only three tables available and I randomly picked the one in the middle, furthest away. As I was getting settled in...I spot this little bundle of deliciousness on one of the chairs. Weddings Unveiled Magazine. Could this be a sign that I should go and spend the equivalent amount of what it would take to plan a major wedding? I don't know, it could be. I did what any curious fashion loving magazine collector would do....I looked around and slowly put that bad boy in my purse and pretended as if nothing happened. What can I say; my inner bank robber got the best of moi.

I'm not a thief, just a lucky initiative taker.

Super excited about reading every single page!   

BUMISH, MOI???

I will not post a pic of my outfit today...I am looking atrocious. Not just saying that. It started this morning when I woke up in stroke mode, remembering that I forgot to do something. In true warrior spirit I flew out of the bed and got ready in something that felt like 7 nanoseconds, I kid you not! I NEVER FORGET STUFF! What is going on with me? I got everything done though...and all is well in Shukorina Land:)

Sooo...my outfit consisted of navy blue Marc Jacobs flip flops, baggy Adidas sweat pants (oh, yes I did), a bright blue tank top, gold aviator RayBans (I'm sorry for disrespecting you), and my brown ¨I love Vintage¨ bag. No shame in my game...what kills me is that I was on the phone with my girlfriend from Sweden telling her that she should be locked up for an outfit she was wearing. I think I need a nap.

Dr. Samuel Chand

Today Dr. Sam Chand spoke at our church. This is the second time I've heard him speak and can honestly say that he is the most uplifting and insightful person I've ever come across. Just thought I'd let you know:)

Dear Journal...

These notebooks are from European organizing God's ORDNING & REDA. The colors are delicious, and they are a great alternative to your average/boring notebook collection (you know you have one). Since they're not too big you don't have to tote around a gigantic handbag a'la suitcase to fit what could possibly be storing a brilliant idea! I'm amazed of how much joy it brings me to just stare at these books. Despite the fact that I love taking notes and writing down ideas and inspirations, I have not kept a journal since the mid-90's. I'm thinking it's my mother's fault and the fact that she couldn't keep her paws off my diary. 

I'm not mad...just saying!

Question for you guys!!!

Is it insane to do anything on Craigslist, as far as posts or ads or anything of that nature, being fully aware of the CraigsList killer???
