The Cheg Diaries - Cup #2

Second cup of Eggnog Chai of the season!

I was kinda losing energy when I walked in and the young lad behind the counter got my 'I have a difficult drink disclaimer.' He kept smiling at me - or laughing at how weird my order sounded.

There was a cute scene guy talking at the drink pick up counter to the pretty young baristas making the drinks. They were all friends and in college. Wish I was back in college.

I listened to old school My Chemical Romance and Senses Fail driving today. It made me want to drunk text later that night this one guy who I still want to know why he never official asked me out. Fool. I really liked him.

City trip was in store and my friend and I split a bottle of wine. We got crepes after a delicious dinner.

Going to NYC again tomorrow, but not before celebrating my neice's birthday!

The Cheg Diaries - Cup #1

I walked into Starbucks wanting a pumpkin spice latte and I look up at the board and see...the Holiday Drinks are here!

Eggnog Chai it was!

I commented I had a difficult drink, but now that I have it under control, it was easy to recite. The lady at the register had no problem. Then the barista at the bar looks over and was like 'So you're who orders this,' as if I am the only one who does. She had been wondering exactly what the 'Cheg' button on the register was for. I was happy to clear that up.

Bought November 3, 2011 and it was yummy.

I also finalized t-shirt designs with my photographer and printer. We are also working on new designs to sell in December (event to be confirmed)

The Cheg Diaries...Intro

But what's with this title? With the holiday season approaching, Starbucks has their Eggnog back in stock! So happy! And you mark the cup 'Cheg' for this drink.

My one friend/co-worker turned me on to drinking eggnog chais - it's like a spice cookie. But having worked for this company for over 2 years, I had become very particular about how it was to be made. (btw, I was fired for my pink hair when new management stepped in. Bastards)

So I forsee ordering many of these to come and decided to do a 'Cheg Diary.' So whenever I buy one, I'll photo it and write a little about ordering it and thoughts of the day.

OK, so now I have two entries to write up. Hope y'all don't think I'm crazy.

Black & Gold

Here's the full set from the photoshoot I was a part of a bit ago. The images came out amazing and shows off pieces from my last collection SO perfectly. We shot in so many cool locations and looking back, the fact that it was an insanely long day and that's when my back was first hurting badly...it was all worth it.

Just love. The photos speak for themselves.

I think that title is appropriate to describe all the following photos.

To die for!

I sent out pieces from the last collection I did to the lovely Allison Mindy. She had a shoot planned and what happened next? My email was full of these stunning photos.

Allison had shot with Gas Oven, a favorite photographer of mine, and here's the magic that ensued between them....

Sound Familiar?

(going to try really hard to blog a lot more frequently)

I'm one of those people who hears a song and always thinks it sounds like another. So here are two new songs that I can't stop signing another when I hear it.

Cobra Starship w/Sabi "You Make Me Feel" vs. ATC "All Around the World"






Then...

David Guetta ft/Flo Rida & Nicki Minaj "Where Them Girls At?"

Tell me Nicki at 1:44 doesn't sound like the Hamster Dance?

Sneaker Collector

So, beginning of this summer my back decides to betray and I am basically unable to walk or go about my normal day. Things are so much better and it's sad to hear other stories from friends and my doctor how back problems are so common and there's a lot of people like me out there.

So for the summer, I am basically sworn to a life of wearing no heels. This may have to be broken for birthday festivities, but that's still up for debate.

This leaves me few options because I also have to be able to put an insole in my shoes and most flats I either step out of with it in or you can't get away wearing those strapy or open toe flats with an insole in the shoe.

I do live in my Converses, but when I'm told I can only wear one type of shoe, I start to realize how I really do live in my Cons and want to shake things up.

When they first hit stores, I picked up the sneaker creepers from the Jesse Jo line for Vans. I got the all black, but do wish I got the white & black ones.



Now, I caught wind of the next Vans collab collection for the fall. Do I really have to wait like three months for these?! Hellz Bellz' second collab with Vans are producing this glorious sneaker creepers and I must have them.

I'm starting to think I'm developing a sneaker fetish. Any other different/cute sneakers out there I should pick up?



(nitrolicious.com & audrey.buzznet.com for introducing me to these)

I think my sneaker fetish started with my desire to get every color of Vans' checkered classic flats. Or maybe with my purchase of my glorious T.U.K. sneaker creepers with Sid Vicious on them.
