I never made it to the Missoni sale at Target. But I did see a few items online. I mean I guess. Now that Jason Wu will have a line. According to WWD, the line will start next year Feb 5-Mar 6, and feature an array of handbags and apparel pieces. I am hoping that by then I can make it to at least view the collection in person.

I love mags
If the sight of mags give you life then I am not alone. I think I have been a mag addict since I was about 10 or 11. Before that I used to read my nana's Star mags, remember when they looked like newspaper. LOL. My first mag was Teen People, mainly because I love BSB sooooo much and they were always in there. From there on I continued purchasing every mag you can name at least once. I used to have at least 1000 mags. Some in bags under my bed, some in suit cases, on shelves, in dresser drawers. Everywhere. Then our basement flooded and that was it for my mags. It was also one of the most depressing moment of my life ever. I had spent thousands of dollars on my budding collection and it just got washed away. It took me a lonnnng time to purchase a mag again. It was like I was traumatized or something. Now I get at least 8 mags in the mail. And once in a while I go crazy at Around the World in NYC when I have money. I guess I just love to read.

Unemployed College Grad p.2: the encounter
The inevitable question of "so what have you been up to or where do you work". This question may seem to be a normal question to the employed, but to the unemployed or anyone isn't doing much with their lives this is the most dreaded question. It is like when you break up with your bf/gf after years of dating and you would hate to run into ppl and explain why you broke up; over and over again. This has happened to many very many times before last week. Before I could say I was in school, or figuring out what I am going to do. This time I was totally stuck. This person was my ex-manager of a job I quit a year ago. I have since had 2 jobs. Why when things are going amazing in your life no one is really around to hear you brag. I wasn't necessarily embarrassed, more like forgetful. Meaning I kinda forgot I was unemployed therefore sort this person out to speak to first before they even saw me. Instead I should have just kept it moving. Freezing when the time came.
Here is the short convo :
Me: OMG it is great to see you (insert hug).
Ex-Manager: I know it has been a while right.
(insert awkward pause)
Ex-Manager: So where you working now?
Me: (insert slightly embaressed face) Nowhere.
Before the words were ever thought of in my head that is what came out. NOWHERE. WTHeck was I thinking to say that. Then came that face of sadness for me. #sarcastic yay! Trying to make myself feel a little bit better about my situation I just said I may go back to school (which is true, when, IDKyet).
The point is how do you handle this crazy question in person. Ya see on FB, email, other social media stuff you can stall or pretend you didn't see the message beforehand. Or just lie. But in person it has to be something you can say. Something non-rude, condescending, or hurtful to the other party. Something that will make you look good and not like a failure. It also has to be something that doesn't come with open ended questions. Once I find one, I'll def share with you all.
Hope you enjoyed this post. Tell me if you have been there before.
With Love,

Unemployed College Grad p.1: Introduction
I have been contemplating on whether or not to make some posts about this on here or pynkstarr.com. Reason being is because I usually post things about my life on that site. But since this is a life and home site why not. The title basically speaks for itself. I graduated from college a year ago, and have yet to find the place that is supposed to be my long time job.
