Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

Icecream from here.

As Voltaire said, ice cream should be illegal.

I would make cupcakes illegal also.

He also said:

"I've decided to be happy because it is good for my health."

I like that one more.

I can resist everything but temptation!

Ok, so after the last post which was totally, ultimately against cupcakes, guess what I did?

I went straight to Crumbs.

Do you see these two red velvet cupcakes tanning on the deck?

One belongs to me.

Well, it's gone now.

Bon Appetit!

Hello, cupcakes!!

Another Polyvore set from my Polyvore secret designer.

Dear Cupcakes

Fact:

A Crumbs cupcake has around 500 calories. You eat it in about 5 minutes.

Fact:

In order to burn 500 calories, you need to work out for at least one hour.

Cupcakes, I love you, but I am tired trying to find excuses for your existence.

Yed, Red Velvet Crumbs Cupcake, I am talking to you.

Maybe I should just switch to a Carrot Cupcake. I mean, what's healthier out there than carrots.

"The online nutrition database MyFitnessPal notes that one carrot cupcake contains 410

calories. If you base your diet on the suggested intake of 2,000 calories per day, then one

 cupcake comprises more than 20 percent of your daily calories. According to the Mayo

Clinic, it would take nearly two hours of weightlifting to burn these calories."-- from

Two hours of weightlifting?

Right, count me in.

James Perse Malibu

James Perse Malibu. I took this picture while shopping for cupcakes next door.

Check out my old Maxfield story, and don't forget that James Perse is the son of the Maxfield's owner, Tommy Perse. Even their stores look like father and son.

I hope James Perse won’t sue me for this one. No, James Perse t-shirts do not actually talk, except on this blog. This is the place where clothes have a voice, and stand up for themselves.

Welcome to my closet, plain white James Perse t-shirt that costs $50. All my other plain tshirts feel already intimidated, but this day had had to come. I mean, how many times can you enter a store without buying something?

All the plain tshirts in my closet are wondering. What does he have that we don’t? We are all plain cotton tshirts, why is James Perse tshirt so expensive. So, they decided to do a revolt against the James Perse tshirt.

A plain H&M tshirt was the leader:

“We don’t see the difference between us and this James Perse t-shirt. We don’t want to be worn anymore… I suppose it will last 10 times more than we do, because it’s so expensive.”

“Common, T-shirts. It’s not that I bought this Balmain t-shirt. Be friendly.”

But they wouldn’t listen and they decided to strike.

Which is fine. I really like wearing tshirts with jeans, so I didn’t have any other option than wearing the James Perse tshirt over and over again. The result? It broke like any other tshirt, got old pretty quickly after a few washes and I decided to make it a sleeping tshirt.

Lucky me, the regular tshirts decided to end the strike and accepted to be worn again.

The lesson: sometimes we can live without designer labels. When the label is more important than the actual item, we need to think twice about the reason behind our purchase.

Dylan George Jeans against Cupcakes

To fit into a pair of 24 jeans is a dream come true. It means a lot of things: that the daily power walks when you would rather be sleeping are actually working, that drinking more than two liters of water a day actually gives results. 

Also, that restricting yourself to one Crumbs Red Velvet Cupcake a week is actually a good idea

Ok, this pair is a sample so it might be something wrong with the sizing, but it’s ok. It might be my first and last pair of 24s, ever, but thanks Dylan George ( amazing Los Angeles jeans) for messing up your samples and making my day a little bit better.
