Fall is definitely my favorite season. The things I look forward to the most are:

- the changing leaves
- the layers (the fashionista in me)
- the smell of firewood
- hot drinks (ie, hot chocolate, tea, coffee...)

Here's a recent pic of my street in Brooklyn... Trust me, there are tons more leaves on the ground since I've taken this photo, lol

Ahhhh, Jamie, you know me oh-so well :)

Why am I just now seeing this thread??! I am OBSESSED w/fashion! Sadly, since entering grad school my intake of clothes & magazines has decreased...

BUT, I did just splurge on a new pair of steve madden stilettos that I am in ♥ with!

To be honest, It's taken all of my might not to wear these babies to sleep!! ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Anastasia]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/179411-600-members Anastasia made a comment in the College Students! group:

I love Charles Bukowski.

There's something about the raw, realism about his work that amuses me.

I personally write free-form poetry as a way to purge my feelings, and his poems are so opposite from what I write that I think that is the exact reason for why I love him so much.

I don't really read a lot of poetry, but I've been wanting to get into it, mostly as a way to help develop my own skills. I have a feeling, though, that aside from Bukowski the type of poems I would be drawn to would be love sonnets...

What can I say, I'm a closet romantic. Crap. Lol ]]> <![CDATA[Anastasia added 'The Namesake']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76264286 The Namesake (Paperback) by Jhumpa Lahiri
