I still can't believe it's over ... and I'm still in this much denial that I can't cry about it.

Since I'm not getting any younger ... I've decided to set a new goal for myself.

If I'm not a full fledged Editor by 30 ... I'm going to law school!

What's the worst thing someone has done/said to you during a date/relationship?

Chip N Nip

So I bought these boots from Piperlime ....which btw has great service ... and I was in love with them ... until I wore them to work and swore that I was going to cut my pinky toe off from sheer pain. Now, I can't even find these boots on Zappos so that I can write a reveiw. Every other site that allows me to write a review asks me to start a profile ... or tells me I have to have bought something from the site recently in order to review.

Bah!

I'm having massive difficulties balancing being a normal American and being a normal Bengali.

There are all these ideals and goals that I grew up knowing as being the acceptable path that a good Bengali daughter should follow of going to school, getting great grades, getting a high paying job, and marrying someone all before I'm 30.

Then there's this desire to just do what I love best. Let the grades come in, but work in a career that makes me happy to wake up in the morning, and to marry when I am good and ready. Not to worry about how much I'm getting paid as long as I can survive. Not worrying that someone will judge me for the way I dress. Not having to worry about whether or not I get married after a year or two or a decade into a relationship ... or even worrying about how many guys I end up dating before I find the one.

I'm torn between family and my own life.

I can't help feel confused between marrying for security or for love.

I can't decide if it's better to be rich but unhappy or doing what I love but just getting by.

If only it came in red .... or purple

 So I got tempted by a very lovely babble necklace at Anthropologie last week. The necklace looks something like this:

except with tigereye beads instead of various colors ... and ridiculously heavy. I wish I had something earthy to wear it with.

Does anyone know of a store [other than Anthropologie] that sells loose-fitted/wide-leg pants like the one posted below? I'm looking for this kind of style but at a reasonable price. Can be any color, but can't be cuffed. I haven't been too pleased with the ones on the GAP website since I feel GAP has pretty much sold out when it comes to their tried and true basics.

Thanks for any help on this!
