I've been running a lot lately and also listening to a lot of throwback jams, so it only seemed like a good idea to compile an 8tracks playlist. I plan to make a couple more themed running playlists in the future, so keep your ears open.
Track listing:
1. 112 feat. The Notorious B.I.G. & Mase - Only You (Bad Boy remix)
2. Mary J. Blige - Family Affair
3. Blackstreet - No Diggity
4. Ginuwine - Pony
5. Mariah Carey feat. Puff Daddy, Mase, & The Lox - Honey (Bad Boy remix)
6. Mya feat. Wyclef Jean - Ghetto Superstar
7. Destiny's Child feat. Wyclef Jean - No No No Part 2
8. Mase feat. Mya - All I Ever Wanted
9. Montell Jordan feat. LL Cool J - Get It On Tonight (remix)
10. TLC - Creep

style obsession: birkenstocks
Birkenstocks & Birkenstock inspired shoes are so in style this year. I noticed that designers have been designing Birkenstock inspired shoes (top/middle/bottom). However, I'm an advocate of the original Birkenstock brand because they are one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. It also seems like they've partnered with companies like Urban Outfitters and Free People to sell different styles than your usual Gizehs or Arizonas.

d.i.y. new home decor things
I've been doing some more decorating around my apartment and taking down some old things. I really love this world map project, which you can read about on one of my favourite blogs, Treasures & Travels.
The entire cost of the project was less than $25. I got the poster printed at the large format printer at my university, so it was $18 for a 3x2 ft poster. Then a few bucks for some embroidery floss and and pushpins. It might have been smart for me to put some cork board behind the poster to make it easier to push in the pins and cause less wall damage.
The other thing is I did was nail this branch to the wall and hung some paper cranes off it. One day I was walking to work and there was this tree branch right in the middle of the sidewalk, so the most sensical thing to do was to take it home. I was going to spray paint it, but never got around to it. I kinda like it au naturel.

new things: earrings
I picked up some really cool wooden earrings yesterday from Argyle Fine Art.
The designer is local, and you can visit Jane Darling Facebook page for more neat pieces.
