this week's faves

5. This recipe for a green apple smoothie from A Beautiful Mess:

I seriously need this. Right now. I am so bored with all of my regular food choices. I need to change things up! I also need a blender…

4. This motion typography music video for Blackalicious's "Alphabet Aerobics":

Seeing the lyrics makes them even more impressive. Plus this song is just super awesome. It's at the top of all of my "mixtape" playlists right now.

3. The newest style/outfit guide from Modcloth:



I need to get better at dressing up/dressing down the teaching/work clothing I have. Also I want to buy All The Things in this guide. Seriously.

2. This USB SNES controller on super sale at Urban Outfitters.



It takes a little configuring when you first hook it up to your emulator of choice (I like BSNES a whole lot), but once you do it, it's like you're playing a real SNES. And for the record I only play ROMs of games I own physically. It actually has less to do with piracy and more to do with how obsessed I am with a certain core of SNES games and only want to replay them all the time. (More on that in a later post.)

1. These gorgeous Lace ME Up Before You Go-Go Heels at Modcloth.



No really. These will be mine.
