Wearing Your Vitamins

Since it was kind of sunny today, it completely excited me for the hope that summer is on its way, even though it doesnt feel like it, the sun just makes me feel excited. It made me think of my favorite summer things, a lot of that includes food items, but I also love going to the beach and getting to wear cute bathing suits, or summery clothes. I definitely love Vitamin A suits, these were some of my favorites that I found recently. They are pretty pricey, but I bought one last year and got it on sale for only about $60 (both top and bottom) originally priced at $140, mine is a pretty tourqoisey color, slightly darker than the tourqoise in these ones. Now if only I could be as tanned as this model..haha =(

Guilty as Charged

Yeahh, that's me guilty of spending wayy to much when Im supposed to be on a "spending" diet. But what I found was just all too cute, I couldn't resist. I did however end up returning the grey boots and Im going to return the black heels tommorow, I do like them but I need to somewhat compensate for what I did today, because yeah Im feeling pretty guilty. So since I still can't take pictures Im just going to have to describe what I bought today. First stop was to Winners, my weakness, I needed some new gym/work-out clothes, so I bought:
-Dark grey Adidas athletic pants
-Brown Adida capris
-Navy blue with tourqoisey striped sided Adida shorts
-Two nike tops, one torqoisey(to match) and one bright pink, usually Im soo not a bright pink person, but this matched well with the brown and grey pants.
I just realized too that all the athletic bottoms I bought were adidas..
Anyways I also bought two bags, there was this darkish red bag with fringes on sale for only 16.00, it was such a good deal, and I cant resist good deals. I almost made it out the door but then I stumbled across a lovellyy yellow leather bag, my biggest splurge of the day. Ive been wanting a more seafoamy green purse for spring, but since I havent found one yet, yellow was my 2nd choice and it was just so amazing. Next stop H&M:
-Very dark (almost black) navy blue vest, with tiny, not very visible stripes
-Navy blue military style jacket, I guess you could call it military, anyways this was probably my most fave purchase of the day. Its navy blue with gold buttons on the front, and exposed gold zippers on the sleeves. Soo cute
-Pink/Yellow and white scarf, also a little bit of silvery sparkles mixed in.
-Black and gold, fairly simple long necklace

Id really love love to get some pictures happening on here but I still cant figure out how to fix my stupid camera, its saying Files errors if anyone knows how to fix that =( So for now I'll just have to stick to descriptions.
Off to study now, big test tommorow..dun dun dun..

Natural Beauty

I found these fabulous photos on supermodel.nl. The model is Elena Melnik and photographer Marcus Mam. I love how frogs and owls can look so amazingly awesome! I want them right now =) The flower necklace is also gorgeous, I imagine all of these pieces are beyond my spending reach but still, one can dream. The model plus her make-up also look amazing.

Tommorow Im finally going to H&M, Yayy, hopefully I can find some good purchases =D Anyways I posted earlier today because unfortunately I will be studying for a test the next few evenings. I really cannot wait for school to be done.. three more weeks, let the countdown begin! Oh yeah I "made" a new header as well, it's actually just a picture I took.. but I might still try to attempt making a more complex one haha. Please remember to check out my boot post from a few days ago, still trying to decide.

Controversial Cover

As Im sure you've all heard, the latest issue of vogue has stirred up a little bit of controversy. Apparently, Lebron James, looks like "King Kong" and Vogue potrays him as some type of bad black man, and Gisele as some pretty helpless white woman. I've also read that many people think they should have chosen a more "civilized" photo of the two of them, instead of Lebron looking like and "Ape," I also read this; "There are a number of black high fashion models they could've paired him with and other shots they could've used of him. At least put him in a suit. He carries a suit VERY well."

Personally, I think this is just going too far, I think the media is making all of this into a bigger deal than it really is. I also don't see why he should have to be paired with a model who is also black, to me that would have been just as controversial if not more, because then people would have been saying, "Oh, he has to be paired with another black person, why can't he be with a white model." I feel like the media always likes to turn the tables on these types of things, I mean aren't we trying to show younger kids and everyone that different races dont matter, everone is equal? So why does the media turn it into something racist, when in fact it's just an athlete and a model? To me this is just showing younger children that races do matter. Anyways I hope that all made sense haha, so what are your guys thoughts on this controversy?

Also please check out my post from a couple of days ago, Im still trying to decide!!

Back to black..and white

(Photographer:John Cowan)
(Photographer: Terence Donovan)

I was looking through my folder, and I came across these photos, there from quite awhile ago and I dont remember where I got them, but I love them, so I thought I would share, I also stuck this one of MK in there because she follows with my black and white theme, and she pulls it off so well! I absolutely love the boots, the necklace, it all just works for me really.

Btw, Im really hoping to make a new header, my last one was just such a sad lost battle with the PSP I had to take it down, after a week of staring at a blank header I decided I would give it another go, so look for that within a couple of days. Also check out the post below I still really want opinions on my shoes.. I just cant decide.. my most undecided are the last ones, because after looking at fashion toasts short minnetonkas, and after mulling them over for quite some time now, Im debating whether I should get some of those instead..

Nope, Its not Spring

So half of today was basically a full on blizzard, complete with the wind and huge snowflakes. The other half of the day was just freezing. I love snow, but it's spring, so I want spring, I need to wear spring clothing! Im sick of bundle-ing up. After school I ended up just coming home because It was so cold I didnt feel like going anywhere else. Later in the day though when it stopped snowing I decided to check out a Winners.. that led to trouble, aka spending lots of money, Winners is definitely a weakness. I ended up getting:

- black seychelles heels

- black report ankle boots,

- also a purple french connection dress for only 19.99(Can't find a picture)

Still I definitely need to stop shopping so much, Im feeling really guilty about buying three pairs of shoes in the last couple of days.. I found some pictures on the internet, fairly accurate looking, although I never feel that empty shoe pictures look quite as good as actually wearing them. I would take pictures myself, but my camera is still saying File Error, and I dont know how to fix it. So here they are, the last grey ones are the bronx ones I bought a couple of days ago.

So what do you think, to keep or not to keep?

P.S I dont know why the font keeps looking differnet on my posts, sry about that but I cant fix it lol

Its Spring, right?

Today was a crazy day, I honestly thought our crazy west coast weather was making progress towards spring, and yet today showed just how crazy our weather can be. It snowed, thats right snow, it was windy, then it rained and then the sun came back out then back to clouds... it was just a mixed up day, but it was soo cold! I stopped into Timmys for a nice warm hot chocolate, and I didnt win on my "Roll up the Rim", Do they even have winners in these cups? honestly Ive bought at least 20 cups and there all, "Please try again."

Anyways Im still looking forward to hopefully one day getting to wear summery clothes again, I found these cute dresses from wetseal, usually I cannot be bothered with this store, because it looks like a tornado has struck it everytime I look in. That just discourages me. I also know that the quality is not good here, but for something thats only around $22, I sometimes dont mind. Ive also decided that this weeked needs to be my room clean-out weekend. Its gotten pretty bad I must admit, I cant even find this belt Ive been looking for, so my plan is to clean up and organize all my clothes, what a chore this will be, hopefully I can force myself to do this and not just get lazy.. =) Anways back to watching planet earth, I have to say also I find this show hard to watch.. poor little deer, deers? they always get eaten =(

Quicklyy

Well Im in the middle of doing homework, but I just wanted to do a quick post and see how everyones easter was! Mine was actually quite good, no horrific family moments haha, I would share what I wore but it really was not an exciting outfit, I had to choose something that I definitely did not care about, my aunt has big dogs, west coast rain, the dogs like to jump on you, put that equation together and the result is ruined clothes lol. Ive lost many items there, some fave flip flops got turned into a throwing toy. So yeah other than that it was a good easter, Ive been sucking back jelly beans, and chocolate all day, Yay!

Before work today I managed to get a quick slip into Winners, long enough to find a cute pair of shortish dark grey leather boots from Bronx. They were on sale, it was a pretty crappy sale but hay its still a sale. Im still debating whether to keep them or not, Ive jut got to see if I can manage to keep them cute with different outfits. I hope to have a better post soon, just a little swamped with school work right now since my semester is ending soonish =)

Ring Ring

Well, I didnt get to goto H&M today, but I did get to goto a mall, so thats better than nothing I suppose. Checked out aritizia, they have some adorably cute wrap cardigans, in unbelievably soft material, but I just cant bring myself to spend $200 on something that I know is going to pill within a month. Anyways I bought a few rings from Aldo accessories, the black and the four colors. I was originally planning to show my super sparkly ring, and I wanted to show off my new nail polish, its Rimmel London in Fantasy, but my camera is still totally messed up and I have no idea how to fix it, files errors? I tryed using my camera on my cell phone, but the quality just didnt show off the rings as good as my normal camera, so I limited it to just this one photo.

Also, I had to post Rachel Bilson in what I believe is the March issue of Nylon. The spread was just too cute, as is Rachel. Rachel has definitely become one of my favorite celebrity style icons, she looks awesome in just about everything she wears. I hear Rachel is teaming up with DKNY to help design a line, I definitely have high hopes for her, unlike some other celebrity lines. *cough cough* Heidi Montag, do we even call her a celebrity? honestly. After her unbelievably horrid music video, I couldnt expect any better from her clothing line. In general I dont like celebrity clothing lines, however, there are a rare few that do past the test. What do you guys think, who passes the celeb clothing line test, if any?

Btw, happy Easter guys in case I dont get a chance to blog tommorow, I hope you guys enjoy splurging on lindt bunnys, cream eggs and just lots of chocolate in general, I know I plan too =D

Bracelet lusting

I thought these bracelets, were too cute, very MK I thought, except MK does a lot of snakes, and since im terrified of snakes I thought that these were a super cute susbstitute to the snake. The elephant looks kind of hard to makeout in the picture. But sadly I wont be spending $400/$700 dollars for either of them. Looks like I'll have to find a cheaper substitute :)

Finally the weekend, Im seriously hoping to get to H&M because the last time I went it was still mostly winter stuff, and yesterday was the first day of spring, Yay! Im hoping to find a couple of cute dresses. Even though I wont be able to wear them for awhile, I plan to pair up with some leggings/tights. The first couple days of spring have actually been depressingly cold, Im hoping this wont last too long, because Im definitely ready for some warmer weather.

Hmm also, while at Winners today I saw a couple of cute bcbg silky dresses, and Im not sure how to make them look more casual, what do you guys think?

Model of the Moment

Well today there was another singer at the mall, Danny Hernandes or something, I had never really heard of him, but I had to miss it yet again due to work. So lately there has been a model that has been standing out for me, at first glance in one of her runway shows I thought she was Gemma Ward, I just think shes so cute, so in my new category,Sasha Pivovarova is the model of the moment =)

Sorry todays post is incredibly short, I just think I might fall asleep while typing since for some reason Im soo tired, so Im off to sleeep, night night =)

Talk to me

(Ignore these girls blocking my photo view!)

Oh my, today was an exciting day, I saw George <3. Wow what a cutie he was in his little lacoste polo! Unfortunately I missed his performance because of school. I didn't however want wait in the screaming and pushing preteen mob of people to get an autograph. It seems silly to me for a little scribble on paper in which the girl before me got almost an identical copy, it’s not memorable you know, I dont want to be another typical, "Your so cool" fan. So I decided to sit back and take in the view, and a good view it was, although a hug would have been nice. Anyways let’s get to what I wore, I had to get up super early for school, so I decided to keep it nice and simple.
-White v-neck tee from U.O
-Longish grey cardi from H&M
-Dark wash skinny jeans from A&f
-Grey leather ankle boots from Aldo (my super deal, theres a pik at the beginning of my blog)
-Necklace from H&M
-My blingbling ring(oval shape swarovski crystal ring, so cute and sparkly) and my tanzanite ring

Btw, if you don’t know who George is, check out his myspace page http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=74785063

Going Green

In spirit of St.Patricks day, I thought I would stick with my green theme. Here are a few items I found around the net, The first dress, I love, it reminds me of my favorite little blue dress from when I was like 6. The 2nd little tote bags arent exactly the cutest but I love how they come in a 5 pack and can roll up so easily and be tucked away into your purse. Not to mention they're water proof, which is a must when living on the west coast. The last two items are from a website where all of the items are organic/green. http://www.devidoll.com/. Also happy to mention my cold seems to be finally leaving, yay! Unfortunately the cough will stick around for awhile.

Update

Unfortunately Ive been fighting a cold the past few days now, not fun, Im going kind of house crazy so today I forced myself to go out. I have my famous cough, which many like to call the bark, the goose, the honk.. etc. Yes mean I know, but it does sound pretty bad, and by now, Im used to getting the stares. Anyways Im seriously hoping this cold will be gone by tommorow.

So I dont know about you guys but when Im sick I tend to watch a lot of movies, tonight I watched "Into the Wild". I thought it was a really excellent movie, what made it even more interesting was the fact that it was based on a true story, I recommend it to anyone looking for something different then a typical chick flick. It really opened my eyes and made me think. Ive always thought I loved the city, but this movie made me realize how much I also enjoy some good wilderness. This also inspired me to go green, I must admit I could be doing more, but Ive decided to start off by taking small steps at a time, hopefully this will include my fashion ways as well. Im not exactly well educated in this department, yes I know the no more plastic bags, turn off your lights etc, but if anyone else has some other tips, Id be happy to hear them =)
