Party for D

Despite the fact that my body is tired and beaten from the crazy schedule that I carry: three internships, two jobs (three if you count babysitting), and going out at least four days a week...I managed to make it to D's 23rd Birthday Party. There was no way I could really miss it. D had been planning it for the past two months or so and we all patiently looked forward to its arrival like parents waiting for their first born. The hizzy took place in the city of San Jo (San Jose for you non-Bay Areans) at Club Vivid. Our party of forty or so (who could keep track really) were escorted to a VIP room upstairs where we were presented with a couple of bottles, Bombay Sapphire was present upon my suggestion. I almost did a crazy happy dance after noticing that there was a DJ booth in our room, but sadly my heart was ripped out of my chest and fed to the garbage disposal. There was no private DJ at our dispense and I had to suffer through the worst music being mixed my the lamest DJ ever at the actual club. He played that fucken "Soulja Boy" song and all the other commercial bullshit that you could imagine. I honestly wanted to slice my wrists and feed a vampire. Regardless of this I danced my ass off because I'm like that.

At this very moment I wanted to pass out in a fluffy comfy bed. My feet ached and I was way too intoxicated.

Uncle Jesse and Aunt Becky??

OMG!!! That would be so cool if they really hooked up in real life!! Upon my daily perusal of Style.com I came across this:



I miss the good ol' days..........

"Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream"

Hi. It was not my intention to go as long as I did without writing a post, but I can't find the cable that hooks up my camera to my laptop, which means I can't upload photos of my recent happenings. To be honest I can't remember what the hell I've been up to lately. I did have a wonderful Valentine's Day last night with one of my favorite people in the world. We cooked, or should I say he cooked a feast consisting of grilled salmon, pasta with mariana sauce and olives and eggplant parmesan. My contribution was rosemary crackers paired with a garlic brie, steamed broccoli and a bottle of local wine. The night was perfect because we watched the most current episode of Project Runway. That show is amaziiiiinggggggg. Go Christian!

Since I lack current photos I am totally inclined to share some of one of my favorite memories from my trip to New York City last October. It is especially memorable because I was completely by myself on that particular outing and I got to walk through Central Park and find Strawberry Fields...

Central Park is gorgeous. There are many many beautiful old trees, ponds, trails, and spectacular nature all around. People can be seen walking their dogs, running, or playing with their children at one of the many playgrounds.



I wish I could have shared this moment with somebody because I was highly emotional. It was very peaceful. There were a lot of people paying their respects and sharing their favorite Beatles stories.




The Dakota. Highly guarded might I add for obvious reasons. Exquisite architecture.


And this concludes my 100th post! Yay me!

Too Good To Be True?

Proenza Schouler Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear

I can die happy now. This is my favorite collection so far and I know it's going to take a lot to beat it. I LOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE me some jewl tones and they managed to use so many in beautiful combinations it makes me so happy and totally motivates me to dress better. The folds and pleats are brilliant because those particular details make an outfit look totally complete and there is really no reason to wear jewelry, you know what I mean? The look as a whole is totally solid. I also really appreciate the menswear looks. They totally remind me of Anita Palenberg, but a modern version. Another great thing about this collection is the use of glittermania. I'm so glad sequins are not out of the fashion sphere just yet because I have tons of it in my wardrobe. Thank you Proenza Schouler. I love you!!!!!




This is one of my favorite looks. Sapphire blue, long trousers, giant bow...





I am determined to find purple pumps so I can recreate this outfit. The color usage is amazing!!!


...and of course there is black and white. I am sooooooo glad I dyed my hair black because I realllllyyyyyy love how these ladies look with these two hues.

Ode to Fall

Philosophy Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear

This outfit looks so easy and effortless, but totally put together at the same time. I also really like how comfy all the layers look and the dark greys. When it doubt on what to wear, choosing all dark hues always does the trick for me...


Another effortless look and delicate at the same time. I am totally digging the undergarment/20's flapper dress underneath the black coat. The heavy 90's boots work perfectly and I am so happy that textured thights are still hottt.


Marc by Marc Jacobs fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS LOOK! Bright yellow paired with black might make some think of a taxi cab, but I think that the combination screams fuck*ng off the hizzy. She looks so awesome with the hat as well, very cool looking girl.



I think the whole look is great, but the jacket is super cool all by itself. Very unique and a fun new spin on a motorcycle jacket. Can I also mention how awesome the two models look with sunglasses??!!! LOVE it! I totally wear sunglasses ALL THE TIME and have a gazillion pairs stashed in my drawers with broken this and that because I always manage to sit on them or scratch them one way or the other.


TSE Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear

I would wear this in a heartbeat!!! I love how confident she appears. She looks badass and intelligent. I think I have a good chance of emulating this look because I own a kick ass pair of long denim trousers and a big black faux fur coat. The only thing that I need is a wine hued high collar blouse...



Another ivy league look. I can't resist! Give me a textbook and lead me to the library! Again, the colors are fabooo and I love the 70's feel of it.

Fat Tuesday

Heyyyyyyyyyyy! Today I hit the theater before work and watched The Orphanage. The film was good, but it was not great. To be honest I had higher expectations, but I just can't forgive the fact that the filmmaker had to explain every damn thing to the viewer. I hate when that happens. It totally reminded me of M. Night Shyamalan and his last films The Village and Lady In the Water. Anyways, The Orphanage was cool because it had a creepy cold vibe like The Others and it was shot in a huge old mansion.

Meet Tomas. His momma makes him wear this bag over his head because he is deformed. Does she really think that drawing a scary clown face is going to improve his self-esteem?!


...and even though it was icy outside it did not deter me from wearing my cute little skirt to work. The fur kept me cozy so it was all gooooooodddddd...

Izzy the mugger

This weekend was fun fun fun! Even though my dream did not come true and I did not go out to a disco where I could dance until the wee hours of the night, I managed to keep it real. I got to see one of my favorite people ever, Geo. Geo's real name is Chris, but I started calling him that because even though he would never admit to it, I know he has a secret obsession with the awesome car with the same name. Here he is wearing my faux fur hat...


I also ate a lot of nachos this weekend...


...and wore my Erin Fetherston dress that I got from Target on super sale for like $11 and my new faux fur jacket from White House Black Market. I've been buying and have been gifted with a lot of faux fur lately. My mother bought me a white fur best and my aunt surprised me with a white fur jacket. It totally makes me look super chunck so I will have to wear it with sleazy dresses so the attention is focused on that instead.


I dyed my hair black as you can see...


For a while I played with the idea of dying it Juliane Moore red, but I was super bored one evening and drove to the store and bought a box of dye.

Today I got to see my favorite cutie, Izzy. She enjoys mugging people for no apparent reason and I think that is the coolest thing.



Ha ha! This photo is priceless...


Even though I can't vote because I am not a Citizen I like to keep up with the elections. Tonight I went to my old school San Jose State University to hear Michelle Obama speak. She was brilliant of course and if I could vote, I would probably vote for her husband.



I think we need a president like him and a first lady like her. Young, intelligent, motivated, and not afraid of change. That's beautiful...

My evening outfit. I was coming home from feeding a group of kitties...


I cat sit sometimes.

Winter...

You are so difficult because you make me incredibly cold. My friends are unmotivated and do not want to leave their couches and dance. Then comes the rain day and night until my front entrance is flooded.
