Part Goth

Share

Do you remember going through puberty ( not that I look like I'm passed it ) when it felt like a weird phase of identity crisis? It was a stage of a whole lot of awkwardness for me actually. I tried a few different looks that weren't necessarily flattering but of course I thought I was so cool at that time haha! Looking back I just find it hilarious! But that's ok because I know everyone has gone through that phase. Everyone has that one picture back in the day that make you go "eeewwww what was I thinking?"

So! Here's a tribute to those awkward puberty days and outfits. Cheers to the outfits that switched swiftly but strangely from goth, to preppy, to alternative, to hip hop, to just plain WEIRD.












Hey I'm only human, I'm allowed to make a fool out of myself . In fact, it's quite liberating! You should try it some time. That's it for now!

The Blues

Share

I'm feeling a little blue lately, literally and figuratively.

Literally because for some reason, as soon as I open the door to my closet this color is the first one I pick up on. I seem to be attracted to Blues lately. Hmmmm....I wonder why? Is there some sort of explanation why people are attracted to different colors? Is it there mood ? What they're experiencing? Some pscyhological reason maybe? I do realize that colors can affect your mood but can your mood affect the colors that you prefer at the moment?

Figuratively because I think the weather change is just forcing me to slow down a bit. Yah you know like when you wake up in a chilly morning and it's effin hard to get out of bed? It's the type of weather that encourages hybernation and procastination haha! Tsk tsk tsk..Baaaaaddddddd and I'm the type of person that likes to be active so once I'm stagnant I feel like something is missing. Thus, I start to feel "blue"

I've still been working non stop though, so at least I have a distraction. Oh and did I mention that it's the weekend again!!!!!! I love the weekends!!

Summer is Over?

Share

I can't believe that summer is already over! Seriously... Summer felt like it only lasted a week =( I didn't even get the chance to go to the beach booooooooo! Oh well there's always next year right? 

For now, it's time to whip out your fall clothes folks! Yessssssss! I can finally wear my leather shorts! My gosh these shorts were too damn hot to wear during the summer *whew*  

Anyway, I decided to play with colors and patterns a little bit on this outfit. I'm sure you've noticed on my recent posts that I've been totally digging my tan shoes and belt. I've been wearing them with almost every outfit I had on this week hehe!


I am also eyeing on a tan purse that I found online (so cute!) and I'm hoping to get it soon. I really shouldn't talk about something I don't have yet so I'll stop right here lol! Still excited though =P



Hmmm black, white, navy blue and white.. I LIKE! I think these colors work together! What do you think?


That's it for now! Cheers to Fall 2010 <3

Hollywood & Highland

Share

I've been living in Los Angeles for about 7 years now and up until now I still haven't had the chance to really SEE the city... I haven't gone to the famous wax museum, never rode the "topless" bus and I've never been inside the Kodak theater! Why? I guess since I'm a local, I haven't really thought about visiting all these places cause I know that they'll always be there. Yahhh.... I take them for granted. For the record though, I know a lot of locals that haven't been to these places either! So I guess that's normal right? I mean have you really visited all the famous spots in the city/country you live in? Or do you have the same mentality?

These thoughts just crossed my mind when my hubby and I were hanging out at Hollywood and Highland last weekend. There were thousands of tourists from all over the world riding those topless buses, taking pictures and just seeing the sights! It's cute and I love it!

Maybe I will take some time to actually ride those topless buses or even go to the wax museum in the future.
In the mean time I'll sit back and watch the tourists do it =)

This post is not meant to promote LA in anyway lol! I am just a big fan of it and I don't think I would choose to live anywhere else in the US.

What about you? Can you say that you've really seen YOUR city? =)



I know I haven't but even so...*Sigh* I heart LA =)
