YEAR 6

2012-01-15T19:35:00.001-08:00

HELLO! Being that this is my first post of 2012, I have just realized that this is my sixth year blogging! YAY ME! Blogging and the whole blogosphere has always been a love of mine before it was ever this major thing that it is in pop culture now. I've taken notice that some of my style has evolved from the five years I've been following style blogs and blogging. For the past few months, people have been asking me "Do you have a Tumblr?" and my answer is always a "NO. Tumblr reminds me of a BloggingFacebook where people are simply just resharing pictures from others." YES, I do reshare pictures on my blog, but the photos I share are composed into a post where I'm actually talking about why that picture is there. Haha, do not get me wrong, I do occasionally go on Tumblr pages (primarily natural hair and NYC ones), but other than that, it's just not for me. I enjoy my blog on blogspot because I feel like it's my own actual little website instead if like some social networks (I do enjoy facebook and twitter), plus Blogger.com will pretty much always be relevant, rather than Tumblr which will probably be out of "style" by the end of the year. ANYWAYS, I kind of got off topic but I'm just really excited but to see what new things the world of style blogging will bring me. :)

READY FOR FALL.

2011-09-01T19:09:00.000-07:00

May I just state how anxious I am for the fall months. I have to say that fall might be my new favorite season. This reasoning could be because of this scorching hot summer. I literally felt like I was gonna melt this summer and still do. I have noticed that my style has evolved and definitely matured as I have gotten older. And if you've been following my blog now for almost the last 5 years, you will notice that my colorful, quirky outfits have transformed to something more simplistic yet still my own signature style. With that being said, I'm ready for

classic and structured trench coats

booties

chunky circle scarfs

heavy blazers

knit thigh-highs

and smoky eye make-up!!!

AND....

'Tis all for now!

Absence.

2011-08-19T14:39:00.000-07:00

A few words from me:

I am so sorry from my absence, having not posted since early June. I was in New York City for the end of June and all through July. It was an AMAZINGGGG trip and I was so sad for my departure. I will try to blog more lately and I will definitely try to do more outfit posts!

Spring has sprunggg

2011-04-24T13:54:00.000-07:00

Wow...is this true that I havent blogged since the beginning of the year. That's terrible. But this time Ive had an excuse being that I had been so busy with rehearsals and dance conventions from the end of february to the beginning of April. It was definitely a successful and fun season filled with great dancing, performing, and people. Now that the school year is about to end (4 MORE WEEKS!), I should be able to blog more. OH! And I spent my Spring Break in Miami, so next post is coming up!

TOASTTOFASHION

2011-01-11T12:03:00.000-08:00

Rumi Neely for Fashion Toast would have to me one of my fave blogs. I can't decide of whether I'm obessesed with her style or photography....or the fact that she travels from LA to NYC periodically.

THERE'S A LOCK. AND THEN THERE'S A KEY.

2011-01-06T21:33:00.001-08:00

My turban obsession has returned! I'm quite upset that I bought one last spring and returned it 10 minutes later because I thought it looked granny-ish. Now I must hunt one down. I've looked online for possible stores that could sell them, but I've experienced no luck. Last spring there seemed to many in stock at certain stores, those only being online though. Hopefully I can find one before the weather warms up even though I like how turbans can be seasonal, being warm in warm or cold climates. The other thing I have to try to figure out is how to fit my BIG hair only a one-layered turban. Hmmmmmm. I'm guessing lots of hair pins will be used. But as I'm typing this, I'm actually thinking about finding a way to make one. There are always tutorials on YouTube so that won't be so difficult after all.....ignoring my optimism. I should also be thinking about how I should be asleep right now so that I can give my raccoon eyes a rest for once!

WINTER BREAK HAS ENDED :(

2011-01-03T20:14:00.000-08:00

I'm a bit sad and upset that the break is over because I'll mostly be missing my late nights and sleeping-in. This break has most definitely been exciting and I'm unsure whether to say it went by fast or not. I always say if you think it went by fast then it did, so in this case, I'll say it was "medium speed" if that makes sense. Hahaha :) I passed all my classes last semester (as usual) and this semester I'll be aiming for that 4.0 because as of now I'm at a 3.7. I'm not saying this as a "New Year Resolution" but I'll definitely be more focused/LESS distracted and I promise to at least try to blog twice a week! :)

Happy New Year! 2010 is officially over and the start of a new year has arrived!

:)

LET'S PUT IN AN OFFER

2010-12-31T18:01:00.000-08:00

I do not know if this'll be my last post of 2010, but I'll just sau Happy New Year for now! This year, I can say, has been pretty amazing. My favorite part? Summer 2010. I got to meet so many amazing people, dance with amazing dancers, perform, shop, and just enjoy life all in my fave city and hometown....NYC. I dont't know what 2011 will bring, but I hope it's just as grand as 2010 was!

DRESSING TO THE MAX

2010-12-31T12:00:00.000-08:00

Definitely loving how maxi dresses can be worn all year round.

GRANDPA

2010-12-30T18:39:00.000-08:00

This year I found lots of comfort in my grandpa sweaters...particularly knitted ones.

I was also a wee bit obsessed with button-downs. They're just so simple but so versatile, and you can dress them up or down as well.

ps: Told you guys I would try to squeeze in my last 2010 posts since I haven't blogged much this year. Ha ha

OH BABY YOU'RE DISCO SHOES HAVE ME SIGHING...

JUST A LATE NIGHT ALUMNI

2010-12-30T03:03:00.000-08:00

It is 6 in the morning and I have been up for hours. Not quite sleepy, but having a desperate, actually very desperate, need to blog....which I most definitely have been slacking on for the past couple of months. Since I am still including the day that I've been up for for hours, when I go to sleep I'll consider that to be the next day. Honestly though, I'm really just trying to squeeze in as many blog posts as possible. I know that may sound odd, but I feel as though I have not been quite the "blogger" for some months now. Much of my lack of post reasoning comes from school and lots of dance. Classes this first semester was pretty okay and it went by pretty speedy. Actually while I'm typing this I am thinking about all those times I couldve blogged on my iPhone, but we can't go back in time and change it can we? The post I was actually going to do tonight was on my favorite things in 2010 (mostly pertaining to fashion and beauty). I think in 2010 I'll try to include more beauty into my posting. This is most certainly not a "New Years Resolution", but I'll just make that one of my blogging priorities. But with my eyes slowly starting to fall in my face, I will end this post abruptly haha.

CIOA!!!! xoxoxoxo

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

2010-12-25T15:09:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday! I know Im terrible being that i havent blogged in a month. But now that I have a new laptop, I definitely will be updating more frequently. Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and hopefully I will update before New Years Eve!

CHEERS xoxoxooxoxoxox :)

THE LIGHT YEARS

2010-10-23T08:50:00.000-07:00

It's a beautiful Saturday morning. I'm really enjoying this weather, it's just the right mix of fall and tad bit of the warmth from spring. The look above pretty much suits, how I'll be looking today. I think one of my fave things about fall and winter are scarves. They can just really pull a whole look together. Chunky scarves would have to be my faves, so that's one of the things I'll be on the hunt for this season. I'm also looking for some rusted oxfords, knit-thigh highs, long anoraks, classic tan trench coat, NEW combat boots (since someone took mines), and blehhhhh so much more. I think my next post will be one of my "occasional wish lists" haha.

I was so laughing.

I hate my facial expression in the photo above ^^

This song, I can say, is one of those songs that make you want to fall in love. I don't know if it's just me, but maybe it's just the brilliance in the song that makes me feel this way. I sometimes like to thank the heavens for finding letting me find music like this. I think I connect to music more than people know and that's why I sometimes never share songs or like or let people raid through my ipod because I like to keep songs like this to myself. Sometimes I feel like the notes and melodies have a friendship with me. It's a bit weird for me to feel this way about a song, but IDK haha :)

Just about the coolest pair of socks I've ever seen.

Definitely like these in leather...saddle brown leather that is.

I'm really needing this dress.

Not really one for hoodies but I really like this one.

Speechless with these.

Perfect dress for going out for brunch.

2010-05-16T16:42:00.000-07:00

Every time I wear an oversize button down, people always seem to stare at me like I'm wearing a green catsuit or something. Hmm, I wonder?? Anyways, wearing the button-downs is probably one of my favorite things to wear now. They're extremely comfy, breezy, and so easy to wear on a sunny/breezy spring day. This one I'm wearing here is actually my father's. I plan to pick up some of my own from the thrift store, but until then I will borrow his hehe!

Enjoying Spring

2010-05-01T21:46:00.000-07:00

In 3 weeks classes will be over. In 3 weeks I will be able to wake up on my own time. In 3 weeks I will be able to blog more. In 3 weeks the start of a great summer will begin. I'm so excited to know that I will be dancing practically all this summer. Most readers on my blog don't know that I'm a dancer. I do mostly ballet and contemporary, but I'm well rounded in every genre. Anyways, back to my STYLE blog, I know I always say that I will update and never get around to it. It's pretty hard balancing school, dance, and blogging. Not saying that I don't enjoy blogging because I do, it's just that I'm the laziest procrastinator known to man.

The Saritorialist...and all of his inspiring photographs.

2010-04-10T10:32:00.000-07:00

Every time I visit his website, it's like the inspiration bug comes hovering over me. For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, I am talking about one of the most recognized street style blogs around. It was created by Scott Schuman and he captures street style in various places like New York, Milan, Paris, Stockholm, London, and Florence.

Ahh, I used to have this haircut :(

This make wearing all black so much more fun.

Ahhhhhh street art is just as great as street style.

Love love love these pants. Definitely a great substitution for the infamous skinny pants.

This woman is the definition of Fabulous.

I think this guy is pretty hot if I must say so myself ;)

Okay so this photo is definitely making me want a moped more and more!

Longing for lazy days of summertime....

SALTY AIR

2010-03-07T14:20:00.000-08:00

I don't know what it is but I have been longing for a turban. It just reminds of spring and like everyone else, I am ready for the warmer weather and the lazy days of summer. Unfortunately, there aren't many stores that sell turbans. Luckily, I was on F21's website and they actually had a turban (photo above). I really like the orange-y, reddish color....but that's the only color they have. Hey, maybe I'll do a DIY turban (floral, pastel colors, shiny fabric...)
What do you guys think?

Fashion Week: Fall 2010 RTW Review PART 1

2010-02-26T20:19:00.000-08:00

Mmkay, so here is my review on some of the Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear shows at FW. There are definitely a lot of interesting shows that went on and I thought I would review the shows that I thought were really great and the ones that are not so much in my liking.
-First off, I have No.21's show which is Alessandro Dell Acqua's new collection. It's named after his birthday, December 21st, which is his lucky number. " Crisp poplin skirts, camel trousers, boxy knits..." I really liked the bold platforms that ranged in shades from nude (beige), fuchsia, electric blue, black, and my all-time favorite, burgundy. Also, I really liked the khaki trenches, sharp hemmed sweaters, leopard trench, hot pink trousers, lace tops, and sheer blouses. Overall, I LOVED this collection because all of the pieces can be worn individually, especially as statement pieces.

-Prada RTW: Okay so I was very much dissapointed with Prada's collection. Most of the pieces reminded me of old women who were scratchy knit sweaters and tweeds with cat-eye glasses, though I do like cat-eye glasses. My least favorite pieces would have to be the flared capris, knitted skirts, t-straps with the thick, knit knee-highs. I did like the dresses with the cut-out area under the chest area, and some of the knitted sweaters belted with a slim belt..and the beehives :)

-Lastly, I have Dsquared2's show. Dean and Dan had the models sporting slicked back hair, petite cocktail dresses, bustiers, tight leather gloves that stopped mid-hand, brooches, fur coats in jet black and caramel. I did'nt like the distressed-to-the-extrems top. But all in all, I would rate this collection 2/3 which really isnt bad at all...it's just really from all of the fringed and distressed-ness.

Part 2 NEXT!

SWIMMING IN MY DOME.

2010-02-12T21:24:00.000-08:00

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COLLECTION!!

FAUX FUR..of course.

2010-01-31T15:42:00.000-08:00

Starting off I just want to point out that from the looks of my Post title, the fur in my photographs are faux. I am most certainly a strong advocate of animal rights, and I find no reason in wearing real fur when I can wear faux.

Procrastination keeps defeating me.

2010-01-21T20:43:00.000-08:00

Hiya lovelies. Yes it has been a year since I've blogged (hhaha only a month) and I know I'm late on this but Happy New Year :) No New Year's Resolutions here because I never have or will keep them. There has been so much going on for me right now, especially with rehearsels and such that I have abandoned my dear bloggy. There will def me more outfit posts coming soon!

CIAO for now!

The holidays were great and I am happy to wind down and relax. With New Year's in 2 days, I am not really sure what my plans are. What I do know is that I am not ready to start my normal schedule. Anywho, I have been doing some online browsing/shopping and it's ridiculous how someone can want so many things! Aha, but I do always find myself buying things that I dont need instead og things that I do need. Shopnastygal.com's website is like my ideal wardrobe. There is not one thing on that website that I wouldn't want...especially all of the Jeffrey Campbell shoes!

WHEN YOUR HEART IS IN YOUR DREAM, NO REQUEST IS TO EXTREME

2009-12-21T11:39:00.000-08:00

This outfit definitely kept me warm throughout the chilly weather, thanks to all the layering that I did. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that all the clothes made me look too wide and bulky.

Okay so the desinger of this little collection here is a designer by the name of Jessie White. Her label though goes by the name of Shakuhachi. Founded in the 90's, this Aussie label is now being brought to the US.

2009-12-05T19:59:00.000-08:00

Excuse how worn out my shoes look but these bad boys are like my go-to shoes (well sorta). But it seems like every time it rains, I always seem to be wearing them. Rain plus leather is definitely a bad combo, so why must my luck always be tested when I wear these. Well I don't care because I love these shoes. They're super comfy and I nearly wear them with everything.

As soon as I saw this ad in my magazine (I have yet to remember what magazine it is), I shrieked. 1.) My favorite designer Marc Jacobs has named a fragrance after MUAH! 2.) This is the cutest perfume bottle he has designed! I haven't smelled it yet, but I can't wait to. This will def be on my wishlist.

VOGUE DECEMBER 2003.

2009-11-28T19:06:00.000-08:00

Today I actually went to the mall (eww) to get my Dec/January 2010 issue of NYLON, since the bookstore is basically the only place where they sell it. It felt weird to be at the mall the day after Black Friday because, well you know, everyone did some dangerous shopping yesterday. I, for sure, never have or will go shopping on BF. Come on, like what can I possibly find? The funny thing is that last night, I finally found out why they named Black Friday, Black Friday. Well in the economic world [or whatvever], the businesses or stores that are on the urge of closing down are red and the stores or businesses that are pretty well off are black. And since the economy is down, they are trying to urge people to shop more so that they can SHOP SHOP SHOP and turn these stores to "black". Wow, I never knew that or would've thought that. Aha, I hope I'm not the only one who didn't know this.

So STYLE.COM has just recently posted an article called " Will You Borrow From The Boys". And by the photos of course, they are saying how the classic white button-down shirt has a been an iconic staple for a few decades now.....and most of the time, it is borrowed from a male counterpart. This clean and simple style has played so well in the "tomboy" look that designers decided to bring it back out in their own creative way (welll duhhhhh). Hmm, well these above are my favorite of what I've seen. Enjoy.

2.) Yves Saint Laurent

These shoes I have absolutely no idea where they came from. My mother and I were going through piles and piles of clothes that we would take to the thrift store and iI stumbled upon these interesting shoes. They're extremely chunky and comfy...but I have yet to find anything I can wear them with. Any suggestions??

Being that I am an accesorries fanatic, I went on one of my new fave websites, Shopnastygal.com and everything on there is amazing. But one of my fave sections is he accesorries section. They're stuff is so creative and crafty.
The feathered headband is a type of headband that I have yet to see. It would be a really great statement piece or worn with something that doesnt draw the attention from it.
Now I know it's a little cliche but this bow is wayyyy too adorable. What makes it different from other bows is that it's does not have that usual triangular bow shape, but a more round and ruffly shape.

IF YOU WERE A BOOK, I'D READ YOU ALL DAY.

It was love at first sight when I first saw these pants. Actually they were on the sale rack at H&M and I couldn't resist. There were none in my size left but only size 6,8,and 10..so I opted for the 6 of course and I ended up liking the fit. They're super comfy and spacious (no brainer).

Lately I've been seeing a lot of stylish and it makes me daydream.....too much. But I love how they have an old, classic look but they also look modern. And I am in love with her hair! Since I have decided to stop cutting my hair and grow it out, this will be one of my new styles, or at least I'll try it.

Beauty. Sounds like a good topic to me since I' always blogging about fashion and style. My beauty routine every morning seems to be getting crammed more and more from doing new tricks and steps. Most of the time I opt for the neautral, everday look unless I am perhaps going out. My everyday routine involves the basic beauty buys like liquid eyeliner, neautral blush, gold and brown eyeshadow, chapstick, liptint, and lipgloss.
MY DAILY PRODUCTS ARE:
(note that I am extremely cheap so I dont like to splurge on my Beauty products!)

1.) N.Y.C Liquid Eyeliner, 2.) C.O. Bigelow Mentha Liptint/gloss, 3.) Maybelline New York Eyeshadow Pallette, 4.) N.Y.C Cheek Glow, 5.) Covergirl Wetslicks

Sorry about the lack of an outfit, my camera has been feeling a bit lazy lately =(

So for some time now I've been really taking interest in vintage and antique jewelry. It's something about finding a piece of jewelry that has a story behind it and knowing that no one will most likely have it. A few weeks ago I was at a fashion show and I met this lady who collected, sold, and sometime remakes vintage jewelry. Her pieces were so beautiful and unique...darn I wish I had taken some pictures to share with you guys though there I do have a photo of a dress that I had to model in the show.

HERE ARE SOME PIECES I REALLY LIKE AND FOUND WHILE BROWSING THROUGH DIFFERENT WEBSITES.

If you don't know how to read Chinese you can still hopefully see that each page is from a different time period. 1989 to 1999 shows the evolution of cell phones :) 1949to 1959 shows the business-like woman of that time. 1999 to 2009 shows the structure of a fast pace economy and environment. Now did anyone notice a sort of pattern? Aha well on every page, every outfit seems to be red, black, or white.

Ahh today was such a long and eventful day.. I don't think I've been so argumentative in my life. People have been really my buttons. For instance, people who know all of a sudden act like they are interested or know fashion. I do not know where this little fad came from but I think it's so fake and cliche. As in cliche, I mean they are so into whatever their favorite music artist likes so they follow, being one of those people who obviously have no sense of direction and seem to only follow what the media puts out for them. Woah, and I think if I see one more Polo shirt, I just might vomit. But other than the negatives, there have been some positives..like me being to come home and blog...without being a procrastinator! Dance was also great today and I've just discovered some other great blogs that I will be putting on my blog list. Okay so now the exhaustion is starting to kick in so I will now end this post :D

OUTFIT POST TOMORROW!

Oh Luella, Lualla, Luella.

2009-09-30T16:39:00.000-07:00

So this seems to be the 2nd post where I blog about a girly line. Luella's runway show that was introduced to me Nylon is filled with polka-dots, pink, ruffles, dresses with bubble skirts, and bows, bows, bows! I love how Ms. Bartley always keeps to her girly designs. Also, cut-out heart necks are to die for!

Her Silence is Loud, She Screams without a Sound.

2009-09-29T19:12:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday blogger.com! Though I am watching So You Think You Can Dance right now, I just want to tell you about Stretis's amazing Autumn/Winter 09. Being the girly gal I am, I love all of the frilly dresses and voluminous ruffles.

And here's an outfit post, which I haven't done since uhmmm July??

Come With My Love, to the Sea of Love.

2009-09-28T16:20:00.000-07:00

Now that I am starting to fall out of my flats phase, I have been taking interest in looking at more heels. I definitely love Ann Demeulemeester's shoes and also Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Chloe, Giambattista Valli, Anna Sui, Brian Atwood, Bruno Fissoni, Christian Louboutin, Dries Van Noten, and ahhh so many more. But here I'm just going to show you these amazing shoes that I spotted while doing m internet-window-shopping.
All of these shoes are Jeffrey Campbell.

Yesterday Was a Lie.

2009-08-30T17:33:00.000-07:00

The school year has started back again..well actually for weeks ago :P It's been an interesting experience so far. The one thing I hated is having to get accustomed to waking up at an early time, but it's not the worst thing in the world. I do love the new thigns that I have purchased for school. Some of the things I've bought while in New York and/or Myrtle Beach. I also did some vintage shopping which was fun and of course my grand total was under $20 dollars!
Gonna post pics later :D

City baby.

2009-08-05T11:37:00.000-07:00

Oh yes I am a city baby...in fact a New York City baby. Aha but anyway, I went for this dance convention called New York City Dance Alliance.....And I had a blast; made a lot of friends, met some amazing choreographers and people who have worked in the dance world including broadway stars and choreographers and more. It is a great experience, trust. Did a lot of shopping (Uniqlo, UO, American Apparel, F21, blah blah blah), which was great. It felt so good to be back in my city, since I hadn't been back since summer of 06. Pretty sad, huh? But I'll be back next summer, and the summer after that, and the summer after that summer, then hopefully for good!

More pictures to come later, but today has been such a long day!!

Update.

2009-07-26T13:27:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness! I have abandoned my blog so bad. So much has gone on that I couldnt update my lovely little blog. For starters I had a summer dance intensive around the lats time I updated here. On the 28th of June I left for Mrytle Beach, which was a great getaway after two weeks of nonstop dancing. While there I did a little shopping. My purchases were just a black vest, saddle brown gladiators, v-neck tee, pink floppy hat, v-neck tee, patterened scarf, and an exclusive Audrey Hpeburn "Breakfast at Tiffany's" beach towel! Aha the towel was only $20 and I couldnt resist to get it..I mean where else can you buy a Breakfast at Tiffany's towel for twenty dollars?!?!

It was an amazing trip and I enjoyed every minute of it!
Next post will be my New York post!

Rodarte Fall 2009.

2009-06-21T10:37:00.000-07:00

I hate to just jump-start this post like this but those patent-like gray thigh high boots are stunning. They look like they were first constructed to find the shape then they got the material and wrapped in around mummy-like. For one I do love the color palette of light and dark grays, greens, and baby blues. And if you look closely into the detailing of the skirt has alligator print.

Doo.Ri

2009-06-11T20:04:00.000-07:00

Doo Ri Chung's Pre-Fall 2009 collection in definitely RTW. I love how she sticked to one color or pattern pallette, which consisted of pastel blues and grays, black, dark gray, and this weird black and white pattern theat looks like splattered paint. I love how each piece is versatile. But my favorite of them all would have to be to second look with the pastel blue layered dress.

More looks on Style.com.

These badboys are starting to grow on me now. You see at first I thought they had like a little try to hard goth or punk look to them, but now that I see that they are not being worn that way so I love them!

And looks at these!

2009-06-09T20:12:00.000-07:00

I have finally decided to just use all of these pictures that I save to my computer. I don't know but lately I just feel like getting rid of things. I know this is not like me, me being the person who saves everything. Maybe because it's the summer and I want to feel free and just let go of all the things that the Fall and Winter have bombarded me with. So I guess to start of this whole "get-rid-of-things" phase, I will start off the unused photos on my computer.

3.1 PHILLIP LIM FALL 2009

2009-06-08T12:29:00.000-07:00

Phillip Lim's collection was filled with clothes inspired by sixties London. The collection consisted of ankle-length trouser pants, ruffle blouses, blazer and matching pants duo's, round-lens shades, and sleek, short bobs. Here is Lim featured below taking his bow at the end of his show.

2009-06-07T08:07:00.000-07:00

While browsing style.com, I stopped upon am article about Andy Warhol's factory. Now that I am not able to find the article again, I cannot recall who is featured in these photos except for of course Edie Segdwick and Andy Warhol. But I love to take note of the 60's style with the shift dresses, big bouffant hairdos, polka dots, black skinnies, and charcoal eyeliner. Most which are similar to the styles today....geesh everything just keeps coming back in style!

This day I happened to be play dress-up in my closet with a costume I had when I was 8. Seeing how long ago that was, it's pretty weird how I am still able to fit it being the height and weight that I am as of now.

Being broke can and mostly will always be the most aggravating thing especially when you're consistently online shopping, adding things to your cart, then noticing that you have no money on your card. It almost feels humiliating, but only to yourself because you are the only one who knows what happened. And all of this is pertaining to me...of course. I mean it's not all that serious to me because at least I am able to shop when I absolutely feel like it and that is mostly when the seasons have just changed.
So for the photos below, I was having a "childlike" feeling. So I grabbed an old Girl Scout button down and a teddy bear and WAH-LAAAA there you have it. I'm a very animated person so don't mind me.

I have just finished reading the April issue of Nylon and I just want to wish my favorite magazine of all time, Nylon, a very Happy Birthday. From their eye-catching editorials to their selection of covergirls (excluding some that should be nameless) and to the friendships stylistas worldwide, who wouldn't love Nylon. The magazine created for the indie girl is now celebrating their tenth year in their birth month...April!

So the last Saturday before my Spring Break ended, which was to weeks ago, I made my trip to H&M in need of something new to wear this summer. There was an 80's purple tank dress that zips in the front but I still regret not purchasing it.

I AM IN LOVE LOVE LOVE with my new tigertooth necklace!

While being in desperate need of another shopping adventure I finally got to go downtown at this place called Atlantic Station to stop by H&M and maybe Banana Rplubic and Vicky's Secret. I didnt know I if I wanted to got to my 3rd home, this placed called Little Five Points to do some sickening vintage shopping and browsing in Urbann Outfitters but I decided to go to AS. For the first time I did not pick up lots of pieces that I would like but I did seem to find this utterly amazing light green dress that looks like it could have been worn in the 30's and this gold and wooden tigertooth necklace with little crystals encrusted. But what really caught my eye was this purple, zip-front super fitted dress that looked like it could have been worn by Karla from . The only problem was that since I don't have much and really any chest, the dress seemed to show what little cleavage I have .

That floral vest that I have meant to finish sewing up last summer was finally completed sometime last month. After months and months of looking at the half sewn piece of fabric, I finally decided to just cut the crap and finally complete it and here it is!!

And I did a little shopping today for some beauty products. Well actually I didnt really find anything good except my wonderful and absolutely favorite lipgloss ever which is C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Lip Tint! How can I state something so simply amazing??

The gloss on top is my old one that I was squeezing the living day light out of!

And also while I was in South Carolina and Savannah a few days ago I bought these lovely baby pink wayferer sunnies. They're not real Ray-Bans but I couldn't over the fact that they were in the cutest little pink shade.

CIAO!!

last day of Marzo...

2009-03-31T20:04:00.000-07:00

Yes it is the longest month of the year or at least it feels that way. Can't wait til the summer! And surprisingly I have not been that sleepy lately. I guess that's
2+ cool points for muah. And here is the song I've been listening to all month. It is uber addictive!

Lykke Li: Little Bit

I actually named one of my previous posts off of the first line she says in the song "Hands down, I'm too proud for love"..It's so true because that's just how I am...SOOOO not vulnerable :D

And this is a repitive outfit from way back in August!

Nylon Mexico's editorials Feb. and Mar..

Like always, Nylon never seems to disappoint :D
So this week felt like a whole entire month. I am incredibly exhausted but yet have still found the time to BLOG. I have been told over several times this week that I put WAY too much pressure on myself. And with me knowing this is true I never get to accomplish all of the things I have planned on doing like sewing some tote bags and vests for Spring&Summer, as well as fixing my sewing machine that doesnt work the way the instruction booklet tells it to. I guess that is why I am not a big fan of electronics. All I need is my cell phone, ipod, laptop, and digital camera and I am certainly good to go. But since I have yawned about 1208656 times in the past 15 seconds, I think I will just put an END TO THIS POST!

VINTAGE CARDIGAN, VINTAGE COLLARED TOP, LEGGING, NINE WEST COMBAT BOOTS, FOREVER 21 HEADBAND

URBAN OUTFITTERS TEE, VINTAGE SKIRT, HAT;TARGET, URBAN OUTFITTER CANVAS SNEAKERS

Now I should have posted these photos in January, but with my hectic schedule I've been abandoning my bloggy and have not been able to upload pics. But off of the depressing side, I have peeped out some Paris style from Lucky magazine.

As someone stated in a comment on the website Parisian style has: simpler hair, less make-up, more scarves!

Ans for some reason I really like this pic that I found on Nylon mag's website. It's Nylon at some party in Vegas..

february passed by and still no muah..

GEESH,, I haven't done an outfit post since August. I am so ashamed!! :(

No time,, No fun.

2009-01-06T19:29:00.000-08:00

So it's 10:30 on the dot and I'm not in the "go to bed" mood. I'm listening to "Tears Dry on Their Own" by Amy Winehouse, which is by the way on Marc Jacobs myspace page. First day black to classes and I was so bored. Went to sleep in art. That was such a wonderful nap, especially since my dream was lovely as well ;)
i would do an outfit post but I'm not in the uploading mood. I want to go back to Urban Outfitters to get that rusty olive green canvas backpack that was in the Mens section. And back to American Apparel to get that cylinder gym like bag that was in metallic-y Ice Blue. But of course my cheap but never wants to buy anything, but stuff that I see on the sale rack. Argh so horrible.

But yeah, here are some of black&white photos, that I found while being a computer nerd surfing the web.

My wonderful Egypt.

So yeah that's all for tonight..But hey at least I posted and didn't be a backstabber to my blog.
Ciao ♥♥♥lola,,

Peeping the Streeat: Part ll

2009-01-05T11:28:00.000-08:00

I was simply exhausted last night to finish my post of my fave looks from streetpeeper.com. There are now either 9 or 10 photos to give my commentary about.
By the way, all of these pictures of the people photographed are in my beloved New York City.

I like everything about this look but the super strappy heels are not hitting me right. I have a strappy heel phobia, and I feel that they have a 2002 look look to them. I prefer more structured heels like these

I like the way she has the different shades of gray all in one outfit, instead of matchy matchy whic. And those gray suede looking oxford heels are heaven. The white also helps alot because I think the outfit would look a tad bit dry and boring without it because of all the gray.

You may argue with me saying that this is tacky, but I love it because it's so bold. The ruched, structured shoulders with the ty-dye mix of green, brown, and a tad bit of orange makes the top even better. And the way she paired it with the white pencil skirt and the tights with the runs and tears is great!

*gnoring the blurriness of the pic*. That skirt is stunning. I can't remember if it's Missoni or night, but I think it is. I love how she paired the leather jacket with the multicoloed skirt. The only thing that's bothering me with this, are those heels. But luckily they are T-straps, so I guess it's not that bad.

Ahh I am absolutely loving the detailing of her outfit! I'm not sure if that's a top and bottom or just dress but she looks so chic. And I approve of her heels. Now of course I always have to find something wrong with her outfit, but that bag is so off. The polkadot design and the red are not complimenting her wonderful outfit very well. But all in all, I guess this look a 8 and a half.

This man looks so well put together. His cuffed skinny jeans are great! And those shoes make me want to melt. I just wonder where he got that silver "21" weekender bag from?

Ahaha her laughing face is priceless. Me being the "cardigan-crazy gyal" I am, that black scoop-neck one looks lovely with the opaque burgandy tights and high waisted skirt! Job well done :)

Not much to really say about this, except that her blazer is neat and fits her and her outfit well. But I'm not so excited about thatt red bag...

And to finish off this post, I have a girl who wore this neat outfit to Fashion Week. Most of the people on here are at Fashion Week, but I just wanted to point her out. She looks well put together "Fashion Week attire apppropriate". That's not real but I like to say that alot :p.Ahaha, there's nothing I can really say about this except that..idk.

Alright, that's enough for today. I'll post maybe later :)
Leave me some comments please! Ciao :D ♥♥♥

Peeping the Streets,,

2009-01-04T20:34:00.000-08:00

I keep on abandoning my beloved blog. But anyways, I was browsing one of my fave websites to see people's personal style all over the world, streetpeeper.com, and I browsed my hometown's looks of the people in New York City. There were tons of ridiculous looks, but I will hopefully post those later on. Ther's alot of inspiration that you can find on Streetpeeper, especially if you're looking for lookings from all over the world. It's not a super trendy website or a wanna be "Vogue" website. It just is what it is.

The contrast of the full and baggyness at the lower part of the outfit and the almost fitted blazer and loose white tee do look well together. And that plaid is not too annoying or ridiculously bold. But I can't tell if that is a fedora she is wearing or not?

The way she has put the black and navy together is quite neat. I have attempted to pair navy and black together and it never seemed to work. The white in the outfit also seperates the two dark colors very well.

I have always loved jodphur pants but I just never knew how to wear them. The blazer is paired well with it, I just think the frills make it look like too much is going on. But she wears it well.

This man pairs the purple with the gray and dark blue well. He looks effortless and is by-the-way toting an organic shopping bag. Go figure!

Though many may argue with me saying that this man looks ridiculous, you have to admit that he does make the Urban-In-The-City look nice. And he's not afraid to tote a bag that is in fact oversize and green. The bag by the way looks like the one I was about to purchase from American Apparel.

Her pixie cut is absolutely adorable. The half peacoat and straight-leg loose trousers do go well together especially with blue button down

I can't tell if that's a romper or just a dress but it looks nice anyway. The only thing that's bothering in this outfit is the gold metallic oversize bag. I absolutely hate metallic bags because they are so Teeny Bopper-ish ya know?

All I have to say is that she looks sooo chic!

I am a big houndstooth fan, explaining why I have a houndstooth trench coat. This young lady seems to pull of the purple houndstooth with a voluminous skirt excellent. She kept it simple and chic with only black accessories.

Hey don't you think that the scenery also makes this peach and olive green outfit even better. And I'm totally in love with that uber oversized weekender bag!! Does Urban Outfitters sell any that big?

Ahh for some reason, I think she pulls off this Bumble-bee like yellow and black outfit off so well. I would love to wear those leggings by themself also!

*I'm actually starting to get sleepy so I'll post the other 9 or 10 photos tomorrow! It is 1 in the morning so I need to get some sleep, especially since I like too stay on the computer extremely late! Ciao and comment this post please,,

it doesn't matter, do the dance, do the dance!

2008-12-25T14:51:00.000-08:00

....the way you move is a misery. Well I think that's what they're saying in D.A.N.C.E. by Justice, which was my favorite song last year. And today I recieved my new digital camera. It's the Nikon Coolpix S210! I was so excited I already uploaded pics to the Computer.

And yes those are rollers in my hair! Bahaha I'm trying not to put so much heat on my hair every day so instead of curling my hair with a Flat Iron, I simply roller set my hair every night. So in the morning my hair has a nice curl to it! Aha I hate to sound like an "I used this product____, and the results were AMAZING commercial, but it's the truth.

And has anyone noticed how much "designers are embracing the metallics this season"?!?!

Arghh I am tired of being broke! I need cash now. Since we are having a three-day weekend (Monday off), there's an extra day for me to bring in those clothes I have to Rag-O-Rama. That way they'll give me money for those 4 pairs of skinny jeans I'm bringing and I can go to H&M to get those cardigans! Good plan, eh? I wish those skinny jeans could still fit me but I probably haven't worn them in like a year! There is a solid black pair, solid white pair, distressed gray pair, and a faded black pair. I just miss them so much! My closet looks so empty without them! I;m also giving them my brown wedges and two pairs of khaki shorts. The highest amount of money I hope they give me is at least $20. If they give me like less than $10, I will never attempt to bring them anything after that, and another vintage/thrift store can enjoy my clothes!
I also miss my camera. We were like BFF's! And I'm going to a concert on Saturday night and I'll be camera-less :(... No camera means not many outfit posts to look forward to so instead it's whatever.

anyway.....

Look at Nylon Magazine's new billboard's in Japan. I think they are so creative and Nylon, except not as vintage-y as they normally are.
www.nylonmag.com

I miss you Baby.....................Arizona Green Tea of course!

Well this is enough posting for tonight. I have a really long day tomorrow
:)

Another post for Septiembre.

2008-09-30T14:03:00.000-07:00

Since I only have two posts for September, I thought it was sad that I was supposed to be a blogger but only posts twice a month. But to get off of that topic, one thing that has been annoying me lately is all this crappy music on that radio that they want to call Hip-Hop. Like come on!!! Like rapping about "what's up with that cookie" has no skill to it what-so-ever, and just because it has a so-called "hype" beat does not mean that the rappers have any skill. I think it's sad how guys can degrade women on a song, but yet we (not actually me) are running around singing/ rapping to it like it's just so great how they are disrespecting us in a different matter. Another thing that is not fair about it is that rappers like Soulja-Crap (soulja boy) can get so much airplayoff of rapping about a girl's "Donk" or "boootymeat". It's pitiful. While artists (people who make art-not crap- in the form of music) like U-N-I can only win MTV's VMA Best Breakout Artists. They are my new fave Hip-Hop groups/artists. I also like The Cool Kids, Gym Class Heroes, Soul-ish, etc.

Outfit Post-y Thing??? Yes Ma'am...or Sir lol.

Cardigan: Urban Behavior
Tank: some store in Canada
Skirt: F21
Sneakers: Bitten by SJP (Sarah Jessica Parker)
Pins: random stores
beret: vintage
bag: vintage

So that day, I spent the night at my friend's house and then we went to the movies to see House Bunny. blah blah blah. I haven't laughed at a movie in awhile but it was hilarious, kind of like Superbad or The Fourty-Year Old Virgin. You had to think fast in order to understand the jokes. That's probably the last time I did something fun other than go to football games, which I have no clue what's going on in them anyway ahaha.
And that trash really stunk!! Like really bad!

This statue thing..??...is a new art exhibit in New York City..."L- is for the way you look at me, O- is for the only one I need, V- is very,very extraordinary, E- is even more than anyone you can adore"
Isn't that statue and song both beautiful. The next time I go back to the Big Apple I have to see it!

Comments and I'll try to post again as soon as possible

That lovely leather.

2008-09-28T09:07:00.000-07:00

Hey, remember in the previous post I said I would finish my, UO, AA, and gojane.com wishlist, well I am now. I happen to check my blog everyday hoping for more comments but if you visit my blog why not comment?!?! But I'm gonna be polite and just lt it go. So anyways, I've been up to the same ol' same ol'...dance and school. But there's one thing that has been kicking me in the butt....being broke. There are some many things I would like to purchase for that Fall and Winter, but no $$$ equals no moccasin boots, corduroy skinnies, chunky cardigans, or studded jewelry!!
So I've decided the best way to get money right now is to send all those clothes I haven't worn to my fave vintage/thrift store Rag-O-Rama. Maybe i could bring in the clothes to trade them in or just get cash. I'm thinking both right about now, because I do want some vintage pieces but I want to stop by H&M to get some of the things that I saw on their website like that Leather High-Waisted Skirt!!! That skirt makes me speechless...and you would not believe the price when I tell you it...$10 frigen dollars!!! OMG I thought my contacts were acting up when I saw the price, it was like un-frigen-believable. I basically scared everyone in the house with my loud screech.
Oh yeah and before I finish that wishlist I have to show you guys one of the ouftit pics that I have leftover. I just happened to be going through my small, stuffed closet and decided to make an outfit for the heck of it...

Cardigan: vintage
Skirt: F21
Tank: some store in Canada
Headband: F21

So today, I went out even though I had like 3 homework assignments because my sister had something for her Debutante thingy and we stopped by a SuperTarget. Surprisingly there was one since there as nothing around there except for...well nevermind, NADA. I was in desperate need for some new black eyeliner since I ran out like 3 weeks ago :) Even though I was broke, my mom bought it for me and I got another Audrey Hepburn portrait to put on my wall!!! I was so excited because it was on sale for $7.48. Call me cheap if you want but that price was just waaaayyyyy to good to be turned down! I mean like coming form its price being $29.99 to $7.98 that is frigen awesome!
Oh yeah, I forgot about that Darn wishlist..........Well here it is:

...From UO.

..American Apparel boyfriend cardigan.

...American Apparel knee-high socks.

...American Apparel striped crewneck tee.

...Gojane.com brown oxford heels.

Wooh, that was a long title. But hey I'm back, having not posted in a month. Its just that I have been so busy from school to dance that I have no time to blog or even check my Myspace(www.myspace.com/lola2thecity_). And the worst thing happened to me last week!.....my camera screen broke! GRRR. So obviously that means not many outfit posts, but since I have so many leftover outfits pictures that you guys haven't seen yet I'll be using those.
So right now I'm listening to Bittersweet Faith-by Bitter:sweet. They're music is so sensual and relaxing. It's good to listen to when your at home late at night maybe stressed about something or you just need to relax. This song is new fave by them other than "Our Remains".

V-neck tee: Target
Skirt: Forever 21
Shoes (not shown): vintage

Me being the shopping/wishlist fanatic I am, I once again had to show you all the clothing items I long for form Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, and gojane.com. All the things from Urban Outfitters are on sale, being I am such a cheapo. But everything else is regular priced :)

...I am literally in love with these jeans by Cheap Monday. I would love to pair it with my motorcycle jacket and maybe some studded booties...

...The thing I love about the skirt is the way the denim fabric looks distressed and the zig-zag stitching down the middle. Job well done!

...I would absolutely love to add this henley-style cardigan to my wardrobe. The looseness of it sets it aside from the usual Boyfriend-cardigan.

I have to go now but I'll add the clothing items from American Apparel and gojane.com soon!

in a long time.

2008-08-15T19:22:00.000-07:00

hiyaa! i havent posted an outfit post in a long time, well like i said in the previous post...in over a month.
Over the summer break i purchased some new pieces to add to my wardrobe and i also made a canvas tote bag with a big front pocket(pics soon).
One of my fave pieces is my striped cardigan that i got on sale at Target for $5.80!!
Its crazy by how cheap i am but when i saw it i was like "OMG a cardigan for $6.00". The only thing wrong about it was that it only came in a medium and i wear either a small or extra small. But then it hit me that the cardigan would look nice as an oversized cardi, so I bought and i absolutely love it!

...
[I dont really like the second pic much but i just wanted to show you guys a close up of the cardigan]

Another outfit that i really like that i wore over the was an outfit which included my: turqouise wictorian button down, hand-me-down multicolored skirt, and my brown Girl Scouts belt. If you read my blog youll probably recognize the skirt from my post on my sme of my Summer Break outfits.
I really didnt wanna wear the skirt long so I pulled it up to under my chest and wore it as a mini skirt.

[[comment please!]]

ive been gone :(

2008-08-14T20:10:00.000-07:00

Hiya everyone! If you read my blog, youll notice that I havent posted in over a month!! Now in between the time of me being gone ive been busy shopping (on my birthday and for back to school) and I transfered dance studios again, so now I dance at Dancemakers of Atlanta. I havent started yet but my first class is on saturday from 12:30-5:00. Im in junior and senior company, because of my age but i prefer not to get into that right now! And my dance schedule is also super crazy and hectic. Here it is:
Monday- 6:00-9:00
tuesday- 6:00-9:00
thursday- 6:00-9:00
saturday- 12:30-5:00
Okaaay so the crazy part is is that i soon as i get out of school ill basically have to go straight to dance and that means not alot of time for homework.
And another thing new in my life is that I go to a new school because i no longer attend the performing arts school that I recently went to last school year. Ive been getting alot of snobby/snotty looks from girls and that can get annoying but i really dont care because theyre not importnat in my life and i finnally figured how to open my locker!! :p

Now since I can never do a post without having pics in it heres some pics that i found on the computer and i loveee:

Hello strangers! Im sorry that Ive been such a horrible horrible horrible blogger. My excuse this time??: My computer wont let me upload pics so it was really no point in blogging. Thats a bad one isnt it but hey im sorry. So anyways, here are sum pics of my Summer 08 outfits! I hope you enjoy them and please comment! <3

So this is an outfit that i wore to my little brothers baseball game. The colors dont really fit the whole summer vibe but I really felt the need this wear this dress.
dress: thrift store Rag-O-Rama
scarf: given to me by my mother
gladiators: Forever 21
cat pin: given to me by my mother

I really dont have a clue about my pose, i couldnt really think of anyhting else to do or maybe i just wanted to have an abstract pose. But anyways, this is the outfit that i wore to a Graduation Party way back in May. I wasnt really trying to go for a Boho look but if you wanna call it that then okay.
t-shirt: forver 21
skirt: (hand-me-down)
necklaces: bill hallman store, forever 21
belt: some store in Canada
bracelets: some mall store

This is an outfit that i wore 2 my cuzins house-warming. It wasnt a formal get-together so i didnt have to dress up. The scarf i made myself, which came form an old, raggedy bandana. The hippie headband is actually a belt that i got from a pair of shorts.
top:wet seal
shorts: some store
hippie headband: (came from a pair of shorts)
scarf: (made by me)
necklace: some store

This outfit is the same one asthe one above. I jus added so you could get a closer view of my lovely headband! Ciao!

COMMENTS PLEASE???

mini bicycles.

2008-05-29T19:08:00.000-07:00

hey! omg i prob havent posted in like a month but my computer was really fxcked up so i couldnt post but i will have an outfit post coming soon! but in this post i will be displaying these different patterns that i found on Nylonmag.com...Enjoy!!!

The thing that really captures me about this pattern is that I have no clue what it is. It could be waves with a twist or

This bicycle pattern has a certain 3- dimensional feel to it because of the light blue and red clash. Maybe if I throw on some 3-d glasses these little bicycles on the tee wil run all over my head again.

comments??

designers all tied up.

2008-05-22T11:44:00.001-07:00

This upcoming season designers have been obsessed with ruffles. But their latest obsessions have been bows.

For some odd reason this bow looks like it suppose to fit across the chest area but the bow was to large. But anyway the mettalic rainbow pattern finishes off this piece well.

I honestly dont really know what to say about this piece, which is by Marni, but oddly like it.

My fave designer designed this piece: Marc Jacobs! The bow is a tad different from the regular, cliche bow that we all know of. The black and white in the dress looks really neat because of the disformed squares (or rectangles),that are the patterns of course.

This piece is from Lanvin's Fall Collection. The bow top is fabulous and I love how its so loose instead of a stiff straight bow so that it has more body and you can actually move in it.

it was better.

2008-05-14T18:27:00.000-07:00

Im going through another fashion phase: The Hippie phase. But my fave is the hippie headband!

Sorry about my hideous expression on my face. BUT pay attention to it, just my outfit.

t-shirt: sum mall store
dress:forever 21
tights: capezio( my dance tights)
gladiators: forever 21

pieces that form one outfit.

2008-05-12T19:44:00.000-07:00

I really like the contrast of this dress with the wide V-neck and hawaiin flowers. Uber pretty for summer. I happened to find this top which is from Stella McCartney! (i luv stella!)

What I really find interesting about this high waisted skirt from Urban Outfitters, is that well its denim! And is it me or does the belt area look like metallic denim, lol?

These shoes are from Tory Burch and what i love about them is the low chunky heel. But I of course always have to have add my little two sense, which is that it would look better with maybe a wooden heel instead of basic black. Do you agree or not?

Outfit of the Day

satin top: Forever 21
torquise tank dress: Wet Seal
jeans: hand me downs from Old Navy
shoes: Charlotte Russe
bag: Vintage Coach bag from my mother

I would have to say tha my outfit today was kind of simple. And my new obsession with my clothing is cuffing my jeans! It adds a cool, beachy feel to my outfits...it it's not as hot as regular jeans!

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK??
