Hi there. I've been having strange nights of deep sleep followed by nights of full wakefulness. I wish my body would just make up its mind. I sometimes stay up, listen to itunes and revisit artists/songs I havent given time to in a while. The other night I listened to Julieta Venegas. Listening only reminded me how beautiful she is. She also plays a mean accordion, has awesome sense of style, and is a new mommy. She's just cute, talented, lovely, etc etc....

Anywho, one thing I really love about Julieta are her music videos. They seem always emit such a vibrancy and happiness. Mostly, I love the beginning of her "Bien o Mal" video- its just a little hopeful. Also, the lovely waify girls, the airy dresses and the flowers are all nice to look at of course. I would post the entire video, but after a while, it tapers off to uncomfortableness. The beginning shots will have to suffice.

Quizás, Quizás, Quizás....

I always talk about kitties here but never my own. Meet Martin-- She's a feisty little brat with a passion for snuggling. She's as light as a feather and a quick little runner. She is extremely vocal and has just about the sweetest, tiniest meow you've ever heard. Best of all, when ever I'm feeling sick, Martin will always be the first to lay with me and give me comfort.

I love you my dear Martin. Never change.

I'm feeling like a massive blahhhh. Every step I take makes me feel like my brain is about to slip out through my nose. Pictures of silly kittens make me feel better. At least a little...

Summerspace & dance

2010-08-05T18:35:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I wish I knew how to dance. I guess for a person as graceless and uncoordinated as I am that's kinda impossible. It doesn't mean I can't appreciate it however. I love images of these dances choreographed by Merce Cunningham. His work was pretty brilliant.

Catwomen

2010-08-05T17:56:00.000-07:00

I used to love watching Batman movies. I think I stopped right after the George Clooney one. I only watched it for Alicia Sylverstone. The girl can do no wrong in my eyes. She was Cher for gods sake.

Anyways, I just really love these pictures of Lee Meriwether as Catwoman in 1966.

And because Julie Newmar was pretty awesome herself, a picture of her loveliness to end this post.

To our loves...

2010-07-31T09:29:00.000-07:00

Man, I love this movie. How I wish I owned it.

Sandrine Bonnaire is just perfection in it. I would basically wear everything that she wears. Her hair is utter sweetness too. So much love.

I need this dress in my life.

<3 <3 <3

Speaking of other things that I love. My sister finally managed to catch a little kitten who's been lingering around our home for the past week. Poor little thing has been well fed and petted with care. I hope a home is out there somewhere for him. =^.^=

I had the best dream last night. For some reason I was hanging out with Sisqó the thong song man. Strangely, he was in full costume and looking like Chris Tucker in the fifth element. Basically he looked awesome. So we’re chilling out, and the conversation is as follows:

Me: Sisqó, why do you call yourself Sisqó?

Sisqó: …if I tell you, do you promise not to tell?

Me: Absolutely.

Sisqó: Well…Sisqó is an acronym.

Me: 0_0

Sisqó: I know…surprising isn’t it?

Me: OMG. But Sisqó, what does it stand for?

Sisqó: Listen carefully. Sisqó stands for Smelly like queso and bread

Me: *Clarity* that is amazing!

So amazing in fact that sometime along the night I woke up and recorded this revelation on my phone. The official copy of it was typed like this “smelly like wueso and bread”. I’m definitely loosing it…I was hanging out with Slqab apparently.

Why am I posting this here? Who knows. Why do I post about anything.

I have a headache now. Going to change offices today and going to the doctors later. Wooo -_-

I’ve been sitting here at work, and just can’t seem to shake this…

Alexander McQueen’s Spring /Summer 05’ was the first collection I saw from the designer. In fact, it was probably one of the first fashion shows I ever watched. His aesthetic and creativity singlehandedly produced and solidified my interest in fashion. To this day, McQueen still holds the spot as my favorite designer. Throughout the years, his collections have been the only ones which I continuously tuned into for Fashion Week.

I had to re-visit some of his work today and awe at this mans brilliance.

The holographic vision of Kate Moss still gives me chills.

RIP.

I want you always to remember me...

2010-01-28T13:42:00.001-08:00

Im so exited for this. and scared. I recently re-read Norwegain Wood. Although I loved it the first time, the thought of picking it up again made me nauseous. Its too delicate and agonizing.

"I can never say what I want to say,It's been like this for a while now. I try to say something, but all I get are the wrong words - the wrong words or the exact opposite words from what I mean. I try to correct myself, and that only makes it worse. I lose track of what I was trying to say to begin with. It's like I'm split in two and playing tag with myself. One half is chasing the other half around this big, fat post. The other me has the right words, but this me can't catch her." She raised her face and looked into my eyes.

"Does this make any sense to you?"

Chanel never does it for me. Ever. For some reason I’m strangely drawn to the couture collection though. I really just love the palette and the billowy look of the gowns.

Has Karl swayed me?...Hmm, we'll see...I want a pair of those tights though...

Deets. Deets!

It’s such a relief that the rain gave us a break over the weekend. Must brave it once more tomorrow but I think I can handle it. I mostly wanted the rain to go away so that I could try on this dress while the sunlight was able to shine through my room. I love those little watercolor looking bunnies. I didn't even take the time to smooth out the wrinkles :p

2010-01-18T10:06:00.000-08:00

Because I feel like picture spamming, here is a collection of some of my favorite images. I have prints of most of these--I have no clue how to display them however. hmmmmm

Yes, I know...I'm obviously in love with Mariacarla and Sasha.

“You’re walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring, and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you ‘Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?’ So you and the bear cub spend the whole day in each other’s arms, tumbling down this clover covered hill. Nice huh?”.

“Yeah. Really nice”.

“That’s how much I like you”.

I told myself that I wouldn't give in but I couldn't resist. I went and spent the Christmas money my boss gave me on the Rodarte Target stuff. I got the lace dresses in black and blush. They're pretty awesome I must admit. Even though I wont do anything for New Years, I think I might wear one. I deserve to bring in the new year feeling pretty and whimsy right? I also got a bathing suit, which I may add, looks awesome, but is just a bad idea all around. First, I don't swim. Ever. Second, its winter...on a more positive note however, it does look like lingerie so it just might have alternative uses...

On a totally different note, on my way to after-Christmas day sales, I came across an animal shelter. Initially, it always seems like a good idea to visit one. Seriously though, I cannot, ever step into a shelter again unless I have every intention to adopt a pet. It's just way too much depression for me to handle. Anyways, I have these sweet pictures to comfort me. I always told my sister that if I ever got a white cat, I'd name her Sasha Conchita. There were two Sasha's for me to play with yesterday :*)

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Sorry the pictures are craaaapy

Hope you all have a good New Years.

Wishful Thinking

2009-12-03T15:09:00.000-08:00

So when you're bored at work and listening to your office mate playing Coast Radio Christmas songs all day looong, what better thing to do than to make a holiday wish list?

I can't think of much that I'd like-except for mundane household appliances- but if I could, I wouldn’t mind having the following.

First up is this Erica Weiner feather bracelet from Bonadrag...I've been eyeing it for a while and thought it would be a nice addition to my small collection of feathery charms. I need something to lighten my spirits after all.

Lately, I've become enamored by coats with fur detailing. I usually don't like the furry look but I really love the style of this coat from Urban Outfitters. It’s subtle and the fur adds a sweet and cozy touch.

This doesn’t even need a reason why-just look at it! I was taking a little peak at the Rabid Fox rings on Fleathers Etsy and fell in love. I wish, I wish, I wish I could find this Bunny Love ring under my tree *sigh*.

Lastly- what makes me ooooh -500 Pencils! Just look at all those colors :*)

Great...now all I need is money...

I suppose my distraction derives from my inability to process words into vocal expression. I feel my mind absorbs a lot of information. People always ask to know what fills my thoughts. As I try to process and explain, I appear distracted and perplexed. It’s like im always playing a puzzle with words. I’m just trying to bring the pieces of my thoughts into coherent ideas. I wonder how to...

I'm still on the fence over Rodarte's latest collection. Part of me loves it and thinks its awesome and part of me thinks its a little sloppy. Leaning more towards loving it however.

Everyone has seen them already but nonetheless, I really love the images from the show. The colors are so acidic. It looks great against all the black.

Hello everyone! I keep meaning to update more but keep failing miserably. This past Thursday, I had an opportunity to visit the Huntington Library. I hadn't been there in years and didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Despite looking sweaty all day due to putting up with unbearable heat and humidity, me and my sister managed to have a really wonderful time.

We took around two hundred pictures, but just wanted to post a few from the day.

The Chinese and Japanese gardens were stunning. I love all the details that went into the construction.

I really like these pictures <3

Here are a couple from the rose garden, the cactus garden and the light section of the science museum.

I'm going to try my best to update more frequently :)

Outfit: basic Zara skirt and cardi, F21 Tank and Sandals.

Too late in the game...

Hello. Feels like its been soo long. I've been meaning to post but have found myself caught up in other stuff, I've also just been a little toooo lazy. Laziness + boredom is a lethal combination- It only makes me want to do some serious online shopping.

I really love these pieces from Devastee- just look at that sweet little racoon tee! Eeee

If there's one thing I need, its a new bag. I kinda like this bag from HOPE.

Thanks to Style Bubble, I really find myself wanting a couple of pairs of these House of Holland tights. Cant go wrong with that price.

Someone gets paid tomorrow so we'll see what happens...yah right.

Yesterday my sister and I decided to visit the Getty Museum- It was kinda on a whim since we had nothing better to do, but we ended up having a pretty good time.

We decided we'd be foreign tourists and took pictures of everything- I mean everything. I got a picture of some old mans butt.

Doesn't this look like Miley Cyrus' sister Noah, haha.

It was freezing cold up there, but it was worth shivering a little for the view of the day. It beautiful and allowed us to get some pretty good shots of the city.

I look terrible but whatever. Wearing F21 dress.

It’s been a while…My computers hard drive failed and I’ve been without for almost two weeks. Anyways I reinstalled it and am back in the game, kinda...

Because of my lack of computer boredom, I tried to do an outfit shoot to post my outfit and failed miserably. I should have worn a FML shirt instead. It ended up being a blurry twirling around/funny face shoot instead. The results are below...

I'll have to practice getting full body shots- thats sounds pervy, full. body. shots, haha.

Outfit: F21 Floral dress, Levis Denim jacket, OTBT Grey boots

Sunday was really fun. My boyfriend took me to LACMA and I got to see some really great stuff. I enjoyed several pieces, but really loved the miniature house at the Your Bright Future exhibit. It’s awesome how much detail was placed into making it look as real and inhabited as possible.

This image does not do it justice. You cant really see all the intricacy involved.

We also saw one of those sculptures of Michael Jackson and Bubbles. I wanted a picture of it but unfortunately a museum guard was standing nearby…we did sneak pictures of other stuff though, so take that. Take that.

Afterwards we went next door to the La Brea tar pits. I’d never been there before but I’ve always had an small desire to visit just because I remember that Vada and her cousin/boyfriend went there in My Girl 2 (I love that movie). The tar pits were pretty cool I guess…they smelled pretty bad though. They also have to control the tar seepage that’s popping up all over the grassy area. That’s a danger to shoes everywhere.

I'd say it was a fun weekend. Sorry for the picture spam. Best picture though was...

Cut it out

2009-06-25T09:29:00.000-07:00

Its almost time for my summer dresses to come out of the closet. Most of my dresses are pretty simple however. I really wished I had a couple pieces with a bit more pizzazz. Right now, I'm really loving these dresses with the peek-a-boo cut out back - so sexy! I feel like backs are all too often underused (at least in my case). I think I'll have to invest in a couple dresses soon...

Me and my boyfriend somehow ended up in the forest this past weekend. I can't say I was too keen initially, but it was seriously amazing. We got to see cute little deers, some giant squirrels, and some big horned sheep ramming away. It was great. My favorite part of the day however, was looking down into the clouds. It was quite magical.

Woe is me

2009-06-14T19:59:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows me, knows I's a handbag freak. I can't say how much time I spend looking at bags and seeing how people work them with their outfits. If it weren't for one little drawback, I think I'd be in serious trouble in handbag expenses. Truth of the matter is, I CANNOT stand the smell of leather. I feel like it sticks to my hands and no matter how many times I wash them, the smell lingers all day. It just makes me feel itchy. I still mourn over the loss of my Marc Jacobs bags. The smell drove me nuts though.

Am I crazy? I can't be the only one who feels like this. It breaks my heart because I really really need a new bag, and I do not like the look of fabric bags and really have a beef with fake leather. Most of it is so tacky looking.

In my dream world, Id love to get a little gray bag like these:

How beautiful. I think I want to cry...

If you have suggestions, help a girl out. I've been searching for a decent bag for about 6 months now. No joke. HELP, I cant carry the same canvas tote for life. Am I doomed?

I just saw this yesterday for the very first time and I thought it was beauteous <3

In other news. I had the worst night last night! I got no sleep. In my delirium, I thought I made the amazing connection of discovering that Martha #2 from Arrested Development ='s the mom from lifetime classic Odd Girl Out. My mind was blown like whoa until I checked imdb first thing this morning and discovered that they not only are completely different persons, but that they also look nothing alike. Anyways, if you haven't seen Odd Girl Out, do yourself a favor and watch that masterpiece. My favorite part is when the girl chops of all her hair.

OK I was looking through my files and I realized that I have a lot of Mariacarla Boscono pics. I mean a lot. I think it is because she has a funny nose. Also, she has a pretty big gap between her eyes. I like that.

This reminds me of a story. In my freshman algebra class in high school, there was this kid (I think his name was Raul-who cares??) and lets just say he had a very interesting face. Sidepoint: he was a senior in 12rrrrrr ... Everyone would always be like "who da hell does that du look like" and I'd be like, "duh, he looks like a hammer shark..." which was followed by a simultaneous "YESSS!". I mean durr come on, it was obvious... anywho heres a sketch of him for better visualization:

Actually, this drawing does not provide an accurate depiction. This drawing is way too cute...
