anyone but LeAnne, hmph!

after finally seeing the finale part 2 of Project Runway... im actually disappointed. and ya know what? this is not the first time. i was utterly disappointed the season when it was Uli and Michael Knight, and that rocker wanna be won. BOO! i actually wrote a letter to Project Runway, thats how PO'd i was. They need to step this finale bs up! bc once again, I AM DISAPPOINTED BY THEIR CHOICE FOR WINNER, Ms. HEIDI KLUM, NINA GARCIA, AND MICHAEL KORS!!! c'mon TIM... you knew better than that! Anyways.... not that i dont think that LeAnnes' collection wasnt pretty but, thats all it was... pretty! no excitement! no pizazz! kinda... BOOOOORRRING! whatEVS!! Kenleys was DARING!!! oooooh, i like that! something that NO ONE WOULD HAVE ON!!! looove it.

kenley looking goofy as always, lol.

holiday party dress, id freak!

meet the sex kitten in me ;) rair!

just being dimed out shopping on Fifth Ave, oww!

the dress i want to wear at my 25th themed birthday party :)

idk, where id wear it or if id wear it. but its FUN!!!

and KORTO!!! i loooved it. shes alll about her culture and i support that to the fullest. embrace everything that you are and everything that you want to be. i loove the fact that she had that double, silky, "asian bun". smart look. oh, Korto. i know you wanted it baddd. but, you had supporters there. and your hubby wasnt too bad on the eyes, either. ooowwww. get it girl! yum!

my girl, Korto!

its cute. fun, flirty. fun in the sun type.

HEY DANIELLE, GIRL!! killin it in the green. shake ya money maker.

this is just pretty! i love the sihollete tho. and that fan is just dime, lol.

its not even worth showing LeAnne's... come on now. she was inspired by WAAAAVESS... oooh! great! and what else? nothing. she IS going to be known as the petals girl. pshhh. im not hating by any means. but it was just BORING! BLAH! NEEEXXXT!! whatevs. i know that Korto and Kenley's crazy self will go far, or atleast further than the project runway finale! they DESERVE it! yes, i am kinda bitter. SO, im going to work now. hmph!

until next time, peace <3.

how could i forget about Helmut Lang?

oops, i forgot about this one. im sure it was just another day at work, when the weather was still toasty. and i took a couple of pics of myself. i just dont know what happened to me posting it. oh, it might have been that month long vacation thing i was on away from my oh-so-beloved blog. oops! my shirt was a fav that i was dying to have ever since i saw him in Barneys Co-Op. damn, i needed it in my life. its a lime green, phenom by Mr. Helmut Lang. I must say, the things i purchase by him, become a fav. idk what it is. its something about the swag it adds to my closet, lol. H.Lang outdid himself with this basic, batwing, vneck tee. HEART HIM, ...yea, Lang, too! (but i was talking about my shirt lol. shame!) paired with a denim, pencil skirt from H&M, a brown skinny belt, and my bronzer bag :) hmmm. what do you think? bc i think she's a hottie. lol. what has gotten into me lately? idk . whatevs. if you arent going to tell yourself you're a hottie, who will? lol. now that sounds pathetic. lol. whatev. lol.

idk what is about clothes that just makes me quiver. when i put on an outfit, that im totally comfortable in annnnd i know i look cute. damn, my whole attitude changes. and i think thats a good thing, tho! clothes make you feel better about yourself. think about it... if you are wearing a bummy pair of sweats and you run into someone that you'd rather not see, you'll think "S%*#! why did i have to run into him/her...let alone, LOOKING LIKE THIS?!?!" but, on the flipside. if you run into that same person that you do not want to see and you are wearing your fav pair of jeans, that hug the booty juuust right and your hottest shoes, looking dimed out to the fullest. you would be like "heyyyyy! how are you doing?" or giving that i-know-i-look-hot smirk doing your Naomi Campbell walk away. lol. thats why i love me some clothes. besides the fact they do wonders for an unflattering day, they boost your confidence like no other. a wardrobe confidence booster is better than your man telling you, "you look good, baby." you already know, he thinks you're cute! but when YOU know YOU look cute, in a banging outfit...whhaaat? cant tell me NOTHING!! ha. the end, lol.

until next time, peace <3.

sweaters, tights, and reality tv.

during the week, my life isn't that interesting. i wake up, eat breakfast (sometimes), shower and go to work. work all day, which is fun sometimes. the people i work with are characters, love them!! lmao, no really! im laughing that hard bc if you knew them, you would too. just imagine the craziest people you know, locked in one place for eight hours a day, EVERYDAY! you would laugh at them, too! it gets to be intense. i love it tho. love my job, ha! anyways. after work, i come home, plop myself in my bed and indulge in whatever reality show is on at the time. im a junkie. what can i say? THE HILLS, "OMG" says Whitney! i really do despise Spencer's existence. please do not get my started. and i relate to LC soo much, its ridic. but lately, shes been blowing mine. but i still heart the heffa. lol. thas mean, but i say it with love. but really? why is LO being so heartless (ahhh, HEARTLESS by KANYE WEST is the shhhh---!! DOWNLOAD ASAP!) ? its unnecessary. whatevs. i love that show. besides the hills, Project Runway is my show, altho i STILL cant catch the finale. i know who won but i want to see the whole thing. ill prob youtube it. what else? of course RACHEL ZOE and her whole squad, they areee ridic too. lol. and i dont know if you've every heard of intervention. NOW THIS SHOW...NOW THIS SHOW... is BEYOND RIDIC! its about all types of people that are addicted to all types of drugs, from alcohol or prescription drugs to homemade fixes. its crazy intense. ive been watching this show for like 2 years and im soo hooooked. whenever it comes on, im GLUED! LOVE REALITY TV! especially when its REAL! yum..

but today i was totally inspired by something i saw on the satorialist last night. and i was like heyy, i can do that. why not? i loved the fact that her whole ensemble was black and still casual. and she wore tights with sandals. gotta love a girl that takes risks. thats what fashion is all about. and im definitely pro-risk taking :) but my problem was, i didnt have a belted sweater like her. so, make do with what you do have. and in my case, i wore a big, chunky sweater. like hers. and kept all my under garments (aka a tshirt dress) and black stockings all black. and just like her, i took a risk and wore my chunky sandals with my tights. and not only was i comfortable. i was warm. anddd i was cute, if i do say so myself. toot toot!! but, after i went to work, i got many compliments on my look and i felt kinda good about my self. so i decided to take another group of pictures at night, just to see which came out the best. clearly, the day times ones did. but i had a little more fun taking the ones at night. lol. my mom took them for me and she was being extra goofy tonight. and now im getting text messages from my friends about going out tonight and im trying to contemplate should i change my cute outfit or should i just go with the flow and rock it? my friend said we're going to the hookah bar and shes looking very cas. soo, ill just put my flat, suede boots on and keep the rest of the get up, minus the belt. whatevs mannn. i do what i do. well, im going out to have some fun with friends. so, my reality tv junki-ism must wait until tomorrow night. man, i hope i dont miss anything good. but even if i do. EVERYTHING RE RUNS a gazillion times before the next episode so, im sure im good. and if not, you can always you tube things. gotta love technology.

until next time, peace <3.

stripes and blue.

after work, glendy and i decided to have a photo shoot. i guess it was the stripes and blue theme. i was rocking a very old express striped shirt, blue beater, and black skinnys WIIIIITH my sigerson morrison booties from the bullseye bodega. loving them. especially because i definitely did that good old 8 hour shift and the dogs were fine. looove that! and this is my friend glendy! say, hiiii glendy! shes rockin a veryyy cute boyfriend cardigan from the gap (ps. i need to borrow that bc im in love with it.) and her earnest sewn skinnys and flats. but, this is just the beginning. lol. glendy and i decided to have a photo shoot juuuust for you :) and this is what we came up with, lol. idk what we were thinking. clearly, it was a long day at work and we needed a way to unwind, so i guess this was it. ha! and we are right in front of the parking lot, people staring, customers walking by, and us just not caring. that's just what we do! JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE! see that's why shes the homie bc we just don't care. awww, and shes getting transferred to another location; teardrop, teardrop. but its cool, we still gon be tight, bc we are VIRGOSSS! oooooooh! i have a book called BLACK LOVE SIGNS and ooh is it intense. no, for real tho!

"The symbol of Virgo is the virgin, which represents purity, perfection, and chastity. In other words, Virgo people, for the most part, are as close to perfection as anyone can get. (HOLLAAA!) That's a very admirable trait unless you are on the receiving end of all their requirements and critical analyses in their quest for perfection. They criticize everything from how the toilet paper is placed on the dispenser to how the dry cleaners hang and press their shirts. ...Intellect rates high with Virgo people, both men and women. And they're easily misled.... Virgos are devoted and faithful to a fault. They simply do not have time to worry if they are on the telephone talking to companion number one or number two. Besides, remember their symbol, the virgin, representing purity? They are the Goody Two-shoes of the zodiac. Of course, they expect their partner to have integrity, devotion, loyalty, and all of the other wonderful traits that Virgos feel most people should aspire to. ...If you have your sights set on a Virgo, proceed with caution. They're not at all impressed with a winning personality, fine clothes, fine cars, or any other material trinkets. You have to present yourself in a ladylike or gentlemanly fashion before they will so much as give you a second look. ... Don't come on like gangbusters. The Virgo will want to get to know you first; if the Virgo cannot tolerate you as a friend, nothing else is likely to happen. And although you feel that your conversation is the bomb, that does not mean you'll get a warm response. They have to weigh and analyze everything before they respond or react. Don't take it personal affront; it is just the muted response of the ever-cautious Virgo. Virgo definitely wont react based on emotion. Any decision made by the Virgo, especially in the romance arena, will be from a practical standpoint and based on factual information. In other words, 'Just the fact, ma'am.' ... The key, though, is for them to get comfortable with you. Once they reach the comfort zone, they can be quite entertaining. They will keep you laughing with their dry sense of humor and critical insights. In the area of comedy, they can step toe-to-toe with the best of them. Move over, Chris Rock!" in the words of Thelma Balfour.

so basically what it comes down to... VIRGOS are the shhhhh--! and we are the best women, a man could find. and when you do come our way, cherish us because there are no others like us. of course, there are posers, but once you get to know them, you'll realize you have made a mistake. and you are IN FACT, with a poser, and not the real deal. and hopefully, you will be able to get out before its too late. lol. let me stop! haha. but what can i say? VIRGOS areee the BOMB DIGGITY!! (do you remember that phrase? i was in like 5th grade saying that! lol. )

"insert your name here, been fly since she was in the FIFTH GRADE!!!

until next time, peace <3.

idk, i think this is the week of inspirations. bc after i took two pics yesterday... (refreshing memories now.)

I.J) bc ive BEEN rockin it. homie, step your game up. LEEEETTT ME STOP!! i am ONLY joking. lol. so, whatevs. im rockin my high waisty from forever with the infamous braided belt. looooves her, although i know its time to replace, i just cant find anything that will compare or do all the justice, she has. wahhh! parting with this is too hard for me to handle. lets not talk about it then, right? yea i know. teardrop, sniffle. and my HUE, MARIGOLD TIGHTS :) she makes me smile, too! riiiight? and my booties from UO last year, so comfers.

until next time, peace <3.

autumn days.

so last night, as i was doing my daily blog stalking, lol. (it gets intense.) found this new blog, that i absolutely adore. its http://whatiwore.tumblr.com/ shes the best. i really relate to her bc shes in the NYC and shes loves what she loves, not because anyone else does. gotta love a girl that will DRESS TO IMPRESS THE MIRROR, sayyyy whatt?! so, i was looking through the archives and got inspired by her how-to-wear-boyfriend-jeans post. and lord knows ive been rockin mine, all day everyday with whatever i feeeeeel like it. but, she inspired me to make this a little GIRLIE-RRRR, hooow excited (said with MUCH sarcasm). and this is what i came up with.

pics taken before work, in my backyard.

gotta love the suburban life.

...right. so what i am wearing...

my boyfriends, duh. LITERALLY mens jeans. a white baby tee and a cardigan from BP, belted by the throwback THE LIMITED. oh, and my mary janes. love them. i think it was a success, don't you?

red light ... green light.

and this is me driving to work, hello! i know how to multi-task bc i'm rocking out to the old school at noon, too. my jam was DEFINITELY on. i remember. and then i got inspired to capture some Autumn beauty.

isn't she beautiful? look at the colors. inspiration for tomorrow, possibly.

... he's not! mr.traffic on the way to work is NOT cute. as myLIN says 'hes not the business.'

( p e e p ) the flannel. this is inspiration, ALRIGHT!

im definitely diggin this look! im in search of more flannel, minus the pick up truck. no offense to the hillbillies, but that's just not MY personal style. but the shirt, me likey. whatevs. so today was another good day at work. you know when you look good, you feel good. and when you feel good, you do good. daaamn! life IS good!
okay, i meant to post this last night. but i've been thinking about cutting my hair. i'm so over my hair. NO, i don't want the RIHANNA, altho i heart her. NO i don't want everyone else, short hair cut. i was looking through BAZAARs RUNWAY REPORT a couple of weeks ago, and came across this and had to catch my breath.

L E I G H L E Z A R K ! ! !

can i have that hair in my life?!

so now im completely obsessed. i definitely want this. i mean, its not that much different from my hair right now except, this is an actual style. id have the same length in the front, and the back would wisp, across my neck ever swiftly, and blow in the autumns breeze. DAAAAMN!! doesn't that sound goooood? RIIIIIIIGHT?!? but the only thing is, i don't do well with change... WITH MY HAIR. change my room around all the time. change my clothes five times a day. change my lifestyle. BUT MY HAIR.... GOOD HEAVENS NO! especially WITH SCISSORS. i cringe during TRIMS...do you hear me? i give instructions to my hair stylist EVERY TIME, it never fails. "dont get scissor happy, now!" no joke. this is a serious matter. and then on top of that, i have a massive, mess of curls. i would never be able to wear it curly. but... what im thinking is, i RARELY aka NEVER wear my hair curly in the winter, just bc i dont want to die from pneumonia, so if i do, its now or never. and im thiiiiinking, by the time the summer rolls around again, id have some type of length. and it would be good and healthy and ONE length instead of my God awful layers now. by the summer, i want my beyonce or halle's curly weave, minus the weave. im alll natural babaaaay. with that said, this new hair cut, would come with my natural hair color (or not bc its jet black) and i want a luxurious, rich, dark brown. im really loving the concept. but getting down to nitty gritty. id probably cry. no bullshit. but, in the end, i think it would be worth it. what do you think? come on now. i need help. ( yea, i know. all i need now is a couch and welcome to my IN TREATMENT session. love that show! )

(photos via style.com & thefashionspot.com)

DAAAAAYUM! she IS hot! can i be HOT?! I WANT TO BE HOT!!! lol. im still thinking about this but its more 70/30. i need to be at 85, at least! im getting there tho. but every time i see my ponytail, i bring it down a notch. im thinking, maybe just the dye job and buy a chi. idkkk. but i really want something different. HELP my HOTNESS! lol.

anyways. in the meantime, im sooo vibing with B. IF I WERE A BOY, SINGLE LADIESSS!! "do your homework"-wad.

going to bed. work in the am. who will i meet next? chris rock last week, young buck today. kanye anyone? ha. dreams are real, all you have to do is JUST believe. i wish it was that easy, lol.

until next time, peace <3.

"its a date."

MY SATURDAY NIGHT in CITY LIGHTS DATE WAS EXTREMELY FAB

(and adventurous) !!!

we went bar lounge hoppin in the city, just me and my lil bear, and boy oh boy was it intense. first we went to the LIVING ROOM at the W hotel. YUM! the ultimate underground chill spot in the city. perfect for a pregame. and lil bears apple martini was greattt!!! it actually had an apple slice, yummy :)

we're def going back. but after like 2 hours, we wanted to mix it up a bit, so we cabbed to the next spot, AVA LOUNGE at THE DREAM hotel. as soon as we got there, we like were like "whaat?! she should have got here earlier" that place was jumpin. but, for like 2 minutes bc it turned into WWII up in there... it was NUTS! and the place isnt even ghetto or anything. it was just the wrong place, at the wrong time. it wasnt a turn off to the place, just to the people. idk, id give it a second chance,tho. but after all of that, our buzz was killed and we needed a drink, so we just chucked it up and went to the pub down the block for our last drink of the night. lol. idk man, despite all that craziness, i had so much fun with lil bear. i heart her, we go back to 2nd grade maannn, passing notes about play dates when it was time to Drop Everything And Read, lol.

lol. we had a mini photo op in the THE LIVING ROOM... arent we cute?

i love lil bears safari theme. she was so dime. and i rocked my harem pants, with a beater, and my nine west round toes. i loved how we looked. so city-esque. "haaaaaated it"( in the IN LIVING COLOR voice). lol. okay, its time for me to go make some food. im craving a cheesesteak or a taco, but im CLEARLY not making that right now. 'fridge rummaging time.

until next time, peace <3.

breast cancer pink...

when i got in from work thursday night, my mom informs me that everyone is to wear pink for breast cancer friday. and i soo support that, but my only problem was... i have like 2 pink items in my closet. but youve got to work with what you have. i made my mom help me figure it out, but she just doesnt get my style. so she laughed at me as i tried options on. o well, i loved the outcome... do you? haha.

please excuse my face it was a long day at work and i was talking to my friend, who i havent spoken to in a while and they were telling me a very disturbing story. i wound up being funny but, clearly we didnt get to that point YET! lol.

so im wearing a pink and white pinstripe button up from jcrew (what did i tell you about their sales. whaat whatt!! haha) my james jeans cut off shorts. legging tights and flats from target. OH, AND THAT ARTWORK OF A NECKLACE THAT I LOVVVEEE... lets not say. its GORGEOUS THO! its my black rose necky :) and i heart it, i kno u do, too!

and these were taken after work, and running to the mall to get a pair of HAREM pants aka parachute pants that i have been obsessing over ever since i saw them in H&M.

my friend and i have a date to go to the city to catch up and scope out some established men bc we are so over these "little" boys, lol. and i could definitely wear them tomorrow, for our saturday night city lights date. but the only problem is, i cant figure out what to wear them with. i know i want to wear a round toe pump, and i only have one pair, my cobalt blue from nine west. and i think it would look hot and obvi with a very fitted top. but what top is the question...hmmm....

...sleeping on it.

until next time, peace <3.
