Say Goodbye.

The Hills is coming to an end. Next Tuesday, I believe, is the last epsiode. Ever since Lauren left I have not watched like I used to. I mean I'll sneak a peak if there's nothing on TV and to be perfectly honest day time television doesn't have the best programming if you're not into HSN, judge shows, or Jerry Springer. :)

The weather is still in the 90's where I live. Ugh. I hate being this warm. Its a challenge just trying to stay hydrated. :) What's the weather like where you live? I skipped tennis today because I almost died yesterday. The head guy is trying to run us into the ground and he's like, "What're you going to do when you're tired in your third set? Are you just going to go home?"

I think the heat makes him cranky. He's normally a lot nicer. Just saying. :) Hot weather just makes me lethargic. I want to sit around and doing nothing. Kind of like what my cats are doing right now. They're all just flopped on the ground. So cute!

Well, due partly to my lethargic-ness [i don't think that's a word] and partly due to the fact that I'm going to start on my summer assignments for school [booo!] I've decided to do an "I love my..." post. They're my favorite.

So enjoy Lauren Conrad and her Miu Miu Double Cross Platform Sandals. I already did a post about these shoes but she had soo many cute outfits that I decided to two.

"L.A. Candy" Signing in Austin, Texas.
Wearing Miu Miu Double Cross Platform Sandals, Linea Pelle Vintage Belt, and Lorrick Nikki Dress.



Shopping at Confederacy
Wearing: Miu Miu Double Cross Platform Sandal, Jennifer Zeuner Large Intial Necklace, Members Only Liquid Leggings, Elizabeth and James Cohen Shirt, and Rebecca Minkoff Studded Clutch.



Luau
Wearing Miu Miu Double Cross Platform Sandals, Chanel Jumbo Classic Bag, Jennifer Zeuner Large Initial Necklace, Theory Gabe B Taylor Jacket, Floral Mini Skirt, and Simple Black Tank.

Today is going to be a work day. I can feel it. :( But I'm to reverse my procrastination ways. I was literally doing all my summer assignments at the last minute last year. I think I turned in my History thing two days late because I read the date wrong. Ooops!

That's not going to happen this year. Happy summer! :) Bye.

Good Ole Navy

I started training for XC yesterday. Ran two miles. I. Am. So. Sore. I'm just lying down. I don't even want to think about moving. Not going to move until much later. I'd laugh but then my ab muscles would hurt. :)

Anyway. I love the nautical look. Its summer so I'm thinking of the ocean and sand. Maybe its because my dad was in the Navy. Idk. But I don't like the super obvious and sometimes tacky nautical look. I think Blake and Jessica are subtle and sohpisticated. Its not over the top but both of these ladies are sporting looks with just enough nautical flare. :)


Blake Lively. Wearing Henly Tank, Navy and White Smythe Jacket, Skinny Jeans,
and Peep-Toe Pumps.


Jessica Alba with Cash Warren in Los Angelos. Wearing Navy and Blue Coat, Black
Cardigan, Simple White Top, Dark Washed Skinny Jeans, and Red Ballet Flats.

How cute are Jessica's flats? Adorable. :) I'm just going to sit around today. I might run a mile today but I don't know. I need to get my stamina up. I don't know...I'll think about it. Have a great Tuesday. Pretty Little Liars is on today! Yay! So excited. :D

Wonderfully Wu

I still think Jason Wu is a genius and here is yet another post in honor of his brilliance! Click here to see my first one. I know I just recently posted about him but I decided I'd do it again. One: because I have to keep writing my essay and I needed something beautiful to look at. And two: because I just wanted to. :)

Doesn't Kerry look amazing? I love the color of her dress. The entire thing looks stunning on her.

Kerry Washington at 38th Annual Legislative Conference. Wearing Floor Sweeping
Jason Wu Dress and Multi-Strand Movado Necklace.

Camilla Belle at CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. Wearing Jason Wu Dress, Chiain
Fringed Tote, and Gray Pumps.

Amber Valletta at the Premotion Premiere. Wearing Jason Wu Dress, Yves
Saint Laurent Clutch and Shoes.

Just got back from watching As You Like It  performed by my school's drama department. It was the best play I've gone to see in a long time. :) I laughed. A lot. The girl who played Rosalind was hilarious. Sooo funny. :)

It was a long day yesterday, I'd also played tennis. The school I went to had nine courts. Nine courts!! I'm so jealous right now. I can only imagine what my tennis team could do with nine tennis courts. :) Oh, well. I guess we'll just have to stick with our four.  

 My mom bought me the Nars 15th Anniversary Everlasting Love Pallete for Christmas. I know that was ages ago but she just found it in a box when we were cleaning. It has Orgasm in it. And you guys might know that I'm in love with that stuff. :)

Smoke on the Water

Here's my first EOTD. Its actually from a few days ago but it still counts doesn't it? I think it does! And I'm sorry that the picture isn't too great. By the time I realized I need to take more pictures, because the ones I'd already taken weren't working, my camera died. I'll try to take better pictures next time. Well here it goes...


All Over Lid: Nars' Underworld II
Highlight: MAC Brule

Upper Lash Line: Smashbox Limitless Liner in Smoke and MAC Black Tied
Lower Lash Line: Smashbox Limitless Liner in Smoke

APUSH test happened today. It was...long and boring. And I felt like falling alseep. But I hope I did an okay job. Crossies! :) Sub-disrticts are tomorrow. I'm so nervous but I think my partner and I will do okay. We have an easy draw! Sooo excited. I'm going to stop by Safeway before my match and pick up a bag of Chex Mix. Yummy! :)

Oh. Don't forget that Royal Pains is coming back in June! Yay. Its also my birthday month. I know that's still a little ways away but I can still get excited. Right? :) This show is so good. Hank, Tucker, Libby, Evan. I love 'em all. I feel in love with this show last summer and I'm still a little obsessed.

What's your favorite medical doctor? George Clooney anyone? Hahaha. :) He looks very good for a man his age. Just saying. What're you doing this weekend?

I Walked, I Ran, I Jumped, I Flew


I have some free time before I have to go study so I just thought I'd check and watch a couple episodes of Guiliana and Bill on E! I'm a horrible procrastinator but almost my entire day yesterday was wasted doing an APUSH project. Yuck. :/

Here are some cute deals I found online. I really like the headband and the blue shirt. So pretty. :)





I have so much going on in the month of May. I have APUSH and AP English testing. I have my SAT's. I have my regular school work. I have tennis. I'm just so ready for some relaxation. And writing posts for my blog is just the thing I need. :)

I'm going to go see the Back-Up Plan today. I'm not going with any friends. Its more of a babysitting job. But I don't get paid. My mom and her friends like to go watch movies but her friend has a daughter who's in fifth grade and I come along to keep her occupied so Mom and Kim can have "grown-up girl bonding time".

I hope its good. But the guy who plays opposite J-Lo is really cute! :) Sigh. And he's Australian. I love a guy with an accent.

A Single Cloud in the Sky

Today is the day I'm going to see The Last Song. We get a delayed start tomorrow. Sooo excited. To celebrate I'm writing about this right before I go. I've heard only good things about this movie so I'm hoping that its really good! Here's Miley Cyrus and her All Saints Damisi Boots. :) Enjoy.

Taking a Walk in Hollywood. Wearing All Saints Damisi Boots,
Balenciaga Bal 0067s Aviator Sunglasses, Simone Camille Shoulder Bag,
Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Tweed Boho Cardigan, and
Simple Black Jeans.


Out in Toluca Lake. Wearing Roberto Cavalli Tiresia Sunglasses, Anlo Willa Jeans,
Balenciaga Giant Pompon Bag, All Saints Damisi Boots, and KAiN Label 3 Strap Tank.


At a Recording Studio in in Hollywood. Wearing All Saints Damisi Boots, Miley Cyrus
 and Max Azria Denim Shorts, Simone Camille Shoulder Bag, Plain White Tank, and
Beige Colored Cardigan.


Out in Dublin. Wearing All Saints Damisi Boots, Giorgio Armani Calf Chevron-Print
Tote, All Saints Dream Tee, Black Leggings, Knee Socks, and a Black Puffer Jacket.

Went to my friend's softball game last week. It was really funny because I now know that I know little to nothing about softball. My friend was trying to explain it all to me but turns out he doesn't know that much about softball either. Hahaha. He tried to tell me that you got walk to first base if you just didn't hit the ball. Like if you just stood there. (That's wrong by the way).

It sounded wrong to me because my logic was telling me, if you just didn't have to hit any balls to make it to first base than why would you hit the ball? Just stand there, right? Turns out you get to walk to first base if you get four balls (pitches that are outside the batting zone). Yeah, I had someone else explain it to me. :)

I'm not a big sports person. Well, other than tennis. I love that. Going to practice super hard that way I can come back and be even better. nd win.

Do you want to see The Last Song? I'm a little worried that Miley might not be a good actress. Idk. I hope I'm wrong. :) I'm super excited. I'll tell you guys how it was when I get back. Comment!

Rain, Rain Go Away

With Spring upon us, I know that Spring will also bring along Spring showers. :) Yes, the rain. Don't we all love rain. Note my sarcasm. :) It rained/hailed (who gets hail in April except for Icelanders?) at practice today but it only lasted for a little while.

Anway, Josie at With a Wink and a Smile has inspired me/reminded me that I neeeed to get rainboots. Obviously since it rains/hails at tennis practice. :) Here's the link to her inspirational post. :) Thanks Josie!

I'm thinking abotu getting these ones. I'm not in love with the color but I like the girly feel it has. I don't know. The only time I get to wear rainboots is on wet, dreary days. So I think its cute when girls wear super adorable, super cheery rainboots. Its the juxtaposition, I think. :)

These are called Allison Floral Rain Boots. The price isn't too bad. And considering where I live, I will get to wear these year round. :) So this will be money well spent! :)

Started reading Nicholas Sparks' book, The Choice, today. I somehow lost my copy of The Last Song. I don't know where it went. I put it in my tennis bag one day and then the next day it was gone. Hmmm...I think I know who touched it though. Jenny...if you're reading this...I know it was YOU! :D

But I seriously want it back soon. How else will I find out what happens to Ronnie and Will? I mean, I could go see the movie but I really want to read the book first. My friend says that she listened to The Last Song's soundtrack and that helped her get into the book.

She said that she cried a ton and I hope I cry too! Sometimes you just want to cry. Oh, but I will be going to go see The Last Song soon! Yay! As soon as I finish the book. Hint, hint Jenny...

Don't forget to check out my giveaway! Who doesn't love a free tote? Crazy people, that's who! And it's the last day you can enter. :)

Has anyone seen The Last Song? Should I spend my ten dollars to see this movie because if not, I'll just stay home. :) Comment. Comment. Go and Comment! :)

Divine Diane

Diane is a stunning woman. I first noticed her in the movie, National Treasure and I couldn't help but notice. iin the movie she helped Nicholas Cage find a hidden treasure. But in real life Diane also helps Jason Wu bring his creations to life. I really want to see her latest movie with Brad Pitt. It looks really good. Have you seen it? If so, what did you think?

She has worn his work many, many times and every time she is stunning. Here is a look Diane's ability to make Jason Wu's beautiful clothing come to life. Recently I have become obsessed with Jason Wu. Sorry, if it seems like every other post I'm talking about him. He's just amazing. :D

At CFDA Awards in New York. Wearing Swarovski-embrodered Jason Wu Dress,
Tom Binns Bracelets, Strappy Heels and Roger Vivier Clutch.


At Neiman Marcus Preview of Spring 2010 Jason Wu Collection. Wearing One-Shouldered
 Jason Wu Cocktail Dress, Eddie Borgo Gem-Encrusted Bracelets, Satin Sandals,
and Black Clutch.


At 2010 SAG Awards. Wearing One-Shouldered Jason Wu Gown, Harry
Wintson Gems, and Kotur Clutch.

I love each look for a completely different reason. The black sleeve caps on the first looks is ingenious. And the print of the second look is stunning. I love, love the color of the final look. Its so rich and unexpected. :)

Who's your favorite designer? Have you ever heard of Jason Wu?

If you don't know already, Jason Wu was the man who designed Michelle Obama's Inaugural Ball gown. It was stunning. :)

Just watched the Eclipse trailer at Stephenie Meyer's website. Here's the link to her website. :) It looks really good! (Yes, I love Twilight) But I'm a little upset that they changed the girl who played Victoria. I'm not stupid I can tell that its not the same person. Duh...

I hate it when they do that. Just like what happened to the sequels to the Prince and Me. The first movie was cute. Sigh. Love European boys with adorable accents. :) But the next two movies sucked! Yuck. I couldn't even get through the second one. I couldn't believe it.

But whatever. Maybe I could try not to notice. Not like that could ever happen but there's always hoping...

Oh, well. Tennis practice was cut short due to rain. Darn the bi-polar weather and so I decided to run three laps to get some exercise in for the day. That way I can eat my bag of cheeto puffs with not as much guilt. Hahaha.

Have a nice almost weekend. Just think. One more day. (And for me, two more tests! ugh.) Bye. Please Comment and Follow! :D

Jac Minus Jill

Jac, aka Monika Jagaciak, is stunningly beautiful! I love this girl's walk and her look. One word: Stunning!
According to IMG Models Jac is still in developement but with a contract as the face for Calvin Klein I don't think she'll be in development for long. :) Here are some shots from her French Vogue editorial.




In September 2009 Teen Vogue called Jac a rising star and I agree completely! Just hit up the half-priced bookstore and got sooo much stuff. Lately I have been obsesed with books. I literally have a pile of twelve books sitting next to my bed waiting to be read. (I just counted).

Sigh. I love reading. :) In some good news, I made the tennis team! Yay! Second cuts were today. Kind of nerve wracking. But I got through them alright. But it snowed today! It has snowed once this entire year. One time! We haven't even had a snow day. But then the crazy weather decides to snow once tennis starts.

Thanks weather woman for the warning. And then by the end of the day it was suuuper sunny. But then it hailed. Hmmmm....bipolar much? Hahahaha.

Do you like money? Do you like Lady Gaga. Well, then check out this post from Danielle at The General Specific. It made me smile. :)

Who's your favorite model? Do you appreciate bipolar weather as much as I do? Note my sarcastic tone. Please Comment and Follow! :D

Cobalt :)

This color is amazing! :) I'm in love. Hence the fact that I'm dedicating an entire blog post to it. It still doesn't overcome my favorite color (purple) but its a very close second. I just fell in love with Ashley's dress. :) Sigh.


Ashley Olsen at the InStyle and Warner Brothers Golden Globes After Party. Wearing
Erdem Minidress with cobalt Rhinestoned-Buckled Pumps.


Halle Berry at the London Premiere of Things We Lost in the Fire. Wearing Cobalt
Versace Gown and Amrapali of Jaipur Jewelry.


Ali Larter Pre-Emmy Party for Heroes. Wearing Satin Dress, Silver Jimmy
Choo Heels, and Diamond Bracelet.


Robin Wright Penn at Photocall for A Christmas Carol. Wearing Matthew Williamson
 Jacket from H&M, Simple White Tank, Strappy Sandals, and J Brand Black
Skinny Jeans.


I think I did really well on my math quiz. I actually understood the material. That's always good, right? :)

Tomorrow will be a relaxing day, I hope. Tonight I just have to continue to make my way through Brave New World. Which is surprisingly a good book. Despite its super weird/creepy/random parts. I like it.
.
Do any of you have sisters that like to pretend they're your mom? My sister totally just spent five minutes ranting and raving about how messy our shared bathroom was. Ugh. And I'm like, Hello? Half of the stuff on the counter is your stuf too! So frustrating...

She's my little sister too...Shouldn't I be the mother-like sister?

Anyway, just learned my cat can open doors. She's super smart, well obviously. I mean she can open doors. I thought this was the coolest thing ever. Are most cats able to open doors? Or is she just suuuper talented? Please tell me. I don't want to brag to all my friends and then learn that its completely normal.

Sigh. APUSH Test on Thursday. Yuck. :/ I got to get studying. Bye! :)

Come What May

It is only Monday and I'm already looking forward to the weekend. *sigh* Why is Friday so far away from Monday but Friday's sooo close to Monday. :/ Semester is coming to an end pretty soon and so in the next couple weeks I'm going to be working on how to bump my grades. :)

Anyway, this week I'm looking forward to:

  • Glee Marathons

Oh, this show is awkwardly funny and they have REALLY good singing voices. I especially love the scene where all the football players are performing "Single Ladies" on the football field during a game. Hahaha. :D

  • Three Day Weekend
I don't think I need to elaborate. :) I will spend the time either doing homework or chillaxing. :) Or maybe I'll go see Avatar. Was it a good movie? Please tell me. :)
  • Tennis
I'm so excited to playing this week. I need to practice otherwise when tennis season comes along I won't make the team! :) Soooo excited.

What are you looking forward to this week? Please Comment and Follow! :D

Hit or Miss


Yes, the smell of tennis balls are in the air. As many of you probably already know, Anna Wintour has been seen cheering on (maybe not cheering but definately watching) these lovely ladies and gentlemen as they fight for the chance to be known as the best.

And since this is Ms. Wintour's favorite sport (Yes, and I mean Ms. Wintour as in editor in cheif of American vouge) many of the tennis player have tried to up their fashion sense and show Ms. Wintour what they're made of.

This attempt to dress well and still look great (I mean athletic attire isn't supposed to be the most flattering, just look at what gymnast are forced to wear) is sometimes a hit but also can be quite comical. We'll start with the comical.



Rafael Nadal. He's one of the best tennis players of the moment but his man capris aren't really working here... And if one man-pri isn't enough of course Nadal stunned us all with the fact that he had another pair waiting to meet the world. The red white look is a little better maybe because they don't seem so long or baggy.
____


Next we have Vania King. I can only say that her dress looked like something I would wear when I was five. I can only as her what. What was she thinking?
____

Now we will move onto people who looked completely put together. :)


Serena has gotten much better with her style. I love this color against her skin. The red is gorgeous. :)
___

I mean don't we all remember some of her previous looks? Well, if you don't here's a little something to refresh your memory.


Huge improvement I know. :) I love it. :) But her sister wasn't doing so well. I'm still confused about the stripes that are coming down her dress. Its a nice dress otherwise but the stripes in my opinion are a little dsitracting. Get it together Venus.
____




But another look I really liked was Victoria Azarenka's blue look. She looks like a mature girl ready to play tennis. It's slightly less fashion forward than Serena, its a more classic tennis look, but its beautiful. :)
___

So, that's it for now. This blog is a lot longer than I had originally intended. But oh, well. This is what I've been doing this fine Labor Day Weekend. Super exciting, I know. I wish you all fun on your long weekend. :D
