New Home

Hey guys, I know it has been a while since I have posted something. There is a couple reasons for this. 1) unlike some people *cough*yadira*cough* I don't have the luxury of being paid to be on the computer all day reading blogs and such. And unlike some people I don't have time to post multiple blogs per day. So, I apologize for not being as good of a blogger as my bff Yadi.

Okay well, my husband Dean and I have been looking for a bigger place to move into for months now and have had no luck. But now we have a dead line... his parents are coming over to visit from London, and guess what guys, this is my first time meeting them (AH!)! They come over in the beginning of August, so we need to get into a bigger place so that they will actually have a place to sleep.

i love moving. I love unpacking and setting everything up and painting. So I am really excited. I have all these ideas of how i want things to look. I have the living room, dining room, kitchen and yard planned out though I can't seem to think of anything for the bedrooms.

Here are some things I found...

Ideally I would absolutely love to have a closet like Carrie Bradshaws in Sex and the City the Movie. But lets be honest... that will never happen. This is a little more realistic.


How cute is this?? Awe man.


I saw this spread in Domino when it came out. Actually when I found it my original thought was to show it to Yadira because it reminded me of her husband, Josh. I have the clippings in a scrap book and I wish I could find more than this one online. I have always wanted to have stripes in one of my rooms. It would be an easy way to spice up a room!


I just like the colours in this one...


When I lived in San Francisco I painted my living room this colour and it was perfect! Although at the time I was a single lady in a big city and now being married in the valley it wouldn't be that appropriate.


i would love to have a patio like one of these!



How cosy does this look??


I think this side table is amazing, one of my favorite colours too!


I have always wanted to have a black painted kitchen like this.


Imagine taking a bubble bath in this, mhmmmm...


I want this headboard! For some reason I have always wanted to have a a swordfish mounted on a wall.


I have also decided that wall decals are the new thing. Especially if you are renting! I absolutely love them. Here are a few I have had my eye on.

I know the whole flock of birds thing is kinda emo and over played, but imagine them in black in the corner of a wall. Cute!

My husband and I love maps, we have then all over our flat so this is great!

A zebra decal! It's pretty awesome. That's all I have to say about this one.

This one is just elegant.

This one would be so cute on the wall above the kitchen counter.

This is gorgeous!


Oh yeah! And this is the couch that we bought. LOVE it!


On another note I'm sad to say that the days of The Party Time Cruiser have come to an end. For those of you who don't know I have a PT Cruiser the Josh (Yadira's husband) named "The Party Time Cruiser." This is the car we decided on, it's economical and relatively inexpensive. The Honda Fit!


So there it is. Now I just need a house to put it all in. Off to house hunting!

what's blue and black all over?

Well, apparently wardrobe_remixers. That's what. Today I'm in hater mode. I don't know why, but please forgive the sass.


Photo by lightningboltrainbow: Gay name. Nice ass jacket. This jacket is so versatile, it can be used for summer and winter. Just layer that shit on, and you're good to go! Photo by: thenewclotheshorse. I'm loving the demure-ness of this outfit. I think it just makes it that much sexier.
Photo by Violetwired: She looks confused. Maybe she's wondering why she mixed those socks in with that dress. The dress is effin cute. It looks comfy and flirty. But, damn girl, get rid of those socks!
Photo by Vitamininmotion: Always the cutie, this girl can do no wrong. And with simple pieces like these, how could you? The only thing I have to say is that I miss her hair. Sad face.
Photo by Midwest Jess: I want this dress!!! This dress is perfection. Great length, sexy, comfy, everything. The only thing I can hate on is the fact that none of her accessories really go together. Now, I'm not one for being all matchy-matchy, but I am one for coordination. Anyway, I still love this outfit.

Anywho, hope everyone has a great weekend. Let's pray this smoke finally clears up!

brown is the new black

Tomorrow, the all black issue of Vogue Italia hits the news stands. Inside, you will find the beautiful Sessilee Lopez, Lilya Kebede, Arlenis Sosa Pena, Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek, Alva Chin, Gail O'Neil, Iman, Kiara Kabukuru, Karen Alexander, Tyra Banks, Veronica Webb, Yasmin Warsame, Pat Cleveland, Chanel Iman, and America's Next Top Model contestant Toccara Jones. At least this is what I have read. This is a great milestone in modeling, as the last few years have been tough, considering weight issues and issues of racial discrimination.


Arlenis Sosa Pena
(who couldn't even get a translater for a piece om racial discrimanation...yeah, smells like retarded to me.)

Liya Kebede
Sessilee Lopez
Also showing some more color and jumping on the ethnic bandwagon, Harper's Bazaar Korea will feature three georgeous Korean women on it's cover, Lee Hyun Yi, Han Hye Jin, and Daul Kim. Now, I now it's not saying much, since the Vogue issue is Italian and the Bazaar issue is from Korea, but still. This may just be the next fad, kinda like "Safari" print was cute for a second (come on, even Old Navy carried "Safari print" crapola), and even if it is, I'm still thankful for it. My skin color may just be the next coveted thing, and while given the lifespan of a trend, it will fade out in no time, at least we brownies get our five minutes of fame. I do hope, however, that it is not just a trend that will pass with time, but something that will open the eyes of the world and make everyone realize that beauty comes in many colors. I mean, come on.....My skin color finally being "haute"? yes please.

simple

Sometimes, less can be more. This post isn't necessarily about less, but more about keeping it simple. It lets the eye focus on what's truly important in an outfit. It also makes sure that you, the wearer, aren't over-looked.

Photo by persephassa: What's important? That amazing pattern. So, why clutter it up with anything else? No accessories and simple, cute shoes.



Photo by Face Hunter: This girl is effin cute. Like a cuter and edgier version of Natalie Portman (Ugh, I can only wish). So, why fuck something up that's already perfect? Jeans, t-shirt, leather jacket...and that hair. That's the only thing this girl needs to make sure you focus on that perfect face.

Photo by olivialocher: Here, I dunno...this picture just looks so free of a crappy pose that it just makes you focus on the clothes (ooooh, that rhymes). I love the fact that each piece is simple and unique, and when put together, looks like a total catastrofuck. In a good way.

bright red

Today the sun was bright red when I woke up, due to all the fires surrounding the area (something about dry lighting, WTF? What does that even mean!?). It reminds me of Mexico in May, when the farmers around my dad's small home town burn all their lands to prepare for the summer thunder storms. But here, it just means bad news. With the heat and the air like this, it makes me look forward to Fall (the Topshop fall collection doesn't help either). But, alas, summer is here for some time. Which is why I would DIE to have any of these dresses. Although the Fall '08 collections are already all over the runways, I'm still stuck on Rue du Mail's spring collection. Here are some of my favorites.

manic monday

Ugh! horrible Monday. So tired. I spent all day Friday in the hot sun of Vallejo at Six Flags, then out to the movies (see previous post). All day Saturday, Josh and I tried to survive the heat. Since our AC broke on Thursday, we have not been able to comfortably stay at home. Yesterday, we were lucky enough to have been invited over to my friend Jen's house, which has a swimming pool. Still, I feel the life sucked out of me.

Thankfully, I can find uplifting and inspiring women on the Internet. Here are a few:

Turbans! see? they're not that crazy. Everyone should try wearing one this summer. Photo by The Sartorialist. I want these damn shorts already. Photo by Style Sightings.

Now, I'm not a big fan of the hat, or anything else, really. But I love that T-shirt. Sometimes a T-shirt can make or break the outfit. Lucky for this girl, she's got a cute T-shirt. Photo by idhren.

Gawd. I love everything about this outfit. The shirt underneath the dress, the dress itself, her hair bow (I think that's what it is), her colorful tights. Good work, La Meow!
While I would not be caught dead wearing this (It's like a hundred degrees), it looks sooo comfy and cute! Photo by night.owl.
I don't know why, but whiteapple reminds me of sherbet tone. Maybe it's just the lighting of the photo, but I also think it's the awesomeness of her pieces. Any piece alone would make a great outfit.

Here, I love the way aeccrnticgirl mixes and matches.

These shorts! They're going to haunt me forever. Photo by craftycow. Photo by everybodyisugly.

This shit is crazy. I love her for having the balls to wear this. And she looks cute too. Photo by greta*grenada


And this of course, is a totally cute outfit. I just love how her belt looks like it came with that dress. Perfect.
