Moroccan Oil

This is by far my favorite hair product and pretty much the only hair product that I use. It smells great and works great! Add a tiny little dime size amount to your hands and work into your damp hair. Blow dry and whallla! It's expensive, at $40 bucks a bottle. However, it is so worth while! The big bottle will last you a good amount of time! They sell it at pretty much every hair salon and online, so go check it out!

This weekend would of been a great day for rain boots. Even though it wasn't very rainy, the sprinkling would of been a damn good excuse to sport these rain boots (color is similar to the underneath part of my hair!) from ModCloth

and these light lace caramel brown boots also from ModCloth.

Or this retro green "Hawk Ridge Coat"

and this sweet cupcake iPhone cover

Is also loving this black dress from UO and this couch, perfect for reading a book on a rainy day Sunday.

Copy cat

While at work today, I was browsing on Forever 21 when i stumbled upon this Navy Blue dress. If you ask me, it looks exactly like the Miss Selfridge dress from last season. Check it out yourself. The blue is the copy and the Pink is the original.





Exactly alike minus the material and the layered effect on the Miss Selfridge dress.

San Fernando/LA

Getting out of Ventura County and heading into Los Angeles County is always a nice change. From the suburbs to the city, we made our way Sherman Oaks, which is about a 25 minute drive. We stopped at Buffalo Exchange and searched through the store, like kids in a candy store! I sold a pair of BCD jeans and a UO top, which I took the 50% store credit, rather then the 35% cash. I found a cute white loose top with a b&w photo of hippies at woodstock 69. I am almost positive this is TOP SHOP. I then found a lovely leopard button up blouse from Forever and a purple leopard sweater from HM, which I have in red. I only paid $17 for everything.
After spending about a hour there, we left and got on the 101fwy and exited Tujuanga Blvd. Made a left and another left at Dilling, where we arrived to the famous Brady Bunch House. The Brady Bunch was one of my favorite shows as a kid, and when I found out that the real house was located in North Hollywood, we decided to check it out!


We got lunch @ Panera Bread on the corner of Laurel Canyon and Ventura. It was very yummy. We walked down a few blocks to Crossroads and browsed around. Crossroads is a fabulous store with used name brand clothing for cheap. You can also sell back as well.
Took Beverly Glen, to Mullholland , to Benedict Canyon to Sunset. This is at the top of Mullholland looking down at the San Fernando Valley.
Off Benedict Canyon is Cielo Drive. This is the old Tate property where the Manson Murders took place. The original house is now demolished and was actually located a lil bit below this now new mansion called the Bella Villa, owned by a hot shot Hollywood producer. This hot shot, Jeff Franklin (producer of Full House) was having a party yesterday. If only we had an invitation! Imagine the views!
My friend's dad actually grew up in the house below the old Tate property. He was just 15 at the time, but his dad (my friends grandpa) called the cops the morning (I'm guessing midnight-1am-ish) of August 9th, 1969, notifying them of a party getting out of control at the Tate residence. Well, the cops showed up at my friend's dad's house, who then told the police that it is theTate house he needs to check out. They never did. The next morning, the hosuekeeper found the 5 victims dead inside and outside the house on Cielo Drive.

The Abbey Road Handbag by Lucky Brand

I was browsing http://www.luckybrand.com when i ran across these amazing purses. This AR handbag can be yours for $178.00! I have been looking for a nice bag lately but haven't found anything affordable and unique until I saw this. It's not entirely affordable, but I think it would be worth it. I particularily love the green one. It would go great with my eyes! :)

The Night Prowler Bag

This is a great bag with a similar fold over as the Abbey Road bag. The straps are fabulous as they have gold chains going up the sides of the straps. This purse is just a tab bit more pricey at $199.00.

Damn, you coffee!

I am having the worst week of luck. I just spilled my latte all over my light army green skirt. I am at work, so I do not have an oppurtunity to change. I was so excited today because I haven't worn a skirt in a while and whalllllla, i spill coffee all over it!
I am wearing my new JS high heels, forever 21 black shiny leggings w/ zippers at the bottom, my now latte covered army green DC skirt and cute black open back top from...? not sure.
After work on Monday, I was walking to my car when a voice inside my head said "You don't have your keys". I put down my bag full of school books, mail, folders, etc on the trunk of my car. I turned my head for .05 seconds and my bag fell off my car and all my loose papers stared flying around and went under my car. :( I got down on my hands and knees, trying to grab all the papers, looking like an idiot. The bonus to this story is that it happened right infront of my friend (a guy) that I have strong feelings for. Humiliating...

happy saint patrick's day!

Happy Saint Patrick's day! Almost over here...18 more minutes.
It's going to be 80 degrees tomorrow in so cali! This means I will finally and offically be welcoming in spring with my new high heels and a dress!! Time to lay out this weekend, because my legs are a disgustingly off white shade right now which isn't the most flattering with blonde hair...or at least this is what people have been telling me. :-/
Off to dreamland now...adios amigos.

McQueen

“I'm interested in designing for posterity. People who buy McQueen are going to hand the clothes down to their children, and that's very rare today.”—Alexander McQueen Harper’s Bazaar

Sunday, Kate Harlow and I went to Uwink for lunch in the Topanga Promenade. I ate the spicy shrimp & spinach dip w/ tortilla chips and Kate got the turkey club! It was delicious! Uwink is an interesting little place that I discovered this year on Valentine's Day. They have two computers on each side of the table that you order everything off of. They also have free games to play as you are waiting!
After lunch, we went down the street to Target to check out if they have the new Alexander McQueen line out yet. No luck! Whoever Kate talked to said it would be out on Sunday, but no luck! I ended up heading home, while Kate went to the Northridge target and found the McQueen line there!!!!

Travis Barker

On Saturday, I woke up, showered, stopped at the bucks and headed out to Cinema Secrets in Burbank, where I picked up some foundation, nail polish and eye shadow. I stopped by at the Topanga Mall afterwards and managed to find a parking spot. As I was walking in the parking lot towards CPK/Forever 21 area, I notice a guy who looked rather familiar. As I got closer, I realized that he was TRAVIS BARKER from Blink 182. He was walking out of Neiman Marcus with two of his children. The cutest part was that he was baby talking with his kids! It was adorable. I proceeded to act cool and not go up to him. I just continued to walk past him, smiling as we crossed paths.

This was the 2nd time I have seen him in person. First time was at the 2005 Warped Tour in Long Beach, CA. I happened to get backstage (I was "babysitting" a pornstar) when I saw Travis and saw his best friend (the one who died in the plane crash). Travis had so many people surrounding him at the warped tour that I just stood back and watched. I didn't want to be one of those people.

That was actually a fun night! Getting onto the Bled's tour bus to rescue my p.star from getting knocked up in the back of the tour bus (hahah) to meeting and be friending Burt McCrackin from the Used (we got invited to his engagement party in 05) to meeting and drinking with the Offspring to realizing how much of losers Fall Out Boy is when they got highly offended and stopped talking to me when I asked them "So, what band are you in...?"

Anyway, after crossing paths with Travis, I managaed to get some shopping done! I bought a pair of black somewhat shiny leggings from forever, a white ruffle tank top from forever, a navy blue/red nautical mini jacket from h&m, and a cropped purple thin jacket from h&m.

Fashion meets the stars

Just doing some last minute @ work browsing on www.etsy.com and found this very cute astronomy mini bubble skirt! With my love of the unknown universe and astrology, this skirt totally suits me! Plus it's in my size. I will have to ponder the thought of buying this and hopefully bring myself to purchase it this weekend. It's only $16.00, why not!

That's what I want!

Currently Wearing: Hudson jeans, grey ankle boots, miss selfridge sea green/baby blue tunic, leopard 3/4 sleeve sweater

I can't beleive it's the first week of March. Winter is coming to an end, and Spring will begin! Put away the boots and bring out the strappy heels! Take off that winter coat and put on that summer dress!

A few things I want...





Shoes are TopShop and dresses are new arrivals from Forever 21.

You can have these dresses for $24.80/each!!

Urban Dresses

Currently wearing: Grey ankle boots, Hudson jeans and white V-neck Express shirt. Braclets and necklaces.


Happy Friday! I survived the week!!! Didn't even take a day off work like I was planning. I figured I was broke and could not do anything fun or even take my ass to lunch so I opted just going to work and dealing with it. Now today is payday and I am happy I didn't take a day off. I'll have to save those for a super lazy day and my vacation to the UK this summer.

Tomorrow I got on the list to get into club "Social" to attend B Real (Cypress Hill) album release party. Still undecided if I am attending or not. It's me plus 3 i beleive so i'm calling up friends to see if they are interested. I used to work at B Real's CPA office (as well as white stripes, system of a down, motely crew, audioslave, deftones, rage against the machine, etc etc etc) in Encino, CA. Although, the reason I may not want to go is because I may meet up with this cute boy I've been talking to the last week or two. We will have to see...a night in Ho Wood doesn't sound too bad at all!

Got an email from http://www.urbanoutfitters.com this morning. I am truly loving that blue tube top dress. It also resembles a corset top. Sexy yet very romantic, and the pockets are cute!

But if there is any dress that I desire right now it would be this pinafore blue and white striped dress ($80) from http://www.topshop.com new spring/summer collection. It would look perfect with my red heels and some bright red lip stick!

i want to be a stylist

Photoshoots such as the one below are what make me want to become a stylist. The school that I graduated from for make up (The Academy of Make Up and Fashion in Hollywood, CA) also has a stylist program to become a certified stylist. Barbara Layne is the instructor and she has manys and plentys of contacts in the biz. I will have to look into this more. Works over. Time for class.
