right quick...

i just wanted to share that i would love to rock THE. SHIT. outta Jared Leto's outfit from the vma's. its so perfect :)

thats all... oh... and in case you haven't heard it... here's Willow Smith!

left overs

as of late i've been taking outfit photos (not as many as usual) and just not blogging them, i know... i stink! lols but i thought i'd share a few from the last few weeks to make up for my stinkyness lols

[i wore this for my friend's birthday celebration at the end of august ... we ended up driving all the way up to the Getty Museum (almost 2 hours worth of traffic including into the parking structure) and then deciding to turn back around in the parking structure because we just wouldn't have had enough time to enjoy anything :/ i felt really bad for her sister who was driving but she was a great sport about it... plus the entire 3+ hours in the car was us singing along to oldies but goodies from her ipod! i don't really think anything else could've been as fun as that anyways ;) there were many more adventures after that in this outfit but i wont bore you guys lols]

[pink floyd tee (old), lane bryant belt (thrifted), polka dot denim skirt (faith21), black leggings (old), spaghetti sandals (ross), sunglasses (99cent store lols)]

[errands outfit]

[blue men's shirt (thrifted), black leggings (old), black braided belt (old, on sale in the Target men's dept), black patent leather shoulder bag (Hobo, old, Nordstrom), red "wayfarer" sunglasses (i think i stole these from someone lols), "love" ring (old)]

[first off sorry for the cruddy photo quality. so this was what i wore from last friday night. it's not anything spectacularly special but i freakin love the way i look in it! lols... as cute as i thought i was its so ironic that we were going to a lesbian bar that night (me being straight and all ;P) lmao... i was being an amazing wing man for a very good friend of mine and i thoroughly enjoyed myself :) i cannot wait to wear this outfit again! lols]

[flip flops (old, don't judge me! the bar is actually right across the street from the beach lols), distressed skinnies (Hydraulic from Ross), floral tank (walmart $5! my new favorite!), grey vest (old, on sale at Charlotte Russe), wooden bangles (venice beach), "Love" ring (old)]

i'm gonna make a conscious effort to outfit post more regularly now... and post regularly in general :)

Casanova on Project Runway

i just simply want to say that i LOOOVE the pants that Casanova makes on project runway! :)

while we're here... do you guys have any gripes or love/hates with this season's designers? 

don't gotta tell me twice!

it may seem as if i have to get my arm twisted into putting up a blog post... but when it comes to good looking fellas... boy oh boy... i'll drop my list in a heart beat! hahahaha... thanks to the beautiful La Cara (from Oh La La Curves) and Stephanie (from Buttons, Bows & Brogues) i am now totally compelled to share my five favorite male celebrity crushes! ;D

i'm not gonna lie to you guys... it will probably be very hard for me to stay within the limitations of "5" so i may have to add some honorable mentions ;) and these probably aren't gonna be in any given order either lols

Brad Pitt

particularly in this scene in Benjamin Button ::swoooooon::

Jay Baruchel

he is just so unconventionally handsome! (aside from brad pitt my taste is probably really off everyone else's radar lols) i also feel like he's a thinking woman's man... he's the nerd, the sexy nerd... the sexy physics major UGH! lols

Bradley Cooper

if you've seen him in the Hangover in that black suit, then you know that there is no need for an explanation ;)

Jim Jones

(just one word, that i hate using, but there is absolutely no other way to describe why i lust for this man) SWAG.

Adrian Brody

ever since Summer of Sam (i know, the weirdest movie to find him attractive in! lols) i just can't help but love this guy and everything he does! (EXCEPT SPLICE! ugh he made me sad with that one) i've also always been a sucker for his type of frame... tall, lanky, wide shoulders, slightly muscular ;) yummm

honorable mentions ;)

Bear Grylls

JR Smith

Tyson Beckford

Brandon Boyd

this was fun! lols hope you guys enjoyed it, at least a little bit :) lols

thank you BigBeautyfulMess!

a few months ago i won the beautiful Miss BBM's (from the wonderful Big Beautyful Mess Blog, which i hate to say due to her break, that link may not be working after today :( ) give away for a $50 Lucie Lu gift card! and today (being the lady latepants that i am lols) i decided to cash it in! i just thought i'd share my purchases with you guys :)

to be honest i am pretty much at a financial stand still these days so i haven't made very many purchases... even thrift store ones! ::sigh:: but its okay :) i'm optimistic that things will pick up eventually... but yeah so i decided to spend exactly $50 at the Lucie Lu online plus size boutique ;) cuz i'm clever like that lols (btw if you haven't checked out their lovely selection... get to it!)

i was torn between this striped mini tunic:

and this blue "sail away" skirt:

but i decided to go with the striped mini tunic because i don't have any really versatile pieces that i could accessorize differently (even though i totally love that skirt!)... to quote the Diva in Deep Thought (via facebook) "oh the fun i would have with accessories!!!" lols i may need you to help me accessorize this one girl! ;)

and to round out my purchases i chose these lace leggings :) 

can't wait to receive my order :)

also i thought i'd share these new peeptoe booties i purchased the other day! for a whopping $18 ;) super sky high and super comfy!

p.s.

sometime's i get kind of down because of a whole jumble of things... but i really am gonna try to pop out a bunch of blog posts i've been meaning to do... today! bear with me readers <3

My July Snapshot

even with the heartache and the intense amount of stress that's still flowing, this summer has been UH-MAZING... so i'm extremely sad to see it go :(

Buying:

Wanting:

some stability, a solution for this ever growing problem i have, to learn how to play an eric clapton song on the guitar, money to be able to enjoy the trips/events coming in the fall, to go to school this semester :(... breakfast! lols
