HELLOOOOO! :)

helloooo my lovely lover pants! how i have missed the beautiful blogosphere! i have no excuses for my extended leave from my blog... none at all... but i will tell you guys that i have just been floating around doing everything that i never had a chance to do the last... well... i've never actually had a chance to do these things :)... meeting new people and just enjoying every day... even though the world seems to want to take a crapper right on me these days... i'm trying to find the silver linings and work my way to what i deserve... but enough about that! i thought i'd just upload some photos from the past month (trying to include mostly outfit shots lols)... enjoy!

 

[my denim shirt! finally! aaand an awesome leather belt :) woot!]

[LMAO, <3 people who keep me laughing!]

[new addition to the family, Oliver! Baby Ollie was born 7/7/10, therefore we played (lucky) 7's the whole time at Vegas ;)]

i'm so thankful to be surrounded by great friends and family now a days <3

triumphant return!

well... maybe not so triumphant lols but i'm definitely working on my return! woohooo! i have a sort of update post in the works... just of outfit photos from the past month and yadda yadda... but for now i'll just share a few random things... first is this outfit i wore on Friday... to run errands and actually be a hermit with some friends... i opted out of a night at the club on Friday and i wasn't disappointed with my decision :)... poker til 3am?! lmao sure! i threw on a necklace after i took this photo... i just enjoy how for some reason this "dress" added with the cut off denim bermudas make me feel/look really tall! i quite enjoy it :)

[dress - faith21, cut off bermudas - old flares, smile - LIFE <3]

and next i'd like to just quickly mention how much i reaaaaaally want this!

[photos from google]

it's the Joby Gorillapod mini tripod! and it looks freakin awesome! that is all :)

and last but definitely not least is just something i'd like to mention having to do with the gay and lesbian community... i've found myself having a lot of conversations with friends of mine that are gay, lesbian, and bi... about life, love and everything in between... and i just have to give my utmost respect and admiration to those who have to struggle with the stresses of a gay/lesbian lifestyle... i was just realizing today, imagine the difficulties we face in our lives as it is... working, living, relationships... just as straight individuals... then imagine throwing in the stress from friction and resistance from people in your life, as well as random strangers you don't even know, just because of who you choose to love and care for... i mean... the stress and pressure of making a relationship work with another person is hard enough... and then think about what it would be like if almost everyone else in your life was an obstacle for your relationship as well... that is a fucking insanely crazy thing to have to deal with... and i just want those of you who deal with that every single day... to know that I myself respect and admire the bullshit you have to deal with <3 (i know this is probably extremely obvious, but it struck me tonight so i had to mention it)

that is all my loves...

i'm happy to be back :)

What is one thing you would change about your hair?

VOLUME! ugh, i used to have such lovely and thick hair back in middle school... but then in highschool i started intense dying and bleaching... and that totally thinned my hair out :( if i could take something back having to do with my body/image... it would have been all that destructive hair dying :/

Ask me anything

Love you Iza...everything will be ok. Time is the best healer :)

thank you lovely :) whoever you are lolz... things have healed but i've also been reevaluating why i was doing the things i was doing the last couple of years, including blogging... i'm still in a weird transition mode... so i hope you all are bearing with me <3

Ask me anything

What is your favorite thing to wear? ex:shorts...dresses...jeans

i suppose it all depends on the season, even though i know California doesn't have the biggest weather variations lolz... i looove to wear dresses in the summer... its either dresses or shorts... just so easy to work with and always super comfy... during the colder times of the year nothing is better than a pair of great fitting jeans a loose top and a cute and well structured jacket :)

Ask me anything

no more truffle shuffle

Chunk clearly no longer has anymore truffle to shuffle lolz

bargain orgasm

lovely lovely come up from wal mart today :)

i got all 6 of these items for $3.00 today!

each gloss was bundled with one of those makeup remover pens for $1

and the skin matching makeup was paired with a primer, both for a $1

NEVER underestimate your clearance bucket ladies and gents! ;)

quick review: the glosses are BEAUTIFUL! i usually am a bad judger of how colors will look on me... but both of these were quite pleasing... the lighter one being more nude but very shimmery (perfect with a smoky eye) and the other one being a pinker shade of my own natural lip color (less shimmery, which i will love for every day wear)... have yet to test out the makeup removers but if you're like me you rarely use them so i can't expect much... but hey if they work on the occasional mascara smudge or red lipstick smear.. then poof! they've already paid for themselves! lolz... i tried the skin matching makeup without the primer... and it seems to work well... not bad coverage but i think i chose a shade too light for me... i may go out tomorrow and see if theres a medium available (because this one is a light medium, which i guess i am NOT lolz) i don't want to go out like one of those people who's face is a totally different shade than their neck :x... so i'll experiment with this with the primer on and during natural sunlight and we'll see how i like it for actual public wear.

i also purchased a couple of simple tee shirts with this fun front pocket detail... its just a regular front chest pocket but the seam on the side of it goes all the way down... exactly like this shirt does (my shirts are pretty much just like this one except maybe not as long and i think the pocket may be on the opposite side)

[this one is from new york & co.]

i can never get enough light weight and relaxed fit tees especially with the current weather... i got one in white and one in a very nice royal blue... i thought they were $3 each... but to my surprise they were $1 at the register... lovely luck of mine (funny enough on an actual day when i had money to throw around!)
