Elle Weekend Horoscope for Pisces

The spirit of Eros blankets your life this Friday, as Mercury settles into your house of passion, romance and creativity for a few weeks. If you planned to head straight home from work with a DVD and bottle of wine, guess again. That nesting phase is officially over. Sure, you might pop in to change clothes, but plan to dash out in your LBD and dancing shoes in less than an hour. On Saturday, a luminous lunar eclipse calls forth your leadership skills. Your fanclub is forming, Pisces, and they await your direction. Facebook invites are your new touchstone tool, as you simply have too many people to include now. This eclipse also illuminates your wishes, hopes, and dreams. Want the fairy tale fantasy? Don’t screen out the facts. A bona fide Prince Charming is waiting in the wings, but you’ll need to get Mr. Wrong out of the way first. If you’re romanticized a situation that was less than ideal, you may get an unhappy wakeup call from the cosmos. Don’t fight the truth, Pisces. This is the weekend where you officially raise your standards and only make room for suitable options that skyrocket you towards your dreams.

Monday Elle Horoscope

Lady Gaga, step to the side. The Cancer Sun illuminates your fame sector for a month making you the new headliner in town. Your passion, creativity and sex appeal are off the charts. Use these powers for your own good, Pisces. This is your time to be the leading lady, not the woman behind the man. No more sacrificing your dreams so that others can benefit at your expense.

Weekend Mischief

Happy Monday! I hope that you all had a good Father's day weekend! My co-workers and I planned on staying out in the City on Friday night, but before then I had to get in some shopping! Lucky for me the hotel was right next to American Apparel! What a coincidence! Although it was really tempting to buy the entire store, I limited myself to just two items. I ended up getting the Dolman sleeve dress in white ($36) and Nylon Spandex Micro-Mesh bodysuit in white ($26). I absolutely LOVE the bodysuit and it's probably because I love mesh, but it's also damn provocative. I keep brainstorming how I can wear it to a pool party. Even though there were tons of rompers and bodysuits to choose from, the white was the most flattering just because of the color contrast. I wore a complete American Apparel outfit that night. All white!

We were all over the City starting with the Irish Bank for some chicken tenders and fries...then off to Circa, MatrixFillmore and Eastside West. Circa's crowd and DJ was definitely a C (hardly worth going to). Matrix was a huge step up. The DJ there rocks it! And the crowd isn't that bad. It's actually a pretty good mix of people. The Eastside West definitely caters to a certain type, but the DJ was the best! DAVID GUETTA!!!!!!! The only downside was that this place gets really crowded and the line sucks. It's not Vegas people. Funny thing is that we didn't even wait in line. My girlfriends just went up to the bouncer and we all got in!

So after all the fun, we all had work the next day. But work is always great when you get to shop at the same time! PINK is introducing new styles and colors for summer and I've never seen such a great selection from the skirts to the new intimates. PINK is introducing a new wireless v plunge push-up bra that comes in 32AA that I absolutely love! AND PINK is also getting in lots of new colors and designs for the existing and most popular bra, the scoop neck. It's been a long time since I've made a PINK purchase, so I let myself get a new bra in blue and black zebra print, blue and black striped banded pencil skirt, and a blue boatneck sweater. BTW come in for the Semi-annual Sale while it's still in stores!

Besides working, shopping and playing, I definitely did a lot of cleaning up! The room is almost ready for the pole to be set up. Hopefully this week!

American Apparel Wishlist

It's Friday!!! Friday has somehow become my shopping day. Perhaps as a reward for getting through the week alive. Today I'm planning on heading over to American Apparel right after work to get a white Vicose Dolman Sleeve shirt I wanted to get last time, but held off. But American Apparel is one of those stores like Forever21 where you can't just buy one item. I don't own a lot of American Apparel merchandise, but the ones that I do I tend to wear over and over again. Because the design is so simple, their merchandise is versatile and you can style tons of outfits just from one piece.

I plan on pairing the loose fitting white top with my white American Apparel mini skirt I brought with me to Vegas. There's just something about white on a tan body that looks so right. So that's the look I'm going to rock tonight. Simple and chic.


I also love American Apparel's body suits and hosiery. The last time I was in Berkeley I wanted to get the Spandex Micro-Mesh Gloria V Bodysuit in black, but since I was already buying a skirt and blouse I had to put it down. I might get it this time. It's so Lady Gaga.



Ever since I saw a Bebe ad with sheer baby pink thigh highs, I was hooked to this color. It's so playful and yet so naughty. I could make dreams come true in these lovely thigh-highs.



These Ribbed Modal Over-the-Knee socks in Pistachio are new! I want them!!! But I know that I would look like a hooker walking around in them outside the house!


When I was at the SF American Apparel, I wanted to get this nail polish in "Office." It reminded me of Chanel's new Jade nail varnish. Too bad I still have the Vegas nails from hell on.

The Pole Installation Begins...

Yesterday my family and I were moving furniture around in my bedroom to make space for the long-awaited installation of my X-Pert stationary/spinning X-pole that's been patiently waiting for me downstairs. So far we've moved two bookshelves and one large office desk out of my room. Even though I have a considerable amount of space in my room now, if I stick out my leg I know that I wouldn't be able to make a complete 360 rotation without hitting my queen sized bed. I love the bed, but I just know it's going to be a pain in my ass later.

If I find a stud finder in time, I'm hoping that I can install the pole this Sunday. That way I have all week to practice in the chance I get to go to Vegas again! But if Vegas doesn't happen, I'll just have to create my own Vegas here in the bay until then. Well stay tuned for pictures of my new room/pole set-up!

GQ Men

My five all time favorite GQ shoots include (in no particular order) Taylor Lautner, Shia Labeouf, Zachary Quinto, Ed Westwick, and Channing Tatum.

Even though Taylor is on the young side, his olive colored skin, black hair, dark eyes and chiseled body make my jaw drop. Yummmmy.




I would've never gone for Shia if it wasn't for GQ's transforming skills. He looks like a totally different person. In person I'm sure he's unrefined and a slob, but put him in a form fitting suit and I'll take him.



I would marry Quinto in a heart beat. He's everything I want and I blame it on Heroes. Bad boy? Yes please.

Ed Westwick also plays a bad boy.




Channing is blessed and he's also a good boy. Well, at least I think he is.




Lately I've noticed that I've been attracted to European dressed men (skinny suits) with tans. I blame Vegas.

Alejandro

When I first heard Lady Gaga's Monster album I swore that we dated the same person. She recently debuted her music video for Alejandro, basically the anthem to the last person I dated, and I finally got the chance to watch it today.

For me, Lady Gaga materialized my kinky and deviant characteristics in her music videos. The music video is highly S&M influenced, which I love! I almost died when I saw her in latex. I LOVE latex, too bad it's so expensive! I just kept thinking that she should host San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair.

No one else has Lady Gaga's originality, erotic aura that doesn't exclude LGBT, and fashion sense. Who else is breaking commercial/mainstream entertainment boundaries? I feel sorry for anyone else who tries to be as creative like poor, poor, poor Christina Aguilera.

Miu Miu Maryjanes

If someone wanted to marry me right now at this moment, all he would have to do is present me with a pair of Miu Miu Maryjanes. What really depresses me is that I can't afford them and know that I will never be able to find these heels in this same exact style in the future when I WILL be able to afford them. Sad I know.

Jessica Gomes

I vote that the Singaporeans and Portuguese need to breed more often. Jessica Gomes, an Australian bikini model, has become my new obsession. Of course it will be an unhealthy one because I was not blessed with her luscious body type. Her body is a model of perfection and should be replicated everywhere.






This gold chain "bikini" top is to die for.

Tuesday Nights in The City

I went out with some co-workers after work last night. Since I value my sleep and work every weekday, I barely ever find myself in this position. BUT I'm very glad that I did go out! Until last night, I was about to give up on San Francisco nightlife. I thought that I saw everything I needed to see and was completely bored. It turns out that maybe I was just going with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights and at the wrong venues.


Last night we planned on getting tacos (Tuesday Tacos!) and drinks, but since we all got off late we didn't make it for the tacos. Strangely, these tacos (and more) were actually being sold inside Rouge NightClub (little Las Vegas...or more like little XS w/o the poles). Before tonight, I always thought Rouge was a very posh nightclub frequented by Asian folks during the weekend. While that may be true, it's a totally different scene on Tuesday nights. And even though I was only there for a brief half hour, I thought it was amazing! There were tons of people, and when I say people, I mean single decent to handsome looking single men. Perfect! And they were definitely my type too. Casual, easy-going, sport-watching men.

After getting into a little trouble at the bar, we went to the MatrixFillmore in the Marina district. I've been here before on a more happening night, but for a Tuesday night the DJ rocked it and towards the morning the crowd was loving the music and dancing. My group of friends had a blast here and we ended up staying here until they basically kicked us out. BTW the pizza across the street at Pizza Orgasmica is delicious! But I'm a fan of pizza and will eat anything that resembles pizza and like it.


So I guess I'll give SF another try. I'm definitely going out this Thursday and Friday! Maybe one of these days I'll work up the nerve to go to a Wednesday amateur night! MAYBE.

80s Purple

My new and favorite online store is 80s Purple. It reminds me of Urban Outfitters in terms of style and pricing, but definitely more trendy and with more brands. Here are some goodies I found...

Melissa Marine Shoes in Blue

Melissa Gold Shoes in Black

Melissa Campana Flats in Purple

Fremont Kim Sequence Shorts in Black/Rose

Tavik, Insight and Zeugari

Thoughts of another possible Vegas trip this year has me swimwear shopping again. I'm really greedy when it comes to swimwear styles and I probably won't ever stop collecting them. Last time I was in Vegas I saw so many girls wearing a very flattering ruffled monokini at Wet Republic. I'm not sure how appealing they are to men, but I thought they were damn sexy and cute at the same time. And event though I already have a bandeau bikini top, I sure wouldn't mind another one in a different color. Unfortunately, I started really late in the game and now my size is out in most of the swimwear I was interested in.

My original mission this morning was to find a ruffle monokini. My search led me to the luxury swimwear brand Zeugari, which is designed by Guy Boucher. The Jewel Monokini priced at $214 comes in purple, green and black. You can buy this monokini directly from the website and US customers don't pay duties or taxes!


As of right now, I'm debating on this monokini. I might just get it.

2009 Zeugari Bikinis



I found Tavik and Insight swimwear on the 80s Purple website which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. They have great merchandise and designers. I mostly was attracted to the Tavik 2010 swimwear photography versus the swimwear itself. This is what I imagine a desert photo shoot should look like. Sweaty and sexy.









I also really love the vibrant colors and simple design of Insight swimwear...unfortunately, they ran out of my size.
