Even though I was disappointed with bebe's last floor set that took on a more tribal look, I am definitely in love with the outfits they put together for their mid-summer campaign which focuses on three emerging trends that mix very well together: floral, military and animal print. The colors are amazing for fall. They use olive green, taupe, deep purple, tan and black. I also have to say that I absolutely love some of the new shoes including the Yasmin Lace Up Booties ($179), Iris Leather Sandals ($159) and these gorgeous cut-out pumps that are not yet available. I would have a difficult time not purchasing at least one item if I walked into this store...<br />

My absolute favorite pieces are the purple opaque tights (mini fishnet!), Silk Fringe Draped Tunic ($149) in taupe paired with the white Carmen Destroyed Skinny Jeans ($129), V Neck Knotted Top in taupe ($49), and Mesh Banded Wrap Dress ($119) paired with the Iris Leather Sandals ($159).

They were platformed, had just the right amount of metal decoration around the ankle and they were knee-high. I loved the structure. I loved the simplicity. In terms of design and style, they were the most sophisticated bad-ass, rock star, biker chick pair of boots you could bring into existence. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I tried not to get excited when I asked her where she got them. I learned that she got them on sale at Nordstrom's...but for what price and what brand she would not disclose in front of everyone (and for good reason probably!). So when I got the chance I asked her how much she got them for (because I'm practicing being on a budget for a school assignment) and she said around $300. The most I've ever spend on shoes or boots was $200! Of course this (1) unrealistically validated my past purchases because hers were just as expensive as mine, (2) fueled my desire to add more boots to my collection that were just as delicious as hers (my black over-the-knee GUESS boots have fallen from my favor now...not enough structure!) and (3) attack the next Nordstrom shoe sale (AKA break out the charge card and forget about the budget assignment). </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It didn't help that when I went home that evening that there was a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale catalog just waiting for me. And what do you think I found in the catalog? BOOTS! I've been dreaming about a pair of military influenced boots that are so trendy right now to wear to school during the fall. My criteria for the perfect boot was that it was (1) flat, (2) laced up, (3) zipped up on the side, (4) did not go past my calf, (5) had a rounded toe and (6) looked distressed. And yes I've seen these boos walking around San Francisco and all over on the fashion and website magazines. The boots in the catalog peaked my interest enough to make it a point to visit Nordstrom while I was in the City today...bad idea! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I stopped by and it was crazy! There was pre-sale fever! Well sort of. It was busy. I found the same exact pair that I saw in the catalog... the Trouve lace-up ankle boot in natural and black for $99.90 (saving approximately $50 off the original price). AND I found another pair that had the dual lace-up and zip up design I wanted in brown and black, but they didn't have my size available. I tried ont he Trouve boots and when I discovered that I could also flip over the top to wear it a second way I became convinced that I should purchase them. It didn't help that a sales associate walked by just then and told me that they looked really good and ALSO had an amazing jeweled statement necklace around her neck that just screamed J-Crew! Vera Wang! Money! So I had to ask her where did she get it from and she said at the next department over in Accessories. GREAT! So after purchasing the boots (I get to pick them up on Tuesday! And I got them in black after a considerable amount of internal debate) I headed over to the accessories department. I'm not making this up, but the night before I put down Jewelery and Nordstrom boots on my to do list. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK9nTaayUQ-R4rG59sGiMuy6UYrGFtwgK9Wz7SuYCVSoQvID2M-tqFIX6lenoc2swv37nfnelQD1pi1IdWkL526W3Q8pofvU8MlKNnzUty0gVmdwyBtcWjUwhRA2qu4XxQ33nIpQWaMRE/s1600/NordstromPurchasesTrouveCara+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK9nTaayUQ-R4rG59sGiMuy6UYrGFtwgK9Wz7SuYCVSoQvID2M-tqFIX6lenoc2swv37nfnelQD1pi1IdWkL526W3Q8pofvU8MlKNnzUty0gVmdwyBtcWjUwhRA2qu4XxQ33nIpQWaMRE/s400/NordstromPurchasesTrouveCara+005.jpg" border="0" height="300" width="400" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK8MYrenrxbHSz9rf1oPvU5CFyoK-j4_5rhANctDxKBWo-ehj_2Jik9XGU5-661O10SUa8nwNpvK2wZwh2eoW3qninNOfrtUtGTpVCBDHgxsPpNOh-Qr2MGj5tD7r8yunRCBhkBqwvlQw/s1600/NordstromPurchasesTrouveCara+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK8MYrenrxbHSz9rf1oPvU5CFyoK-j4_5rhANctDxKBWo-ehj_2Jik9XGU5-661O10SUa8nwNpvK2wZwh2eoW3qninNOfrtUtGTpVCBDHgxsPpNOh-Qr2MGj5tD7r8yunRCBhkBqwvlQw/s400/NordstromPurchasesTrouveCara+003.jpg" border="0" height="300" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxN3KSovDY3TlJ5Ph1CszW8EbVXgr0Kb2uYy2iIhapvAmfVNdyR5RHLVFHsSeSy_z0G_lVWImZvcxnfD4HvZKgApH1CIQ-3_ysyZWDlrFDjVWWos09NuKmdvH2h4Sjhuih3CBYkHT8qT8/s1600/NordstromPurchasesTrouveCara+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>I had to say "statement" necklace to the salesperson twice for her to understand that I wanted something big. Then I had to emphasize the word "crystal" for her to bring me to the right section. But I'm glad I didn't give up on her because right next to the section she brought me to there was this gorgeous Cara bib necklace with white and crystal chunky, faceted stones with hanging and interloping silver chains. I don't wear jewelery. I'm a minimalist when it comes to accessories, but I believe that this necklace has converted me. I feel like it actually is the essence of what I stand for...sophisticated beauty, glamorous lifestyle, feminine grace and unrealistic romance. Needless to say, I LOVE IT. I would love it even more if it came in pink. Would I have bought it if it was retail? I'm not sure, but it was on sale so I took it home with me. If I had to, I would return the boots, but I would not give up this necklace for anything! </div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3Be4f5W4cEktGoP9jvuf4BNHN94qnRFSVpQ7UIOvFAw9m6XI1flmkWMfbM_oCl7LcICdmtAkjpkNP-Wdy4yw8vcFj-k7NZkwJOQKxxzK3f0lyt8wTuIWSqx47v6doJrW7llaXHiOYH0/s1600/NordstromPurchasesTrouveCara+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw3Be4f5W4cEktGoP9jvuf4BNHN94qnRFSVpQ7UIOvFAw9m6XI1flmkWMfbM_oCl7LcICdmtAkjpkNP-Wdy4yw8vcFj-k7NZkwJOQKxxzK3f0lyt8wTuIWSqx47v6doJrW7llaXHiOYH0/s400/NordstromPurchasesTrouveCara+001.jpg" border="0" height="400" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzbbabB_FGnoc4BVGJu0w31FfsDlLPHNRAHzbCCw1maYjULfqRWJhCojj3jRalSr84s6uCH_SQD7skPuSl_bZzje7m2z0D8HU83Th-F_K8Clb6tRtP4GxgzXroLHMoOI06ECILtVdlfM0/s1600/NordstromPurchasesTrouveCara+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-57699224638557103612010-07-07T17:47:00.000-07:002010-07-07T17:47:22.928-07:00FIDM Job Fair: I Came and I Conquered...well, more or less. Fourteen employers came to FIDM's job fair this year including Ann Taylor Loft, Guess, Gap, Levi Strauss & Co. and Tory Burch. Instead of walking aimlessly around from one table to another (or trying to collect all 14 which they challenged us to do), I decided to create a war plan. My mentality was to seek and destroy...or more like seek and conquer. I knew that I would only be applying to three companies at most including J. Crew, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's.<br />
<br />
Bloomingdale's easily became my number one employer given my career goals and the designer brands I covet and shop. I was so glad that the representative was speaking to all the students one-on-one, this gave me my one chance to make a memorable appearance and impress her with my enthusiasm for the position and knowledge of the products. Well see what becomes of it! <br />
<br />
Again some of the students brought shame upon the San Francisco campus. Where I come from you dress professionally and conservatively to a career fair, not as if you were going to enjoy a summer day outside in your sun dress or in your party clothes for the evening (I don't care if Forever 21 is there!). I was able to find a stand out outfit that consisted of a patterned dress, royal blue cropped long-sleeve jacket, paired with Betsy Johnson and gold chain-linked accessories. I know it's not always about looks, but to this kind of event it is. Imagine if we were in LA or NY? <br />
<br />
Besides the opportunity to find employment, today's job fair was a good chance for me to get to know my peers better. Finally a place to talk about fashion 24/7. Now I won't be talking to myself any more!Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-39023087809135689512010-07-06T16:50:00.000-07:002010-07-06T16:50:38.465-07:00FIDM OrientationToday was my FIDM orientation at the San Francisco campus. What did I expect? I expected gorgeous women with flawless makeup, salon-styled hairdos and designer apparel with some gorgeous gay men sprinkled into the crowd. Since we were informed that we would be taking our ID photos today as well I thought everyone would try their best to look cute, but I guess some folks don't take fashion school as seriously...that's San Francisco for you! What happened to the superficiality and materialism folks?? How can San Francisco make its mark in the fashion industry if everyone is being lazy?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54kYtZKHBKsAEWOuxYIqGxXfsBn_UgqSgluH8dLJBnjP1nnpitykc6qw-vK3W-zvby_lHU8ZPBEvhksltjmq1-zfYfSqxvcjhPIVgyys6O_SHNy5ARBzAAx6gvkrg5R0jxV2EDpZ_LKY/s1600/FIDM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54kYtZKHBKsAEWOuxYIqGxXfsBn_UgqSgluH8dLJBnjP1nnpitykc6qw-vK3W-zvby_lHU8ZPBEvhksltjmq1-zfYfSqxvcjhPIVgyys6O_SHNy5ARBzAAx6gvkrg5R0jxV2EDpZ_LKY/s320/FIDM.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Well I'm not being fair. I did see some people who tried! Well the highlight of the day was receiving a FIDM canvass tote and FIDM planner! Now I look like an official student! Which is not always a good thing...now when I walk into a store people will automatically see a poor college student! Which I am! <br />
<br />
After orientation I rushed to the nearest bar I knew would have the semi-final Holland v. Uruguay playing. Holland won of course! Don't be surprise if Germany plays Holland on Sunday and wins the world cup! I'm predicting it now people!<br />
<br />
And after the game I treated myself out to a trip to Bloomingdale's. This department store basically carries the designers that I love that you won't find in Macy's or Nordstrom's. The first floor in San Francisco is like walking into a dream. All you see is shiny floors, neon lights, and light reflecting off of mirrors and display cases. The experience of walking into Bloomingdale's is like none other for me. I found out that in addition to having Jimmy Choo and Louis Vuitton sub-departments, they have Chloe, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Alice + Olivia and Aqua (exclusive Bloomingdale's brand) too! I love all of the Alice + Olivia merchandise and most of the Aqua apparel. Too bad the only people who can afford this stuff are of a generally older generation, when the merchandise is specifically made for the hot, young and restless. I did see a beautiful, silk, sleeveless Aqua tunic with gold bead trim in either black or white ($58). I will return for you! Too bad the FIDM orientation's financial aid speaker's message about budgeting was still stuck in my head and giving me a guilt trip about the Tory Burch Reva flats I just bought!Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-83815582944975622802010-07-04T11:27:00.000-07:002010-07-05T17:04:00.982-07:00SF Nightlife and Music<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVw-OXk_Qxrzw8QB5C9A6ws44GiMoaCEFSeN9XAtqGIUvtQudIE373DIx5ekxb_BODJHLfsSwKGyJYkkXF7IXVDLOy6aD8qhdQgnel8nperOsC3uXdZilO7wlKSYswZCNdq0IE8miSaY/s1600/EveLounge.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPVw-OXk_Qxrzw8QB5C9A6ws44GiMoaCEFSeN9XAtqGIUvtQudIE373DIx5ekxb_BODJHLfsSwKGyJYkkXF7IXVDLOy6aD8qhdQgnel8nperOsC3uXdZilO7wlKSYswZCNdq0IE8miSaY/s400/EveLounge.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490120035580829794" border="0" /></a><br />I keep telling people how bored I am with San Fransisco nightlife, but that's probably because I'm not trying new places. Last night I went out with my girlfriends to a few places I've never been before and of course I had such an amazing time that I'm finding it difficult to do anything today.<br /><br />We started by going out to dinner at Burger Bar in the Macy's building in Union Square. While I didn't care for their menu, I did enjoy everything else they had to offer. I have to point out the music first of all. All night they were playing dance music (Ruby Skye-esque) and I could not hold still. I almost forgot that we were there to eat and not to dance! They also had these mini television screens in the booths playing sports highlights! I also liked how the place was filled with men. Okay not all of them were uber attractive like the guys I saw at Tuesday Taco night but they were something to look at.<br /><br />Burger Bar was a great place to start off because the music pumped me up to go party. After dinner we took a cab to Harlot. This was another great stop. Entrance was free and quick and the DJ was playing good music all night (even Satisfaction and Gettin' Over You!), and the decor was so unique. They had the cowhide furniture I love so much and the entire first floor looked like a vampire's lair with a moose horn chandelier, leather reserved seating, sensual nude paintings, and images of sexy women on their tables. Upstairs was cool too, because they did the reverse and everything was white. I would say the crowd is nothing to talk about. I won't be mean. But the bartenders and bouncers were so weird to me that evening. Could you hit on me without making me feel like an idiot? The bartender wanted to shoot water into my mouth directly from the spout...um what about nooo.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwX7qV73_LU8SeBIfmu2ZFbUVtMYeqhL32RQx4HMTEVW-M2aS1b-O970YCWCsZox-oWzSqvUBpldgCLJeRaV3ucmKQV6XLSv4UT7QuD0isnfBPGWELIu8SA7nj60ibRI0-S4ODlcmm3Fc/s1600/HarlotDoor.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwX7qV73_LU8SeBIfmu2ZFbUVtMYeqhL32RQx4HMTEVW-M2aS1b-O970YCWCsZox-oWzSqvUBpldgCLJeRaV3ucmKQV6XLSv4UT7QuD0isnfBPGWELIu8SA7nj60ibRI0-S4ODlcmm3Fc/s400/HarlotDoor.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490576534939116162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0BaPkimYhNqOu_e8_a7lvsPMZ9hyp6RFrlY_DynRjaZOPjwlFRZHZFD0HZRLadR1VDExygErm4o73P8dJlsvHeMYT_jwwJYGxTZMmaHx3dwhPOSOLTUD6A1916G3W-tINjuodHFFWRmw/s1600/HarlotChandelier.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 331px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0BaPkimYhNqOu_e8_a7lvsPMZ9hyp6RFrlY_DynRjaZOPjwlFRZHZFD0HZRLadR1VDExygErm4o73P8dJlsvHeMYT_jwwJYGxTZMmaHx3dwhPOSOLTUD6A1916G3W-tINjuodHFFWRmw/s400/HarlotChandelier.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490576523479717362" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5GHB3CzWUaHPtt4cd1U5uSUXVqgH91qpkDNsFMV7P9YBgjZbfVCfuJRsA9eHoCSfEOLhHbZFSgk4iV6D4HipCOZVHCVBtdijECbFpufaN5VM2pE7AklMsoZiy_uIvtDjUEDqkebdfalE/s1600/HarlotTables.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5GHB3CzWUaHPtt4cd1U5uSUXVqgH91qpkDNsFMV7P9YBgjZbfVCfuJRsA9eHoCSfEOLhHbZFSgk4iV6D4HipCOZVHCVBtdijECbFpufaN5VM2pE7AklMsoZiy_uIvtDjUEDqkebdfalE/s400/HarlotTables.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490576513370948002" border="0" /></a><br />So we decided to try Eve "across the street" afterward. While we walking there we could see the line outside and knew we were going to cut (like we always do baby). So we walk with a purpose up to the bouncer and act like we're about to walk in and he asks us if we have stamps, and show him our stamps from the other place. He knows we're trying to cut, but we're cuties and my girlfriend's friend actually knows the people there so we get in. Yay! Eve has a really cool theme going on to, like dark flapper girl and feathers. But the music was a whole other story.<br /><br />When I heard the music playing I thought I should be somewhere tropical like the Caribbean or at least Miami. Turns out they has live bass and drums (not your regular set, the ones you hit with your hands!) improving along with the DJ. We got into the grove, and I noticed later on how incredibly cute both the DJs were. Drool.<br /><br />But I have to say that the best DJ of the night was DJ Scene on Wild 94.9, and he's going to be at Infusion at the end of this month! So I guess there's still hope left in this City.Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-35993677760785209332010-07-04T11:04:00.000-07:002010-07-05T16:59:34.218-07:00Tory Burch Flats<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgACI951sBTuhiKDeByzHoiFNVSj97nx9Xq6gMbM-eOnACD6aCCsJA-niqWtr5nhFB73NtiDeDuk1VkDI6zHY4SOP38dtyHmWg8ikoaBiFOHoEqdQyQC8knwUv54Jb3mY9FueqD2J1oc/s1600/ToryBurchFlats+002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgACI951sBTuhiKDeByzHoiFNVSj97nx9Xq6gMbM-eOnACD6aCCsJA-niqWtr5nhFB73NtiDeDuk1VkDI6zHY4SOP38dtyHmWg8ikoaBiFOHoEqdQyQC8knwUv54Jb3mY9FueqD2J1oc/s400/ToryBurchFlats+002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490575106902125826" /></a><br />I love heels and heeled boots and always have room to add another pair to my collection. While it's really easy for me to purchase a pair of heels in a heartbeat, I'll debate on a pair of sandals or flats until I finally convince myself that I don't or won't wear them. They're just not as appealing to me, especially since they don't add any extra height! In fact, they remind me how incredibly short I am. <br /><br />In the past I owned one pair of Steve Madden flats, and that's when I was in school and it was practical. They were black and suede, perfect to pair with basically anything. I'm very conservative and practical when it comes to making a purchase like this (one that I don't make often), so I told myself that I needed to get something that would work for more than one occasion. So since I'm returning to school, I decided to take the leap and TRY to find a pair that will last me as long as my last pair (4 years!!!). <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWW07guSAhETk8hptEqMCuWQMrDhnYM1P3clSYyUZBYfhDhQJjbWn7mlUazu2ld8gZzVclXYoWqeCbiB_tzVa6aLUb1hcUufceNnp8cEHmvrK-jeCRrj08VqwUfLaIV1t-IOohMMyI5Yw/s1600/ToryBurchRevaFauxTortoiseshellLogoBallerinaFlat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWW07guSAhETk8hptEqMCuWQMrDhnYM1P3clSYyUZBYfhDhQJjbWn7mlUazu2ld8gZzVclXYoWqeCbiB_tzVa6aLUb1hcUufceNnp8cEHmvrK-jeCRrj08VqwUfLaIV1t-IOohMMyI5Yw/s400/ToryBurchRevaFauxTortoiseshellLogoBallerinaFlat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490113691833029714" /></a><br />So while I was doing "research" on the Nordstrom website in preparation for an upcoming job fair, I stumbled across a pair of new Tory Burch 'Reva' Faux Tortoiseshell Logo Ballerina Flats. It was love at first sight. It combined basically everything I was looking for. They're simple enough to pair with multiple outfits, sophisticated enough for work, have gold accented metal, and come in the new jelly material that's becoming popular for flats. And lets not forget the tortoiseshell. The pattern is classic and they match my tortoiseshell frames!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcgZ4fhOOKmaDDhywJLilZFWCQtW1ebcbdEsuDmvthpUVC07wFhgXH_LsfUaFvNioIjwwQgqHFFr4kr8UfWwWW8sulK6fsH51S7lY7SSAt5c8DrVO6uZIhYY4lX3gNUAjo15RewFV-B7A/s1600/ToryBurchFlats+006.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcgZ4fhOOKmaDDhywJLilZFWCQtW1ebcbdEsuDmvthpUVC07wFhgXH_LsfUaFvNioIjwwQgqHFFr4kr8UfWwWW8sulK6fsH51S7lY7SSAt5c8DrVO6uZIhYY4lX3gNUAjo15RewFV-B7A/s400/ToryBurchFlats+006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490575125649049890" /></a><br /><br />While I initially planned on making a trip to Nordstrom to just check them out, I ended up going to Bloomingdale's with a friend and found them there.

I know that I've neglected posting these past few days. A lot has happened and I need to catch you up on everything! I should start off by saying that I finally got my XPERT XPOLE pole up last Sunday! Now the real pain comes. I've been trying to ease myself slowly into dancing again so I don't injure myself, and with one week's worth of constant pole I can see a major difference in my biceps! I look at myself in the mirror and my arms have become unacceptably too large for me! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8UkNIJpol5JdyF_Urp-O_rsub0dX1Tt8Sdn65KPfc6UsiXM8_M5cipmRcj9jL9EdZev6n2t3zkGV206jznN7S4WKNnWllHMSaQVqQ3tYysANRxrSfKaVtqyd3nOgsvp9nRiUTh1bHGaU/s1600/InvertedButterfly.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8UkNIJpol5JdyF_Urp-O_rsub0dX1Tt8Sdn65KPfc6UsiXM8_M5cipmRcj9jL9EdZev6n2t3zkGV206jznN7S4WKNnWllHMSaQVqQ3tYysANRxrSfKaVtqyd3nOgsvp9nRiUTh1bHGaU/s400/InvertedButterfly.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490109220460161506" /></a><br />I'm going to try to conquer one pole move at a time.

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.Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-45213740233909626052010-06-21T13:15:00.001-07:002010-06-21T13:15:25.388-07:00Monday Elle HoroscopeLady 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.

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! <br /><br />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! <br /><br />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! <br /><br />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!Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-80399565285360901652010-06-18T10:24:00.000-07:002010-06-18T10:36:21.851-07:00American Apparel Wishlist<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZN1woz-x1rQ0L46Dnfs5OLpKCVGPBJy5FqMs2kCAoGBQhRLV8-mdi_MwlJflVLugKtJrftbrsuTGTYAXbJUbF8W-IlrAG7fMU9K0asNagyEOvgXtblrsRDhvbZGecKPyNf1QUmt8JA7c/s1600/AmericanApparelVicoseDolmanSleeve.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZN1woz-x1rQ0L46Dnfs5OLpKCVGPBJy5FqMs2kCAoGBQhRLV8-mdi_MwlJflVLugKtJrftbrsuTGTYAXbJUbF8W-IlrAG7fMU9K0asNagyEOvgXtblrsRDhvbZGecKPyNf1QUmt8JA7c/s400/AmericanApparelVicoseDolmanSleeve.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484166156261971538" /></a><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZyFAcnVVAJ0aQk9VnXWvcsQSJSk9VIzaLBeCu0hFVvTFp9aCEYQtBqCfqReMamnSzqbv2OA5bi6o41kVXRyssHmgqRm2hO1NMBb2bp-FiHrul40M2z7EHL6p8x-iQkQc6_ZJ8O8pYOTo/s1600/AmericanApparelSpandexMicroMeshGloriaVBodysuitClementineL.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZyFAcnVVAJ0aQk9VnXWvcsQSJSk9VIzaLBeCu0hFVvTFp9aCEYQtBqCfqReMamnSzqbv2OA5bi6o41kVXRyssHmgqRm2hO1NMBb2bp-FiHrul40M2z7EHL6p8x-iQkQc6_ZJ8O8pYOTo/s400/AmericanApparelSpandexMicroMeshGloriaVBodysuitClementineL.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484166155664942626" /></a><br />I also love American Apparel's body suits and hosiery.

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. <br />
<br />
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!Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-79805627317747066352010-06-17T15:25:00.000-07:002010-06-17T15:31:43.582-07:00GQ Men<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxHlfoeiDhjTTCpM3w04TIPR1WBPW9N6Wg82R6jBV2uw15yFI0qh-loWWdNTiZ27oiBxWUIpqo3WBGDnziPvD_kjQ5U8npJZyZEUdp9HF9WGuWm8ruPh1cVzUnaX2Enyk4SBGmgVOuDUM/s1600/GQTaylorLautner.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 317px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxHlfoeiDhjTTCpM3w04TIPR1WBPW9N6Wg82R6jBV2uw15yFI0qh-loWWdNTiZ27oiBxWUIpqo3WBGDnziPvD_kjQ5U8npJZyZEUdp9HF9WGuWm8ruPh1cVzUnaX2Enyk4SBGmgVOuDUM/s400/GQTaylorLautner.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483872631791154498" /></a><br />My five all time favorite GQ shoots include (in no particular order) Taylor Lautner, Shia Labeouf, Zachary Quinto, Ed Westwick, and Channing Tatum. <br /><br />Even though Taylor is on the young side, his olive colored skin, black hair, dark eyes and chiseled body make my jaw drop.

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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-86313846353401411582010-06-16T12:06:00.001-07:002010-06-16T12:09:29.017-07:00Miu Miu Maryjanes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjSRdavlCZJtbP-0G1A866f0lHTl7usX91kq_gBWTZh4_PLCcK9hAvQkaA4F5PiAO_QZm-u1NbKUYaCW05QeVaCuMdbi0aI8U-2kocu_jJVo0l88zVHU_CQHEUwI6WaX2uENywwECeaA/s1600/ElleMiuMiuEmbellishedDuchesseMarjanes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjSRdavlCZJtbP-0G1A866f0lHTl7usX91kq_gBWTZh4_PLCcK9hAvQkaA4F5PiAO_QZm-u1NbKUYaCW05QeVaCuMdbi0aI8U-2kocu_jJVo0l88zVHU_CQHEUwI6WaX2uENywwECeaA/s400/ElleMiuMiuEmbellishedDuchesseMarjanes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483450341529959874" /></a><br />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.

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. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckCMV5Ot49jCIkff02VDVa7qjrZk7ktVu2meKX4KaIZExto717-XbIbvA9b2NGG6itityIQ_erUtiMlzjfRpNMQ0psjl9hY83suWx7OtKb6qF4x2RP7VzN7QydWTmDRlAuyvThsdDwRg/s1600/RougeBar.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckCMV5Ot49jCIkff02VDVa7qjrZk7ktVu2meKX4KaIZExto717-XbIbvA9b2NGG6itityIQ_erUtiMlzjfRpNMQ0psjl9hY83suWx7OtKb6qF4x2RP7VzN7QydWTmDRlAuyvThsdDwRg/s400/RougeBar.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483395169125866466" /></a><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQtN6dyoFefgHfgXL2cQvYbhAOrUJPVyLjxcIfzStGHerWKKoGjjzAQqqRYUsRBxjz6cmV49BUx1nLeHoCWRRC1MGWPPDZf-0X9rnj-eKKUPs5nOE_5tb246y5xYZWBgJ4X4RKKribMY/s1600/MatrixFillmore.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMQtN6dyoFefgHfgXL2cQvYbhAOrUJPVyLjxcIfzStGHerWKKoGjjzAQqqRYUsRBxjz6cmV49BUx1nLeHoCWRRC1MGWPPDZf-0X9rnj-eKKUPs5nOE_5tb246y5xYZWBgJ4X4RKKribMY/s400/MatrixFillmore.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483395160547250946" /></a><br />So I guess I'll give SF another try.

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. <br /><br />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!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPNNA7E12vP4hP1YTinH8Ls_NJTmIXj9sFXBUGN-bwNTJx00YPAw2fY4mIhyR1u6XZFQUdzEzt4D_hHeN3NDmANAPis-2Nt4sCXYYWEE04xEWeNYl2lu9fovWIFAJMnMqpF_pKKLn8LmQ/s1600/JewelMonokiniPurpleZeugari.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPNNA7E12vP4hP1YTinH8Ls_NJTmIXj9sFXBUGN-bwNTJx00YPAw2fY4mIhyR1u6XZFQUdzEzt4D_hHeN3NDmANAPis-2Nt4sCXYYWEE04xEWeNYl2lu9fovWIFAJMnMqpF_pKKLn8LmQ/s400/JewelMonokiniPurpleZeugari.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483047799093517458" /></a><br /><br />As of right now, I'm debating on this monokini.

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. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghp9w99h3h_HUuuC02p-t38yW6R31TTdc8FDVfPz7L-mdMh6lyaqwKP3tSx_RcY6ppBCT1heOO9O-_tPNRMI_tvjD6ZwOMAsSrqWaL1moqIyf9A5ghPOmogoGDudVAB_nrYQnMKXZ_kN8/s1600/TVIKonepiecefloral.jpg"><img style="display:block;

After successfully finding a new pair of optical frames at a local colleague-recommended optometrist's office, I decided to bring my little sister to the same office. Before today my little sister has visited countless optometrist's offices to find "the one" this year. Fortunately, the Hiura & Hiura & Han (long I know...) office has a wide selection. They have an extremely high turn over with new styles coming in every week. Even though I just visited them about a month ago, they already have new styles in stock and even new brands they didn't carry before! Their newest additions include Jason Wu, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Derek Lam which are part of the parent group MODO. ALL NEW DESIGNERS!!!!! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcv2DZPw4hcUMBXcGOytm-h6Hrpy39QQtof-VN9rPBXWVIQ1_Xxs6Ujx-VGKvh8bSBnpoY5QgAiyKjhhkha0K4vzY77O2ltPbDdRqWCPmlMglMgfe5prqIYEwMIlghu_ptNZWZwjPq3M/s1600/3.1PhillipLimMeirTort.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 141px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcv2DZPw4hcUMBXcGOytm-h6Hrpy39QQtof-VN9rPBXWVIQ1_Xxs6Ujx-VGKvh8bSBnpoY5QgAiyKjhhkha0K4vzY77O2ltPbDdRqWCPmlMglMgfe5prqIYEwMIlghu_ptNZWZwjPq3M/s400/3.1PhillipLimMeirTort.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482773899384934210" /></a><br />I couldn't believe my little sister's luck. I instantly fell in love with the 3.1 Phillip Lim's optical frames. I particularly liked the Meira frames in tortoiseshell, especially since they reminded me of my Rayban Clubmaster sunglasses. Unfortunately, no one else in the office understood the quirky yet sexy look. In reality, there would be no way I would be able to wear the Meira frames with the prescription I have. I would basically have to make a frivolous purchase and buy them out of vanity. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL7jaw1C6zlzU3m-L0SrsVfZldf8M8ECEB6oXsg1xEJCZebMNiYLRsJlO3BeyMEB6JuQ8gTYpS4lZLqRZBHiDP1qFmOlbmCiTO0-GVhyphenhyphena71rF2vFqIqiVI2Fs3taQB3o-NSit82g_fqVg/s1600/3.1PhillipLimJudithCristalFlesh.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 277px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL7jaw1C6zlzU3m-L0SrsVfZldf8M8ECEB6oXsg1xEJCZebMNiYLRsJlO3BeyMEB6JuQ8gTYpS4lZLqRZBHiDP1qFmOlbmCiTO0-GVhyphenhyphena71rF2vFqIqiVI2Fs3taQB3o-NSit82g_fqVg/s400/3.1PhillipLimJudithCristalFlesh.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482774103849040242" /></a><br />In addition to the 3.1 Phillip Lim frames, I did fall in love with the clear brown MODO frames that look almost exactly like the frames pictured above. While both my sister and I agreed that the frames themselves has integrity on its own without a face to wear them, the lady who worked there thought they looked disagreeable on me. Her exact words were "they look like they wash you out." Although her opinion was on the negative side, it wasn't strong enough to persuade me. In my opinion, I think clear frames are new, sexy and are going to take off in terms of popularity. Thank goodness for great designers!!! I almost forgot to mention that I would definitely wear lipstick with these frames. Always!<br /><br />My lucky little sister ended up selecting the green tortoiseshell thick-rimmed frames pictured above. Lucky her.<br /><br />See my Favorite Designers and Fashion Houses page to view more 3.1 Phillip Lim Optical Frames!Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-29926016928837574552010-06-09T10:21:00.000-07:002010-06-09T10:22:32.211-07:00Polaroid Lingerie Photo ShootLast year I bought a Polaroid One600 Classic instant camera because it was nostalgic for me, plus I don't have the adobe software or skills to mess around with my digital pictures and polaroids give me exactly what I want. It's like my instant Marc Jacobs' ad camera. Everything ends up "artistic" if you intended it that way or not.<br /><br />I ended up bringing it with me to Playa del Carmen last year and almost every shot was perfect. Of course every shot costs you over a $1 to take. That's about the only downside. Since my trip to Mexico, I've pretty much let it sit and collect dust. <br /><br />But I've finally come up with another Polaroid project I can start, a Polaroid lingerie photo shoot. The possibilities are endless. There's so much room for creativity, hair, make-up and costume changes, poses and backgrounds. I'm excited to start.Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-75767747507969473132010-06-08T09:44:00.000-07:002010-06-08T10:16:01.553-07:00Lights, Camera, Magic...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiMs3ZMzOAK3ycZf_-FWRooe_DBZxrm_ibiXJEQzXWGz48VL4rPrihy0P2qPXk1bbCAmFwgu6aCX-lXnIGRtuTqkYbTG_glZVxI6m1YyXVVp10RUy8k72bEpn-4JWnUN2k5cCaiCuE4g/s1600/TrueCrimeReleasePolePhotoRD.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 335px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiMs3ZMzOAK3ycZf_-FWRooe_DBZxrm_ibiXJEQzXWGz48VL4rPrihy0P2qPXk1bbCAmFwgu6aCX-lXnIGRtuTqkYbTG_glZVxI6m1YyXVVp10RUy8k72bEpn-4JWnUN2k5cCaiCuE4g/s400/TrueCrimeReleasePolePhotoRD.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480452808120065506" /></a><br /><br />From a photographer I admireCoquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-78029142198643151362010-06-08T09:24:00.000-07:002010-06-08T10:03:59.068-07:00I'll see you soon VegasAfter 24 years of careful observation, I've learned that I'm horrible at completing projects. It's disappointing because I start off so strong and determined. Eventually my resolve fails me and I get lazy as fuck. Not this time! I want so badly to return to Vegas. It's a luxury that I should avoid, but nonetheless the most tempting opportunity. How can you possibly say no to a week in Vegas at the Hard Rock partying up until Independence Day? Just the thought of the many pool parties (Rehab @Hard Rock, Beach Club @Encore, Topless Pool Party @Wynn, Tao Beach @The Venetian, Wet Republic @ MGM, Liquid @ Aria...and all for free bitches! or very minimal wait time) gets me excited. And to go to Haze at Aria again would be a dream come true. The combination of dance music, stage performers, a sky-high pole, mist and snow descending from the ceiling and an awesome crowd made my mind explode. Don't get in my way when I'm walking to the dance floor, because I'm not here to dance with you. Men.<br /><br />Too bad this is what the San Francisco Examiner has to say...<br />Be sensitive to a tendency to become extravagant and go way overboard.Coquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5561398278023010644.post-86548488720401867492010-06-07T14:08:00.000-07:002010-06-07T22:18:20.975-07:00It may be a man's world, but Vegas is a woman's City<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP18ZwPYxqJPfgz_JjAy9HRiBdGaQ2t8Jxv6cXv_mImrm-p3ixKWWT_k4w2bDCAvEjhUiuLm43FMm7EfA0kJcWpxLYVa77yO5lApGMVFlaKVZpEGtBEIfB_hcdgMbkLxEKy6043-EuBPk/s1600/VegasTripJune2010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP18ZwPYxqJPfgz_JjAy9HRiBdGaQ2t8Jxv6cXv_mImrm-p3ixKWWT_k4w2bDCAvEjhUiuLm43FMm7EfA0kJcWpxLYVa77yO5lApGMVFlaKVZpEGtBEIfB_hcdgMbkLxEKy6043-EuBPk/s320/VegasTripJune2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480164925095499586" /></a><br />Is it me or does everyone else want to go running back to Vegas as soon as they arrive back home?? I haven't been to any other city that has treated me as well as Vegas, and it feels damn great to be treated like a V.I.P. (A.K.A. Goddess). <br /><br />Even though Vegas Barbie and I arrived in Vegas Tuesday night we didn't officially start the trip until Wednesday evening at Todd English's Olives restaurant at the Bellagio. Every dish there is sinfully rich, and a meal should be orderded with great caution. We loved this place so much the last time we visited Vegas that we decided to patronize Olives again. I have a feeling that Olives will forever be the restuarant we start our trip off with as a good-luck meal. Between two girls with hearty appetites, the bread basket and one entree was more than enough for the both of us. ONE ENTREE!<br /><br />After enjoying the fountain and some tourist activities (A.K.A. walking the strip), we decided to try our luck at Sapphire's. A taxi cab driver told us the previous night that it would be possible to enter Sapphire's without a male escort (which is impossible at Spearmint Rhino), well that information was true to some extent. As soon as we arrived we were interrogated with a series of questions including...is it just you two ladies? Are you meeting someone inside? You like ladies? Are you planning on talking to anyone? They might have as well asked us if we were prostitutes while they were at it. After we passed their test and promised that we wouldn't mingle with anyone in the club to take the attention away from the girls that work there, we were allowed to go in. <br /><br />In all honestly, Sapphire's is not a club worth going to if you're a straight man, straight woman or lesbian. I've been to the Gold Club in SF and in comparison they were more classy and it didn't give me the feeling that I was in a brothel with the voice of a pimp reprimanding the girls from the loudspeaker at the dj's booth. No matter how difficult it is for you, go to the Rhino!!!!!!!! I'm going to make that my goal next time. Rhino or Bust!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBU2VXcLl6TBL5rbsklbWTMldS3fg5Eo-f-Sjz938q8VC-iDbdGSbIqyWrpy8LkOOGfP3S3Veef1h_2DxzzhQLb04t761BWOGK-ga0JYOhXpuk-0W7SV3MifVIZZcJzEN6MJuQmcsAepk/s1600/VegasNailsJune2010+003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBU2VXcLl6TBL5rbsklbWTMldS3fg5Eo-f-Sjz938q8VC-iDbdGSbIqyWrpy8LkOOGfP3S3Veef1h_2DxzzhQLb04t761BWOGK-ga0JYOhXpuk-0W7SV3MifVIZZcJzEN6MJuQmcsAepk/s320/VegasNailsJune2010+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480267207527110002" /></a><br />Thursday went by in a flash. We should've gone to the topless pool party at Tao Beach or the one at Wynn, but we had no idea. Next time! I got my nails done at a local nail salon. It was the most painful and sloppy $48 powder/acrylic set I've ever received. I'm going to write a 2-star review for this horrible place. <br /><br />After getting all done up we actually met up with a friend at a bar to watch the Lakers vs. Celtics game. Lakers won of course, especially since my friend was wearing her Lakers earrings! Afterward we went to that magical night club also known as Tao. After getting in and being seated at a table, I was able to take in all the sights. And from my point of view, all I could see were big, bald security guards. All I'm going to say is that these weren't just your every day security guards. I basically thought I was in heaven. That night they opened up Tao Beach too, so we went upstairs to explore. Tao Beach at night is amazing!! There wasn't too much dancing, but it was a great place to meet people and look at all the YUMMY looking men. For the first time I thought to myself "Too many men, so little time!" and "I want to stay longer!". <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlXISuTlJkn7xq6DKLkPKOUhlT9Z1NOhQBIzd1o_0UGSzzjjx-7SrHLO3n5Novsg9OiXJwdLgbXIcQqtLm3UliaJuZT05rCwt7yq5sAP8SXIhpmWLQpVJq_5ZhcRZk_NxKYvUQf7Fz24w/s1600/VegasTripJune2010TaoBeach.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlXISuTlJkn7xq6DKLkPKOUhlT9Z1NOhQBIzd1o_0UGSzzjjx-7SrHLO3n5Novsg9OiXJwdLgbXIcQqtLm3UliaJuZT05rCwt7yq5sAP8SXIhpmWLQpVJq_5ZhcRZk_NxKYvUQf7Fz24w/s320/VegasTripJune2010TaoBeach.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480164931809580514" /></a><br />The next day we went to Tao Beach and then the rest of the day equally went by in a flash...lunch, Lavo, XS, Haze. I was surprised how well this day went. I can't even put my happiness in words...<br /><br />Saturday was a little bit more chaotic. We hit up Liquid and Wet Republic. Wet Republic ended up being an awesome pool party/sex orgy. The highlight of this party was watching a girl fall while running. Watching her fall made up for all the other girls who splashed water in my face while running around drunk. That's what you get you fucking idiot. Try to look a little bit more sexy next time. <br /><br />At the end of the night things started to get unclear as to what would happen next. Our flight the next day departed at 7AM! Despite my exhaustion and complaints about the heat, I'm already thinking about the next time I can go.

Thank you Elle!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Pisces</span><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">February 19-March 20</span><br />Weekend Update:<br />May 28, 2010<br /><br />There’s freedom in letting go, Pisces, so if you’ve been feeling sleepy, heavy, or weighed down, it’s time for a release. Be it an unhealthy relationship, toxic habit, or personal possessions that no longer suit your style, it’s time to pack ‘em up and send ‘em out. Accept an invitation to spend Memorial Day weekend with a group of people you admire and enjoy. Their broad-minded thinking and conscious outlook on the world will inspire a sense of activism in you. So maybe you’re not the type to protest or picket…there are still plenty of actions you can take to raise awareness for an important cause, like the oil spill cleanup or domestic violence awareness. On Sunday, Saturn lifts the embargo on your love life, filling you up with the spirit of Eros. You can finally see clearly how and who you’d like to spend the next chapter of your life with. If you haven’t actually MET that person yet, pick up a copy of “Calling In The One,” by Katherine Thomas. She met her soulmate at age 40 and had a child shortly thereafter, and she shares her secrets for manifesting love in this moving, workbook style tome.<br /><br />- Horoscopes provided by The AstroTwinsCoquettishly Yourshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08710488694749621364noreply@blogger.com0
