Michelle Williams looks absolutely stunning here! I will have to imitate this outfit when I get off of bed rest! (Btw – I am still on bed rest for a couple of weeks, so bear with me!)

Her dress is adorable, yet sleek! I love the short length, showing off her gorgeous stems! The Fitted Bodice Mini Dress in Black Astro is from SUNO’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection.

She is wearing Stella McCartney's Maia Platform Wedge in Bone/Beige (pricey $735 at NeimanMarcus.com). They definitively elongate her legs and are perfect for Spring/Summer! It’s too bad I can’t wear open-toes to work!!

OMG, it also comes in Red! I'll have to look out for a "cheaper" version of these wedges when I am back on my "feet"! LOL =P

Also, did she get a shorter pixie-cut hairdo? I think it looks lovely on her!

I'm not dead! - 5/10/10

I have been going through some things but am so thankful that I am not dead! Without going into too much detail, I have been in the hospital and on meds. I am currently on bed rest but hope to be back to normal soon!

With that said, life is beautiful and I chose to enjoy it. As such, I have decided to create a “bucket list” starting with (slowly) reviving this blog! Here is my bucket list thus far:

.

1. Revive this blog! =)
2. Learn to play the piano – I’m starting to pick it up again!
3. Travel the world – This would require its own list! (To come later)
4. Attend a Fashion Show in New York (or Paris) during Fashion Week! I've actually attended a fashion show in Paris! BUT it wasn't a well-known designer's show =(
5. Pick up photography – I would love to take beautiful photos, enlarge them, and hang them in my house!

Life is too short to stress out. Life is too short to let it pass me by. There are major, exciting changes in my life! I hope that same for all of you =)

Bittersweet Birthday Outfit! - 8/29/09

I wore this outfit on my Birthday. Birthdays are bittersweet for me.

Its not about getting old but more about..presents. I know! That sounds so lame!!

On one hand, I love anticipating “the best day of the year” (*wink*) but when MY day comes - I end up feeling disappointed. I think it’s hard for those who surround me to buy gifts for me.

It's bizarre because I think it’s so easy to buy me gifts! I always have a running list of items I want and, if all else fail, I LOVE CLOTHES!!! Gift cards are heaven!!

Anyway, back to the outfit! I adore the Glam/Rocker chic look right now! I love a feminine outfit with a touch of studs! STUDS are everywhere! I LOVE STUDS! ;)

Bittersweet Birthday Outfit:
Seven for all Mankind Skinny Jeans - about $70! I forgot the price because its been too long.
Wetseal Top in Black – about $10!
Wetseal Necklace - about $4!
Wetseal Studded Belt - about $1!
Joey O Studded Heels from Ross! - $14.99! See more on this item here!

Bomshel’s “Fight Like A Girl” – 8/25/09

I LOVE this song! I heard it on iheartradio over the weekend and cannot stop listening to it. I absolutely love uplifting songs.

I like listening to songs with the lyrics displayed. The lyrics are so powerful!!

My favorite verse is "KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES"!!

Comic-Con in San Diego! - 7/23/2009 (Late Post)

Sooooo…My sister and I went to Comic-Con in San Diego on Thursday, July 23, 2009 to see Summit’s New Moon Panel! That was almost a month ago but I remember it like it was yesterday! That day was so crazyyyy!!
.

Here was my schedule:

9:00 – I got to the convention center too late! The line was ridiculously long! I’ve never been in a line that long in my life! After 2 hours of waiting, we got our badge (after overcoming issues regarding my name). We then ran over to the Hall H line where the New Moon panel was to be shown.

11:00 – We got to the Hall H line & OMMGGG...The line was soo much longer than the badge line earlier. I couldn’t believe it!! Seriously, it was miles long! Comic-Con staff actually informed us NOT to get in line (TWICE!) because apparently there was NO WAY we would get in =(

We got in line anyway.. miles away from the entrance. We met some very cool people in line! Comic-Con staff came by (AGAIN) to tell the line that we’re not getting in. Many people leave the line but we stuck to it. The line slowly moved as I slowly melted in the heat.

After how many hours, we somehow get near the freaking entrance to the HALL!!!

.

1:40 –Summit was to start their panels at 1:45 – that’s in 5 MINS!! We got to the front of the line and were the 4th and 5th person. OMFG, they closed the Hall entrance doors. We’re SOL!! I almost started CRYINGGG!!

.

1:45 – FIVE MINUTES LATER, thanks to 2 certain people - we luckily got in. I believe we were the last two people to enter the hall. I really reallllyyy do felt bad for the others that stood in line and couldn’t get in. I was sooo close to being one of those. I would have been SAD for days =(

.

Inside Hall H:

.

1:46 – Once inside, there were NO SEATS for us!! Security tells us to go outside since we don’t have a seat and it is a fire hazard. YOU’RE ASKING US TO LEAVE???!! I don’t freakin’ think so buddy! We snuck our way to the front of the auditorium!! OMG, we were THISCLOSE to the cast!! LOLLL!

At the end of the day, I had an amazing adventure with my lovely sister. Oh, what a day! To top it off, our parking was supposed to be $20 but we ended up only having to pay $5! AND we parked extremely close to the convention center! HAH, what a freakin’ day! ;)

After all of that, I got:

1. Sunburned: I never got sunburned before!
2. A huge blister on my ankle from wearing new flats that day.
3. A huge SMILE for being able to experience something so amazing!

Blue Pumps at Target! – 7/18/09

First of all, why do guys hate Target?? I love that place! I can wander and wander the aisles for hours! From Beddings to Lean Cuisines, they have everything there!

On the other hand, my BF is HATES Target. He is always in and out of there – giving me NO chance to shop! =(

.

On one of our rare trips to Target, I wandered into the shoe section.. and found these BLUE PUMPS!! I’ve been looking for blue pumps! In fact, I believe it’s on my “Wish List”. It was on clearance for $21!! Oh how I love bargain shopping! =)

Mossimo Heels in Dark Blue from Target: $21

I love the rounded toes look! These heels are not only soo stylish, they are super comfy too!

I believe these heels are about 3 3/4 or 4"! I love the height of these pumps! Makes my short legs look a little longer! =P

Also, I have my eyes on these flats from Target. Aren't they super adorable!! And it comes in tons of fun colors! Ah, perfect for summer...

Inspirational Songs Outfit - 7/2/09

I know I’ve been MIA, it’s been crazy busy at work. Hopefully, the craziness will now ease up and I can return to a “normal” schedule!

I am currently listening to and LOVE Miley Cyrus’ song – “The Climb”! It is such an inspirational song. Listening to this song motivates me when I want to give up (and I’ve been wanting to give up so many times during the last couple of months!). I love how songs like this can produce such a great emotion. These songs stick with me for life.

Speaking of inspirational songs – I am saddened by the news of Michael Jackson’s death. I grew up listening to his music and loved his dance moves. He inspired so many artists and was an extremely generous philanthropist. The list of greatness goes on and on. His brother, Jermaine Jackson, stated it best in an interview on NBC’s "Today" show that Michael as a “gift from Allah”. His death has impacted so many people and I feel compassion for his family. May you rest in peace, Michael Jackson =(

I’ve been asking people, “What is your favorite Michael Jackson song?”
My favorite is – “Do you remember the time?” I also like “Heal the world”.
I love how most of his songs are soo inspirational – such as “Man in the Mirror”.

Banana Republic Pants in Plaid
