We can live like this forever...

So Easter went by super quickly yesterday even though I've been eating Easter candies since last week.

I had a very nice Easter weekend besides what went down on Friday, but let's not talk about that silly business. Veronica and I had a little date night and saw Titanic in 3D which was absolutely insane. It was amazing to see it on a big screen. I didn't know how invested I was going to be watching it, but I ended up crying like a little child. It's so long that when I usually watch it like on TV or something, I can't get into it emotionally. But this time, I was bawling my big old eyes out.

Yesterday, I had a nice quiet Easter with Veronica. We went to church, took some pictures outside since it was a beautiful day, and then had brunch where else? Denny's. I don't have a lot of cute church-y clothes with me up here so I had to work with what I had. I busted out the pasty legs to wear this dress though. I seriously need to tan. My legs haven't seen daylight in months. Anyway.

We spent the rest of the day painting our nails since I bought more nail polish. I even bought a minty color which is totally not me but I just had to because everyone needs a mint color for spring. Plus Veronica is rubbing off on me a little. She loves super bright nail polish colors.

Anyway, I'll leave you with that.

What doesn't kill you...

Thanks to my wonderful computer that functions only when it wants to, my blog posts have been all over the place.

I've been super busy with school which adds to the reasons I haven't been posting a lot. I haven't done Inspiration Wednesday for two weeks now and that is not good. But I hope this Wednesday I can finally post one up for you guys.

For today's post, I decided to just talk about my current loves and favorites and some things that are on my lust list, which is still growing.

So without further ado.

The current favorites.

1. Instagram

Yes. I have become one of those people. And it's great. For those of you who don't know, Instagram is just a way to share photos on your iPhone. It has fun filters to edit your pictures and stuff and I love it. You can follow me if you'd like - @queenvictoriareigns. Smiles.

2. Kate Moss Lipstick Collection for Rimmel London

I recently bought the orange-y toned one on the far right (Veronica did too!) which is called 12. Yeah, they didn't have names. I wish they did because this is such a great collection. Also they're amazingly inexpensive which is also a plus.

3. DIY Projects

During the fall, I ordered a crap ton of studs and I became obsessed. I just finished a little something to wear at midnight for The Hunger Games inspired by the character Seneca Crane (If you don't know who that is, read the book, it'll change your life). This photo is just a sneak peek of it. I'm so excited.

4. Le Specs sunglasses in "Digital Nomad"

I cannot believe I actually won these in a giveaway from Analisa over at Rouge Fox. It's been pretty sunny here so I've been wearing these all the time. However today was not so sunny so it might rain which sucks. But whatever, I'm still in love with these.

And on the Lust List.

1. The Hunger Games merchandise

Of course I want everything they came out with like the Peeta pillow case, the bookmark, multiple shirts, a mockingjay pin, etc. but I particularly love the China Glaze nail polish collection for The Hunger Games that is out now. Today my mother sent me this picture since she was super awesome and got them for me since there isn't anywhere I can get them here. So excited to wear them. Thanks mom!

2. American Apparel Disco Pants

I swore to myself that I would get these. I've been obsessing over them for a really long time. So it's about time that I get them. They go with basically everything and they're just amazeballs.

So there you go. Hopefully I will see you very soon.

Year after year...

"On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was." - Mean Girls

Yes I just quoted from Mean Girls, but October 3rd means it's bester Jimmy Jam's 20th birthday!

My mom took the new photo a couple weeks ago before I left because I hadn't seen him for a while so we decided to get some Panera (yum) and chat about stuffs and catch up (me wearing a really blah outfit since I wanted to be comf). And the other is of us in kindergarten. I know, aww. I've known that guy since we were little (a really long time, about fourteen years), he's one of my best friends, such a great friend. I hope he has an amazing day. xo

In other news, I don't know if I said this before but my roommate and bester Veronica does make up tutorials and reviews on youtube. The other day she decided that I was going to be in one of her videos and we did a fall nail polish trends video together. I was terrified because I feel that blogging is way different from talking to a camera. And I can perform in front an audience but I can't just talk to a camera. That's her forte. I'll stick with blogging. But anyway, she's really good at what she does, so if you have a youtube account, you should subscribe to her here.

And here is our first video together:

Yes, I'm making drunk eyes, but yeah.

Enjoy. She's probably going to make me do some more. Smiles.

Oh and I'll make sure to put up some more outfit posts.

And if you didn't watch the premiere of Dexter tonight, you should.

ANOTHER THING I FORGOT (story time):

A day or so ago, I woke up and checked my blog. To my surprise, I saw that Natalie Suarez from Natalie Off Duty commented on my last post and I freaked out. If you don't know who she is, shame on you. She is a big inspiration to me and seeing her comment made me really happy. Anyway. Smiles.

I may be bad...

Now I know a lot of people hate her, but I love Kristen Stewart. I don't know why people don't like her. She has great style, a hot man, hair that does whatever she wants it to do, movies that are making her a fortune. Yeah sure, she's alright at the acting thing but come on who cares?

So I've been really busy rehearsing for bestie Kristen's senior recital this week and I realized I didn't get to post anything about the MTV Movie Awards so I'm going to do that now.

Kristen Stewart likes to take risks on the red carpet which I love. And I love when a celebrity has a dress that gets haters and lovers. I thought her red Balmain minidress was amazing and the fact that it has safety pins all over it and I still like it makes it great because I don't usually like punky clothing.

Also her hair is effortless. She makes me miss not having bangs.

Oh and another thing - her nail color. It's like a dark navy blue and I want it now. I looked it up and of course it's Essie. It's called "Midnight Cami." Love.

Anyway.

Sing a sad song just to turn it around...

Last weekend of my first year at college in Santa Cruz meant do as much as we can in the city in one day.

I guess you can say Veronica and I had the best and the worst day ever.

We went shopping around downtown yesterday, looking for things to buy and we did. I had a good haul from Salvation Army of course, and an awesome necklace from Crossroads Trading Co. I can't tell you how much I love that store.

Friday night, we went into Urban Outfitters and Veronica and I found a gorgeous nail color and I had to think about it but we finally bought it yesterday. Mine was a cool periwinkle blue called "Crowded" and hers was a peachy apricot one called "Hangover." We took pictures of them at Pizza My Heart where we ate yummy pizza. The guy in the corner of the picture was this cutie who was dressed pretty classy with a coat, newsboy hat, and glasses, reading a book outside the restaurant. Cutest thing ever.

Which brings me to our outfits. Layers in June. It was raining and windy and cold. I was wearing a depths of the winter outfit and I did not like that one bit. Is this how Santa Cruz works? Hot in February and cold in June? Well, alright.

Last part of the day, Veronica's car was towed in the Trader Joe's parking lot which I thought was absolutely ridiculous. We were there for more than three hours so we were towed. I wonder how many cars they tow a day. A parking lot is a parking lot. So that whole tow thing does not make any sense to me.

But yes, a bittersweet day.

Let's hear it...

So a couple of things:

1. A couple of days ago, I got my nails done at Urbane Beauty Care on Myrtle Ave. and I love them. It was my first time there since I wanted to try a new place out and plus I had a gift card that I got for my birthday so it was perfect. I found the perfect steel gray color at Target and it

wasn't expensive at all.

2. Yesterday was officially Senior Ditch Day and it was super. It was a really long day and I was very tired by the end of it, but it was worth it. We basically went everywhere. There were twenty of us and we all jumped on the Metro in Pasadena first thing in the morning and messed around in L.A. and on Olvera Street. Then we took a bus to Santa Monica and walked along the beach all the way to Venice. It was a pretty awesome. Then after that, the monkey and I went the Fiesta Carnival at my church, which is always fun. And it only happens once a year, every Memorial Day weekend. I had a great time. I love time with friends.

3. I am currently waiting for my sister and mother to come home so they can start helping me get ready for my senior prom, which is tonight. And I'm also waiting for my monkey to drop off the boutonniere I'm going to be putting on his amazing suit. We have pretty orchids.

I hope I have the greatest time ever tonight.

Smiles.

I like it like that...

It's that time again!

The Wish List, whose name has officially changed to:

The Lust List

So as we all know, spring is on it's way, which means there are things to look forward to.

Here are just a couple of things:

1. Dark nail polish. I'm thinking a steel gray to match my prom dress (which is in the works by the way), since it won't really match. And I love that.

2. Playsuits, jumpsuits, and rompers. I can't believe I only have one romper. I want another one. End of story.

3. H&M's Spring Swimwear Collection. I can't pick just one. I might mix and match a little. They're all fun.

Anyway, time for me to lust.
