Heaven is place on earth with you...

Hi blog family!

So a couple of things.

1. I haven't had internet in my apartment for the longest time so I've trekked to the library of all places to do my blogging. That is how much I love you all. Since I don't have internet I've been bugging Veronica and watching Youtube videos with her since she has internet. We saw that Urban Decay is coming out with a second Naked Palette. I really wanted the first one... And now I want the second one.

2. The next time I'll be blogging probably won't be until I get home for winter break because of all of the finals and studying and packing and what not I need to do before Tuesday which is when I'm coming home. Thank the Lord. Thanksgiving break was not long enough.

3. I'm really happy I thought about Inspiration Wednesday because it keeps me thinking about my blog and giving all of you guys something to read. So today is another one I'm excited to show you.

4. My last post about Thanksgiving didn't have a Christmas Lust List ending attached to it because I didn't have any more to show you guys but never fear. I have another set of things added to my list.

So first, the inspiration.

We all know how close I am with my sister. As you can see, my inspiration this week is sisters. Especially since I am super excited for my photoshoot with my big sissy this coming break. She is a huge inspiration in my life in everything and we love other sisters who inspire us.

1. Dakota and Elle Fanning (These girls are practically cherubs. Love them.)

2. Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim Kardashian (Don't care what people say, they are so entertaining to watch. Haha.)

3. Natalie and Dylana Suarez (My sister, along with these two girlies, made me want to start blogging. Smiles.)

4. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (Um, duh.)

Here's an update on the Christmas Lust List.

1. Opaque Over-the-Knee Cable Knit Sock in Bordeaux from American Apparel

All the over the knee socks I have are black. Why is that? I now want these red ones and some charcoal gray ones. Yay.

2. Alexander McQueen skull scarf in black

Beautiful. Enough said.

3. TOMS shoes in the Classic black canvas

It's really bad because I want these only because I see them everywhere. But I really do want a pair. I think they're cutesies.

4. Harry Potter: Page to Screen, The Complete Filmmaking Journey

On Black Friday, my sister and I saw this book at Barnes & Noble and our jaws dropped. It's a huge as balls book. I just thought, Oh my god, all my dreams. (If you get my reference I'll love you forever.)

Also thank you to my sister who showed me this song.

A very busy Wednesday indeed, but that is no reason to skip our beloved Inspiration Wednesday.

I am finally home in my lovely hometown of Monrovia. I got here last night and it feels like I had never left for Santa Cruz. Smiles.

I had such a long day, got a flu shot, made a crap ton of cake pops (not too bad for my first time, who needs Starbucks? Winky face), then met up with the sister after her work and finally went to see Like Crazy at the Arclight in Sherman Oaks. I loved it because it was Like Crazy, but I have mixed feelings about the entirety of it and the story. I don't know if that makes sense. Oh well, that's why I'm not a movie critic. Just go see it is my advice.

The inspiration for today (especially my outfit choice) comes from two of my favorite bloggers, Natalie Suarez from Natalie Off Duty, and Rumi Neely from Fashiontoast.

I feel that a lot of my styling of outfits and purchases come from these two lovely ladies, especially recently. I find that both of them are edgy yet sophisticated and polished at the same time and I love that. They can wear spikes and have it look proper. It's kind of something I strive for in my looks all the time, and they are the reason I do. I'm almost twenty and I feel

like it's getting to the point where I have to have my own style figured out for the rest of my life. They are helping me find that. Smiles.

Can't wait for Thanksgiving! And shopping, which means, Lust List time.

1. Kimchi & Blue Lace Up Cone Heel Boot in red at Urban Outfitters

Who doesn't want to own a pair of red booties???

2. Pocket long sleeve shirt from Romwe

I love this shirt. I think they're out of black which sucks. But anything from Romwe is kind of awesome. Amazeballs in fact. I'd be happy with any piece of clothing they sell to me. That might be taking it too far but you get it. Smiles.

3. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

Do you hate it as much as I do when they turn novels into movies before you get a chance to read them? I don't hate them for doing it, I just kinda hate myself for not getting to it before they do. I need to read this. Two words - Emma and Watson.

4. Patent loafers from H&M

I don't even know if these exist anymore, but I saw them on Andy from Style Scrapbook and I fell in love. Enough said.

Have a great holiday all! I know I will.

We're gonna dance on fire...

As you may have seen here, here, and here, I love all things sequined.

Therefore it is not a surprise that I fell in love with a little something called Disco Pony.

"The Natalie Gold" dress

I discovered Zoey Bittleston of Make Shift Model from reading the lovely blog of Natalie Suarez of Natalie Off Duty, which is one of my favorite blogs to read. She is the CEO and designer of Disco Pony and has these amazing as balls sequin pieces. To put it simply, I want every single one of them, particularly the "Natalie" dress shown.

So I was daydreaming (as always), and wondered what I would wear with this incredible dress if I was to own it. With all of these thoughts bouncing around in my head, I went to Polyvore and had some great fun.

It's such an amazing dress, I would feel so lucky and glamorous to wear it.

Absolutely my kind of dress. Smiles.

Anyway.

Bestie Veronica turned 19 yesterday and we had a fun day. Just going to post some photos of our midnight toast for her birthday. I'll have an official birthday post for her after this weekend, since we're going to wreak more havoc. So excited.

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.
