And my heart died...

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.

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.
