One step closer...

Another Inspiration Wednesday comin' at ya!

Today, my sister and Geo came to visit me for a couple of hours and took Veronica and I out for lunch at where else? Burger. I love them. That post is coming up a little later. We took lots of pictures so don't worry. Smiles.

So I have expressed my liking for the Twilight Saga multiple times on this blog. I'll admit, I do like it. But compare it to Harry Potter, I'll despise it because nothing will beat that. They even copied the two part thing but that doesn't matter. The point I'm making is I actually enjoy it. I'm not afraid to admit it.

Because first, I'm in love with Robert Pattinson (and pretty sure I'd date Kristen Stewart as well). I think the story is only pretty good because I feel it could have been written a whole lot better if it was written by someone else. The movies have gotten better as far as graphics and acting goes which makes me really happy because I was dying in the first one. And this whole thing has been a best friends group social thing. We've all read it and seen it at midnight together since I was a junior in high school.

While I'm a little sad I won't get to see it with the regular crew, I get to see it with bestie

Veronica on a little midnight date tomorrow night and I'm probably going to see the second part with her as well as the crew, next summer. We got our tickets a couple days ago and I am very excited.

So today's Inspiration Wednesday consists of the Twilight Saga throughout the years and

everything I have loved about it. Just to warn you - lots of photos coming up.

Smiles.

Oh and here are some more things from the Christmas Lust List.

1. Lomography Diana F+ Flash

I still haven't quite gotten the hang of my Diana camera which sucks balls but I'm trying. I feel like an idiot because I can't work it yet but I still want accessories for it. I realize I just like having things. Anyway.

2. American Apparel Thick Knit Jersey Skirt in black

I saw this a long time ago and thought Eh, people like it a lot but it's pretty plain. But then I saw it on Rumi Neely from Fashiontoast and she styled it so well that I want it now. I love her style. And it's pretty inexpensive for AA.

3. Breaking Dawn Part I soundtrack

If you haven't yet listened to the songs on this, I suggest you do. The song for today's post, A Thousand Years, by Christina Perri, is lovely. And the wedding version of Flightless Bird, American Mouth, by Iron & Wine, is just beautiful. I didn't think that song could get any better.

4. Diamond Candles in Pumpkin Chai

A lot of my favorite things wrapped into one: a soy candle, pumpkin, chai, and rings. Every one of their candles comes with a ring either worth $10, $100, $1000, or $5000. You can't go wrong. You have to burn them and then dig out the ring. It's great. I want one.

I might do a Kristen Stewart promoting Breaking Dawn fashion post soon after all of the hype is over.

F21 LEGGINGS AND TANK/ THRIFTED BLAZER WITH VINTAGE PINS/ OVER THE KNEE BOOTS - ME TOO/ NYX LIPSTICK IN B52

Goodbye all black!

This was my last black outfit for run crew. I decided to make an outfit post for you all after we striked the stage and dressing room and everything was clean. I was really bummed to see it all go away. I'm going to miss giggling with the girls on the headset and running around telling actors what to do and hearing scandalous stories.

This blazer is still a work in progress as you can maybe tell. I got inspiration from Effy in the show Skins. Her jacket is amazeballs. I just need more pins.

More from the Christmas Lust List. Smiles.

1. Vagabond Grace ankle boot in black leather

I would love an ankle boot that I can wear with anything and that has a small chunky heel perfect for any occasion. This is what I would want them to look like. They don't even have to be these exact ones, I just want a pair.

2. Huge chunky scarf I found on Ebay in red

Surprisingly I don't have a big scarf that isn't a tube scarf or an infinity scarf. I love this red one. It's so Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City movie.

3. StyleMint Abbot Kinney v-neck t-shirt in heather grey

These shirts are all I hear about everywhere. I kinda want to see what all the fuss is about. I also think that anything worn by the Olsen twins is amazeballs.

4. Silver Griffin left ear cuff

I'm not one to have more than one hole in my ears so I love the idea of ear cuffs. Also, this one is super cool. It's so different from every other one I've seen. I want it.

So excited for this week. Love you all.

VINTAGE BLAZER AND LOUIS VUITTON PURSE/ F21 JEANS, TAUPE CARDIGAN AND TANK/ H&M SCARF/ SHOES - FLEA MARKET/ NYX LIPSTICK IN B52

Happy Saturday!

I just love fall. You know why? Pumpkin Spiced lattes. They are my love every season.

If you follow me on Twitter, I will be posting a photo every time I get one. Let's see how many I have by the end of the season. And Veronica posts pics of her Peppermint White mochas too. Follow her here. Smiles.

I haven't actually dressed up for something in a while because it was raining cats and dogs and I stuck to my big mens Forever 21 jacket and it was all I wore all the time. I figured today was a nice day so I'll dress up. I got the red blazer at Salvation Army and I had yet to wear it but it's my new favorite.

Life is getting so much better. Maybe because I'm going home for Thanksgiving really soon and my sister is coming to visit me this week and bester Kristen is staying in Santa Cruz for a while. Maybe. I'm really excited.

If you haven't heard, I'm doing run crew for a show at UCSC and the last show is tomorrow. Doing this show made me really miss doing theatre and acting. It made me extremely busy but I am very sure I will miss it a lot afterward.

Oh and I dyed my hair again but it's fading. Again. I need a lighter color.

Lately, I've been busy with the show, eating lots of food, trying to study, and playing Modern Warfare 3 with Veronica. Smiles.

Anyway. I'm excited for life. What are you all excited for?

Here are some more things from the Christmas Lust List.

1. MAC Lipstick in Such Flare from the Glitter and Ice Collection

I need a true red lipstick before I change my mind. This one is gorge. And it's from their new collection.

2. Minolta SRT 101 35mm camera in black with flash

I love the look of old cameras. Especially when they are not that expensive. And I absolutely love 35 mm cameras.

3. Lomography 35mm Redscale film

This film looks so cool when it gets developed. I need to have it for my Nikon 35mm camera.

4. Crazy Stupid Love on DVD

Ryan Gosling. Enough said.

Every time she closed her eyes...

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed me saying something about a little thing called Inspiration Wednesday.

I realized that I have things in my life that get me through the day most of the time, and these can be anything ranging from my thoughts to what foods I've been wanting or eating to people that play a role in my life. I thought I would share them with you every Wednesday because first, everyone needs a little something to give them a boost on Hump Day. I know I do. Also, this will keep me blogging at least once a week even if I get too busy to post anything else during the week. I can't abandon this blog again. I did once and I regret it very much. I'm glad I'm back and happy that all of you care about what I have to say. Smiles.

But anyway. This first Inspiration Wednesday consists of my current loves at the moment which makes me very happy.

1. Free People's November catalog. If you haven't looked through it yet, you're missin' out. I love how they go through the decades and the different amazing styles each one had.

2. Studs and spikes. I have been obsessed with them since I made shorts for myself and my sister. I'm ordering them in bulk now since I feel like studding everything I effing own. And these Jeffrey Campbell spiked Litas are gorge. They are the next Jeffrey Campbells I will buy for sure.

3. Supernovae. I'm currently in an astronomy class this quarter and right now we're learning about supernovae. I absolutely love what a supernova looks like. Anything with a galaxy print I love. It reminds me of the Christopher Kane Galaxy Collection. And yes I want all of it.

4. Like Crazy. I posted the trailer for this movie on here about a month ago or something and I can't wait to see it with my sister when I go home for Thanksgiving. It's beautiful to look at and I will be posting about it again in the near future.

So I hope you all enjoyed Inspiration Wednesday.

Here are more things on the Christmas Lust List that you can enjoy as well. Smiles.

1. ASOS Paisley print Bodycon dress

This dress might not be on the site anymore which is really sad because it's my favorite dress from ASOS, along with this one and this one. It's gorge. Love paisley prints.

2. For Emma, Forever Ago by Bon Iver on vinyl

Such a good album to have on vinyl. If you don't love Justin Vernon, there's something wrong with you. Beautiful.

3. Jessica Simpson Colie shoe in black leather

I have mentioned this sexy shoe briefly before. It's a great black pump to wear with any dress and it's simple but it still has an edge and that's what I love.

4. Essie nail polish in Midnight Cami

I've posted about this nail polish before when I saw it on Kristen Stewart. Still want it.

Anyway. xo

Standing on my own two feet...

Just another day at school.

I wore this outfit to class yesterday. This was before it started raining hard as balls. It was a very good break from the all the black I have to wear for the show. And it was just a comfortable outfit to wear. But I apologize for my weirdness in the pictures. I had no idea I was going to put this outfit in a post.

So over the past couple of days, I have been in a little funk with life here in Santa Cruz. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love it here. But I need a break. I not only want to go home, I NEED to go home. Even for a little bit. I am going banana sandwich here. I can't wait for the sister and bester to visit me here. And I abso-freaking-lutely can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving. I know I said that in the last post, but I can't say it enough.

But enough of the pity party.

As promised, here are more things from the Christmas Lust List, which always makes me smile.

1. Ray-Ban Classic Clubmaster Sunglasses Black

I have always wanted a pair like this. Always. Because everyone knows that they will never go out of style ever.

2. Adam Levine (Just kidding.) Who The Fuck Is Mick Jagger shirt mens M

This shirt is kinda legendary. Originally worn by Keith Richards and now sexy Adam Levine in his "Moves Like Jagger" video. I want.

3. Sage Cross-Front Maxi Skirt in taupe by BB Dakota on Threadsence

I have a new love for weird-looking maxi skirts. This one is lovely.

4. Colorsplash 35mm camera in Chrome

This camera is amazing. I've seen the pictures it takes because Rosee Rose has one and it's just fun times. I feel like I have too many cameras but frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. Smiles.

Run faster, jump higher...

This is what an actress doing tech looks like.

Oh so busy! But happy November everyone!

For the first time ever, I'm on run crew for a play instead of acting in it. It's very different but I actually really love it. It's called Let's Murder the Moonshine and I think it's pretty awesome.

I was told to wear all black, but being the little drama queen I am I had to add a little pizzazz to the all black. This is one of my favorite sweaters ever. I haven't worn it in forever and I'm so glad I brought it to Santa Cruz with me. So soft.

But anyway, I am looking forward to wearing all black this week and next week for the run of the show.

Other news:

If you haven't already noticed my hair is ombré. I dyed it about a week ago. It's faded a little bit, but don't you fret, I'm dying it again to make it a little lighter. I really like it. My hair has been

dark dark brown for almost twenty years. I felt it was time for a change. Even a small one.

So it is November, which means it's time for the holidays. That makes me extremely happy. I get to go home and see my lovely friends and family, who I miss a lot.

Every Thanksgiving I debut my Christmas Lust List to my family but I decided to do something

a little different this year. Every other blog post this month and next I will post a couple of things on the list for my secret messengers (*cough* sissy and K-Fed).

So without further ado:

1. The NAKED Palette from Urban Decay

Veronica's boyfriend bought this for her and it came in the mail last week. I got a good look at it and it's gorge. I love.

2. The Mountain Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt Mens M

I want another wolf shirt. Enough said.

3. Forever 21 leatherette and mesh leggings

I don't know if these are still online but I want something like them. I know Romwe has a pair like them, which are good too. They're fun.

4. LUXLA Matte black silver hex bracelet

I found this beautiful bracelet on the wonderful blog Color Me Nana, by Dylana Suarez and I fell in love. How could you not? So simple. So edgy.

Anyway. Smiles.
