Oh lets get rich and buy everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance

yesterday while walking on the Santa Monica Promenade, 
this hipppie looking beauty suddenly caught my eye...
the woman of the store said she would only hold this for 30 mins  since it was the very last one and the rest had sold very fast. i spent 10 mins thinking about weather to take it home with me or let it find a new owner, then i quickly rushed back to the store with my friend and swiped it back up! i swear i had the biggest smile on yesterday walking amongst all the long legged tanned beauties with their purse dogs and equally tanned man lovers :)

its cozy, amazing fit, colorful to my standards, worth every penny and is favorite purchase of the summer!
and i am so happy

this song is happy happy happy too :D

oh L.A. !





breakfast line at 8:30am. food was good but the portions were huge!
loving the detail of all these old buildings
so tall....
me & my mom waiting for my dad who was looking at construction going on inside
the Jonathan Clubhouse rooftop garden 
architecture, i can't pin point exactly what i like about it, but i just do . . .
what do you like about it?
the view from the 32nd floor of the Biltmore Hotel...

cascading windows
trying to take a picture of the pink sofa, got a picture of me and bikers whizzing by-not too bad
the mirrored windows stand out so well against the summer blue sky spotted with wispy clouds :) 
500 Days of Summer inspired moment :)

bits and pieces


summer uniform: inspired by the 'kate moss' white tee & jean shorts look

shirt(bad shot): forever 21, shorts: Anthropology, bag: old one from second grade :P
accessories i've been favoring lately:
M&M belt from the M&M store in NY, ring and watch from Forever 21

kate moss also wore black flats in her classic look but i decided to pick one of these three instead, just to change it up a bit
...can you guess which one?

saw this in the clothing department at the Galleria, Burberry Flannel ahhh :)
coffee cups & Tea cups!
what comes to mind when you see a bow tie: CHUCK BASS
...p.s. if anyone knows if he ended up dying or just getting attacked in the season finale, i would love to know!

not faking it?



" This definitely looks photoshopped but actually it's a life-size photographic work based on the original building in Paris, printed on canvas, enhanced with bas-relief. It shelters the renovation of an Hausmannian building during year 2007. The project is named"39GeorgeV" is an urban surrealism manifesto. " - interesting article i found the other day on Tumblr
  


you've probably seen this picture in tabs or ads somewhere saying "real or fake? you decide!" or "photoshopped wonders" whatever the case, i saw it and after finding out that the photo was totally normal and only the building was a mindblowing work of art, i chose to look at it from a semi artistic viewpoint rather than a judging disbeliever of artistic masterpieces
.      .     .
my opinion of the photos of this one of a kind "urban surrealism project" is that it is truly magnificent and totally INSANE! the weirdness and lack of structure/form of the building are probably the characteristics that entice people the most and give it a truly one of a kind look and feel of a seriously messed up looking building!

check out the photos in the link and tell me what you think?
would you be cool with having any structure in your town (or anyother town) look something like this?

Sweet but Sad


i just found out the story of this tattoo…
A case in point is Beth Loster, 24, a San Francisco writer and waitress who was a student at UC Berkeley when she met a young man who said, “Hey, we have tattoos in the same font.”
The text of her tattoo - “clad in the panoply of love” - came from “Science & Health” by Mary Baker Eddy. “I like the way the written word looks on the body,” she said. “And that phrase made me feel safe.” His tattoo, also in a “typewriter” typeface, was in Latin. (She can’t recall the translation.)
The text of Loster’s next tattoo was written by that young man, who had become her boyfriend. Before leaving for South America, where he was going to study, he left a note on her refrigerator that began, “this is on account of my loving you forever.” That phrase - in the form of a tattoo - offered her comfort when he was killed in a car accident in Brazil.
i never knew the story behind this until now, how heart-breaking

you kept us awake with wolfs teeth

Happy Sunday!
with bittersweet notes and a semi uplifting video full of color and life, this song leaves you with the idea that songs are more than just beats and lyrics, they're words and sounds that bring up memories or even help you create new ones, or at least thats my opinion on it...anyway this is one of my favorite songs along with a wonderful music video to be interpreted however you please.

oh boy

i just have to say, i've developed a recent crush on the actor,
Joseph Gordon-Levitt :D


who happens to be in two of my all time favorite movies: 
(the voice of Jim who, i admit secretly had a crush on already)in Treasure Planet, and 500 Days of Summer
his other noteworthy preformances you should really see: 
Stop-Loss, Brick, Mysterious Skin and Inception.

He's adorable. He holds his own in both indie films and big blockbusters like Inception too. and he just seems like a sweet boyfriend type-yay for sweet boyfriend types!
