being a bee+other things

i've been so busy lately with all the beta alpha psi pledge manual associate handbook. i loved (am loving) working on it, but the time crunch coupled with my impending midterm doesn't help alleviate the stress. i can't wait for the weekend and dineLA.

funniest comment i heard today while walking back to my car: "sam is so toxic to heather." i LOLed.

i gave you my chances chances

I went to LACMA (Los Angeles County Modern Art Musuem) with one of my roommate a few weeks back. We took a couple of 'model' shots at the lamp posts (how can you NOT?). We only visited 2 of the exhibits because we ran out of time for street parking. My favorite has to be the Fashioning Fashion exhibit. After our short time spent at LACMA, we went to eat at Philippe's, grabbed a beer at the Library Alehouse and walked around Santa Monica. I tried this gold sequin dress at a boutique and fell in love with it. I probably would have gotten it if the sleeves had lining (so poke-y) and if the zipper wasn't so difficult to maneuver up and down. I found a similar looking dress on Lulu's and I simply LOVE the low-cut back.

Unfortunately, it's all sold out. It would have been the perfect, albeit a bit slutty, New Year's Eve/Day outfit.

I also spent New Year's Eve with some of my favorite people:

WINTER BREAK!

what better way to celebrate the end the friday after finals and the beginning of winter break than going to the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH: Disneyland (during Christmas time)

then, on saturday i went to the moss adams holiday party and abused the photo booth

monday: went to the taping of Let's Make A Deal and dressed up as crayons. i was the teal one.

wednesday night: christmas party hosted at your's truly (pictures taken by shiv)
we cut out paper snowflakes and pinned then to the ceiling. it looked amazing.

i love the winter holidays. it never fails to warm my heart. this year, our family bought our first ever real christmas tree. we went to home depot and found a good 7ft. douglas fir and bought it, but when my dad came around with his car to load the tree, we found out that they had loaded it onto the wrong car and gave it to someone else. so this other family got a bigger tree and we were left kinda pissed. fortunately they gave us a free pick of any tree to make it up to us. in the end, we went for an 8footer half douglas half noble fir. it looks great in our living room.

It's 3:05AM and I have a paper to write for my Anthro of Religion class. I only have my intro paragraph; a short 1/2 page to my 5 page minimum paper due tomorrow today afternoon. I'm not sure if I can pull it off and why am I not panicking right now. Maybe in the next 2 hours, I'll start feeling the pressure.

TREND 1: blanket coats

i'm very excited for this one. i especially liked Diane von Furstenburg's take on it. her fall collection was breathtaking. i love the pompom hats ☺


then we have Hannah MacGibbon's collection for Chloé. i simply adore the muted grey and caramel shades.




accounting final in 2 hours! STRESS!!!

color: REDS & black

i have an accounting final tomorrow but i much rather read my fashion blogs than study. and from the countless hours spent online--researching and clicking away--i've decided to take on a small project: i will be making brief updates on what i believe are the projected trends for fall 2009.
and as the title suggests, i am thinking red & black for the impending season.

if you'd take a look at vivienne westwood's red label,


 


the issey miyake line,



prada's



and alexander mcqueen's mad hatter/alice in wonderland inspired line (hmmm....i wonder if this is in anticipation for mr. depp's new flick?)


reds and blacks are definitely the dominant colors for the fall season. well, that's it for this update. until next time! ☆

favorite collection at the moment: anna sui



next trend update: blanket coats ♪ i'm very excited for this one!!!
