snowboarding expedition


Yesterday I went to work and headed to one of the local mountains right after and caught up with a good friend of mine. It was amazingly fun. Mother Nature decided to make it snow right after the Olympics left. It was snowing the entire time on the mountain and the powder was AMAZING to ride on. Plus there were cute guys who were trying to pick us up to ride with me and my friend. We didn't end up riding with any of them, but it really reminded me of how much I love snowboarding!! I want to go again! TGIF! <3

glam rock shoes






I'm so in love with these Nika shoes by Rock & Republic. They are so sexy yet hard core too. I love it! They are $295 and you can get them at footcandyshoes! <3

House of Dereon s/s 10


Beyonce looks stunning in the Spring 2010 collection of her and her mother's collection House of Dereon. Her huge hair works for this shoot and the colors look amazing on her! <3


Carey Mulligan's award winning dress


The Academy Awards were on Sunday if you didn't know and were completely unaware! But I absolutely loved Carey Mulligan's Prada dress. It was so chic, yet still had a playful character to it. It was simple, but was beaded in little scissors and forks! it was so cute! Plus I love her short pixie hair. It suits her so well and her fresh, cutesy face.


Another dress I loved was Rachel McAdams Elie Saab dress. Not to mention I love her! She looked gorgeous! <3

Karl always knows how to do it


Karl Lagerfeld changed the Grand Palais into a giant melting iceberg. It even had the "arctic ocean" and a centimeter of water. The models got there faux fur boots wet. It was inspired from the ice hotel in Sweden. Love it! <3

movie review: Alice in Wonderland in 3D



So Friday I went to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D. The effects were absolutely fabulous along with the actors and costume design. The storyline on the other hand was blah. The beginning was good, but the end was dumb. It reminded me of a Harry Potter movie or something. I wish it wasn't so predictable. The acting was fabulous though and each character really fit the part. I liked it but didn't, but it was worth watching in 3D. <3

i never thought i would hate writing so much

I thought I enjoyed writing, but clearly I don't. Every Monday I dread going to this one English course because it's scholarly writing, and so different from what I'm used to which are business and marketing plans and writing for case studies. PRACTICAL writing basically. When the eff am I ever going to write like a scholar besides school? Yet this course is killing me because my writing is so bad in it. Or so I feel. It's just thrown me off balance with my once upon a time love for writing. The funny thing is in my other English course, I'm doing so much better in and getting B+/A level because it has a more creative side. Ugh. I never thought this Monday English course would make me want to rip my hair out (which I would never do). Just had to rant somewhere. <3
