Hello, Again

I'm back like a heart attack!  Hello blogsphere, it's been a minute.  Plenty has happened since I last wrote: marriage and baby!  It has been incredibly overwhelming and life changing, but wonderful and joyous at the same time.  It's totally awesome being a wife and a mother, I feel pretty special!  I don't really share details about my personal life unless you're in my tight circe of family and friends so forgive me if I digress from giving you the full scope.

There are a million things I would like to talk about and the hard part is choosing where to start...

Films.  I used to view them on a regular basis, but for some reason it's difficult to motivate myself to watch one these days. There was a period when I watched a Hitchcock film everyday and knocked out about half of his filmography.

My favorites are Marnie and The Birds.  Marnie is about a young woman who has some troubles, one of them is being distrustful of the opposite sex.  It's pretty interesting because it's very psychological, but then again you can say that about all of his films.  Marnie is also cool because it was the last film that Bernard Herman did the score for.

The Birds has the most crazed out scenario- when birds attack humans!  Honestly, it can't get better than this and the best part is that it was shot here in Northern California.  The Birds is seriously freaky, I highly recommend it.

I am totally ecstatic at the new Stanford Theater Film Schedule.  Check out how beautiful this place is...

They show classic stuff here and that means plenty of Hitchcock as well, yeeee!!!!

Update, FINALLY!

It's not my intention to be a terrible blogger, the truth is that my laptop died.  So much has happened since I last wrote: Valentine's Day, Mc Queen's death, watched a few great films- Good Heart and A Single Man.  I've also started working out on a regular basis, which has been really nice actually. 

I wish I could write a kick ass post, but I can't upload all all the photographs I've accumulated to this shitty computer and since I'm a visual gal I gotta give you a photo with a story.  Maybe I will get my laptop to work again, or perhaps get a fat tax refund and I can purchase a new one. 

Only time will tell.

Sexxy Kat Von D

I nearly creamed my pants when I saw this at the bookstore the other day.  I love this lady, she is so BEAUTIFUL and she is MEXICAN!!!  I dig her look, her tattoos are specially classic and awesome in black and grey and her hair is flawless!!!!  My favorite photo is probably the second where she is the Mother Mary pose, she looks like an angel!  I regret not ditching work a few months ago when she was at B&N in San Francisco signing autographs for a book she was promoting.  On another Kat note, has anyone tried her makeup line?  I don't own it, but I tried the tattoo concealer on my tattooless wrist and it is amazing!  I would apply it under the eyes after a night of heavy partying because it's made to hide anything!

Mostly Gold Stars at Grammy's

This year's Grammy's were a great departure from the usual garbage that is worn at this particular award show.  I don't know if you've noticed, but many artists usually opt to wear semi dressy at the verge of being casual clothes and it's no fun for someone like me who watches award shows mainly for the fashion.  I was very impressed at how beautiful and elegant most of the musicians looked like, but there were in fact two people that were dressed so miserably it hurt my retinas....

Britney Spears, in D&G

Ciara, in Givenchy Haute Couture

Damn, did they look like shit!  I wonder if Britney has gone back to the unfortunate decision of dressing herself and not hire a personal stylist.  The girl needs one 24/7 because she dresses like a hick!  I can't really recall what Ciara has chosen to wear at previous award shows, but honestly...WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE THINKING?!!!!  

Now, for some class...lovely ladies at the Grammy's...

Taylor Swift, in Kaufman Franco

Keri Hilson, in Dolce & Gabbana

Mary J. Blige, in Gucci

Karty Perry, in Zac Posen

And for my top favorite Grammy look........I am in love with this Elie Sabb Haute Couture dress!  Rihanna, who for the record I think is one of the MOST ANNOYING contemporary singers, looked GORGEOUS, CLASSY, and well put together from head to toe (I don't know what her shoes looked like because the dress was floor length, but I am going to assume they were as awesome as her dress).  I appreciate the detail of the draping, the ruffles, feathers and I really dig the sleeves (hot trend for the next season)!!

Valentine's Day Outfit

For a very special Valentine's Day this year with the most beautiful man in the world! Too bad I'm not ballin' yet, otherwise I'd be all over these ASADEI BLACK SUEDE pumps, so sexy!  Hopefully this dress fits me because I would like to have it for a very special romantic Italian dinner.  My body is changing so much, it's difficult to find clothes that don't make me look terribly fat so we'll see how this looks.  I know that if it does not work out I'll probably be able to find something else at F21, if not I will go with a back up which is a vintage black dress I own with tiny diamonds on the sleeves and cleavage (gasp)!

Snoop is WHITE!

This just made my evening, I LOVE him.

The 40's, Feathers and Big Hair

What am I loving now?  The Golden Age collection from Urban Outfitters. This is usually not my style, but I can't stop thinking about how awesome these looks are!  I think I'm just thinking about simplicity and toning it down a bit for the Spring (less black and animal prints) but mostly because I'm ready to be able to wear cute shorts like these.

I don't know who Marion Cotillard is but I am totally obsessed with the outfit she wore to the SAG Awards.  The dress is amazing, the color is hot and the feather detail at the bottom is super fun.  I've secretly been thinking about owning a dress with feathers on it because I don't really see too many gals wearing something like this aside from super fancy posh events via style.com.  Aside from Marion's great dress were the shoes!! Gawd damn they are perfect!  I love a good platform and I can't wait to be able to wear big shoes like these again!

Lastly, the Chanel Couture 2010 collection is lovely and everything that Chanel is, but the hair is da bomb!  The crazy volume is excessively perfect with the giant bow right in the middle, bam!  I don't know if I'll ever be able to duplicate this do because I am not gifted when it comes to styling my hair, but maybe I can do something similar with half of my hair up and the rest down.

Lovely at the Golden Globes

I enjoy watching awards shows for the red carpet alone. There are two events in particular that I love, the Academy and the Golden Globe Awards. I think the fact that the women dress in the finest designer gowns is why I look forward to watching them year after year. Last night's Golden Globes were the highlight of my evening indeed. These are my absolutely favorite looks of the night.

Drew Barrymore in Atelier Versace. I think it's safe to say the trend of the Golden Globes was the one shoulder dress: Kate Winslet, Jennifer Aniston, Anna Kendrick, Joan Allen and Amy Poehler opted for this. I especially loved Drew's one shoulder dress because it was the focal point of her look and it glittered!
Julianna Margulies in Narciso Rodriguez. This lady looked
so hot in this dress! It was fitting and the red was absolutely the perfect detail to the black dress because it had sparkle. Because her dress had that detail she wore black tiny earrings, which I thought was brilliant.
Chloë Sevigny in Valentino. This dress looked beautiful on TV. I loved the detail of the ruffles and I was particularly drawn to this because I've been eyeing soft, girly, pastel pieces. I think ever since I saw the powder peach dress from H&M I've been thinking about looks like these, I'm so sad I did not buy it because it was perfectly beautiful and it was only $40.

The best dressed in my opinion was Christina Aguilera, wow she looked so lovely! I loved her whole look because it was classy and youthful. I've never been a fan of her fashion choices because they've been super tacky, but this totally redeemed all her monstrous choices from the past. Her haircut was so cute too! She is a beautiful woman indeed and her dress was a piece of art, the color and the amazing detail on the bodice was totally wonderful. This dress fitted so well on her it was like it was made just for her and that's really how a dress or an article of clothing should look on a person.

Wish Wish

Damn, I need a sugar daddy...

I really want acid wash jeans. Been wanting them for a long time now. Too bad I can't fit into pants from Forever 21 because I would be all over these. The shoes are totally hot as well. Shit, the whole look is perfect actually.

OMFG! This dress is effing awesome! I would wear it with my thigh high black suede boots from Chinese Laundry.  This top also makes me quite happy, I NEED it! Gosh I can't wait for finer weather, it's been chilly and it has also started to rain, not crackin'!

Led Zeppelin

A little rock n roll, everyday.

Cuties

There's something about cuteness that drives me nuts. I think I have the same exact tastes as I did when I was in the sixth grade. I remember when Sanrio opened a store in my city and spending every Sunday allowance on something from there. So when I got an iphone a few days ago I knew I had to pimp it with a Hello Kitty case. I happened to snatch the last Tokidoki for Hello Kitty case at the mall, love this collection...


And then there's my planner, cuteness all around!




I've had this jewelry case for six years or so, it's Monkichi! This is the ideal case to take on a trip, it's small and you can pack a lot of jewelry.



And since I'm obsessing about cuteness, I love my new Betsey Johnson earrings.


And the perfect hair accessory is a hair pin just like these. Small, simple and CUTE.
