love this fantasy.whimsical.childhood dream.alice in wonderland creepy photography

tim walker

..morning glory..

need a movie to boost you? this one did it for me..

yes, its a chick flick.. but Rachel McAdams is amazing... and it reminded my of my crazy, ADD induced, over achieving, never ending, goal driven, dream driven.... work habits.. makes me wanna keep on trucking up that hill towards that goal...

ahhhhhh... bring it on world... (ok, well not too hard and all at once... thxs)

oh.. and her work suits look awesome on her.. never seen a girl look so good in office wear.. dang..

Something im:

something im: proud of...

OKD had their world premiere this past Monday 18th, 2010.. it was awesome!

something im: gonna wait in the rush line to see....

Shakespeare's last play: The Tempest was filmed here in Hawaii.. Studying Shakespeare at the moment.. so im pretty stoked that its showing at HIFF..

something im: gonna want to take dance lessons after seeing it...

Burlesque looks like a mash up of coyote ugly meets modern day moulin rouge. But love how its about pursuing a dream.. whatever it maybe...

something im: interested in seeing..

hopefully stewart does a good job... twilight can only last so long...

one day my time will come...

reem acra

this years fashion week was probably the most inspiring..

I have always been drawn to Reem Acra. She continues to produce hands down beautiful dresses. For me her spring 2011 collection went a bit harder then what i am use to seeing. But i loved it.. this line sparked words like: medieval, Byzantine, armor, greek toga, royalty...

(my favorite of the bunch..)

cant wait to see who'll wear it on the red carpet first.

cutest music video ever! being the insane dog lover that I am.. this one easily kept a big grin on my face throughout the entire song..

love how these babies keep their tail waggin and they show off their stuff...

smart advertising for IKEA since all of the furniture used was from there.. Never a dull moment with OK GO... love them..

R.I.P. MARC by MARC JACOBS AX STORE

one of my favorite places to get some decent omiyage for the girls back home has now gone bye bye... sad day for people holding on to their wallets...

reflecting on a few items i picked up on one of my many visits to nyc..

lahv my brandon tee...

most people tend to focus on the dog... or possibly whats behind it?

picked one up for my co worker and I... it became our little inside joke:

Serva Me Servabote... Save me and i'll save you ... from our boss

who doesn't love a good condom?..

check out deets on the story by: refinery 29

"your always striving for success and waiting for things to "settle down".. if things ever settled down, then your just standing still...." -the bf...

some what always finding myself in this predicament: jus wanting to give in to the norm..

id like my luck to change...

B.o.B - New Music - More Music Videos

lame as it might be.. but i like it.. keeps me going...

..day dreaming...

honestly no time in the world to blog... but my hectic schedule can't stop my day dreaming...

I miss this place, i dream about this place, ive come to love this place.... i must live in this place..... sigh...

..hey, soul sister..

Im really diggin this song... however im not loving the music video as much... its such happy vibe that I imagine myself prancing/crazy hippie dancing in a field of flowers... it must be the tunes from the uke thats got me groovin..

But I must say...ive been a train fan for a while.. so they are forgiven for this music video.. =)

this is my happy music... peeeaaccee

..cutlass..

was bored looking for a new monologue to work on and came across this short film written & directed by Kate Hudson.

"Cutlass" a 16 min. short film was featured at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. its a cute story on parenting with an all star cast: chevy chase, kurt russell, dakota fanning, and miss kristen stewart....

i hope to be cool parent one day.. i have dreams and so will they...

...painting the roses red...

as i indulge in all that im missing from ny fashion week i couldn't help but noticed that a few designers had a paper mache overload... (most tastefully done)

i couldn't help but feeling a sense of alice in wonderland inspirations... specifically when those playing cards sing "painting the roses red" flashes of the queen of hearts blowing her top off came into mind...

i must say alice in wonderland is my favorite past time disney movie... even though it was derived from an acid induced hallucination.. there is sooo much creativity... maybe i should take some drugs to help fuel my creativity... tempting.. tempting..

Diane Von Furstenburg

Carolina Herrera

Monique Lhuillier

Badgley Mischka

ahhh i can't wait for tim burtons spin on it... exciting..

Hail to the Queen!

i was completely floored and sadden to hear one of my favorite and most inspirational designers had taken his own life. it makes me sad that this world has lost someone with so much creativity and talent... i wish there were more people in this world that had the courage like mcqueen did to defy the ordinary and expressed his vision while staying true to himself...

here is a quote by mcqueen (via nytimes) that i posted back in march of last year:

" I think its dangerous to play it safe because you will just get lost in the the midst of cashmere twin sets. people don't want to see clothes. they want to see something that fuels the imagination..."-mcqueen

long live the queen!

..you be king & i'll be queen..

can't seem to get enough of this song....

makes me want to jump on a bike and become some sort of night rider... hehee.. but sadly with my judgments id probably get hit by a bus... but there is always my imagination...

lahv...

...for now hello Cali...

though NYC is booked...i still have to work... bleh...

so im off to california... for my normal twice a year trip to ASR... honestly only excited about the food, friends & a possible lakers game... woot woot...

however, if i happen to run across these BB Dakota items, i'll feel obligated to pick them um...

...Life's Handbook...

doing some soul searching...

maybe this advice could help.... its pretty gay.. but what do i got to lose?

LIFE'S HANDBOOK 2010

Health:

1. Drink plenty of water.

2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.

3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants & has to be killed, bled, cured, aged, smoked, fried, or frozen

4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy.

5. Make time to pray...

6. Play more games. Feed the birds. Plant flowers or vegetables- even in a pot.

7. Read more books than you did in 2009.

8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.

9. Sleep for 7 hours.

10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile & notice your surroundings, changes in nature every day, & listen to the birds.

Personality:

11. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Each person has their place in the scheme of life.

12. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment - do what you can to make the world around you better.

13. Don't over do. Keep your limits. Physically, spiritually, financially or emotionally. Be humble.

14. Don't take yourself too seriously. No one else does.

15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.

16. Dream more while you are awake..

17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

18. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. Don't blame your parents for every problem you have. That will ruin your present. We choose actions & reactions when we become adults.

Happiness.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others. It's easier to understand and move on.

20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present. Yesterday is gone and you have a limited number of tomorrows.

21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. It's your choice to feel happy or miserable, anger or joy, frustration or acceptance, jealousy or peace, shame or pride.

22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

23. Smile and laugh more.

24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Society:

25. Call your family often.

26. Each day give something good to others.

27. Forgive everyone for everything.

28. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6

29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

30. What other people think of you is none of your business.

31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:

32. Do the right thing!

33.... Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful..

34. God heals everything.

35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

37. The best is yet to come.

38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank God for it.

39. Your inner most is always happy. So, be happy.
