A Question

2011-06-07T20:49:00.000-04:00

Has something ever happened to you that you really wanted to happen and when it did happen the actual moment was nowhere near what you expected it to be? I'm like a mixture of elated, shocked, and bummed all at the same time. I had always imagined when I would hear the news I heard that I would read the news the day it was supposed to come, be super excited, and those I told would be excited

One Month Later....

2011-06-02T16:29:00.000-04:00

I'm back in Amurikah! Huzzah! Gotta admit though - I miss my prosciutto. Overall, I'm beyond thrilled to be back in the United States. There is nothing like coming home to your doggie, having your own TV (we just got netflix and it has been nothing but anime marathons every freakin day), and not having to convert the currency. At the end of this month my cousin, who I met in London in April,

Undiscovered Disney

2011-05-01T15:58:00.000-04:00

I'm sitting here actually working (WHOA!) and I realized that my i-tunes is filled with lots of songs from Disney and many of them my roommate and friends don't know. I realize that they are from less popular movies and thus not as popular, but they are still some of my favorite Disney songs ever so I thought I should share. Plus, I recently traveled to Disney Land Paris - so I will put up a few

Fashion Storm: Monsoon

2011-04-29T13:07:00.000-04:00

I became OBSESSED with this brand called Monsoon when I went to London. Me and my bestie were like "oooh dresses!!", but we had to keep walking because we were on a tight budget. However, I remembered the store name and found it on the internet. They also deliver to the US!! ...uh oh. Well - I know what my first paycheck is going to when I finally work again back in The States :D Top 5

Time: I'm running out of it here in Rome, but I'm kinda happy about it. I miss my house, the fam, and my friends... and like, America. The European lifestyle is nice, but give me a place where I can buy a $1 sweet tea with a credit card and not get judged over la dolce vita (which is quite slow and expensive) any day! I must say, I have had such a wonderful time in Rome. It has been a learning

2011-04-23T09:06:00.001-04:00

Hi! Just got back from a riveting Spring Break. One of the places I went to was England which was AMAZING. The food, the people, the fact that EVERYONE SPOKE ENGLISH - it was SO beautiful. :P Me and my bestie went to all of the must-see touristy spots, the not-so-touristy spots, and of course the Harry Potter filming location spots. I mean obvi-duh we went there! Here are some of the best ones

I'm avoiding writing a paper and many other things that I should really be doing. Instead I am blogging. Haha! I hope yall enjoy the pics. More photos of Italia. Pisa, Sorrento, and Capri. Ciao Bellas!

2011-04-03T15:53:00.001-04:00

Hi yall! I have been having an interesting time here in Rome, but I must say I miss the good ol' U.S. of A. The shopping here is interesting, but the exchange rate sucks so I'll be glad to get back to where the dollar is worth a dollar...not like .70 cents. I am coveting this dress from nastygal.com I love the lace! If only I had the figure...guess I need to stop wolfin down the gelato. Eh, I'll

2011-03-03T09:02:00.000-05:00

I know. I haven't blogged since I got in freakin Italy. It has been a whirlwind of an experience. I'm already past my one month mark - gah! Here are some photos of what I have been doing. Eating, drinking, touring, cooking, frolicking, annnnd more! More to come soon. With actual words and stuff.

2011-01-31T13:13:00.001-05:00

I'm finally in Italy. Holy eff - it's all sorts of gorgeous. I had my first day of class today and I'm still getting settled so I'll update in more detail in a few days, but for now - just photos of the area I'm in for the entire semester. :D

I'm resisting the urge to buy anything because I leave for Italy in 2 days. However, go figure, Forever 21 has updated their stock with some REALLY cute things. Or maybe they seem cuter than normal because I can't buy them.

Great News: I FINALLY got my visa so I am good to go for leaving for Italia! Yay! Today has been interesting. One of my dearest friends is having a crisis and I was totally ready and willing to be her ride or die bestie and jump in the car with her and drive 8 hours to go and fix her crisis. But then fate - otherwise known as mom - intervened and I can't go. Now I'm worried. I hope she'll be

I'm having a nerdy problem people. I need new anime to watch!!! I have been going stir crazy in my house watching episode after episode of television. I watched all of The Game in 2 and 1/2 days, tons of The Cosby Show, tons of Golden Girls, almost all of Being Eve, and sat through a marathon of Adventure Time with my little sisters...twice. I'm making up for all of the TV I didn't get to watch

Skirting the Issue

2011-01-19T17:20:00.000-05:00

I have a week until I go to Rome!!! ...Hopefully. I still don't have my student visa yet - Yikes! I'm hoping the Italian Government and American Postal System won't fail me. Last week the mini-apocalypse slowed down the mail which caused my Visa to be sent in 4 days later than planned, but hopefully it will be sent to me within the week. (WISH ME LUCK). In the mean time, I'm trying not to buy

Going Postal

2011-01-13T18:39:00.000-05:00

I'm back. Back at home. and Back at blogging - sorry yall. The past month after the Yule Ball - WHICH WAS AWESOME - was rough. And here at home the weather is a beautiful, snowy HOT MESS. We have no equipment to make the roads navigable so that means my little sisters have to go to school a week late. Nobody can go to work or even get on the freakin freeway without having a wreck. It messes up

Italian Fashion Question 4 - Vieni A Ballare In Puglia

2010-11-28T12:11:00.002-05:00

To all of you who answered my past Italian Fashion Questions or just left a comment - Thank You!! :) I am very excited to go to Rome to study Italian art and culture and learn more about Italian language and the Italian people and their traditions. However...at the same time - I want to partaaaay. No, not go out and get blackout drunk everyday like a crazy college kid. I want to go out and

Just when I thought that I was about to go crazy with all of the school assignments, study abroad preparations, car issues, summer internship worries, and more - a facebook message came to me. What did it say?? My school is going to have a Yule Ball on December 4th. That's right - straight out of Chapter 23 of Harry-Freakin-Potter and the Goblet of Fire. A Yule Ball in The Great Hall.

Gaaah! Classes + car accident + internship applying + lack of time to eat + registering for abroad classes + work (two jobs) = Super Tired & Emo Me. But fortunately Minnie Muse at Forever 21 came today. Check it out!! I might get some retail therapy from the collection later... Let me know which pieces are your favorite! I'll show yall if I bought anything soon. :) Have a wonderful day!!!

2010-11-10T23:56:00.000-05:00

Forever 21 is doing a collaboration with Disney! I'm super excited. It's called Minnie Muse. Here are some pics from the website. I'm hoping for lots of polkadots and cuteness. I really hope they are selling that jacket with the Kanji for Tokyo in it and that super cute sweater with the 3 Minnie heads. The collection will be out "for the holidays". So I'm guessing soon-ish? What do you think?

Italian Fashion Question 3 - Whether the Weather Is Cold

2010-11-08T00:30:00.002-05:00

Once again, to all of you who answered my past Italian Fashion Questions or just left a comment - Thank You!! :) I hate being cold. My allergies mess up, my eczema flares up, it makes my skin flakey, and I have to always put on and take off clothes as I walk in and out of buildings. But I guess I gotta suck it up if I'm going to Italy. I read that the average temp in Feb and March is below 65

Fashion + anime = Fanime - うみねこのなく頃に(Umineko No Naku Koro Ni)

2010-11-07T19:29:00.001-05:00

My roommate warned me not to watch this anime. Her reasoning? "It's good, but a total mind-#@!$" I should have listened. I must say - I REALLY enjoyed it. But I was like "whaaaaaaaaaaaa???" I sat and watched all 26 episodes in a span of 2 days. I became OBSESSED. I had to finish it. I mean, come ON the theme is in Japanese AND Italian - both of the languages I'm learning. I HAD to watch it.

Italian Fashion Question 2 - High Heels and Rome Streets

2010-11-04T19:58:00.001-04:00

To all of you who looked at my blog and commented on my first question - Thank you!!! I should be studying for the Italian test I have tomorrow, but instead I'm blogging. I mean, technically if I'm researching and blogging about Italy that's studying Italian, right?? Question 2: Is it true that in Italy (In particular Rome) it is hard to walk around in high heels? Yes, another shoe question,

Italian Fashion Question 1 - Boots

2010-11-01T18:59:00.002-04:00

I have been blessed with the AMAZING opportunity to go abroad to Italy in the spring semester. It is only 3 months away so I am planning ahead and trying to figure out what to buy. I do not have a lot of winter clothes or clothes that would not make me look "American" so I am trying to build my wardrobe. Hopefully you can help me! I will be asking questions on my blog and if you know the answer

Interests in Anthropologie

2010-10-23T00:37:00.000-04:00

I love this store. The clothes are a great mix of on trend and classic. There are a variety of well tailored sizes in very nice fabrics. However, the price tag for many of the items is HIGH. We're talking the average dress being $150. Ugh! I could not help but wonder why. So I decided to do a bit of research on it... Fun Fact #1: Anthropologie is owned by Urban Outfitters, Inc which owns Urban

Where HAVE you been?

However I am getting in some fashion-oriented writing by my internship at CollegeFashion.net.

I am considering a career in finance (along with law, pr, and being a ninja) so when I find news about it AND the fashion world I get all excited (except when I hear about Models and Bottles - ugh and double ugh). This picture, however, made me giggle profusely. What we see here is the CEO and Chairman of Goldman Sachs, Mr. Lloyd Blankfein, wearing a pair of acid wash denim jeggings. I found

Guilt and Gilt

2010-08-05T15:04:00.002-04:00

Today before my Financial Accounting class I checked twitter and saw the following... And I thought - "Oh Yeah! I forgot that Jeffrey Campbell had a Gilt Sale today." I am signed up to Gilt, and Ideeli, and Rue La La. I often look to see what they have on sale, but I never actually BUY anything because 1. I never have enough money2. When I do have enough money I still cannot justify spending

A Fancy for Flare

2010-07-29T22:53:00.004-04:00

Oh the IRONY that when I finally get my legs a suitable size for skinny jeans the flare jean starts to worm its way into relevancy again. Though skinnies are not even close to being 'out', flare jeans are the new-new style that fashionistas can rock with their noses in the air and with a "I'm-being-a-trend-setter" smile. Guess that means I'll have to buy TWO types of jeans for fall. Oh darn.

It really makes you think...

As much as I want to believe the powerful statement in the picture...it's hard.These past 20 years on planet Earth have been super fabbity fab fab. But sometimes I do wish I had a time turner (HP reference) to fix things - namely my GPA :P (trust me I did NOT want it to ever be where it is now haha)But I currently want to see what it would be like being a lawyer and I also want to see what it

No Point for Me to Drop Acid - I Have Disney Movies!!!

2010-06-23T00:04:00.002-04:00

Case in Point: Remember me saying I was scared of Disney movies as a wee one? Yeah... this scene was the reason why I only saw Dumbo once until I hit a double digit age. And I didn't fully appreciate it until I was 18. Forgive my past ignorance. I'm a late bloomer in many, many ways. What's your favorite Disney trip-tastic moment? Are Disney Movies your Anti-Drug?

Happy Summer Solstice! It certainly has been a very happy few days lately. Top 3 Things That Happened to Me This Weekend: 1. My family came to visit and I got to take them on a tour of my Not-So-Secret-Garden and my Hogwarts-like campus. They loved it! 2. I got paid!!!! And splurged at Sephora. I'm like a kid in a candy store in Sephora. Dropped about 1/3 of my paycheck on makeup (some of

Naturalment - Work it like an Aristocat!

2010-06-17T11:08:00.002-04:00

The Aristocats is one of my favorite Disney movies. When I was little the word "Disney" was synonymous to "Music!" and "SCARY!!!". My mother bought me the sing-a-long videos so I knew every Disney song when I was 5 years old. (Lame Alert! Get ready...) However, I didn't see most of the movies until I was over 10 years old because I was terrified of 3/4ths of the films. They had such creepy

Midnight Movie - The Secret Garden

2010-06-13T03:07:00.005-04:00

Tonight I watched the 1993 version of The Secret Garden. It is a movie that I loved when I was a little girl and I still love it now. I can only hope to one day have a home with a secret garden of my own. For now I have the Duke Gardens. It is a place which matches the beauty of the garden in the movie. Except...it's not a secret. :) Sadly it was incredibly hot today, a nice 95 degrees. I

The comedic timing is incredible, the writing is great, the actresses are brilliant, even the extras are wonderful at acting. I've fangirled about the show and compared it to others on this lil blog before. Unfortunately, three of the four girls have passed away over the past three years, the

SO much personality. love love love her)What are we going to call this next decade when we reflect on it when we're in a future decade?I mean when we get to 2020 - 2030 we're going to call it the 20's. So do we say for now? The '10's?I looked up 1910 - 1920 on Google to see if there was a name and all I got was stuff on

I am finally changing my "I'd rather be wearing..." on this lil blog.For the longest time it has been Alexander Wang's Dorothy Shopper bag. A beautiful, grey, suede tribute to one of the greatest TV shows and characters ever. I ADORE the Golden Girls (just finished watching about 2 hours of it) with a passion.This bag kind of makes me sad, not just because I don't own it, but because it reminds

New Anime First Impressions: Full Metal Panic

2009-12-22T22:56:00.006-05:00

One word: LOL!!! Okay...that's three words. This show was recommended to me by my friend Bri who is THE person to go to for advice on GOOD anime and manga to watch. I am on episode 6 out of 24 and I must say I am enjoying it.I'm going to be honest and say that I don't know 100% what is going on. This anime is great because it is a comedy with romance, action and a mysterious plot. And I know

(twenty points if you remember which 90s cartoon the title is from)My new coveted make up look is of one I saw in a makeup tutorial on youtube with MAC Fly By Night blue.Now this blue is beautiful but since the girl was a fair skinned the color will show up a bit differently on her than it will on me. Soooo today I actually went to find it at the Mall O Georgia but got sidetracked by Sephora. And

Bag Lady

2009-12-20T22:29:00.008-05:00

I've always been wishy-washy on how I see myself. Sometimes I look in the mirror and go "I'm okay that I'm not a size 2". Other days I look in the mirror and go "WHO LET A BEACHED BROWN WHALE INTO DUKE UNIVERSITY???" And because of this I love clothes - I also hate them.Yet shoes and handbags have ALWAYS been my favorite. You can be a size 16 and go get some hot new heels. You can be fat and buy

Where did the time go?! It’s late Thursday evening and you are practically pulling your hair out trying to decide if you should work on your paper that’s due tomorrow or study for your test which is also, unfortunately, tomorrow. You did study a little bit yesterday for your test but you didn’t do as much as you should have. And you thought about ideas for your paper but you never got around to

Last night as I watched Detective Conan (at home - yay home!) I got a huuuge craving for chocolate and lemonade gelato. One scoop stacked right on top of the other. mmmm.But I know there is nowhere near my house to get gelato. In Durham there was a little shop but it is not as good as the kind I had in Italy.*Cue cheesy Italian accent and hand gestures* - Ahhh Italy!!!Ciao Bella by breadisgood4u

I have had Lady Gaga's Beautiful, Dirty, Rich in my head all morning and I just heard someone whistling it while they walked by my door. Oh Lady G - you have infiltrated the minds of many with great success.Later today I am supposed to be going shopping with my buddy Maria at Southpoint mall (a verrrry nice mall in Durham). Well...she'll be shopping and I'll be trying not to spend money. She

Story of my life...

This is how I felt when I applied for a multiple thousand dollar student loan for one year of college. Minus the tears and the horrible realization that I have to do it for two more years. Crap. Found here...at the wonderful xkcd- The girl with love on her forehead

Did you see the meteor shower?Lame Sauce! I missed the meteor shower. Yet I am not too upset because I received skyward phenomena by my house a few days earlier. It stormed a bit by my house but apparently was horrible when it left. The lightening flashes seemed never ending yet thankfully far. It was frightening and yet beautiful.Yet my first thought when I saw it was "Dang. Who's having a

So I look at the TV menu and through blurry eyes I seeSamurai Jackand I scream "YESSSSSSSSSS!" This was my favorite show as a little ten year old girl. (Next to Sailor Moon, of course) It's the show that started my Samurai OBSESSION. After Samurai Jack I watched Samurai X, Samurai Champloo, read Afro Samurai, wanted to go to Disney World and go to International Showcase at Epcot to BUY a Samurai

A note to the creater of the manga Naruto...

2009-03-03T12:23:00.004-05:00

What on earth Mr. Kishimoto?!?!You killed off Hinata right after she told Naruto she loved him. Do you know how long us Naruto-Hinata cheerleaders have been waiting for that moment (I am actually stuck in the middle part of me wants Sasuke and Sakura to be together and at the same time it would be cute if she ended up liking Naruto...but I digress). I made the mistake of reading the last chapter

ooookkaaaaay....So I start my day off by waking up at 8:17 and actually feeling like I got a good night sleep - which is weird because I went to bed at 2:00 (watching Fantasia, movie #3 of the Disney Brea, Thea, and John Bria Disney extravaganza movie week). Yet my alarm clock fell off of my bed in the middle of the night and so I did not wake up at the intended time of 7:45. Which was okay.But I
