Hi all! :)

Please VOTE for my design on Velvet Brigade. I designed a chic, fashion-forward blazer with an abstract design and I think it should be mass produced :)

That is all for now...

2011♥♥

I'm ready.
Let-Go.

2011

A new year

A new "beginning"

The year of the hustle

The year of the climb

The year of the "LION"

2011 will be what I make of it

2011 will be the year of the climb...

Meaning:

2011 is my year of hustling to the tippity TOP

I WILL be successful

I WILL be IN demand

Because I AM a HOT COMMODITY

Whatever "frivolous materialistic"

You want to put the label to

It really doesn't matter 

 Because against your will, 

your Heart will desire!

2011 

The year of the Lion

The year of the Shark

The year of THE hustle 

&

The year of THE climb

...of our lives.

Fashion industry - stand up.

USC - stand up.

Be ready for the natural occurrence

of genius & higher thinking

Or don't be...

Whatever. I don't give a damn.

Because whether ♥ it or not,

The Quiet Storm is near.

2011

A new year

A new beginning

The year of the hustle.

[oct 27 entry] Walk down Memory Lane: Matrix Yoga Back-bend

On stink bus again...

and listening to a fav jam "letting go" by Sean Kingston ft niki Minaj and I can't help but smile at my memories of Paris...

Stephanie, one of my roomates in Paris would get tipsy and start feeling herself..which meant she was ready for the "matrix yoga back bend." She would go so far that I would always be tempted to catch her...aww fun memories

[oct 19th entry] To do, or Not To Do: Public Outburst

 I discovered from my experiences that day that this outfit - well mainly the shorts and tights (topped off with the high boots) were probably not the best outfit for my Dash commute. Because after I get off at my stop for the internship I have to walk 5-7 blocks on some streets filled with perverted men...
ew.
But I've gotten smarter--I now walk on the main street Pico to get to my internship instead of the little back streets...

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

written october 19th in my Notes... So a jump back into time... >> >>

So I'm on a stink bus..the E Dash to be exact (long story-DMV playing games...etc)

**--[[LONG STORY-SHORT=> My car's registration was suspended due to lack of insurance so I started taking the Dash - a public transportation bus in Downtown LA. I take the Dash to and from my fashion internship. Sometimes I get a ride from the Designer I intern for -- but then there are the many (when I say many, I mean 2 hehe) times that I've rejected the offer in order to actually have the opportunity to take the Dash bus. Sometimes it's just relaxing to be able to ride the bus and just get lost in the iPhone's iPod media world and my wild imagination and thoughts/memories.  So anyway, I've been taking the Dash to and from my internship for the past 2-3 weeks.]]]--**

Back to the original matter at hand: I recently found this cool ass Pandora station 'toot it and boot it' station lol who would have known it would have sooo many hits!?! But anyway my original ? Was..has n e ever been on some type of means of public transportation or jus in public period-& u just had the certain urge to belt out the lyrics & back that ass up to one of ya fav jams?? Just had that moment...


Black old shirt;  Black shorts (most likely from XXI-super old..who knows..); Drapey vest from a Downtown LA wholesalesman; American Eagle belt; Sexy brown/black leopard scarf from Papyrus; Black sensual zebra print tights; Grey pretty ruffled jacket from Express; Boots from Steve Madden; XXI earrings, Gucci lenses.

GO USC TROJANS!!

It's official!! Dw got accepted to USC -- so he's now a Trojan man & I'll be his Trojan girl ♥
Also...

I miss Paris.
