"I don't eat things with a FACE!"

September 1st I become a vegan, not indefinitely (I go through phases). For example my new years resolution was to be a vegetarian for at least 6 months, I made it exactly to 6 months and ate a burger the next day.

I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS SO YOU SHOULD BE TOO, I have a menswear update for the first time ever! It's all about A.P.C. I'm sure all of the fashion savvy guys own a few pairs of jeans and t-shirts by this brand, but there comes a time when neither of these are suitable. A.P.C.'s new line of suits, which come in the traditional suit colors (black, navy, and grey), are being sold with unfinished hems so they can be tailored to size. Even though these suit separates are rather pricey for your average Joe, it's always worth investing in a timeless and well made wardrobe staple.
  

Truth Fears No Question

Marc Jacobs :)
Hello little monsters, to those of you who are googoo for Gaga, I am sad to say my parents failed to order my laptop. Just lovely. So I will probably continue to write whenever I really get the chance -__-  Although they did get me a Marc Jacobs laptop case. If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm obsessed with Marc Jacobs. Like literally obsessed, he's my favorite designer and I even find him attractive; in my eyes he can do no wrong.

About my birthday being a...disaster, well sort of. Let's start with my outfit: I was unable to find a reasonably priced, semi-dressy shirt to match my skirt, so I bought a dress and open toed clogs. Dinner reservations were made for 7:00 and I told everyone to PLEASE be prompt because we wouldn't be able to be seated without the entire party, we were seated at around 7:30. My friends wanted to do something after so they suggested that we go to the beach at 10 o'clock at night. A few of my guy friends joined us, it was pretty boring so I just had my mom drop everyone off at home. OH and I forgot to mention it was supposed to be a sleepover, but no one informed me that they wouldn't be sleeping over. I guess it was at a pretty inconvenient time, being that it was Tuesday night and all, but still a little notice would have been nice. Two of my friends stayed over which made me feel a little better, not that I needed to be comforted or anything...it was just company. So yeah, that was pretty much my "sweet" sixteen hahaha.

This morning when I woke I was itching to look up tattoo ideas. I started with a feather, then the Egyptian ankh symbol, and ended with phrases. Here are a few phrases that I thought were meaningful or relevant to my life at the moment:
~A sound mind in a sound body
~What nourishes me also destroys me (Angelina Jolie has this tattoed on her stomach in Latin)
~Life comes with no gurantees
~Truth fears no questions (my personal faveeeeee!!!)
~La vie boheme (one of my favorite songs from the musical, Rent which means the bohemian life)

Sweet Sixteen, Rebel Queen

Hey today is MY BIRTHDAY and as I'm sure you can guess from the title it's my sixteenth!!!! Tonight I will be taking my closest friends out to dinner at Carnivale and then sleepover at my house. I have Marc Jacobs goodie bags :) and Sugar Bliss cupcakes so I'm hoping tonight is one to remember. Unfortunately my "birthday outfit" isn't complete. But thus far I have Marc Jacobs earrings and a Rachel Roy skirt (I'll post pics); no shoes + no shirt = no service. Oh and the cherry on top of my day is registration at school, fffuuuunnnn...not. At least I will finally know my actual schedule. And MOST IMPORTANTLY my laptop should be coming in the mail soon so I will be blogging and keeping you updated all the time, or as much as possible.

Frankie Says Relax

Poll: Is it okay to show your bra in public, when wearing a lace top or a shirt period? Yes or No

Model Erin Wasson, commonly known for her True Religion ads, has a new jewelry line called Luv Low. When asked who would she like to see in her jewelry she instantly answered Louise Bourgeois (artist and sculptor). On the style.com blog it said that at the launch of Maybelline's New York 2010 calendar 'Wasson worked the room in a sprayed-on red dress, concealing, perhaps, a few gems underneath: One of the key pieces in her new line is a body chain. What’s the point of jewelry hidden from the public eye? “I consider it an armor, to protect oneself from all crazy stuff out there,” Wasson said. “And also, like lingerie, it’s your own naughty little secret, that only you and maybe a special friend need to know of. It’s outrageously sexy.”' This January, Luv Low will be availabe at http://www.my-wardrobe.com/.

Has anyone been to the Adidas store lately? Well I went there not too long ago and discovered this adorable swimsuit by Stella McCartney. It was obviously the cutest thing in the whole store and I was surprised that McCartney had a collaboration with an athletic store. Way to stay on your toes and keep us guessing! Her collection can be viewed on the Adidas website; http://www.adidas.com/.
