Lady Gaga at the 2009 American Music Awards


Lady Gaga made an amazing performance, starting off with her hit "Bad Romance" and then surging into "Speechless." Through the performance, she did her share of dancing, broke a glass box which held a piano inside, and continued singing while consistently smashing glass bottles against the piano. And to top it all off, she wore a nude-colored body suit complete with white piping that seemed to imitate her ribs set with internal lights. She didn't fail to surprise us, yet again.

How about blogging about what I wear??


This is what I wore out to a nice dinner. I like trying new things and the pencil skirt is one of them. I am not the thinnest girl by any means, so trying a skirt that is quite fitted on my booty was a daring move for me. I paired it with a blouse that has the trendy checkered pattern on it with ruffles starting from the neck and going to the waist. I paired it with a black shrug, black peep-toed shoes, and a rugged belt with a nice interlocking pattern. Maybe this skirt does not look the best on me, but what about the idea of the pieces together?

What Not to Wear (Stacy & Clinton)


I am a very avid What Not to Wear watcher and decided I should spread the word on why I adore it sooo much.

Firstly, the show is obviously a style-makeover show for people in desperate need of a wardrobe change. But secondly, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly stress that people should dress the way reflects their inner self as well as dressing for the part you play in life, especially at work. In every single episode I've seen, the victim realizes that they look better, feel better about themselves, and even stand up straighter. How about that?!

Odd Dream

So my dream last night was a little odd. In the dream, I was coming out of church with my family and went to look for my car, a 1994 white gulf. I thought I had seen it, but then thought it was a different car because it looked smaller than normal. After searching the entire parking lot, I realized that the car I'd seen was mine. I got closer and saw that the front half of it was cut off. (wtf?) So some friends and I went to go look for it and started with the yards of the houses across the street from the church. We found it roaming around (like a wild animal that you're trying to catch) in a backyard and tried to corner it. At this point I woke up. 

The previous dream during the same night.. 
I vaguely remember driving through a parking lot by a bunch of closed stores. I came upon a fast food restaurant alot like McDonald's. Though the restaurant building was there, all the employees were preparing the food behind long counters right out front so everyone could see. I went up to the counter to order a sandwich, but there were about 20 people already crowded around it. Nothing else I can remember.
