FF2- Flowy Shirts & Little Skirts

I have been looking forward to Spring and Summer fashions! For a few different reasons. One of the biggest reasons is, I am losing weight and on my way to being back to a very skinny minnie and I cant wait to buy myself all kinds of really cute pieces!

Spring is all about bright colors, pastels, flowy outfits, and more florals than you can bare!! But this year, I think that everyone is more into the "float in your clothes" flowy look, rather than the skin tight outfits that have once taken over warmer seasons!<== Another reason why I want to get really small: you can't look like your floating in your clothes if you look like you've been eating too many ice cream floats!! So I keep reminding myself, nothing tastes as good as it feels to be skinny!! So this is the look I am going to fawn over in this blog; Flowy Shirts & Little Skirts!!!
Here are some photos of this look pulled off fiercely:

So All of those were breathtaking right?? Yea I know...
So here's my opinion on how to do this well;
1- You cant look like a stuffed sausage, Key Word FLOWY!
2- You can still be sexy in loose, flowy clothing- Go Sheer! Sheer tops are really in and perfect for Spring weather!
3- Lace skirts add a more feminine, dressier touch
4- Don't be so "matchy matchy" It's all about color blocking and contrasting bright, fun colors!
5- You can pull this look off with a pair of fitted shorts as well, it's more casual
6- Most importantly- ACCESSORIZE! The main thing I loved about these photos were the oversized envelope clutches!! (They look like a huge envelopes hence the name) They add personality and a pop of color!

Here are some of my fav envelope clutches:

Ugh I know, I want to go shopping right now just typing this!! So much I want to buy, so little money to buy them hahaha!!! Yea so this look is pretty much my latest obsession! The float in your clothes, flowy look... Everything this season is going to be sheer, soft, flowy, floral, and bright! Eeek! I can't wait!!! But I refuse to buy any more clothes until I am at my goal size =)) Hopefully that won't be too much longer!!!

Until Next Time~ PEACE!!!

When I grow up I wanna be a_____

Go To College! Go To College! Go To College!
That's what was drilled in my head since I could even understand it, which should be rightfully so BUT I do not think I was prepared for the real world as far as finding a career. My parents aren't to blame because I don't think you can blame anyone but the economy for no jobs. On the verge of graduating with a degree in Sociology and a minor in English, I'm left with this question- WHAT NOW!?
I do believe in getting an education for the sake of just that, an education! So you're not walking around sounding and spelling like a flaming idiot! Sociology has taught me ways to accept, think, and look at the world, people, and cultures. Liberal Arts degrees have such a wide array of different courses you have to take in the curriculum. So I know a whole lot about a lot of different things here and there but collectively a whole lot of nothing hahahah =)
My dream was to get a doctorate in counselors education and become a Therapist. I don't have the means to just hop into grad school like I thought I was going to so that leaves me with what?? I need to join the workforce. But where? And in poor ass Louisiana... -_- Tell me about it!!! My dad expects me to call him any day now saying, "Daddy I have a job locked down! Chase has hired me as their head Human resources manager and director and they're holding the job for me until I graduate!" Yea back to the real world!
I'm indecisive when it comes to choosing what drink I want with my combo meal! How the hell do I make a final decision when it comes to a career???

Graduating college is a very scary feeling for me. I've been in school since Kindergarden hahaha and now it's all over (until grad school). I'm used to goals that are somewhat close and short term. Ex: You are in school and the goal is that degree! But when you get a job that you're not sure what you're career will be... what's the next goal? Retirement, raises?

Ugh I don't want to be a grown up =(((

And having a Pinterest in this crucial decisive point in my life IS NOT helping! Pinterest makes me want to be a; chef, dessert baker, florist, wedding planner, teacher, and stylist!

I firmly believe in doing what you love. I think there are two types of jobs people will stay at, a job that pays the big bucks, or one that you love. Everyone else is just getting by miserably! I refuse to be that person!!! There are only 24 hours in a day. You're asleep for 8 of them (if you're lucky) and working for another 8! Thats over half the day!!! Can you imagine going to work everyday that you utterly hate & it's not like they're paying you so damn well it's not worth complaining over!! I would be miserabel at a job that made me a millionaire! <= I know I'm a sellout!!

One of my great quotes=> "Money won't guarantee happiness, but I guarantee being broke brings sadness!"

So If I want a job that will make me Rich and miserable I need to go back to school. Since I can't do since I don't have thousands of dollars lying around, I need to find a job that I enjoy! Shit, if i'm going to just be getting by comfortably, I should at least LIKE my job right??

When  I grow up I want to be______________???

A rockstar?
A lotterywinner?

I HAVE NO CLUE!!!!!!!!!!

Someone help =/

Sat-HAIR-day

Happy Sat-HAIR-day Peeps!!
I know your probably looking at your clocks saying "uhhh it's past twelve it's Sunday!" Well if you are, then you must not know me well enough to know that I do not consider it a new day until I fall asleep and wake up- that's a new day! LoL =)

Sorry But I was just busy having the best laughs with my two awesome friends Kendra, and Erica (Oldies But Goodies) We went to Tsubaki, had like 10 rolls, 3 apps, and 8 drinks- Literally... Great Night

These Bad Boys were Bomb.com

Anyways lets get back to not so Sat-HAIR-day =)

Let me start off by saying this,

Ladies, it is 2012... please stop gelling hair to your heads and foreheads. Seriously! Take a look around, do you see any trendy people/hot bi*tches doing so in the last 5 years... Dont worry I'll wait -_-

AND if you are going to wear your hair curly, wear it curly! If your are going straight, go straight! Please stop the scrunched up, spritz, hard curls, with a dry bang! It's sooo HIT and country!! Just stop and thank me later for being honest! AND if your curling your hair, try to avoid gels. First off it looks hard and frozen, they're usually alcohol based and rough on your hair! Hairspray, mouse, pommade and a DIFFUSER will do wonders!! NO ONE is into the whole hard, frozen, look. It's all about soft, big, sexy, and flowy

SJP can do No Wrong!



The Definition of PERFECT curls!!!

The Only time your hair should be against your head is if your pulling it back in a very chic manner!

Didn't I tell you she can do No Wrong! LoL

Yea, everyone stopped and so should you... Like I said, 2012 get with the program. And if there really is an apocalypse going to occur this year, do you really want to die with your hair glued to your heads??? Remember big, flowy, clean, healthy hair is best. So Jack it To Jesus!!!

Today was my first full 8 hour shift at the salon, and let me just say... I need to go to beauty school bc this place was boomin! I got to work 30 mins late- typical, but showed up with donuts from Meches so no one cared!! If your going to be late to work, BRING FOOD!

Well while I was working they sell a thing called Color Bugs (see Below lol)

If you're like wtf is a color bug, dont worry I was too. It is a temporary hair color<= Lasts one wash. Remeber hair mascara girls?? Well it's the same concept but instead of a goopy mascara, it is hair chalk! So it's a light powder that washes right out!! I put in the purple and I have Black/Brown hair and look how bright it showed!!

I just did a small streak in my bang! And I did a little Pink, the pink was sooo BRIGHT!! Like HOT PINK!! But i didnt put hairspray in after to lock it in so it's not as bright as the beginning of the day...

This would be a great idea for all you LSU fans to put some purple streaks in your hair to show school spirit!

Im trying to grow my hair out. If you didnt know I have an assymetrical bob.

I have been very tempted though to get my hair cut like this

Isn't this one fierce cut?!

I found this on Pinterest<= where all genius ideas exist!! If you are anything like me, your makeup and hair sections in your bathroom are a total disaster on most days! How many times are you like where the hell are my bobby pins, hair ties, clips, hairband etc? Well here's an awesome solution

This is a can of oatmeal, covered in pretty paper for looks. Use it to store all your hair ish, and put your hairbands around the can! GENIUS!

As you know, I usually have an identity crisis from time to time- this is why I fly through so many different looks and styles. Well Lately I want to be a flaming hot red head!!! I think it would make my bob look hot hot hot!! And bring my eyes and makeup out!



The Cutest Asian Redhead EVER!- Until I dye mines LoL

I will have to lift my hair color first, then dye it the red. After my hair grows a little I want to go blonde!!! Blonde Asians are so hot to me =)

Yea I love this color blonde!! So after I go red, this blonde will for sure be my summer and possibly permanent style!! I know I am going to love working at this salon!!!

Okay, I am in love with high buns and messy ponytails... I love them so much that they alone make me regret cutting my hair!! Like I love love love it!!

I want her HAIR!

I Love a high messy bun! Not to mention that knitted headband is ADORABLE!

Okay, This blog was all over the place But I really wanted to show yall the Color Bug coolness and the red color I will be ASAP!!! But I worked from 8-4 this morning and it's damn near 2am<== Im Old! It's Late!

Holllleeerrrrrrr =)

Fashion Friday Part 1

Helllooo Everybody!

So today is my first Fashion Friday blog & I am quite excited! Today was my first day at the salon, it was pretty chill. I really want to be a redhead but I'll leave that for "SatHAIRday" <== Creative huh? I know I know LoL && I will be having "Makeup Mondays" too <= Speaking of, the salon I work at is MAC affiliated, and the owner & her daughter loved my blending and wingliner and I told her I would love to perfect my skills in makeup artistry and she said she could get me in some classes to become a certified MAC artist. Exciting!

Back to Fashion Fridays

Winter is coming to a close here in Louisiana, so this is our last chance to pull out those cute winter outfits before it heats up<== Im soo ready for that!

Things I love; Cute trousers, lace, scarves, loud tights, boots, wedges, clutch

And you can never go wrong with a dash of animal print or sequins, only if you over do it<=Less is more sometimes, Remember =)

Here's some of my Fav Looks. Enjoy!

Ok, So isn't this just the cutest group of friends you've ever seen? Yea I know! Well the outfit I love the most is the cheetah print pants that gather at the bottom with an oversized shirt!

I die for these pants... really any print paints that aren't doing the most. But unfortunately, I have a flat asian ass so I look a bit silly in these But I love this look!

Do I even have to explain why I love this? Love the pants<= Mad I cant pull them off, I love scarves and this nude blazer!

Night out? Sequins Tights!! I love this... They are really itchy though, but a few shots can cure that hahaha

You can dress these up or down. Suede wedges scream winter right!?

Colored skinny jeans- Love these =) And you can wear these in any season

A patent Nude heel is a MUST!! It can go with almost anything, can be dressed up or down, and can transition from season to season. I have a suede nude heel from Bakers but suede is too wintery to wear in the warmer seasons and since I unfortunately can't afford Louboutins I will settle for these

Steve Maddens =)

And let me end this by saying; I will NEVER relate or understand a girl that would prefer a pair or tennis shoes over boots, heels, wedges, flats etc. If you're not working out, and you're wearing tennis shoes for "fashion" change your sex, then SHOOT YOURSELF! I would NEVER in life turn down a pair of heels for tennis shoes- EVER! And I think if your no longer in high school then you should have this same mindframe!

I relish in being a Woman, apart from period and childbirth, why wouldn't you?!!

Tomorrow is SatHAIRday Tune In!!!

My First Short Story!

So I am taking a Creative Writing course as an English elective this semester. I'm pretty excited about it! I've always wanted to write, and would do so but just bs here and there. Well our first assignment was to write a creative non-fiction piece

1.)Creative nonfiction (also known as literary or narrative nonfiction) is a genre of writing that uses literary styles and techniques to create factually accurate narratives. Creative nonfiction contrasts with other nonfiction, such as technical writing or journalism, which is also rooted in accurate fact, but is not primarily written in service to its craft.

Now that that's out of the way, let me introduce my piece =)
I wrote this from a very honest place- VERY honest- you'll see. Dont judge... and let me add that Mason is the best thing that has EVER happened to me, but this is where I was at this naive time in my life.

Oh yea, if you didn't know; when you write creatively grammar isn't always used the way we learned in grade school but rather as a tool. So the way it's structured, I meant for it to be that way. Ok Ok I'll stop rambling,

Here it Goes Ahhhh!!!

Title: A Positive Negative

Usually a positive is… well, positive. I’ve never wished for something negative more in my life until this very moment. Still in disbelief, I administered four more tests to be completely… positive. First thought that came to mind was, “How am I going to tell my parents?” I come from an Asian family with traditional values. You know you’re not ready to be a parent when you’re scared to tell your own parents! Hell, I was only twenty-two still feeling my way around through life, not trying to create life. I am about to be responsible for an entire being, a soul, a heartbeat, a brain! Where was my brain? My palms grew sweaty. I became light headed. I felt my stomach drop into my asshole, and I was on the verge of either fainting or vomiting. “So is this what morning sickness feels like?” I took a deep breath and tried to pull it together. I gazed into the bathroom mirror looking past my physical self, but rather into myself. I saw nothing but panic, fright, confusion, and disgust. “How did this happen?” Well I knew how it happened but how could I let it. I’ve never done this much soul searching in the bathroom in my entire life. The most thought that took place here was while I was on the toilet in the mornings trying to decide whether I should have oatmeal or cereal for breakfast. “Breathe. Just Breathe.” I had three options; become a mother, adoption, or abortion. Adoption: carry around this person for nine whole months then just hand it over like a turkey I’ve been warming in the oven for another family to enjoy. My dad was adopted and despised his mother for many years for it. I’d be a quitter, a failure, despicable in his eyes. Abortion: Wow… now that’s a scary thought. It’s sort of messed up to kill something that I, myself created. Well some scientists say it’s not technically murder. But in the small chance that there is some Big man upstairs tallying up all of our sins and waiting on our big judgment day, do I really want to add this to my already seemingly long list of transgressions? Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner, he’s a keeper!!

            The next step seemed harder to do than make the previous life altering decision: Telling my mother. I held out. For two months. Which felt like forever. Mothers have a special power and can sense when something isn’t right but I couldn’t wait any longer. This was the moment. “Mom I have to tell you something.” “I knew it,” she said “I could tell something’s wrong.” There was the longest pause as we sat on the bed looking at one another. Each second felt like an eternity. My palms started to sweat and that feeling came back again: where I couldn’t tell if I were about to vomit or faint. “Dammit! Must be that damn morning sickness!” I opened my mouth with every intention to just confess. Just say it! But no matter how hard I tried, the words “Mom I am pregnant,” wouldn’t dare roll off my tongue in the presence of my mother. I just sat there, clammy, red, scared, and befuddled studdering like a flaming idiot. This was the beginning of the most painful, now hilarious, guessing game. “Samantha.” she said while holding my hands and looking me deep in the eyes as if she could telepathically figure out my secret “Tell me. I am your mother.” Tears began to uncontrollably stream down my face. I knew that at that very moment, it would be the last time that she looked at me as her innocent child. “Are you in trouble?” she asked. Which besides from the truth was probably the most rational guess she made that entire night. My mother watches too much Lifetime movies and Korean dramas. She asked questions like, “Are you getting kicked out of school? Are you addicted to crack cocaine? Heroin? Alcohol? Did you beat somebody up? You didn’t kill someone… did you? You stole something? Are you sleeping with someone’s husband? Are you getting locked up in jail?” Didn’t I tell you she watches too much tv? The “Are you pregnant” question was the very last. I held my head down in shame with tears and snot pouring out of my face and onto the blankets, slowly nodding yes. My mother placed her hand on her chest and took a few deep breaths. Her eyes raced around the room as she was trying to figure out what just happened and take it all in. She placed her hand on mine and calmly said, “Everything will be okay.” I’m sure the guessing game played in my favor. I think my mom was just relieved I wasn’t a heroin addict or a murderer.

Hope Yall enjoyed it! & Yes this is non-fiction! It really did happen this way!! Lol

I'll have more pieces to post coming soon!!

Intro to A Poor Woman's Eat Pray Love

So this is a Poor Woman's "Eat Pray Love." If you are unfamiliar with the movie, it is based on the true story of a woman on a search for essentially, Herself. She travels half way around the world to Italy, India, and Indonesia. She is miserable in her marriage, divorces the man, and embarks on a self reflective journey.

Well, Since I dont have thousands of dollars to travel around the world "finding myself," I am stuck in the confines of doing so right here in good ol' Louisiana.

I am recently discovering that I do not believe in organized religion, especially after taking two courses on religion. There are too many changes and holes, and sometimes sounds a bit delusional- SHOOT ME! Yes I said it. I've been perfecting the craft of meditation and finding spirituality in this world, while finding a calmness and peace in my heart.
I started practicing yoga about two weeks ago downtown, and it is like physical therapy for the body, mind, and soul<- Love it
I graduate in May, and I am scared shitless... I'll blog more on this later- Trust me!
My love life is a rollercoaster and seems to be lacking both words; Love and Liveliness!

I can't take a vacation on life like Julia Roberts did but I am about to embark on the most epic journey yet: My Life...

Stay Tuned =)

This Blog will be all things Me; my life, dreams, hopes, beauty, and bullshit
