Spring 2012 Trendbook

Spring is almost upon us. Well we upbeat fashion lovers already know the style reports. Not everyone is on top of it or really care. Last week 3 friends and I couldn't go to New York Fashion Week but wanted to see the Delia's local fashion show. We went but missed the show. So with very little money between us we decided to do "pic and dips". We went to several stores in the mall and created some looks, took pictures, returned the clothes, and left. Some stores don't allow it, some stores encourage it. It also depend who you are. It's like food blogging, so free publicity in some sorts?

The players:

Kemme and Loverboy as

The Smh Couple

Wet Seal Spring 2012

Idk why but alot of girls don't know a good thing or two about dressing for your body. I'm a apple shape. My weight doesn't stay at a certain size for more then 6 months. I tend weigh 20 lbs heavier at the beginning of spring then it would be at the end of summer. In the fall, I maintain my weight but by winter, I stop exercising and become fat. All this fat tends to center around my stomach, and my boobs stay about the same size. So if I don't dress properly, I'll get asked stupid questions like "How many months are you?" and stuff.  If you are anything like me save yourself the problem---> just wear clothes that hide your curves and layer. 

Hollister Spring 2012

Hollister doesn't give much variety in styles. Their style are typical, overpriced and can be just as easily found at Aeropostale, Aberocrombie, and Pac Sun. We went into the store anyway because the store interior is nice and we had the luck of snagging a huge dressing room. 

Charlotte Russe 

I hated Charlotte last winter but for spring, we came to terms with each other. She had a lot of Liz Lisa Cheat Ones, and color blocking and more variety of styles. We had fun abusing the dressing rooms but I can tell we pissed off the girl working her shift at Charlotte. 

Forever 21 Spring 2012

Forever 21 out of all the stores we went to, had the best spring line, I feel. Though we didn't really take advantage cuz, we only raided the first floor of the 2 floor mega store. But we did get some cute looks. 

I made such a stupid face in this pic. 

And we concluded our dressing room raid with F21.  We didn't really take full of advantage of all F21 had to offer but rushing through dressing rooms with the mall closing with 2 hours is not an easy task. We got tired!

Plus poor Loverboy had to wait outside every dressing rooms waiting for us to finish! 

Haha, poor Ev was caught off guard

 Has anyone ever told you that a Forever 21 superstore is like Heaven?

Alright! Enough of my photospam! Bye bye!  

Music Artists that need to do something different

I know you guys HATE when I talk about celebs but I think I can predict whose career is ending. For the most part music these days have the tendency to really suck. It's catchy but no one is really original. Youtube has much more originality then most artists these days.

1. Nicki Minaj
Career Status: It's going to be over soon.
Why?: Nicki Minaj is a collaboration artist to her core. It's rare for her to have a good song that has no one else on the track. Yes, there are some exceptions. But lately her latest tracks, her image, and everything else has been riding on that train toward the end of her career. The problem is all the things that made Nicki Minaj a star are slowly being erased by this Lady Gaga-like style. Her songs are becoming riddled with sex and nonsense. What happen to the Nicki Minaj who wanted to be an inspiration to teenage girls? How can she inspire teenage girls when she has had one nose job too many and beyond realistic boobs and ass. I use to be a OMG Nicki-fan but now, it's time for her to crawl in a corner.

This is the Nicki I fell in love with but I guess she's dying

Super rant corner:

WTF.  The song Stupid Hoe is probably the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life. AND Nicki was way more prettier when she first came out (before nose jobs and lipo and her second ass job and her original boobs). I'm pro-plastic but there is a broad difference between beautiful and just too much. Her old style I feel was more down to earth and we--the fans-- don't only want an entertainer but someone who is realistic. Nicki Minaj need to takes some steps backward.

Her most horrible song of late:

Was she trying to get at another female MC? All she did was make a fool of herself.

2. Madonna
Career Status: Should be retiring
Why?: Madonna is one of my favorite artist of all time. However her newest song did not hit the spot. It was a complete waste of her talent. The song was completely out of touch with musical talent and reminiscence of the garbage we hear daily on the radio but worst. The video in turn was tasteless and amateur. Madonna is a 50 something years old, why I am seeing her boobs? Madonna is one of the greats---no doubt about it--- but there is nothing wrong with falling out of the scene after you hit the high point. Madonna already has hit the high point and has did a successful come back just a few years ago.  She shouldn't mar her career with a horrible song.

                                           Horrible Song we mentioned

                                                    One of her better songs



Despite this I will ALWAYS love Madonna and I will still love the Old Nicki. I can only hope that their careers will take a turn for the better.

Guide to Life:Alcohol and Drugs

Though myself never done drugs, once I got into high school, it was always around me!  Television and music made it look so cool. I use to watch that 70s show religiously. It made drugs look so cool but in the end none of them went to college and somehow became remotely successful!  What kind of life story is that?  Drugs aren't cool and being drunk isn't cool either.

I once a knew a girl in my school who was addicted to drugs. She was a really smart person but she was REALLY annoying. I could tell she was being bullied. She had sex to be able to get her hands on the drugs. Through psychology it seemed that she was getting better. Until she was dropped out of regular school and sent to a school full of "problematic" kids. Somewhere down the line she dropped out and opted to get her GED in another program. With that program she didn't have to be in school everyday. She instead went to the city to fulfill a career as a prostitute. Now as prostitute she didn't even get to touch any of her money. Her pimp took care of EVERYTHING. So now she got off of drugs and everything but she still living a reckless lifestyle.  What really prompted me to reflect on myself was what happen when she came back to the school for a visit. She took me to the side to talk about where our lives been for the past year. I told her, I was recovering from alcoholism and she told me she was recovering from drugs. Then she said "We are more alike then you think we are. Even though we've had our difference I think we can become closer now. Why don't come and work with me? You're obviously wasting your time in school"

I was stunned and refused. No matter how much money her career was making, I could never go down that road. But her words seem to strike in a cruel manner, did I sink so low? It's true many things happen to us to lead us down these similar pasts. I don't know the specifics on her side but I do know mine. When I was younger, my then 19 year old, sister cracked under our parent's pressure and dropped out of college. She moved out and never enter our house again for the last 7 years.  Now she lives in the south---> I haven't seen her for 4 years. Communication between us has became very brittle. But I kept my head strong and kept moving with my life. Then my best friend, who had long ago moved away but we kept very close. We were penpals and the day she came back to visit, she died in a car accident. From then on, I went very very emo.  Despite my attraction to all thing dark, I still hadn't completely lost myself. I had joined marching band, which kept me busy all the time. I began eating more to fill in voids of silence. Everything that could keep these little things from haunting my life.
What really broke me..... was having my heart broken, twice, just after entering high school. The first bf only dated me because he pitied me and the second didn't even formally broke up with me. He just got a new girlfriend. Amazing how *love* can break the strongest of people right? I began sneaking my parents liquor, and to some amazing extent, despite being such tiny drops, it made me forget what was hurting me so much. Soon I got a job, working at Mcdonalds. The money went to gambling. At these gambling parties, liquor was always being served. I never did drink too much and I thought as long as I could get these people drunk, I was scoring a lot of people. I was very careful because most of the time I was in a room with probably one other girl and 5-10 male gang members. It was risky, always. There was times, I owed money and I would in turn be chased for it.

One day, I wasn't careful. I became really drunk and I owed a LOT of money. I didn't know how I was escaped this situation without injuries. I went to the bathroom and called my then-bf to get me out of this. He used all his savings to pay off my debt and dragged me out of the place. After I got out safe, he slapped me and broke up with me. He said this wasn't the girl he was dating (there is more to this story---> but that's for another post)

 It could of destroyed my life. I decided to just not drink at all because alcohol (to me) lead to the gambling (for the free drinks) which could of lead me to jail (underage for both drinking and gambling -__-).  The sad thing is teens see themselves as invincible. That no matter what happens, they'll come out alright. But our parent's protection has made our vision hazy. Our parent's protection can only protect to us to a certain extent. For an organize society to function, we have to follow the rules or pay the price of our crimes. I personally don't want to be denied of my freedom.  All the same, alcohol and drugs make us lose control of our lives. IT makes us THINK that we are FREE but instead its taking CONTROL of our lives.

If you feel like you have no where to turn; don't go to drugs. Please go find someone to talk to. If you are on drugs or alcohol find someone to help you GET OFF, because eventually your life will be destroyed and everyone who once believed in you will turn against you.


Okay guys since my last two post were all very emo, I'm going to not publish Guide to Life: Heartbreaks for at LEAST a week. I'm going to publish Guide to Life: Camwhore Queen before that. I also have a photo ebook I will be publishing somewhere in between.

With love,
