I still love this video.

Chasing Pavements

(desire to inspire, tumblr)

Those images are all what lead me to take interest in interior design. I was so set on fashion, like obsessed with it. I remember in my course 1 clothing class I would always draw up outfits I wanted to put together. Then I found desiretoinspire.net. I looked through the pictures and was in awe. I never noticed how fricken cool interior design was. Growing up I always thought it was just painting, picking out furniture, finding accessories (candles, afghans, lighting fixtures, etc.) But now I realize it's so much more than that. It's designing a place people want to live in. It's like finding a mood and projecting it in a room so when people are in that room they feel the mood meant to be felt. It's art, only in the form of walls, floors, furniture, and everything else. Just like fashion. Then I started looking at architecture and that is genius. I guess I just didn't realize all the forms of art out there. And I'm so stoked to go to college and see all there is to do with your life (whether art be included or not.) Anyway, I'm rambling. I really just wanted to show off those super cool pictures. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

all I see are stilettos, I guess I never got the memo.

I feel so distant from blogs/blogging. I've been so busy down the shore doing nothing. Just relaxing on the beach a.k.a. my absolute favorite place. I'm super excited to go surfing for the first time on thursday (is it difficult?) Lessons are by this surf shop in downtown OC which sells all the main surf and skate brands like Billabong, Volcom, Roxy, O'neill, Hurly, Lost, Split, and Rip Curl, (to name a few) but then they also sell Free People, RCVA, and a bit of their own stuff as well. It's the perfect mix of clothes, which brings me to my favorite website. Swell.com. They sell all the beach brands and surf gear, only since their situated in San Clemente, CA, they sell it all year round. As far as I know it's just an website, but maybe they have some stores out in cali. They used to have this featured stylist thing, where you would mail in your fashion inspiration(s) in any form and if you were selected, you would get to pick your favorite items from their website and get 1% of the profits for the month. I guess they got rid of it now, cause I can't find it on the website.

s-lush

I recently discovered Lush cosmetics, thanks to seeing many posts about it on other blogs. I'm contemplating whether or not I should spend cash I don't have, to scoop up some of these hand-made, organic products. Oh, and I forgot to mention Lush doesn't test their products on animals, making me vote yes to ordering some facial cleansers and maybe even a toner tab or two. Toner tabs are probably the coolest things ever:

I've never heard of anything like that before but I'm so excited to try it out!

hey bey

This summer is starting to be okay. I had the best weekend, and yesterday I got a manicure for my vaykay coming up. china glaze is by far my favorite nail polish brand. it just goes on so silky and looks exact. and i guess it helps that they have refreshingly unique colors.

it's official: my sisters web cam sucks. and it's a brand new computer. her's is a dell. mine is (was?) a dell. with all the complications I've had with dell I'm definitely not going to be a PC when i go off to college.

hey bay bay hey bey bay hey.

anywaze: my latest obsession is these YSL platform pumps.

I feel like if I had these shoes I would never take them off because they can match perfectly with so many things. and even if they didn't match I would still wear them to get the extra lift with the 4-inch heels. Speaking of Yves Saint Laurent, have you seen resort2010?
