Weekly Wednesday: Songs Stuck In My Head

2012-01-25T19:23:00.000-08:00

So after being a big fan of the Papercut Chronicles I for some years now I decided to pickup part II. So far so good. The radio has got me singing Stereo Hearts and Ass Back Home (If I could sing as good as the girl vocal *Neon Hitch* I would definitely sing this to the boy). I would kill for her legs btw... Not a big text of post today because my new camera arrived today. I'm so giddy

A Deserving Guilt?

2012-01-21T15:29:00.001-08:00

This is what I wore this past Thursday running errands... Sweater: Target - Pants: F21 - Shoes/Bag/Jacket: H&M - Bow: D.I.Y So I had a little shopping craze and found some love for H&M. This is just some from day one. I had my eye set on some things at Zara down in Santa Monica but just decided Zara just isnt my thing. Then Thursday H&M had a re-opening party to

When Plans Change...

2012-01-19T02:04:00.000-08:00

So for the sake of this blog and my interest in taking photos I purchased this... If you see the first order is my investment in a Canon DSLR. I am so excited and intimidate at the same time. But I know this is something I have wanted for so long and if I put it off any longer I wont do it down the line. Anyone get this nervous buying their cameras? What camera do you use and what was it

Tacos and Velvet Bows

2012-01-15T14:25:00.000-08:00

I headed back down to Huntington Beach earlier this week for some fresh air. This time I stayed toward the shops and avoided the beach. Did you know there is a bar on the second floor of the shopping area that has a 'Taco Thursday?' Well they do and my roomy and I took advantage of that. I got full off of 4! My filling trick? Lots of cheese (and i mean A LOT) and a squeeze or two of lime. My

Weekly Wednesday: New Camera

2012-01-11T23:30:00.000-08:00

I have decided to try adding a segment to Roses are Red with 'Weekly Wednesday.' Since Wednesday is the middle of the week I should have found something to obsess over by then. Whether it be a song, a trend, or item it will be posted here on Wednesdays. I have hesitated implementing a regular post schedule for a while but i think this is a great start. So from this point on you guys will always

Go Out Into The World

2012-01-05T17:58:00.000-08:00

So after a few weeks of lazying around after a hectic Fall semester I finally got out into the world for things other than food and family related holidays. I know it sounds sad but after 3 months of being dedicated to school the laziness is well deserved. I even put in effort to dress like I wanted to be scene . Allison and I headed out to Huntington Beach to browse shops and do some reading

Just wanted to say Happy New Years to you guys! I hope your night was wonderful and the countdown was spent with the ones you loved.

No one likes to be left out of group pictures.

I feel like I dont even belong to the fashion world at all lately. I am in the last weeks of school and I could not anymore terrifying walking around my campus.

What do you do when it is too late to shoot outside and your apartment just wont do? You film in the frozen section of Vons. Yup! This actually has the perfect lighting because of the light from the ceiling and the extra lights from the freezers. It was so much fun and there are lots of pictures of me laughing because of all the people who walked by staring at us. Jacket: Biten by SJP -

Being Inspired Is Hard Work

2011-11-09T22:17:00.000-08:00

So with school being a big mess of unending stress. See what I did there? I rhymed to make things a little light-hearted. Anywho, I have been turning in assignments and putting together essays and group projects for the past few weeks. And there you go my "I'm a bad blogger" excuse. But hey I do not feel guilty about being busy because I talked about the madness of classes in other post. I do get

My TAIL of Halloween

2011-11-01T23:44:00.000-07:00

My weekend was a so fun! My roommates and I held a Halloween party on Friday. Having our friends over was so much fun and a lot of them got to meet each other for the first time. I was a Playboy Bunny (something i always wanted to go as I am a big fan of "The Girls Next Door") and of course the hubby had to don a robe and be my Hugh Hefner for the night.We didn't take lots of photos but I believe

Sunday in H-Town

2011-10-03T18:38:00.000-07:00

These photos are from yesterday afternoon when my roommate and I went to Hollywood for some down time from school. We went to the Fairfax High School Flea Market and end up walking down to the Grove... where I spotted Liz from Late Afternoon. She is as gorgeous as she is on her blog. She was dressed just as great. I waited around to decide if I would say something but chickened out and it was

Where Do You See This In The Next 4 Years?

2011-09-24T23:18:00.000-07:00

The title was one of the many question brought up today. Today was my boyfriend and I's 4 year anniversary. Every year I like to take time and reflect on our relationship and the many changes from the last year. This year (over dinner) we talked about what we thought about our progress personally and in our relationship. We are both proud of each other and very secure in the next four years (and

Overwhelmed

2011-09-08T22:37:00.000-07:00

I am sitting trying to wrap my head around all of the work I have ahead of me for the weekend. I know I asked for the professors to skip the ice breaker but I didn't think it would actually happen. One thing I can't wait for is an article i wrote for the weekly paper at my school. It's a student run paper so we basically have the freedom to write and submit what we want. This is more of an
