i are NERD.

yes, i can admit it, i'm a nerd. a huge one. one of your classic over-achieving-urban-bandgeek-starwars lovers. :D





may the force be with you.

guilty pleasure #3...

...$HOE$.

heels - stilletos, wedges, platforms, sneaks, kicks, ALL of iT. i'm a sicker than sick aDDiCT to footwear.\



and yes, please believe they cost a pretty penny.

p.s. i didn't even include the 'work appropriate' shelf

Do You Like APPLES?

...do you like apples?



yeah?

well, how do you like the$e apples? :)

aPPle naiLs

ooooooooooooooooWeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! i even impre$$ed my$elf this time around with these naiL$. :D i am seriously SUCH a fan of multiples designs on nails.

the man threw a big ol' popping jam



(cats from different states, even a different country to attend) so of course i had to throw down a mean set of nails. i was inspired to do these because my man loves to wear RED + i hadn't used any of the fimo apples yet -- which are really TOO cute. look @ the little seeds in the apple slices!!! :D

if you'd like to see more pictures from the jam itself, go here.

p.s. i NEED this in my life!!! someone please hear my plea:

mmmeeeeOW!

animal print/leopard print nails are a dime a dozen -- the web is littered with a million videos/entries/pics of leopard nails. this is probably why i've stayed away from the leopard print thang for so long; i mosdefinitely am NOT tryin' to do anything else like anyone else :P

i finally was inspired to do my own version of some sort of animal print after i saw this video from MissChievous:


i was totally tickled by her color scheme of purple/darkpurple/yellow so i decided to try my hand at the leopard print thang and this is what i came up with:



i used the neon orange from claire's and also a creme gray shade. :)



i do apologize for the bluriness; the neon was hard to capture and the bling straight blinded the camera :'(

dotted madness. an awesome mani that's super easy to do and super easy on the eyes - all winners in my book! :D





these lovelies were inspired by:

neon pastels + easter

i'm not too big on pastel colors. i guess they've always just been too wimpy and pastey for my taste, but i read a few rave reviews on claire's neon pastel (what an ingenious idea!) nail polish set a few weeks ago and set out to FiND.ME.SoME.

if you know me in real life you'd know i wouldn't be caught DEAD in a mall, but for the good of finding some neon pastels, i braved the horrendous mall for 15 mins --- just enough to pop in and out with 2 sets of neon pastels in hand. :D

i wanted to use all of colors at once (i know i'm so bad), so i did a rainbow-neon-pastel-mani for easter - complete with a slice of fime lime!





very springtimefresh!

guilty pleasure #2 + EARTH DAY!

...MOViES. namely, DOCUMENTARIES. le sigh! i truly have a siCK aDDiCTiON to documentaries. is it even possible to BE such a nerd? ...while trying to unwind in your off time???

i suppose it is.

so in lieu of today being Earth Day and the attempts to conserve our energy + natural resources, do something that requires little energy from you/theEarth/thelocalPowerPlant --- get comfy and catch a few flicks on your laptop! :) watch the following list of docs and gain a better understanding of the largest threats we are facing as a human race right now. i had to netflix these - they're not gonna be at the local redbox or dvdplay, my friends.

my top picks for Earth Day 2010:

The Future of Food

FOOD, INC.

End of Suburbia

BLUE GOLD: World Water Wars


.....and after you've settled into the bleakness of it all, these might serve as a reminder to what it is we're fighting for + came from:
