Obsessed Pt. II
"Studs & Sponge"
[featuring: Silence & Noise beaded epaulet dress// Alexander Wang Coco Duffel // DIY Stud denim jacket// Spongebob x Bape plush toy// Spongebob plush toy]
Yesterday when I did my "obsessed" post I thought of it as a one time thing to express my appreciation for leggings but as I sat around and went through my clothes, I realized I have quite a lot of different obsessions and it would be cool to have different features on my blog for each one. This obsessed is dedicated to my love of studs and Spongebob! Everyone knows how much of a stud feen I am but little know how much I love Spongebob lol. I watch it everyday, and even have episodes on my iPod, I won't go to the extreme to have my room covered in spongey (as my bf calls him) but I do have a few teddys. The show is hilarious and its ok to tap into your child side once in a while, being serious all the time is boring! Now for my love of studs; I just love how they make a simple outfit look, on jacket collars, shoulders, shoes, they look great! I have a DIY project coming up soon featuring studs as well so look out for that.
Mixed Prints
Today was exhausting, even though I got out of school at 1, the two midterms I took today really drained me. Biology II & AP Statistics, statistics wasn't that bad but my bio midterm made me feel like a complete idiot! I felt like I didn't know anything and for all my years of being in school I've always hated science! I always catch on to things quickly and do well in school but when it comes to science I just don't get it. After a little chipotle and hanging with friends I'm back in the house in need of a nap and my boyfriend lol (a nap with my boyfriend sounds better). Anyway, my tripod came in today and I snapped some pictures of my outfit, I'll try to do this more often now that I can take pictures of myself :) I don't usually mix so many prints but when I threw on everything it actually worked (at least I think so haha).

The Obsession
I've been wanting to do a post like this for sometime but it kept slipping my mind, I've probably mentioned before either on my twitter or in a previous post how much I hate wearing jeans/pants. It may sound crazy or it may not lol, when I say I hate wearing pants I don't mean I like to bare my bottom at all times, I mean I LOVE a great pair of leggings. I don't think you can understand my obsession unless your apart of my everyday life. I think this can sum it up and make it clear to you: my boyfriend has never seen me wear jeans! (haha no freaky thoughts intended). My obsession with leggings may stem from my extreme laziness or the fact that you can never go wrong w/ them, I can stuff my face and not have to loosen any buttons, or have to go through the hassle of breaking in a great pair of hard denim jeans. Leggings are made to fit your shape, whatever it may be and they feel great & look great. "But what do you do when its cold outside?" I've gotten this many times and my answer is simple, layer up! My style has become a lot more feminine in the past couple of months and I love floral dresses and tulip skirts, and these items aren't exactly winter wear but to save me from the harsh winds I always layer up! The picture above isn't my entire legging collection but just whats clean at the moment (I need to do laundry soon!) I try to buy atleast 1 pair of leggings per week, and sometime I may duplicate the ones I buy (you can never go wrong w/ simple black leggings). More often than none I find myself not being able to find the perfect pair of jeans & don't get me wrong I love a great pant as well (harem, tailored, or a great pair of shorts) but leggings will always be my first love!

"Flattery Is..
the sincerest form of imitation".
I try not to get annoyed when people copy off of me, or steal my ideas, because sometimes it's not that serious. This isn't a post to sound cocky, or conceited, but I just need to let this be said, it really bothers me. My mom always tells me to take it as a compliment but I just can't! I feel credit should be given when its deserved, and I think for the most part my ideas are original and if they aren't I always make sure to give credit to whom I got it from. This isn't something thats new to me though and by now it shouldn't phase me but I'll be honest and say it does, when people are constantly copying you, you get really selfish and I tend to keep everything to myself just to avoid the same thing from happening. It's sad when you feel the need to even keep things from friends because you know they'll just go around and do something you were planning to do, and I'm sure this goes on in every relationship, but it's pathetic to me. I'm the type of person to stand on my own, I don't like to depend on people (besides my mom lol <3) and when your that type of person you feel like everyone else should be the same way (I know everyone isn't like me) but I seem to attract people who can't stand on their own and do for themselves. For some reason it's in a lot of girls nature to tear other girls down, just because they aren't happy with themselves. I don't feel like that at all, but I see it alot, I'm happy for people who are happy w/ their life and what they're doing. No hard feelings at all. What all of this is telling me is that I need to surround myself with better people honestly, and watch what I say and who I say it to. Survival of the fittest right?xx lluvia

Tuesday Tunes: Soldier of Love
I love the video & as I stated before I cannot wait for Sade to release her album, what I love most about her music is from 10 years until now she's still staying true to her sound. I would've given up on music if she would've came back w/ a song ft. Drake and auto-tuned (*cough cough Mary J) ha!

P.S: Isn't my twitter background the best you've ever seen? If you didn't know already I'm a HUGE fan of Golden Girls and definitely recommend you check it out. (it comes on WE & Hallmark channels) It's sort've like Sex & The City circa 1985 & w/ 60+ yr old women. Trust me, you'll get addicted!

Happy New Year: The Recap
(12.31.09)
First off I would like to wish everyone a (very late but very sincere) Happy New Year! I'm sorry about the major hiatus but while spending my week in NYC, out of pure laziness, I left my laptop behind. For some reason I feel weird blogging on any other computer but my own so heres the recap! I had a great time spending it w/ family, friends, and my boyfriend. Although, I did really miss my own house, bed, and even VA! I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted and I didn't even get a picture of myself in my NYE dress that I loved! but oh well :)more pictures after the jump !
