Asymmetrical

5.29.2012


I love the asymmetrical skirt trend! I have been on the lookout for a simple chiffon hi low skirt for a few months now but I could never find one. The ones I came across were not made of chiffon, didn't come in the color I wanted, too expensive or didn't have my size anymore. So I kept running into a lot of problems when I was searching online to order one, which I thought was odd since I just wanted a simple one.  Anyways, so when I came across this one at TJ Maxx I got really excited because it had everything I was looking for. Although it wasn't black, which is the color I had originally wanted, I thought that this color was nice. A few days later when I was at Forever 21, I got lucky and found a black one that someone just randomly stuck between other clothes.  So for not being able to find any hi low skirts, I got pretty lucky finding two in the same week that each were priced under $20!

Also while I was putting my outfit together I noticed that everything in wearing is pretty much from TJ Maxx. I honestly shop there way too much.  But I have been getting really lucky finding great items there lately.

Anyways thanks for visiting my blog!!

Since my spring quarter is quickly coming to an end, I was starting to plan out what I would do this summer. But just as I was beginning to get excited for break, I found out that my school only has 3 weeks for summer vacation. :'( I was really bummed out because I thought I was going to get about 2 months of break but instead Ill be getting a little less then a month before I have to start a new school year. So now I feel like I have to make the most of my three week break because I wont get another until December. :(

Anyways was everyone else sad that yesterday, May 23, was the 2 year anniversary that LOST ended? LOST is my favorite show and I was seriously obsessed with it! Two years have past and I am still so sad its over. :( Does anyone else love Lost?

20th Birthday

5.19.2012

This past Tuesday I celebrated my 20th Birthday at the Aquarium of the Pacific. I wanted to go to the aquarium because I went there once for a field trip when I used to be in Girl Scouts. Although I don't remember what the aquarium was like, I just remember having a lot of fun there. So to celebrate my birthday, my family and I decided to spend the day in Long Beach and go to the aquarium and then go out to dinner afterwards.

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday on my previous posts! :)

Mothers Day

5.14.2012



To celebrate Mothers Day, my mother wanted to go to The Getty in Los Angeles. I've heard a lot of great things about this museum from a few of my professors so it was cool to go and see what it was like. I do have to say that my favorite thing about the museum was the restaurant there. Although seeing the art was cool, the food was delicious. :)

The middle of May is always a busy time. With mothers Day, my birthday on May 14 and my sisters birthday on May 15, my family is always extremely busy doing different things to celebrate each others days. I am especially excited this year because for my birthday we are going to the Aquarium of the Pacific! :)

Anyways, thanks for checking out my blog and I hope all of you had a great Mothers Day!

I felt like getting dressed up today so I decided to wear one of my favorite dresses at the moment. I got this dress from H&M last year. I love how the dress has a mix of chiffon and pleather; the mix of materials makes this dress different form any other dress that I own.

I'm excited for next week because May 14 is my birthday. :)  Im going to be 20 years old! I can't believe that I'm not going to be a teenager anymore. I feel like it was yesterday that I was in middle school and I was obsessed with harry potter, I was reading digimon fan fiction (Yes, I love digimon), and I was watching the first season of Lost. :)

I Love The Killers!

5.04.2012


 Today I wanted to wear my favorite t shirt with a new skirt that I got from TJ Maxx. I love this T- shirt because The Killers are my favorite band! I have loved them since middle school when their first album came out and I have loved them ever since. They are my favorite band because I don't just have one favorite song of theirs, I love so many of them that it would be impossible for me to just choose one. Their song A Dustland Fairytale inspired my blog name. :)

 One of my top favorite songs of theirs is For Reasons Unknown. This song wasn't always one of my favorite songs but when heard them sing it live at Coachella in 2009, I instantly fell in live with it. Seeing them preform live for the first time made me fall in love with their music all over again. I also like what Brandon says in the middle of the performance :) Their performance of this song is my favorite part of their performance. Here is a video of their performance of For Reasons Unknown at Coachella. 

 

"Have you ever been in love?

Oh love, it can start very quickly and very easily.

As simple as a way a beautiful girls hair falls across her shoulders.

But it can disappear just as quick.

You wake up one morning and its gone, but you want it back and you wanna fight for it!

You wanna breathe that fire again.

So you call for it, 
 You call out....

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

This quote makes me so happy. :)

Spring Showers

5.01.2012

Well it has been over a week since I last posted but I am happy to say that I have finished all of my midterms! Its hard to believe that the quarter is halfway over; I feel like it just started. I have noticed that the time between the start of the quarter to midterms flies by but the time between midterms to finals always takes forever. I cant wait for this quarter to end because I am looking forward to summer break! I miss hot summer days! Where I live we have had a mix of really hot days and cold rainy ones.  Last week the temperature was in the 80's but today it was raining. I wish it would just stay hot so I can wear more dresses, skirts, and shorts. :)
