lost in the world

being able to do something for yourself AND achieving a goal is - as cliche as it sounds - indescribable. &which I did last Winter; studying abroad in the States. 'twas the best months of my life. a getaway. escape. new beginning. life changing. memorable. exhilarating. growth. &just plain fun. I would do it all over again. my recommendation? si. oui. ja. hai. na'am. tak. aye. oes. YES. 

Why? The list shall go on&on&on&on&on..but,
** Travelling is just an eye-opener. I've always wanted to travel the world. I 'spose everyone does and when you get the chance do it. saving the $$ is worth it. being thrifty before planning and splurging on an amazing trip is worth every second you are there.
* I met people who I hope to always keep in touch with +plus, when you meet other foreign people you have someone you know when you visit their country next time. free accommodation &tour guide!!
** Becoming a local. living elsewhere is different to actually traveling to a place. I hunted down LA - but there were just too many things to do.
* Personal growth. I actually learnt to take care of myself. it was the first time I lived out of home. scared? teeny bit. excited? heck yes. nervous? way too nervous. but I got over it. I learnt to cook and clean up my own mess (at my own pace).

Favourite places of visitation?
* Downtown Los Angeles; not many people enjoy downtown L.A. in particular. What people usually picture of L.A. is Hollywood, beaches, palm trees and the wheel at Santa Monica. But what I crave for was the dirtiness, the street art, the cracked roads, the architecture. It was just never enough. Finding L.A.'s little memorabilia was a plus; unknown local hang outs, underground dub-step clubs, secret menus at restaurants.
** Disneyland; I lived a 20-minute drive away from the happiest land on Earth. Okay, so there were two places that had lived up to my expectations in the U.S. and Disneyland was one of them. I had never been there as a child and now I loved every second of it. I actually bought an annual pass during my stay - how could you not? if you lived several minutes from the happiest place on Earth?! I would venture there after a day of classes or on hangover-Sunday. I truly was happier everytime I walked out of Disneyland...
* NewYork; sounds cliche? yea.. but. It's New York! Los Angeles turned out anything than I expected... Las Vegas, was a bit of a downer. But New York lived to its expectation! It was what I had ever imagined. My best friend and I would talk about venturing off to NY one day.. and it actually happened - which was the greatest! I can not really explain NY.. it may sound lame, but I can only describe it AMAZING! Taking my first step into Times Square.. overlooking the city lights on top of the Rockefeller Center.. being cramped and looked at weirdly in the subway.. getting lost in the East Village - It was everything I expected and more!

My next move? to graduate. Hell yeah! - hopefully this year.

Get a job. Where? Let's aim big &say the big apple. Dreaming big is for the cool kids. It doesn't hurt too. You got nothing to lose. Makes you strive for more. Why settle for second best, huh?

it's a whole different planet.

HEY, IF YOUR DREAMS DON'T SCARE YOU THEN, THEY'RE NOT F'n BIG ENOUGH

lacey daisy

embroidery. lace. it ain't just for the wedding aisle no more. &I'm not speaking about the white lace dress either. that should be crucified. although I do own one..moving on.

as you can see what this post will be about. lace. embroidery. my new lusting over. &with my previous old, old, terribly old post of "white on white". I still lurrve the white on white look. it's clean. shouts spring, &who can not pull off white? it brings out your tan - BONUS! but this time, bring on the lace &embroidery. it makes it more sexy, who doesn't love to have a peek through small holes onto your body..? pervert, anyone? appealing (to me anyway)

not inspired yet?

wanderlist

it's christmas, which means self-indulge time! but as I have not worked for 4-5months I definitely feel like a real uni student. having to budget and not splurging myself as much. I've kind of asked my parents for an iPad for Christmas, but the iPad 3 - yea, it has not come out yet. but just to give them a heads up. I can get a little crazy shopping. I was about to buy the iPad 2 cover flippy thing just because it was on Black Friday sale, I mean it was a saving of 11$?!  how could you not?!! but - thank god for - bestfriends, he talked me out of it. I want an iPad so much that I just want to buy a frkn case right now, because they are the most cutest things ever.

&now, i frkn love the new white iPod touch, they look ah-mazingly like sex. yea, i just want it 'cause it's white. but then again i did upgrade to the previous one because of its' camera &frkn love it. maybe i'll just wait for the 5th gen. got for me. but it looks so slick being white.

moving on.
i am just lusting over these right. now.

gold TOMS? why the f not. Valentino iPad case, mine. Lanvin sexy wedges with gold trimmings,
they will be getting wolf whistles forsure. CHLOE PARATY, yes please.
Jimmy Choo iPad cover - see I'm just obsessed.  Mono bracelet -hurry &get in stock. YSL ring, must a couple.

that is. it. for. now.

time for me to shop.

record breaking; have not blogged for three months. busy? not really. lazy? yes.
or just have not found something that has caught my eyes. but i'm not sure whether 'tis the season or it's just me. but i am starting to obsess over sequins, glitter, sparkles, metallics anything that twinkles. I've just bought gold sequinned shoes (will post in future) &some glittery nail polish by Butter. my goal was to find Chanel's gold but from the 2008 collection - fail. &I want GOLD TOMS!

purpley/blue & gold

I am also trying to find the perfect sequinned dress for possibly NewYears - I like to wear new things for NewYears, it's a tradition. compulsory. a, always have, always will 'thing'. here are my top not-so-afordable sequinned dresses.

as always...

lurrve sequins. whatup.

first ever online purchase

now that's a lie.
what I meant was, first online purchase on campus!
very excited. I opened my mailbox and inside was a white slip with my name!
I knew it had to either be my "lost" textbook that was 2 weeks late or my new shoes!!!
the mail office then handed me a huge box, so then I knew it was my lovelies!
yes, I opened it there. how could I not.
so it was my first online purchase AND also my first jeffreys. YAY!

It was kind of an impulse buy. I was just watching TV one night and a commercial came on for shoes...

and you know how it ends now. can not wait to take these babies out to town!
