a glimpse of the dark side

OK, I never write about brunettes, or any other non-blondes for that matter. I just don't. Alas, upon further research of the lovely Leigh Lezark I learned that she is an natural blonde. Crazy to imagine her that way, she's really nailed the goth glam look. Good enough for me, because I love her!

Tanya Dziahileva

Belarusan beauty Tanya, who is commonly described as resembling an elf or an alien, is my current fascination. The ads of her that stick out in my mind are for Michael by Michael Kors... she's got hair down-to-there and the thinnest little body I have seen in a while! BTW...she was born in 1991 (she turned 20 a few weeks ago)! Holy shiz.

dior resort 2011

Dior never lets me down. This collection, unvieled in Shanghai, had quite an interesting spectrum--everything from sugary sweet pastels to skintight leather. Equal parts Grace Kelly and Rizzo from Grease. Needless to say, my favorite looks are more along the lines of the former, and something about the boxy cuts and oversize accents are remniscent of Elle's skirt suits and pillbox hats in Legally Blonde 2...in a good way!

ps-i love the super teased hair! so fun.

date night

this past wednesday novio and I had a little date night that consisted of japanese, irish, and mexican. i love being multiculturally appreciative. the beers look tiny, but that's only because you get FOUR that size--each one a different european draft. beer sampling is definitely the way to go, especially when you don't recognize much on the menu...

his hair is getting so long! and he wore the nuevo shirt i got him in nyc :)

nyc, you complete me

This past weekend marked my primero excursion to THE city, aka NYC. I can honestly say now I have caught the fever, it took me by surprise. My heart rate quickened and I got a little anxious and then it happened--I fell in love with a city. I can't wait to go back!

Great times were had, and amigos from all different walks of mi vida are now intertwined. Not to mention my dad's cumpleano, which is what promped the trip. Hope you enjoy the pics!

at home…enfermita :(

i am so sick! i'm alternating between pedialyte and sudafed.  thankfully, i feel better than i did this morning--but certainly not my best.  How pathetic to end a four-day weekend and THEN get sick!! I feel like such a bum. I had grandiose dreams of waking up early today and going to the gym (since i've been avoiding it!) and i end up laying on the couch all day in and out of (hopefully!) beneficial bouts of sleep. Bonus! I caught the tail end of The Land Before Time. Above all else i just want to wake up tomorrow and at least be able to sit through a day of work... here's to hoping
