Zombie Killer

2012-02-02T21:32:00.000-08:00

So lately I have been having a lot of zombie related dreams. Just last night I had five dreams all filled with zombies. In my dream I'm running around a house trying to figure out what to grab before I make my get away. Now if I were a super awesome heroine in a zombie movie I would love to wear something like this....

I met Gala Darling....my favorite blogger!! I completely fan girl'ed out on her....all I could keep saying was, "You're Awesome!"over and over....hahahaha. I don't even do that with celebrities I have met! I have been reading her blog for a few years now. I love her style, exuberance for life, insightful words, she is truly awesome! :0) Her pink hair makes me happy too. I would love to work with her and just see the way her mind works. I think we could have some fun creating together. Check out Gala Darling's blog.

Alt Summit Party Party Party!

2012-02-02T14:36:00.000-08:00

So this Jan I got to do some very fun things! I helped out my friend Summer Bellessa put on a party for the Alt Summit Conference, which is a blogging conference with panelists and parties. She and Brooke White have a web series called the Girls with Glasses Show. They threw a party with a Paris theme....and it was FABULOUS! They had delicious Parisian treats....and a great backdrop of the Paris skyline! It was so fun. And then I was able to go and crash all the other parties being thrown....it was a wonderful girlie evening filled with photo booths and treats.

Love that background!
Pictured: Summer, Kelsie, Me!, Jet, and Brooke White!

Most dapper baby I know!

Squishing together!

Turning 30...and what my 20's taught me and what I am looking forward to

2011-12-16T00:09:00.000-08:00

So this past July I turned 30....can't believe it. I hear the 30's are suppose to be super awesome, I hope so. The 20's were such a crazy time. Soooo much change!

The 20's teach us so much about ourselves.
They make us strong.
We navigate new and scary/exciting experiences, and hopefully come out of those experiences better and more mature.
We learn who we are, we become our real selves.
The 20's are a time of so much opportunity, the world is open to us.
We are young and can be spontaneous!
You want to go live in a new city? DO IT!
You want to dye your hair a crazy color? DO IT!
Go study a new major? DO IT!
Take a trip abroad? DO IT!
Drive cross country? DO IT!

The 20's was all about taking risks and hoping they payed off. And learning from our failures.

What did I do in my 20's? Let's take a look.

2001 - Age 20 - had a less than stellar experience in college as an English major. Flunked out.
2002 - Age 21 - realized I really wanted to study fashion. Went to Italy and studied fashion design. Fell madly in love with an Italian man named Giovanni. Realized I didn't like fashion design, wanted to pursue more editorial side of fashion.
2003 - Age 22 - started school for a degree in Fashion Merchandising. Fell in love with a boy named Cory, had my heart smashed to pieces. Began a long journey of finding power and destruction in my sexuality. Met an amazing group of guy friends.
2004 - Age 23 - took a fashion school trip to NYC, where I learned I really loved big cities. Many stupid and courageous leaps with my heart. Fell head over heels for an engaged man, who I never told him I loved him, and had my heart torn apart when he left.
2005 - Age 24 - Dated a guy who was sweet, romantic, loving, thought I was beautiful, but also extremely jealous. I learned that that kind of guy sounds nice in a song, but in real life, too much for me. I interned at a fashion magazine in Houston...loved it. Graduated with my Associates in Fashion Merchandising.
2006 - Age 25 - Floundered a bit in life. Worked in retail mostly. Looked into and began the application process to go to school in Los Angeles. True beginning of the realization that all the meaningless hook ups and men in my life wasn't fun anymore. Truly not happiness.
2007 - Age 26 - Drove with my bestfriend to L.A. Began school at FIDM. Realized that staying friends with guys doesn't always work when they have a jealous wife. Started volunteering for as many fashion/film events I could. Dressed the cast for a friend's commercial. Realized I wanted to work in the film industry in costuming and wardrobe. Drove onto my first back lot for a film event. AMAZING! Dressed models for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Made amazing friends with a new group of guys. Realized a guy from my past was toxic and using me.
2008 - Age 27 - Styled my first editorial spread for ELIZA Magazine. Assisted various stylists on photo shoots. Got kicked out of a crazy stylist's house. Worked in retail. Was horribly broke and had to get help from family and church....sooo humbling, and eternally grateful for that help. Interviewed with the costume department for HBO's show True Blood, they loved me. Then was told corporate couldn't afford the liability insurance for me to be a free intern! CRUSHED! Spent my first Christmas away from my family. Realized I would be ok.
2009 - Age 28 - Got fired from my job, with no time to get a new one and pay rent. Realized I needed to move back to Texas. That was hard. Drove back across country to Texas with bestfriend, got lost and REALLY learned how to read a map! Don't trust mapquest! lol Moved back in with my parents. Floundered. Was seriously depressed. Took old job back. Decided to get back on track with my spirituality and church. Met a man who made me giddy. Let him pursue me. Went to Vegas with him. Told him "I love you" first.
2010 - Age - 29 - Took the next step with my spirituality, went through the temple. Love of my life proposed. Learned a lot planning a wedding with my mom. Had to reevaluate what I truly want from my life and work. Had an amazingly fun wedding. Realized that sometimes you just have to say things how they really are. Decided last minute that Texas might not be where we would end up. Sent hubbby off to find work in Elko.
2011 - Age 29/30 - Moved off to an unknown future with the man I love.

My 20's taught me to be more assertive, to speak my mind and be extremely honest. To go for what I want and take risks and be adaptable. I learned that my worth is not dependent on what anyone thinks of me, especially men. I learned friends come and go, and that's ok. My religion is something I truly believe and gives me purpose and joy. I am a very different person now than I was at 20. I like who I have become.

For my 30's I look forward to growing in marriage with my husband. I want to grow in my spirituality and understanding of the gospel. I want to have kids and learn from them. My 30's will have sadness and joys, they will be crazy and amazing. I look forward to it all. Except maybe the wrinkles!

We moved to SLC!

2011-12-15T23:54:00.001-08:00

Gabriel and I moved to Salt Lake City, UT in July and so far so good. We have a cozy little one bedroom apartment that is a work in progress when it comes to decorating. I am currently loving the fun colored lights and sparkles on the Christmas tree and fireplace mantel. I love me some sparkles!

Can't believe it's Christmas in 10 days! Been running around getting presents and wrapping them up in pretty purple and gold paper :0) It's always obvious which presents under the tree are from me. I believe in fun, pretty wrappings for presents....I like to make it a fun experience.

I am excited for this Christmas, as it is the first Christmas Gabriel and I will actually get to spend together since getting married. Last year he was in Elko and I was in Houston. It will be a new experience doing Christmas with his family. I am hoping it is a white Christmas....would be extra special, since we really don't have those in Texas.

I am excited to be working as a volunteer for the Sundance Film Festival this coming January. I will be working in Special Events....soooo, helping throw parties....should be an experience for the books :0) Wouldn't mind seeing some sexy celebs....Ryan Gosling....GO TO SUNDANCE!! I want to see you!!!

Rainbow Cake!

2011-03-28T13:59:00.000-07:00

I saw this tutorial online, and have been in love for quite some time. I decided to go the slacker way and used a box mix and 2 cans of Pillsbury icing, and made my very own Rainbow Cake!

You have to use white cake in order to get the colors to show their most vibrant.

Then Gel food coloring. I got both the Classic and Neon colors.

You divide the batter up in six bowls...you can have as many layers as you want depending on how many colors you choose to use. Then color each bowl of batter a different color.
From the Classic Colors I used, red, blue, and yellow. From the Neon Colors I used, green, orange, and purple. I used about a cup of batter for each bowl, it wasn't precise and some layers were kinda thin cause I started to get low on batter.

I used 8 inch round pans, I got mine at Wal-Mart from the decorative baking section. I made sure mine had the straight edge. I used three pans.

Pour batter into pans, after having greased bottom of pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 mins each. I put three in at a time. Then let cool in pan for about 10 mins.

I used squares of foil and tapped each layer out onto a sheet of foil to finish cooling. Clean pans and re-grease and pour in remaining colors into pans and bake according to previous time.

You can freeze your layers for 30 mins if you like, that way stacking and icing is easier and yields less crumbs. Place first layer on cake platter, I started with purple, then take some frosting and cover top of layer with frosting. Stack next layer, and cover with frosting, continue till all layers are stacked and have a basic amount of frosting to cover thinly. Let chill for 15 mins in fridge to make final layer of frosting go on smoothly. (I didn't chill the layers or the cake before frosting and had more crumbs and crumbly bits with the frosting.) Take remaining frosting and with frosting spatula start on top of cake smooth frosting out and working your way down the sides.

Final result was sooo fun to eat! and soo colorful and happy :0) So go make yourself a happy rainbow cake!

It's a new life

2011-03-02T21:25:00.000-08:00

soooo, starting a new eating healthy and exercising thing. My friend wants to be a fitness guru, so she's doing a 90 day program for free. So I'm supporting her and doing it.

Have a fridge of healthy and yummie food. Worked out today...haha that was a laugh....soooo outta shape. But I will persist. Gonna be hard while the hubby and I go outta town for the weekend but I can do it! :0)

I just wanna get healthy....especially if I'm gonna be having kids in the next couple years. I wanna get to a healthy weight and just have a healthier body so that I can feel better and be a better person/wife/future mom....etc.

Cheer me on! I'll need it :0)

The Wedding

2011-02-24T17:32:00.000-08:00

Gabriel and I got married on November 6th 2010 at noon in the LDS Houston Temple. It was a perfect day. My hair was finished sooner than expected, and looked pretty, so I was able to have a relaxed time to eat breakfast and get ready. The weather was cool and it was a clear day with blue skies. The ceremony was so meaningful and had me bawling with happiness.

After the temple sealing/marriage we went outside and took photos on the temple grounds. The family shots were done first and then we sent everyone to the church building for refreshments while Gabriel and I did our couple shots. It all went very timely.

We went to the church building and mingled with family and had some refreshments and then everyone was escorted to the Relief Society room where we were to have the exchanging of rings ceremony.

Much of my family is non-mormon, so we decided to have a ring ceremony to honor them and share a special moment with them.

It was cute and sweet. My dad lead me up to Gabriel and my Young Single Adult Ward Bishop (he's like our pastor) officiated the ring ceremony. He spoke about Eternal Marriage (we believe that when you are married in the temple you are sealed, in God's eyes, to your spouse and your future children for eternity rather till death do you part.) Then Gabriel and I shared off the cuff remarks of love as we presented eachother with our rings.....ok ok ok I forgot to write anything and then we both remembered as we were driving to the church building....LOL. Then as a nod to my dad and stepmom and them being Jewish we stomped on the bag with glass. It was fun!

The reception officially began at 5, and we had pretty tight schedule. We were announced and then had our first dances. Our first dance as a married couple was to Darius Rucker's "History In The Making", it's a song that we both really liked and both would kinda think of when we would think of our relationship.
My dad and I danced to "Daughters" by John Mayer, which he chose and I liked. Since I have my dad and stepdad, we split the time dancing, and then asked all dads and daughters to come join us, and my dad and I finished the song together. It was so fun to see everyone come up and share a sweet moment with their loved ones. One of the best moments was when my brother Sean came up and "danced" with his new baby girl, she was asleep in her carrier so he twirled around the dance floor with her in the carrier. It was so precious. I believe Gabriel and his mom danced to Rod Stewart's "Forever Young".

After the first dances we cut the cake. Our cake was beautiful and soooo yummie! It had 7 or 8 different flavors, with the main being lemon raspberry. The grooms cake was chocolate mousse. We didn't shove cake in eachother's faces....I let Gabriel know I didn't really care to have to redo my make-up....lol....she we were sweet and placed in carefully in the mouth.

After the cake we announced that we would be doing a special Jewish dance called the Hava Nagila, we had everyone join in, the guests danced in a circle around us and at one point Gabriel and I were lifted on chairs.....thanks for not dropping me!! lol......and we get danced around as we hold a handkerchief between us. It was sooooo much FUN!! and really got the party kicked off!

Two highlights were the delicious candy buffet (thank you Marla!) and an awesome photobooth that we DIY'ed (thanks Dad!). People loved it and it was just so much fun. It was all very laid back and really a party.

We were suppose to end at about 7:30 ish....but didn't get outta there till 8:45 ish...lol. People tell me they would have loved for it to be longer....and it would have been fun, but I think an 8 hr day for wedding party people was long enough....lol.

I changed into my leaving dress and we made our way through bubbles to our car lovingly decorated by my lil bro's then made less naughty by my maid of honor (thanks Mandy!)

The next day we had brunch with my mom and stepdad and some of Gabriel's family, and we were able to visit and we opened presents. Then mom and Larry drove us to the airport where I was surprised with tickets to Orlando, Florida, which meant were going to DisneyWorld and Harry Potter World!!!

Best husband EVER!!

I got married and moved to a small town

2011-02-22T20:10:00.000-08:00

In the past year since I last blogged, I fell in love with a wonderful mormon man named Gabriel, got married, and recently moved to Elko, NV, where we are currently inhabiting his parent's basement apartment.

It a pretty little town, with mountains all around, and it has snowed a few times, but it doesn't stick too long. The people are friendly and his family is wonderful and sweet.

Gabriel got a job working for Union Pacific as a signalman's helper. So far he is enjoying it, but it does take him out of town. He works 8 days on and has 6 days off. I am now a housewife, which is interesting. I will admit I'm a little bored and am brainstorming things to do.

And I now have more time to work on a blog :0)

Hugs

Love The Gubler!!

2009-11-01T09:23:00.000-08:00

I apologize my lovelys for disappearing the last couple of months. Meeting and falling for a cute guy tends to make one lose their sense of time and well everything :0)

so I read this interview with Matthew Gray Gubler and I am even more enamored with him.

Read it here :0) http://www.mademoisellerobot.com/2009/10/mademoiselle-robot-still-loves-you.html

he is just so yummie and I feel like he and I would get along famously. He's the kind of quirky that just is so adorable....and he even says he has a thing for women with curves!!! YAY!!! I have a chance!!!

That is, if my boyfriend doesn't mind....lol

Kisses

Guy Crush of the Week!!! - James McAvoy

2009-08-15T00:50:00.000-07:00

(From Penelope)

I was watching Becoming Jane earlier, and I just have to say, James McAvoy is just brilliant. Those eyes, the mischeivous grin, unruly hair, and chiseled body, all equate to a man of true fantasy foder. And he's a hell of an actor as well, so kudos there too :0) I also love him in Penelope (which is a great movie, and has amazing costumes and set design/decoration, a must see) In Wanted he is just sooo bad ass and he's just damn sexy in it. I do wonder what he is like in real life, he seems to be quite the gentleman, and seeing pictures of him and his wife (sadness when I found out he was married) they just seem sooo in love and happy, and a man that treats a woman right is just wonderful. Enjoy the photos!
-Miss Paige

(Children of Dune) (sexy sexy!!)

(Becoming Jane...I love this movie but it makes me bawl like a baby. Their love story is amazing and sad.)

Oui Oui Madame

2009-07-30T23:18:00.000-07:00

Everything about this girl in the photo here just says, "Classic French" to me. Her Bardot messy hair, the smudged bedroom eyes, pouty lip, and cool black outfit...is just amazing. I aspire to this aesthetic quite often...making it look easy is the key....effortless chic. YUMMIE!!

Girl CRUSH

2009-07-30T22:54:00.000-07:00

(I love her bow and pink teased hair here...and sparkles!!)

My latest Girl Crush would be Miss Gala Darling. Her webzine/blog is a colorful homage to making your dreams a reality and about living and loving a fabulous life and all in her own way. She has fun with life and fashion. She never takes herself too seriously, and one of my favorite regulars on her site is Things I Love Thursday, where she takes a moment to share the little and big things that make her happy at that moment. Be it cute socks with heels, or how her boyfriend says the sweetest things, or how some new accessory makes her smile. She has an affinity for all things that sparkle....it's and addiction we share...lol. So go on over to her site and see the amazingness that is Gala Darling. http://galadarling.com/
-Miss Paige

(I love the pop of color the tank adds to a sexy black look...P.S. I have that shirt...lol)

Get Your Color On!!

2009-07-30T22:33:00.000-07:00

I love color!!! Though I rarely wear much color. Most of my wardrobe is black. If I have any color it's usually in the form of an accessory, like a stack of bracelets, shoes, or scarf. Seeing this lovely lady on Flickr makes me want to run out and buy a candy colored wardrobe and start having some more fun!!! She definitely has fun with her clothes. A lot of her looks veer towards a anime raver super hero...but I just love the whimsy that she represents. Check out Miss Lorena Cupcake on her Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/julietbanana/

These last images are from Reem Acra's latest wedding line's campaign. I love the use of colors and the fun Circus styling of the shoot.

The perfect white t-shirt

2009-07-28T01:50:00.000-07:00

So I've realized I have this slight obsession/longing for the perfect white t-shirt and jeans. There is just something so alluring, fresh, and sexy about a white t-shirt that fits just right and has that soft worn in look and feel. And then paired with worn denim and soft hair, just soo sexy and classic.

Channeling Luna Lovegood

2009-07-12T22:19:00.000-07:00

I love the mix that Luna Lovegood's character displays with her clothes. It's fun and whimsical, with pattern mixes and neat colors and oddball accessories. And the actress seems to be on the more eccentric side of style in her real life as well.

I will certainly be channeling a bit of Luna when I hit the opening of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince this coming Tuesday night.

Alice in Wonderland

2009-06-09T00:12:00.000-07:00

If I were Alice I would choose to have these shoes adorning my feet as I traipsed around Wonderland. Though do you think the Queen would say, "Off with her head!" just so she could get her hands on these heart shoes??

-Miss Paige

I love Silhouettes

Such Rad Kicks

2009-05-28T20:26:00.000-07:00

I want the sneakers so bad. They would just be so much fun to wear and not something that everyone and their dog would have. They are from Forever21

Also I'm kinda wanting something to replace my gladiator sandals. They have been a constant on my feet for the last 5 months....I want something new....hmmmm?

-Miss Paige

The Sex

2009-05-20T21:12:00.001-07:00

These shoes are amazing!!! I want them sooo bad!! I would feel like Rocker Barbie with these bad girls on!! And hey, on they're also 70% off, so they're ONLY 280.80 dollars!! Which for Louboutin's is actually a really amazing price.

Birthday present??? Pretty please!!

Fairy Tale Gowns

Gorgeous dresses and the moods they invoke

2009-04-26T23:06:00.000-07:00

We all love ourselves some gorgeous wedding dresses. These make such beautiful statements and evoke different moods. Enjoy:0)

-Miss Paige

This dress is a very classic shape and design, but also very stylized. I picture a retro glam wedding. Very crisp, very formal, but with quirky accents. Like black and white with a pop of color, or lots of silvers and grey tones and fine bone china.

I love this dress. I love the fluidity of it. I picture a beautiful garden wedding with flowers over flowing from arches and tables draped in vibrant richly hued silks.

These dresses are so fairy tale. I picture a forrest wedding. Trees wrapped in white lights, with swags of airy white fabric draped between trees, creating gossamer tents. Crystals and flowers draped from tree branches, sparkling in the lights, and filling the air with a sweet fragrance.

le sigh Florence/Prato

2009-04-24T02:14:00.000-07:00

It's hard to believe that it has been 6 years since I lived and loved in Florence/Prato, Italy. I was 21 and it was a life changing experience. I studied at Fashion Art Italy

It was the beginning of my foray into fashion, and I studied fashion design and merchandising. The class was comprised of 5 students total, and was very hands on. Serenella Fumanti teaches the courses and is a blast to learn from. We learned how to create a collection, and so much more. We were able to attend trend/fabric/fashion fairs, and went on many day trips to museums and inspirational locations.

I loved being in Italy and being surrounded by the rich history and romance of it all. I did fall in love while I was there. His name was Giovanni Franzese, or Gio as I called him. He was sweet, shy, and adored me. We met at a party in a house out in the mountains. We talked forever, and then snuggled through the night, as everyone slept off their drunkedness in various rooms. After that night we became inseparable. It was a whirl wind romance. He taught me what it meant to love and be loved. It was my first adult relationship. I remember meeting up during lunch break and running around Prato just goofing off, holding hands and kissing non stop. I remember calling my parents freaking out because I was scared of how intensely I felt for him, asking them what certain feelings meant. lol

I miss running around Florence and Prato with my friends, checking out the sites, meeting people at pubs, and dancing at the night clubs till 5 am. It was amazing.

Here are some pics of Florence and Prato, and of me and friends. Hope you enjoy :0)

-Miss Paige

Florence Skyline

The Duomo of Prato; Gio lived just across the piazza (square) from the Duomo. His bedroom window actually overlooked the fountain and Duomo.

Me and Gio on my last night in Italy. Drinking one of the yummie fruit smoothies the bartender Leo would make for me.

Me and my Kosovo Boys at the Lion's Head Pub in Florence that I would go to a lot. It was pretty funny conversing, because they didn't speak really any english, and very little italian, and I spoke very little italian, and I definitely didn't speak ship (the native kosovian language) (don't know if that's how you spell it. lol) So our conversations were very basic, and had a lot of had gestures :0P

From left - Mario, me, Sascha, and Ardit (I had a HUGE crush on Sascha, and Ardit had a HUGE crush on me...lol.)

Billie and Me. Billie and I met at The Lion's Head Pub. She was afraid some guys were harassing me and so she invited me to sit with her and her friends. She was there for study abroad with her university. We became instant friends and got together as often as possible. I wish I still was in touch with her.

Me and Leo. He was the bartender at the local pub my roomies/class mates and I would frequent. He always made me really delicious smoothies (since I don't drink) and he was a lot of fun to talk with. Thanks to Facebook, I still am in touch with him. :0)

Dream Guy of the Week

2009-04-21T23:14:00.000-07:00

Gabriel Macht came most notably to my attention in the movie, Because I Said So with Mandy Moore and Diane Keaton. He plays Johnnie, a charming, sweet, sincere, quirky musician and single dad, who romances Mandy Moore's character Millie. He balances out her erratic, hair brained, spastic side, and calms her. He lets her be herself, and he loves her for it.

In real life he is married to model/actress/Real World London alum, Jacinda Barrett, and is a dad. He seems like a really down to earth, genuine, nice guy. And being a good dad and husband only makes him all the more sexy. I have been known to say that if Johnnie were real, he'd be my perfect guy.

That smile, those eyes, boyish good looks, lovely hands....YUMMIE!!

Enjoy :0)

-Miss Paige

Oh the jealousy!!

2009-04-21T22:33:00.000-07:00

So after posting the first Guy of the Week, Matthew Gray Gubler, I find out that my friend got to meet him. AGH!!! I was so jealous. She and her boyfriend saw and chatted with Matthew at the Starbucks in the Barnes & Noble located at the Grove shopping center in L.A. (Which was a double, dang!!, because she and I used to frequent that very B&N when I lived there, so close, yet so far!) She confirmed my inkling that Matthew is a complete dear. He was surprised and delighted that her boyfriend recognized him, and took a picture with my friends boyfriend. She also confirmed that he is indeed GORGEOUS in person, and has a smile that truly is breathe taking. (I noticed ;0P)

It got me to thinking what I would have said if I had met him. I would have probably suggested Vegas and marriage...lol...and a future with beautiful babies :0)

I also would have bonded with him over our shared love of Halloween.

Matthew Gray Gubler from Criminal Minds...sooo yummie!!! Former model and smart actor. His nerd chic is just so irresistable. The grandpa sweaters, long hair, dreamy eyes, chiseled features are all things that make him a dream guy. Enjoy :0)

BARBIE!!!

2009-04-13T22:20:00.000-07:00

So I was at WalMart the other day whilst my oil was being changed, and I happened to wander down the Barbie aisle (as I often do). And saw some re-issued Barbies. They had the original Barbie in her b/w swimsuit and ponytailed glory, and several popular Barbies from different eras. Well I picked up one of the boxes and turned in on the back, where a picture showed all the Barbies in the collection, and I pretty much screamed in delight when I saw that they had re-issued Barbie from Barbie and the Rockers from 1986!!! So I looked all over the shelf for her, and she was nowhere to be found. I searched the WalMart website, and again, they had all but my precious Barbie. I eventually found her on the Barbie website geared toward adults and collectors. She is $40 and comes with two outfits, and she GORGEOUS!!! Please oh please someone gift me with this wonderous Barbie....I never had her growing up....it would make the little girl in me soooo happy :0)

I love the Sartorialist and what he captures. He has such a great eye. I love this woman's mix of patterns and textures. It's a very laid back outfit, but still so unique and cool. And I always love a good bit of leopard spots in an outfit.

I was listening to the new Nickelback song, Shaking Hands, and well it's a naughty song that put me in a naughty fashion mood. If I were a high dollar call girl these are some things I'd wear...mmmm....La Perla, Agent Provocateur, body chocolate....all sinfully delicious ;0)

If I were a Spy...

or maybe even a Bond Girl...I think I'd wear something like this. Of course I'd rock the classic red lips and smokey eyes, and have my nails painted gold with black tips. Yeah that sounds awesome to me :0)

Current Obsession

2009-03-31T21:33:00.000-07:00

My current obsession, thank you Queen Michelle, is patterned tights. I'm loving the graphic quality of tights in an outfit, and how they can elevate a plain dress into something so chic, so fashiony, it's fabulous!!

I really love the floral ones and the vertical stripe tights, would be so much fun to use in a photo shoot :0)

-Miss Paige

I stepped out for a bit....but I'm back now

2009-03-24T16:55:00.000-07:00

Sorry it's been awhile since I posted, things have been a lil hectic with me having moved back to Texas. I moved, gosh, 3 weeks ago, back home from L.A. I miss L.A., alot. Though it's funny, cause when I was there I totally missed home....guess we're always wanting what we don't have.

I'm not on my computer right now, so posting cool pics isn't an option for me right now, le sigh.

Just wanted to say hi, and let you know that I do plan on updating real soon :0)

A 15 year unrequited love affair

2009-02-17T16:23:00.000-08:00

Hello dear reader, it's been a lil bit. So I have been craving these boots for probably the last 15 years. They were made by Skechers in the 90's and came in the mid calf and up to the knee lengths. I have yet to ever be able to find them, I don't believe Skechers actually makes them anymore, and they were hard to find even when they were popular. A guy I knew in highschool had them and refused to tell me where he got them (not that I could have ever afforded them, but still) and I never knew the name of them.

So I was watching Empire Records recently, and Liv Tyler's character totally has the mid calf ones in the movie. I was like OHHHHHH!!! lol

*le sigh*

How I wish I had those boots.

FANBOYS = AWESOME

2009-02-06T19:47:00.000-08:00

I saw the movie Fan Boys tonight, and it was AWESOME!! Totally funny, nerdy, and I loved it :0)

Yes yes I am a nerd, or a dork...I enjoy SciFi stuff. So I decided today to be irresponsible and go see the movie, I needed an escape from reality. Because life sucks right now, especially financially. Hence why it was super irresponsible for me to go see it. But whatever, I enjoyed it :0)

Go see it!!!

Nostalgia Over My Youth

2009-02-05T01:53:00.000-08:00

I've recently become reacquainted with the show My So Called Life that was on the air back in the earlyish mid nineties, and I love it. I identify with Angela and her crush on Jordan,takes me back to my teen years, it was all sooo DRAMATIC back then. Oy Vey!!

Also it's been making me wanna dye my hair with some manic panic, thrift my clothes, and get some awesome chunky boots. I loved the plaid babydoll dresses and combat boots.

I remember when Hard Candy and Urban Decay came out with their pastel and crazy colored nail polishes, vamp lipstick and nail polish was all the rage, baby tees with naughty phrases, thigh highs and short skirts, guys wore huge pants and wallet chains, my friends would pierce themselves with safety pins....ahh...high school.

You had grunge and then the Clueless look. Both awesome. I still watch Clueless and drool over the clothes. Hasn't been a resurgence of that look, though it was adorable.

I also loved the fashions of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, especially around the end of season 2 and beginning of season 3. Buffy was so cute and girlie and had these really adorable and coordinated outfits.

I myself wish I had pictures of what I wore in highschool, mainly my sophomore year, though I don't have many pics from before my junior and senior years. Maybe it has to due with how around 16 I blossomed and ditched the glasses and braces.

Oh dear reader, my fashion during 10th grade was quite interesting. I had two main looks, Granddad's old golf pants from the 70's (think lime green or blue plaid or lavender) a baby tee and my Van's wannabe's (and streaks of color through my hair courtesy of a marker) or short black skirt with black baby tee and strappy high heeled sandals (dubbed the slut shoes) top it all off with dark lipstick and chipped dark nail polish. :0) OH BOY!! haha

After 10th grade I became a bit more normal with my look. Tried to be a lil more preppy. Though one thing I do wish I still had would be the perfectly faded and worn Wranglers that I would steal from my brother and stepdad. They were bootcut, before people started wearing bootcut, and sat low on my hips, before hipster jeans were al the rage. I looked awesome in those jeans.

Ok so here are images to take us back in time :0)

I wanted a pair of vinyl pants sooo bad!!

Dream Home Stuff

2009-02-04T00:59:00.000-08:00

As I get older I dream of my own place. A place where I can choose my decor, play my music, watch my movies, and do this all naked if I so choose :0P

I gather images on my laptop of items that I love/want in my dream home. I'm a lil kitschy and love lots of color.

so in no particular order: Things I Love

How could you not have fun in a room like this??!!

So 50's and Barbie!! LOVE!!I'd be a baking fool and the awesomest hostess in this apron :0)

I love the silhouettes on the cups:0)

Wedding Day Dreams

2009-02-03T23:51:00.000-08:00

So I will admit dear reader that when it comes to weddings I am a hopeless romantic, and look at everything wedding related that comes before me. I even have a wedding binder, dear reader, filled with tear outs from magazines that range from reception ideas to wedding dresses to beauty regimen. I have this binder to be my go to when, one day, I will find myself engaged and ready to plan. I will be that much more prepared...I tell myself this so I don't seem so crazy...lol.

As an LDS gal I have certain criteria that must be met, like a modest gown. I also thankfully don't have to worry about a ceremony to pay for. Many LDS brides hold their receptions in the local church buildings gym/cultural hall, because it is a large space and also more importantly, free. Now while I like the idea of free, to me, a gym is a gym no matter how much you dress it up. I think the only way I might like the idea of using the cultural hall is if I were able to cover the entire thing ceiling, walls in white draped fabric and the floor in dark wood. But well that would just cancel out the savings of free, so a venue would be better.

haha got on a tangent I just realized.

So I find beautiful ideas and feel like sharing, because maybe my findings will help you dear reader if you ever come upon pending wedded bliss, and well I like sharing pretty pictures :0P

I love this cake. I've been thinking lately and drawn to very laid back and fun type of weddings. And I've always liked daisies and sunflowers and bright saturated colors like fuchsia and teal and royal purple. All of which are fun and a bit whimsical and carefree.

Such a great mix and all "running through a field of wild flowers" sooo pretty!!I love the simplicity of this dress, so beautiful, and it looks like it would float nicely as I walked. Also I've really been in love with Empire waisted gowns, I'm just finding the whole Pride and Prejudice look so dreamy. Floaty gowns and tousled tendrilly updo's = heavenly.

Blog Nirvana

2009-02-03T23:05:00.000-08:00

I found blog nirvana about a week ago. Kingdom Of Style is a blog I found randomly and I am in love. Queen Michelle and Queen Marie (the bloggers) have amazing style. Queen Michelle's style is the way I wish I could dress, and Queen Marie shares my affinity for all things sparkly :0)

I check it daily. It also makes me wish I lived in the UK, because so many people there have amazing style, it's just ridiculous.

Queen Michelle is my style crush. She is unafraid of out of the box clothes. She has a rock n roll edge and creativity that makes me jealous. She makes her own PVC leggings!!! I wish I could rock PVC leggings, but alas I am curvy in a way she is not. Shiny Thunder Thighs is NOT sexy!! lol

Queen Michelle = Love!!

Well I've been contemplating a blog for awhile, and here we are :0) Mostly you will find this blog as a place where I will post about fashion, interiors, wedding, art, books, and just about anything else that inspires me or catches my fancy. This will also be a place for me to just rant and rave and say what's on my mind about things.
