Bored-Shmored

      298-299-298-299. . .  Sooo I've [mostly] gotten over caring how many followers I have, I write what I want and if you like it: Awesome! :D (seriously each new follower shocks me.)  And if not, I can't make everyone happy (no one can :), besides there are 37456254287 other amazing blogs out there.

Butttttt this little 300 thing, I've been on the edge for like a week.  Not a plea for followers, just a thought :)

   I have a very serious/ thoughtful? post in the works, but those always take some time for me.  Hopefully in announcing it I will actually get it done. There's been a few times that I started thought provoking posts and the left them in draft.  That's my thing, if I can't type it up and post it right away it goes undone.

    I'm a little emotional right now, I won't say why, but I will say I'm blasting the Dashboard Confessional right now.


    May 28th cannot come soon enough (and at the same time, it gives me a month to give my all diet/workout wise.  Ohhh and that whole ACE thing I've been neglecting lately.)

   Summer Abs, DO IT!  It WILL be hard, but the feeling in your Abs the next day will be worth it!! It is the feeling of an effective workout :D  (As far as equip, I used kettlebells in place of sandbag and pull-up bar in place of dip station. . . in other words, improvise :)

I've had the strong desire to listen to The Postal Service lately


Also awesome:


   I really could post all there video/songs cause they all rock, but I'll leave that up to you to search them out :)

    Ahahaha, this is a post edit because "I am available for modeling" was just a search term to my blog.  Mhmmm yes I am :D   Have the airbrush ready ;)

    2 posts in one day? Maybe I'm just trying to make up for the fact that I am going to have less then 20 posts for the month of April.  It's all about the numbers with us runners.

Ketchup

   I came home to 1000+ unread posts, I thought about clicking "mark all as read," but instead I've been skimming through all of it.  I am now down to 290, I'll be down to 1-something once I skim all of Rose and Steph's posts, jeeezzz you girls post a lot (but I love reading it :D).  I haven't gotten to commenting on much yet, but I will once I Ketch-Up :)

   This morning I am legit (as opposed to vacation) hungover, I had my dad's precinct retirement dinner last night and maybe possibly went slightly overboard on the wine.  I did not believe I drank too much last night, but my head is telling me otherwise right now.

   Here is a horrible quality photo of my outfit, it took me 4+ hours to figure out what I was wearing so I did not have time to do a full on- well lit photo shoot:



Aerie Cardigan
Free People Lace Top
J Crew Navy Blue Pin Stripe Shorts 
Target Navy Blue Pumps (These are similar)


       In other outfit news, I have no idea what I'm wearing for my Half on Sunday.  The forecast is high of 65, so I'm thinking mid 50's in the morning hours, pretty ideal :)  Maybeee I'll have a pre-race attire post tomorrow, maybe.


Randomosity:
~Someone just found my blog through the search term "bikini avocado," semi amusing. . . to me at least :D


~I actually lost weight in Disney. . . it just took a few days for the 3 loaded plates of salad I had at the Crystal Palace Buffet on Monday to digest. (If I was a good blogger I'd have some pics of those, the edamame salad I could eat everyday for the rest of my life)


I just googled it, here is a pic and a recipe:

Edamame Salad (From Here) Yield: 4 to 6 servings 4 cups edamame (young soybeans), fresh or frozen 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar 1/4 cup sesame oil 1 teaspoon coarse salt 1 cup chopped Napa cabbage 1/2 cup chopped bok choy 1/2 cup shredded carrots 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds 1/4 cup shredded white daikon radish 1. Cook fresh or frozen beans in boiling, salted water for 3 minutes. Chill thoroughly. 2. In a small miximg bowl, combine vinegar, sesame oil, salt, cabbage and bok choy. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Cabbage will wilt slightly. 3. Mix in carrots, then refrigerate for 1 hour. 4. To serve, to with sesame seeds and daikon radish.

Make Up II All about ' Tres Vichy'

To play coy and having and understated kind of sexuality was the epitome of who Lolita was.

And for Spring 2011 Make Up For Ever came up with 'Tres Vichy', a tribute to the famous 60's bombshell Bridgitte Bardot. I would have to say her look came of as a bit of a sex kitten and at the same time exuding a very classic look. And that look has stayed a favorite for many up to the present times.


What does 'Tres Vichy' mean? It actually means 'very gingham' and has a look of being very girly and chic.

The line is just that- sexy and refreshing- perfect for the warm summer days.

There are three features that are highlighted with the products- the eyes , the eyelashes and the cheeks.


Retail Price: TBD


The Star Powder Diamond shimmers and the sheer tint blends with the eye shadows creating a mesmerizing sheen on your lids. You can apply this not only on your face, but as a body shimmer on your body. They are in four yummy sorbet like shades that will brighten up your look for the coming warm months.

Colors Available are in Crystal White, Sweet Pink, Peach Pink and Pale Green.


Retail Price: TBD



There is also the Tres Vichy Palette which is useful, portable and absolutely adorable when it comes to adding more oomph to a fresh summer look. Its comes with an embedded mirror and has the pink and white gingham pattern as the casing design. It has come with the Crystal Diamond Eye Color #301 and Crystal Diamond Cheek Color #303.


Retail Price: $ 15 / PHP 650


The Très Vichy Faux Lash is one of the highlights of the collection as it contributes to a whimsical fantasy of women. They have one of the most unique accessories-- pink gingham bows attached to the lashed. It is an interesting twist on the pin-up look that was very popular during the time. I suppose wearing it would be like the cherry on top the whole look. If you love experimenting with looks, try this adorable pair.



I think the whole collection is enough to create a decent look. And for me, as a customer, I find that it was easy to grasp the collection since there weren't too many products distracting me left and right. Each of the products highlighted different key features and they all work well with one another that the money you spend on it definitely doesn't go to waste.

You wake up, go to school or work, and then go about your usual daily routine.  But have you ever thought about what is happening in another person's life who lives halfway around the globe?


On July 24, 2010, thousands of people around the world uploaded videos of their lives to YouTube to take part in “Life in a Day”, a historic cinematic experiment to create a documentary film about a single day on earth. Since then, Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald and a team of editors have whittled down over 80,000 clips (and more than 4500 hours of footage) into a 90-minute film that gives an honest and inspiring glimpse of our world. So what would your video clip be depicting your life in a day?

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the site Refinery 29. It is an American lifestyle and fashion news report covering everything from beauty trends, new stores, and odd little tid bits happening from coast to coast. As one of my favorite sites to peruse while online surfing, I was immediately excited that they started including a special section on what's happening in San Francisco. Refinery 29 San Francisco launched on April 18 and has been featuring stories on hill-friendly heels and a few favorite SF eateries from local chefs, yum! Can't wait to explore all new stores and sites they feature on the Bay!

PRINTS AND STRIPES: FASHION + INTERIOR DESIGN

Two trends that I've been noticing during my daily peruse of both fashion and interior design blogs are bold prints and black and white stripes.  I'm loving both of them, especially considering their appropriateness for Spring!
Whether it's a tribal print or a geometric pattern, these punchy textiles are bold and add flair to any outfit or interior space. Plus, mixing prints and patterns can look chic as well! The trick to doing this is to stick to a basic color scheme and keep the prints grounded with neutral accessories (or furniture!). Proenza Schouler, known for mixing patterns, serves as a good inspiration for how to do it well, and Madewell makes good patterned pieces that can either be worn alone or with other separates. I can't wait to pair my florals and stripes! Tastefully of course.













Black and white stripes have always been chic. A simple striped shirt is extremely versatile and can serve as a wardrobe staple for countless seasons. Black and white furniture and walls, on the other hand, are a little more complicated to pull off. They're dramatic and loud, serving as the centerpiece of the room or space. Thus all other furniture and textiles should be kept simple and neutral-colored.

MICHAEL KORS IPHONE CASE

Hate having to carry that big technology block called the iPhone in one hand and your wallet in the other?  Or dragging your purse around the dance floor?  Well now, there's a solution for that.  Michael Kors, renowned fashion designer and judge on Project Runway, recently released this totally cute iphone clutch/wristlet.  The wristlet fits both Verizon ( iPhone 4) and AT&T iPhone 4, 3GS, and 3G designs.  The idea of a multi-functional wristlet is brilliant!  Not only is it chic and classic, but it also makes going out a lot easier.  The clutch has 3 credit card or ID slots and a slot specifically made to fit your phone.  The clutch comes in 3 designs and retails for $79.99.  My personal favorite is the python print design. Here are a few photos for you to decide if you love it or hate it!

PICNIC DAY: TIE-DYE

Where can you milk a cow, go through a lazar maze, listen to a battle of marching bands, enter your dog in a doxie derby race, watch a bike parade, fashion show and chemistry magic show all in one day? At the infamous UC Davis Picnic Day! This is the largest student run event in the nation and has been celebrated on campus for over 100 years.


With a fantastic team of student planners, volunteers and faculty, the Division of Textiles and Clothing participated in Picnic Day by successfully running tie-dye tables and selling over 670 t-shirts!


Preparation Day- Students painted posters and prepared the dyes.







Day of the Event- Enthusiastic volunteers advertised the event to people walking along the campus street, helped at the t-shirt stop, assisted customers with rubber-banding and dyeing their shirts, and spent time cleaning up after the event





 



Special thanks to Samantha Weinmen, Luis Legaspi, Van Nguyen, Joan Chandler, and Andrew Jackura who put extra efforts into making this event such a hit!
