kayaking with zebras
This past week and half have left me more busy than usual which, I love. I really enjoy having a full schedule and actually having things to do. Unfortunately they weren't really bloggable things. Pictures of the beach get a little redundant after a while. Beach & laker games were on a constant rotation all last week. Yesterday I finally had a day to rest and today I was right back up again, kayaking with some friends :)
Its when you really wanna wear something that you realize your closet doesn't suffice for your wardobe dreams. In hopes of going for a nautical themed outfit, I grabbed my khaki shorts and then realized I did not own a single piece of striped clothing. What?? Seriously. I think it was that old "horizontal stripes are unflattering" thing that kept me from buying them. But now I really want a blue and white nautical jacket. That would be nice. But I do still have love for my $10 zebra tank :)

my week in photos
This week I...
had amazing fried tempura green tea ice cream
had a car break down in my presence (twice! on different days!) I think I'm bad car luck.
grew a boyfriend
saw a doggie in the window
went to Downtown Disney (the perks of living in SoCal is that you can just waltz over to Disneyland whenever you want)
saw an amazing car
&& saw an even more amazing license plate
what did you do this week?

lets get HIGH&WAiSTED
This summer I'm craving some high waisted shorts. I'm kicking myself for returning a pair of $10 shorts from last fall that I could easily be wearing right now!
What do you want this summer that you don't have yet?

MTV Movie Awards 2010
This past weekend was the MTV movie awards. There was a lot of cute dresses - and a lot of disasters. In my opinion at least hahaha. Whenever I'm analyzing red carpet style I always seem to categorize the outfits. This year, it was: Gimme that Dress, Eh: It's Nice, Your really Boring me, Please Take it Off, and WTF?!?
GIMME THAT DRESS!
I love the bright summer-y dresses that were on the red carpet this year. The colors were BRIGHT and it looked really good. From the lists that I saw most of these people made the best dressed list and with good reason.
1. Whitney Port (the city): I loved everything about this outfit, head to toe. Love the neon yellow splotches of color on the nude base and I really loved the design.
2. Victoria Justice (victorious): Not gonna lie, I've loved Victoria Justice ever since she was on Zoey 101 with Britney Spear's little sister. And not gonna lie again, I love victorious. Who cares if its on Nickelodeon? That show is hilarious. You know what else I love? Her outfit. Bright colors, nude shoes? Loves it.
3. Stephanie Pratt (the hills): I don't watch the hills so I don't really know too much about her but I do know that I thought she was THE BEST DRESSED OF THE NIGHT. How can you not like her dress? I love it, alot. It has neon colors and lace that wraps around and doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I think it works and I would steal it off of her if I had the chance.
4. Anna Kendrick (up in the air): Honestly I always mix this girl up with Ashley Greene from Twilight. And I was like wait, this girl isn't the one from Twilight....and then I looked it up and she IS in Twilight too, soo I'm really confused....but anyway her outfit was perfect. Summery, short, flirty. I really liked her shoes too.
5. Lilly Collins (the blind side): To be honest, I didn't know who she was either until I looked her up and then I found out she was the super pretty girl in the blind side. I didn't love her dress as much as the others because it's pretty simple but I put it on the list because it goes with the bright color theme and I would just like to say that I would love some nail polish in that color.
EH; IT'S NICE
This category is pretty much outfits that I liked but didn't absolutely love. There still dresses that I would want, but maybe not as much as the one's in the category above. While in the "gimme that dress" category I think the dress made the person, in this category I think the people made the outfit.
1. Julianne Hough (singer): Her dress was pretty and simple. I loved the cutout detail but I really really love the bag which is probably why I put it on this list.
2. Amber Landcaster (the hard times of RJ Berger): I don't know who this girl but she is gorgeous. I'm pretty sure she could be wearing anything and make it work, which is why she's in this category. I really do like this dress though, it's actually something that I could see someone wearing in everyday life.
3. Scarlett Johansson (iron man 2): I love scarlett, she's soo pretty and she has the best curves. I like the color of the dress and she looks fine but something felt missing for me, maybe it was the way the dress hung, I don't think it was the most flattering dress or maybe it's her akward posing? I don't know
4. Paris Hilton (famous for being famous): I really don't like Paris, I don't even know why she's still relevant and her voice annoys me but I honestly do like this dress. I like how she can have the whole feather thing going on and not go completely over board with it.
5. Kristen Steward (twilight): Ok, I like this...but I probably wouldn't wear it. Let's just be honest she's only on this list because everything she usually wears is crap and I feel like this is a vast improvement. Plus her hair is.... in a ponytail? Which I like alot better then her short/boyish look
YOUR REALLY BORING ME
This category is pretty much outfits that I thought were just uneventful. You might not agree with me, but I was just really bored with these outfits for some reason.
1. Shailene Woodley (secret life of the american teenager): I thought her dress was really boring, the only thing I liked was her hair. Following the side braid trend, she had a messy fish tail braid, which if you read my blog you know I wear fish tail braid's all the time.
2. Adriana Patridge (the hills): I don't like her. I don't like her shoes. I also didn't really like her half shoulder/half tank top thing.
3. Eva Mendes (hitch?): I don't really know what she' sbeen in recently, but I like her. I like the design and color of her dress but the whole thing together bored me. I think it's her hair, her hair makes me want to fall asleep.
4. Vanessa Hudgens (high school musical): I LOOVE vanessa. I think she's so gorgeous and I usually love everything she wears. I just think I've seen this type of dress on her before. She always goes for the short flirty dresses, which I usually love but honestly, she just bored me.
5. Nikki Reed (twilight): This dress don't look like something for the red carpet. I don't like it. At All.
PLEASE TAKE THAT OFF
These dresses are one's that I thought were the worst on the red carpet. I'm not even gonna take the time to go over all of them individually because I hate them that much. Samantha Harris' hair is just way to big. Lauren Bosworth looks likes she's wearing a prom dress. I just hate everything related to the Jersey Shore so that's why that Angelina girl is on here. And the colors on Miranda Cosgrove's dress were not working out for me at all.
WTF?!
I find it kinda funny that this is the biggest category. I know the MTV awards are like the 'take risky choices' type instead of the fashion forward red carpet but man, I don't even have words for most of these outfits. Uh, I don't even wanna analyze all of these, and do they really need explaining? I think not

because cupcakes are delicious
My mom came home with cupcakes. So I came back with my camera. Summer has been really lacking this week - I don't think I've left my house in the past 4 days except to go to dance practice. I've been cooped up watching Friday Night Lights. Real good show.
What's your favorite cupcake flavor?

I NEED YOUR CLOSET - serena van der woodson
The Gossip Girl Season finale was a couple of weeks ago, but I just got caught up a couple of days ago. I remember watching the whole season and thinking, "Damn, I would kill to have that outfit!" whenever I saw Serena van der Woodson. Of course I would have to have Blake Lively's body for that, which is definitely not happening! Anyway, there are so many great Serena outfits I just wished I had thought of actually keeping a file for her outfits earlier, because now I can't remember where I saw what outfit hahaha.
One of my favorite things about Serena's wardobe is her formal wear. Her dresses are insane, and I wish I had more pictures. Another thing I like is that all her clothes are really form-fitting and they show off her figure. For some reason, I think I indetify with her closet more than Blair's. Everyone talks about how great Blair's clothes are, but I can't honestly see myself wearing any of her stuff in the real world. Maybe it's just me, but it's a little to prep school for my taste. Although you can't argue that she is the queen of headbands.
Which Gossip Girl character's closet do you want?

This past Memorial weekend I got a chance to got to UCLA's Jazz/Reggae Festival. I had a great time, and like most music festivals there was a ton of great stylish people there. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take everyone's picture but I did get to snap a few quick outfits from performers and festival goers. Here are a few pictures from my weekend :)
Have you guys been to any good music festivals yet this summer?
