New Beginnings

I haven't posted up in a long time. I have been working two jobs and doing side jobs and it has taken up a lot of my time. Since then I have purchased a new camera which has helped me do other things, it is an investment. My blog is getting a new makeover and I'm working on my website, please stay tuned. I hope everyone is well, summer is almost over and Christmas is right around the corner, save yor pennies. School starts next week! Peace

Exciting Happenings

This past weekend I spent it in San Diego. I attended Comic Con on Saturday. I got three Emily The Strange comic books signed by the artists and writer, which I was really excited about. They also drew in my boyfriend's sketchbook which I took pictures of.
Tokidoki had a booth and the creator was there whose name is Simone. Unfortunately I got there too late and wasn't able to get tickets for his signing. I did manage to get a couple pictures of him. I wasn't able to go Sunday, but my boyfriend did go and I asked him to get my Tokidoki purse signed and he did! The artist signed and sketched the inside of my purse! I also went to a costume designers forum which was really interesting. Some of the designers worked on movies like The Matrix, and upcoming movies like the new Terminator movie and the Watchmen. I spoke to one of them afterwards and asked for some advice.
I took a few pictures of people dressed up as their favorite characters, Comic Con is like Halloween. In my past post I had mentioned I entered a contest and I won the logo contest! I'm so happy, it was a collaboration between my boyfriend and I. My logo is going to be on merchandise! Yeah.
I got more news, I got a gig as a writer on bellydancingdiva.com. It's a new site, but you should check it out for my upcoming articles.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Thift Shopping

Hi. Sorry I haven't posted lately. I try to post at least once a week. Over the July 4th weekend I spent it with my boyfriend in Hemet California near Temecula. We went out to eat a couple of times, watched movies, TV, played some XBox, and Jenga that I lost a few times! We also drew. I'm going to enter a logo contest for a meetup I joined. I found it through meetup.com. I joined the OC Belly Dance Meetup. The organizer is having a logo contest and whoever wins their logo becomes the official logo that will be used for merchandise. Give me good luck, I have a few more days till I enter. I just got back home from Hemet and over the past two days I went thift shopping. It was extremely hot there and once I went home it was the same. I bought three items that I'm really excited about. I can't wait till I wear them. I bought a black blouse, a beaded skirt that can also be worn as a coverup, and a blue velvet vest. Here are some pictures along with the pricing and my trip to downtom Hemet.










The shoes and the purse were a perfect match. It looked really nice inside. Too bad this store closes Mondays, be back.













Blouse: Zara $4.99




Skirt: Unknown label $4.99




Look at the detail in the skirt, good job to whoever made it.




Vest: Front, unknown label, maybe made in the middle east somewhere, $4.31




Vest: Back




It was time for me to go back home.

Crafty Weekend

I hope some of you are having better weather. This past week has been so hot! I get lazy sometimes when it's hot, but I did do some stuff regardless of the weather. This past weekend I spent it making arts and crafts. I went to Jo-Ann's and I bought a rotary cutter, I like to use a rotary cutter better then scissors. They had a sale over the weekend. My sister has a toy poodle so I made this bikini suit for her dog, I hope it fits. My first attempt at toy dog clothes and it came out pretty good. I also had a button I think I bought last month which I wanted to use for a costume, I didn't like the way it looked so I bought the same button again to have two and I turned them into earrings. Tell me what you think of each piece. I hope everyone is staying fresh this summer cause it's going to be extremely hot this time of year : )

My Style Icon of the Year

I've decided that each year I will be choosing a style icon and throughout the year I will make posts based on their personal style. This year the Be Stylin' award goes to Dita Von Teese. She is my favorite international style icon. I like her style because she styles herself, does her own makeup and does her own hair. She does not have a beauty team! Her personal stlye is inspired by old hollywood moviestars and the pin-up girl style. I've been inspired by old hollywood because I think that's when style was sexy without showing much. It was glamourous and classy. And that is what Dita Von Teese is, sexy, classy, and she carries herself so well.
