Ahh...

I stole this from something old, something new; but I adore them especially the middle one! They are by Reem Acra!

This is my other favorite dress, totally grace kelly.

My quest to be gracious...

I've recently decided that it's high time I grew up. So I'm on a quest to better myself, and become fully independent! I'm really quite immature so if any of you can offer advice, it would be welcome. I'm going for an Audrey-esq type of appeal! Maybe if I cut off my long hair in favor of this short mod look?

My thoughts...

Here's what I thought people were saying about me at:

Age 13: "Looks like that Whitney girl finally got a Tommy Hilfiger shirt, too bad it's all about Abercrombie and Fitch now. Jeez, that girl just can't keep up with the fashion, can she? I kinda feel sorry for her, she must be mortified."

Age 15: "She finally got contacts. It's about time, glasses are so junior high. She probably has really neglectful parents. I know, don't they care how her classmates see her! I mean, really! She probably had to beg them to let her."

Age 17: "That girl didn't talk to anybody while she walked down the hallway, she must be really cool and popular to be able to not talk to anybody. She didn't even say hi when we passed. I bet she's a way amazing person."

Age 21: "Look at that girl, she is really dressed up. I bet she has a really, really important job. I mean look at her jewelry, she looks like she makes a lot of money. I can't believe that she is still going to school as well, she must be a very dedicated person. To have a great job and go to school at the same time."

i love the smell of: my Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue perfume. It's the only perfume I've ever had that I just can't seem to get enough of. I continually just smell myself. It's crisp, clean, and a little citrusy; but the undercurrent of spice is spectacular.



i love the sound of: Rain in a thunderstorm. I love the sound of millions of drops pounding against something. Especially at work, the roof is metal and it just magnifies the sound.



i love the taste of: mixing salsa, sour cream, and melted cheese and cramming as much as possible on a yellow corn chip! It's deliciously disgusting! One of my best friend's Natalie introduced me, it's basically a quesadilla on chips! Brown sugar and cinnamon pop-tarts.



i love the sight of: my baby brother Jared when he's laughing! It's the only time his smile looks completely unrehearsed and genuine.


i love the feel of: Coming home. I commute to work so driving home is an arduous task, what with rush hour traffic, the heat, and driving a stick shift isn't very pleasant in stop n' go traffic!

October is going to rock!

My two favorite bands both have new cd's coming out in October! Jimmy Eat World has Chase This Light and Dashboard Confessional has The Shade of Poison Trees.

UHG.

I'm moving yet again! All because my silly sister decided to get married! I'm excited about that part. Just not the moving!

hehe...

I went a little crazy at nordstrom and bought the Anna Beck earings I've wanted for so long. I didn't stop there. I also got the matching ring and necklace, 3 different nail polishes, 2 headbands, and a pretty pearl hair clip! Somebody help!

Really?

Not only am I annoyed that the only thing on the news today is how terrible Britney Spears performance at the VMA's was. Now I actually have to defend her. Nobody is a bigger non-fan than myself, but to call her fat seems cruel. Despite the nasty weave, Britney's body is actually quite fit. Is she where she was 4 years ago? No, but since when did a size 6 make sombody fat! I hope I look like Britney after two kids and a divorce!

Mi Encanta...

I love the oil and oil burners from the body shop. Especially if you have roomates who cook the most disgusting food! Satsuma is the number one seller but they have many differnt scents for everyone!

Make your eyes pop!

You should never do your eyeshadow the same color as your eyes if you want them to stand out! This looks perfect for me!

Emerald shadow

How to do it

For a rich, burnished effect, Dior international makeup adviser Shane Paish first covered Angie Harmon's lids with bronze eye shadow from Guerlain's Ombre Eclat duo and liner kit ($50; at Neiman Marcus).

Then he traced her upper and lower lash lines with green shadow, smudging the bold hue so it blended seamlessly into the metallic brown at the crease. Adding extra definition, he lined her inner rims with black pencil.

"With such dramatic eyes, I didn't want the rest of the face to stand out," says Paish. So he chose a blush that was slightly darker than Harmon's skin and muted her lips with the palest beige lipstick and

I feel loved!
