Picture taken with my Lomo Diana+

I haven't been updating much, but I decided I might as post picture, art, etc. that inspire me.

The reason I purchased the Diana+ was to take "dreamy" soft pictures, here the model is my boyfriend! ;)

Also as I had mentioned in posts before about changing my lifestyle to a healthier one, so far i've been successful! I've lost 11.8 pounds without depriving myself at all, feels good when you have control over your life!

esa si

Well as some may have read from a past post I was on a mission to getting my self healthy, and I have news. So I have been doing good on my plan, and yes I did join weight watchers and started moving more. So far I have lost 7.4 pounds in 3 weeks! And there is no depriving myself, with weight watchers Im keeping track of what I eat, but it is not a diet of any sort.

More news..
I got an internship as a fashion writer for a local magazine, and I am so excited!
=)
I was inspired by the artist on my last post and by so many beautiful illustrations I have seen that I am working on a project, which should be done in a few days.

Here is my looklet today, I wanted to make her look like a bad girl, I think the sunglasses and backround really achieve that bad girl status, plus the daring outfit (Pantie).

Sporty Jacket, girly outfit

I was inspired by this Lela Rose spring 2010 runway look, and created my own version of it! I work at forever21 and I loved that vilolet jacket once I saw it! The sporty hunter jackets are perfect with girly pieces, In this case the skinny belt would be wrapped around over the jacket and dress!
I got today off of work, I am kind of glad especially because it has been raining! Two days ago I was driving in the freeway when a red car in the left lane next to me skidded and did a complete 180! It was scary to watch, I want the storm to be over! It is sooo dangerous!

Yesterday was my first day of school :) I love my merchandising class, I know it will be a great learning experience and fun! My instructor is Korean and also teaches at the art institutes where she is head of the fashion department, she started working as a buyer in Escada and helped launched stores in Asia, but then she moved here and had other jobs in the industry.

Tomorrow I have 2 more classes which are fashion history and fashion show production, which we get to put together a fashion show in may! :)

stay safe everyone

trail ride

This is the only outfit picture I took this week for work, most of these come out without shoes cause I usually don't put them on until I'm about to leave..especially cause my mom yells at me if I'm all over my room with shoes on! I would really love to have a tile or wooden floor!

So on Monday I went to my local walmart to pick up my gazelle! It was a bit confusing to put it together at first but i got the hang of it! And I also ended up cutting my finger on a raw metal edge, and as i found out today I also had a splinter, and it was a piece of metal from my gazelle!

I quickly went on just to take a snapshot! I have read really good reviews which was also a reason that led me to buy it! look how quickly my legs where moving!
I didn't expect for it to come with a timer, distance monitor and calories burnt, but its great!


well here is my looket, i was inspired this week by what I did at work. I helped merchandise a zone for floorsets and our zone was a trail ride, think of "Legends of the Fall" and "Little house on the Praire"
Next week I start school! I can't wait to start, yes I am excited especially because im starting at a new college!

Updateees

I have been meaning to upload these, so now they are kind of old, they were all taken before i left to work, this last one was on black friday...which was my craziest schedule ever i worked at my first job 12am to 7am and my second job from 10am to 6pm.

two retail jobs during holiday season sucks so much, i had very little sleep and felt horrible working up to 16 hours in a day!!

SO school is starting in 2 weeks, I am excited! Im trying to get a merchandising position at my job, which is forever 21, so hopefully I can work as a visual!!

Here is my looklet for today:

I am starting to save so that by spring break I can go vacation in mexico. I really miss the beaches over there and the bars and clubs!


So in order for me to look my best I bought an exercise equipment, im pretty sure we all remember tony littles infomercials on the gazelle!



I bought it for $80 at walmart.com along with free site to store shipping! I love the idea of watching tv and beining on this machine, I already watch tv, so I might as well excercise while watching it. Plus I can be more motivated instead of having to get ready to go for the gym or charging my ipod to go running, i can just walking into my living room hope on the gazelle and watch tv!

I am also planning on joining weight watchers this week, I read about it and the POINTS plan sounds good and great for when you want to have more control on what you are taking in. I will definitly be updating about everything, my first meeting is this thursday and hopefully by next week I will have my gazelle!
