when I grow up

Are you one of those people who will do everything and anything just to feed your hungry luxury? Or are you the type who could easily control and discipline own feelings of longing for something? This is very random I know but I am just floored and maybe desperately dreaming that one day I could buy a complete designer outfit in one special day. 

I am only a fashion observer. I see fashion from afar: watching Ultra HD on cable, buying some Harper's Bazaar magazine once in awhile and frequenting fashion smashion sites on the Internet. And these things I did only recently when I officially became thoroughly inspired with everything fashion. And only now did I realize how expensive these designer items are especially in a time when everyone feels like there is a recession. 

pair of boots, $1,115. I love this look but I can't afford it. LOL.

Would you wear a pair of boots for $1,115? It is really unbelievable how people throw away their discretionary funds like that. And when I think about it, now I really need to work. The satisfaction in this materialistic world doesn't come cheap.

I am dreaming. There is always something about labels. It sucks to be poor. LOL. But let's all just say, "One day, one day."

unnecessary

The two sunglasses I bought online arrived this afternoon and were miserably victimized. LOL.

scary and stupid

Which one's better? I like the black one.

I've been getting really hooked with street style blogs lately.

The fashion sense of these people are amazing and inspiring. Seeing the fashion savvy can't take my hands off shopping, online shopping that is. I feel eager whenever I get an e-mail telling me my order has been shipped. 

recent order from American Apparel

Currently, I am waiting for a shirt, two sunglasses and a hoodie all from Forever 21. I love Forever 21. They got nice pieces that are budget friendly so it's definitely a safe haven for shoppers like me! 

Meanwhile, I will be going back to school on Monday and actually, I'm not excited about it. I'd still be working on weekends and I am waiting for a response from the school job I applied for to see if I got another thing going on. If it won't work, my dad's friend recently opened an ice cream shop so I might squeeze myself in a little bit. The Starbucks thing might not happen until the end of October when I'm done with my fast food job.

So there. All work and school so far.

'90s

To be stuck in time, I'd pick the '90s era. Not because of its anti-fashion culture but because I was a kid then, free from any polluted idea and full of overwhelming innocence. 

HOT BOD for the summer! sorry, poor resolution. 

I loved being a kid. I wish any time traveling machine could bring me to that period in my life when I was just playing with my Sailormoon toys, Polly Pockets, Barbie dolls and kitchen sets. When I first entered school and immediately bonded with my wonderful classmates, sharing opinions on the very shallow thoughts on earth like what my favorite color is or "Who's your best friend?" conversations. Do you remember? By late '90s I began listening to Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and 'Nsync and was singing Tearin' Up My Heart in front of the TV and let's not forget Hanson's yummy MMMBop. (tick a ta ba do ba.. or something like that)

And yes, I loved TV as much as I do now. I watched All That, with segments of Goodburger and Dear Ashley as my favorites. Kenan & Kel was also a favorite and I clearly remember Kel's love for orange soda. Do you remember Summer Sanders? And the bunch of kids on Figure it Out and Global Guts? I remember we used to play Global Guts on Old School Nintendo and boy was I eager. Obviously, I lived and breathed Nick shows. But yea, I also became a fan of The Jetsons and The Flinstones (when they aired on Cartoon Network). The early times when I slept late were watching repeats of football head Hey Arnold and Aaaah! Real Monsters. 

I loved a lot of things then. The only thing I hated were mom jeans. 

But other than that, I love the '90s!

What else do you remember?
