A Little Late

January 5, 2009 by Brigitte

So I’m certainly a little late in saying it on my blog, but Happy New Year to you all!

Definitely a lot has happened since I last blogged. And I’ve also done some shopping since then, too.

At Guess, for 50% off I got Felidia ankle boots, in black. They’re sort of angled really awkwardly so I don’t suggest walking anywhere in these. If you’re going to walk a few steps and then sit down and look pretty, these are the shoes for you! Of course I wear a size 5 so wearing heels is harder for me than it is for Tyra Banks and her size 11 feet. They sure do look fierce though! 3.5 inch heels.

A new favorite online store of mine, Lulus.com, has some fabulous purses and really cute clothing! I fell in love with two handbags immediately, but to get free shipping I needed to spend a little bit more so I also got this dress called the “Dinner and a Movie Mini Dress”. Being as short as I am (5 ft) I seriously doubt the dress will look that short on me. I love V-neck and square cut tops/dresses and this just seems perfect!

This item is no longer available! ($21.50)

Stephanie Cable Knitted Sweater Bag in Cream ($39.50) This item is no longer available!

It seems Lulus only stocks a relatively small quantity of an item and then they replace it with newer items all the time so if you see something you like I suggest buy it as soon as possible! (:

Then as I was looking around online I also stumbled across Asos.com, which is definitely a bit pricier, but still really amazing! They’re based in the UK so shipping takes a while but their selection is really great! You can always look around to see what’s on sale (which is what I did!)

ASOS ‘Velvet Feel’ 80 Denier Opaque Black Tights ($7.35) Tights are really in right now, to wear with dresses, shorts, skirts! I can’t wait to wear them… I’m sure I’ll feel warmer, too! I want to try these on with my wardrobe first before I go buying bright colors.

ASOSPETITESweatDress.jpg
ASOS PETITE Sweat Dress ($36.71) I just thought this was the cutest thing!! I am really excited to wear this (with my new black tights, too~)

To update on the Kira Plastinina things I ordered… the shoes, which only come in half sizes was labeled 5.5 but ugh… they fit more like a 6 or even a 6.5 and so I gave them to my aunt. So perhaps order a size smaller if you want to get her shoes but despite them being too big they were the CUTEST most comfy 4 inch high heeled shoes everrr~

I’ve also done some shopping at Forever 21 and American Eagle recently but it’s too much to look online and get all the items here. I’ve already gone picture crazy!!

My family celebrated on New Year’s Eve by waiting until midnight and then we all watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (thanks to “TomFlix”) and unfortunately we didn’t know it was nearly 3 hrs long! But we endured until about 4am to watch. Oh and my Aunt Elvia gave us all money, too! (: I got $1000~! Haaay! But I have to save it for rent money… ugh, what a drag.

Then when we woke up on the 1st my mother, brother, aunt, and I went to Las Vegas! So we spent our New Year celebrating there and we stayed until Saturday morning, by which time we had to go back to celebrate my little cousin’s 12th birthday. (:

On Sunday, Sandy and I got back to Santa Barbara. School starts tomorrow technically, but I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays!!! (: Yay for the bomb schedule!!! And lol… I’m going back on Thursday night because I’ll be going to see Wicked on Saturday. Ahhh traveling is so hectic and not fun.

Oh yes…! And I surpassed my goal of watching 150 Movies in 2008 by watching 179 movies! It was part of a challenge at Pour-soi.net and I got this nice little gift:

I’m thinking of doing the challenge again this year and also the 12 books in 2009 challenge. I’m very dedicated to reading right now so I’m going to take that motivation and run with it!!! ^_^ My goals for tomorrow are to finish reading Eclipse and purchase all my school textbooks for Winter Quarter.

2 am?! Goodnight all!

Recurring Theme

November 19, 2008 by Brigitte

Heeeey! So yannoe… it’s pretty “in” this time of year to feel shitty. Let’s be real – that doesn’t make me feel any better. But at least we can all commiserate with one another! Most everyone I’m asking feels kinda down, not gonna lie.

Though yesterday wasn’t so bad. Breathe. All it takes is a little avoidance. Not necessarily the best coping method but whatever works right? Plus I watched Fringe and 90210! And today I caught up on yesterday and last week’s eps of Privileged. Nothing like a *little* bit of mindless TV to help out the soul right?

My absolutely wonderful Teekwidca has been helping me get through these days of depression, too. We have this great friendship chemistry. This December we’ll have been friends for 4 years (and we’re still close)! Admittedly there was a small bump in the road where I did the usual bullshit “let’s NOT be friends” but we get past things pretty easily. Thank goodness! I need someone, that, when pushed away, will push back. -_-; I think that’s what I really secretly want. *shrugs*

It also helped talking about some o’ my problems with both Elizabeth and Teekwidca. Talking actually helps… who would have thought!

Book I’m reading now: Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata! I really loved Beauty and Sadness by him when I read it in 10th grade. (: I’m determined to accomplish my goal of reading 12 books this year. Thus far I’ve only read 8, and now I’m on my 9th (I’m not counting Metamorphosis as a novel I read since that’s a short story, even though it’s in my Now Reading library).

*a few hours later*

Well… this entry was started at about 1pm. It’s 6pm now. Attended classes. Went to Starbucks to read. Then to Borders to read. I needed some alone time somewhere beside my apartment (which gets me moar depressed btw) just to clear my head. Unfortunately, it led to more thinking and some pretty emo introspective thought. Total FAIL. -_-; Ahhh *shrugs* I seriously feel like going out for a run or something.

Geez, I’m definitely very Bri Bear… I hibernate during this time of year. Sleep to let the bad times pass. Sleeeeep is the only answer. *sigh* I haven’t even been able to eat much lately either. Lyfe sux. Kbai. I go die nao. ^_^;

Back from LV

October 20, 2008 by Brigitte

Just sort of mini-updating… I am back from Las Vegas, but still in Downey… so not yet back in SB. I had a toooon o’ fun this weekend. (: Not sure I’m ready to tackle the pile of homework waiting for me when I get back to school. Blah.

There isn’t much to say… except that I am most definitely tired!

(As a side note: Wrote an extremely awesome post on my iPhone with the Wordpress app but I accidentally saved it as a local draft and my local drafts folder shows empty… stupid app bugs *sigh*)

Ooooh… I completed my 150 Movies in 2008 sometime this weekend!!! (: Yaaaay~ Movie I’d recommend everyone from this year thus far: THE FALL.

Just Dance!

September 13, 2008 by Brigitte

I need to acquire Lady Gaga’s CD. If I’m not mistaken I think she performed on SYTYCD but didn’t pay much attention. Only until I read a comment on ONTD on FFAF about how awesome her CD is did I give some of the songs a listen. And it’s catchy~ Anything that makes me dance (alright, that’s pretty much everything *rolls eyes* but still) I love. Lmao, shows how much of an influence the stupid site is to me. Hahaha… I love ONTD.

My abs are sore from doing pushups… Idgi. And pectorals, too, of course. *sigh* I feel so weak atm! Ugh!

Friday, I slept for a total of 15 hrs. CUHRAZY. From 1am to 3pm and then 8:30 to 9:30pm. ACKK.

This photo is too endearing. My current fave celeb couple:

SamRo and Lilo. Toooo cute. I need me a SamRo in my life. Now, I don’t know if Lilo is really a lesbian or just yannoe in love with Samantha. They’re too cute together and I get the feeling Sam just *gets* Lindsay. Why can’t I find myself a Samantha? D; Lolol~ (but no I’m forreal…)

Omg, lately I’ve been a lot more ~lesbian~ than usual. Hahahahaha… *blushes*

Einhundert

September 11, 2008 by Brigitte

Known for my love of pushups, I have decided to take the 100 Pushup Challenge. Quite randomly Edgar decided to tell me about this challenge that he started up on Tuesday and I have joined him, starting today. It will take approximately six weeks, but by the end of it I should (hopefully) be able to do one hundred consecutive push-ups. It sounds like a dream come true, right? Just thinking about it makes me happy inside. *giggles* I’m eager to get started on this.

Admittedly, my core body strength is probably at an all-time low given how many push-ups I did during the initial test. Uhm, that number will remain confidential because otherwise I’ll feel endless shame. I take this sort of stuff seriously. I’ve done my pushups for today. I think this first week I’m going to do them on consecutive days so that I don’t throw off my weeks by splitting them in half (because I’m starting on a Thursday and you should do it every other day).

Today is my mother’s 38th birthday. Considering I’m 19, she’s still pretty darn young. I love that about her, though. I actually got to experience the years of my mother’s youth. I saw her youthful beauty, got to see her live her life, and we actually got to do stuff. I mean parents that are currently about 50 something had their children in their 30s and well by that age, you’re just sort of tired and done having fun or somethin’.

So, I’ve been making it a point to watch TV. Hah… So, I’m watching 90210, ANTM, (maybe Privileged), Fringe, and (maybe) True Blood. Thank goodness for DVR! I can’t watch them all at the same time yannoe. And usually I’m busy at night exercising and stuff so it’s good to come back and watch those shows while you’re dripping in sweat. Well okay so I don’t sweat that intensely, but it feels better sitting down in front of the TV ~after~ working out. Makes it feel less unhealthy. (:

New task: I need to learn to be happy for others without thinking how it affects me.
