How does the Forever 21 store in your city look like?
A Shopaholic's Dream come true!
Forever 21 has finally opened its doors here at Plaza las Americas, the biggest mall on the island! It's the only store they have around here and believe me it's a dream! Asking one of the employees I found out that this store is actually the chain's 3rd largest store and has more than 300 employees! It's 2 whole floors of fashion goodness, truly the place is incredible.

How does the Forever 21 store in your city look like?An afternoon under the sun
Summer blesses us with the most beautiful sunsets. These last days of freedom, nights under the stars and cookie dough ice cream will always be remembered dearly. Some of my high school friends and I got together to celebrate the Summer sun, after around a few years of separation.

Don't try hard being someone you're not...
I was tagged by my little sister Louie from Louie in Wonderland! It's a tad funny when you get tagged by your sister or any close relative, they usually know you well enough and when you start writing your post they're like "oh, I knew you were going to write/say that". So, thanks Lou for tagging your annoying sis. =)
1. What is your favorite item of clothing?
If there is a a piece of clothing I cannot live without it's my Vintage fringe boots. Jackets and vests are a close second, I always must have something to help me pull an outfit together and jackets and vests are the perfect garments.
2. What are your biggest obsessions?
My biggest obsessions are singing and music and having everything under control. I'm a tad of a control freak, I sometimes feel as if everyone and everything in the universe counts on me having all under control and perspective. Lol, and I sing too much for my own good sometimes! I wonder how my family bears with me?
3. Who inspires you?
I think everyone I meet inspires me in one way or another. I don't have any specific idols (except when singing, I adore Amy Lee's voice and I so try to sing like her) that inspire me. I believe that every person that crosses my path has something to share with me, either an experience, a trait anything can impulse me into being a better person in every aspect of my life.
4. Who is your favorite designer and why?
I must say Luella is my all time favorite designer. She is fresh, cool, has a great personality and designs from the heart.
5. What is your favorite song ever?
If there is a song I'd listen to forever and ever until the end of time it would be Hello by Evanescence. The song is truly enchanting and there is sorrowful feeling to it that I've never heard in a song before.
6. What is your favorite song right now?
Umm, recently I've been really into Dream Theater and Within Temptation, so I must say that my fave songs right now are Endless Sacrifice (dream theater) and Angels (within temptation).
7. If you were a sweetie what would you be?
Lol, I'm assuming a sweetie is some sort of candy so I'll say I'm a gummy bear!
8. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet- what words would describe your rainbow?
Wild Cherries, Pink Lemonade, Ebony Black, Lemony Yellow, Forest Green, Blue sky and Plum Purple!
9. What's your favorite film?
My fave film of all time is The Secret Life of Bees, I really enjoy Dakota Fanning's acting. A close second is Doubt. I believe that movie was so beautifully made!
10. Who's your favourite actor?
Anne Hathaway, Dakota Fanning, Meryl Streep and Robin Williams!
11. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
I'd be in London! Yes, I am quite obsessed with the city.
12. What are your 3 favourite smells?
Vanilla, Cinnamon and Spices.
13. What are your 3 favourite tastes?
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream from Ben & Jerry's, Dark Chocolate and Alfredo Sauce!
14. What is your most treasured possession?
My electric guitar (I'd die without it), my song lyric notebook, my cell phone and my teddy bear.
15. What did you always want to be/ do when you grew up?
I wanted to be so many things! I wanted to be a musician, architect, fashion designer, journalist, writer and photographer.
16. If you were an ice-cream what flavor would you be?
I'd definitely be Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream.
17. If someone made a short film of your life, who would play you?
I'd want Anne Hathaway to play me. Her role in the Princess Diaries is so much like me, especially the hair, lol.
18. What would your perfect afternoon consist of?
It should start in Old San Juan, playing some guitar and singing with friends, a sweet sea breeze blowing and a lovely sunset. Maybe head for a bite at someplace nice later on and hang around the pier taking pictures.
19. If you were a flower, what would you be?
A white rose, that's my fave flower.
20. Tell me a random thing....be it your favorite line from a song, scene from a movie or quote from a book.....tell me about something that you love.....
My fave quote of all time is a saying that Albert Einstein once said: "Imagination is greater than knowledge".

I admire the stars from afar
There is an incredible link between fashion and music and we've all been witnesses of how music stars use fashion to create a statement regarding thier musical styles and and the image they want to be related with. If you see lots of color and modern looks you usually relate it to pop music. Dark, goth styles and mysterious costumes are rapidly linked to rock bands and so forth.
So, will music and fashion ever be apart from one another? I don't think so. =) *btw, I'm super excited! I was admitted to the music college I applied to, yay me!! Lol, I had to share that with you all! ;D

Business Attire is my Worst Enemy and Math is my Friend...
The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple. ~S. Gudder
I believe in the theory that states that business-like clothes were put on this Earth to make me suffer and live in grief and frustration. Today I went to a ton of different stores to find something businessy and appropriate for this reunion I was forced to go to and found myself hopping around from shop to shop trying my best to find something that would go with my body type and that would please my boss (since she believes I have no sense of style whatsoever). I ended up with plain black pants, a white blouse with a black cardigan, though a few minutes later I get a phone call telling me that I was re-assigned to a booth and my dress code changed from business to a polo and khaki pants -off to the customer service line. Btw, just in case you all were wondering I work as a math teacher but at times the director believes she is CEO to a huge company and not a tutoring center. =/

Take an umbrella, It's gonna rain...
"Anyone that says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain" ~Anonymous
Ancient umbrellas or parasols were used to provide shade from the strong sun. Later on the Chinese decided to waterproof them, adding wax to their paper parasols.

Why must real beauty be portrayed as unnatural and imperfect?
I personally think they look lovely in their un-photoshopped pics.

Images of Spring in Japan have been occupying my mind lately, the heat has finally made me wish Summer was over. I've always been fascinated by how beautiful Cherry Blossoms look when blooming, and the feeling of majesty they project. Also, Japanese traditional clothes have always drawn my attention, I want a kimono so badly!*pics are all linked to their source*
