Girl Crush: Shay Mitchell

I will be going to the Gay Pride celebration in San Francisco this weekend so I figured I could share with all of you one of my girl crushes of the moment:

This is Shay Mitchell.  She plays the lesbian character, Emily, in ABC Family's show Pretty Little Liars. She is beyond beautiful- to the point where in my eyes she is flawless- so check her out and see for yourself.

Pictures found on Tumblr

I know I'm in your head.

This girl needs to come out with another album! Can her and Drake make a song together pleeez? SOON. Thanks.

Book Review: The Gospel According to Coco Chanel

Hello friends! It's summer so expect many book reviews! The first of many is The Gospel According to Coco Chanel by Karen Karbo.

This book seemed promising but it actually was very disappointing.  While I do appreciate a little Chanel history, this book is all about Coco's life mixed in with the author's own life story.  Karbo notes some of Chanel's major contributions to modern fashion but also has many tidbits of useless information.  I did not learn anything that I did not already know.  However, it was well written and did keep my attention for about half the book.  So, if this is the kind of book that interests you, you should still check it out.

The Day Has Come! Today I graduate!!!!

Here is a picture of my cap. It says "Italy here i come!" I figured that it was appropriate since my next adventure will be in Italy. I am so happy that this day has come. I worked really hard to get here. Still, I wouldn't have made it without all the support I get from my family and friends. I love you all very much. I did this for me, but I also did this to not dissapoint all those who cheer me on on the daily! :)

Class of 2011 at the University of California, Davis and PROUD!!!

So we are history, your shadow covers, the sky above, a blaze only lovers see

You know that thing that I am horrible at? I did it. Got rid of that clutter in my life. That extra baggage in my life.  That memory space on my phone. It feels great. :)

I should be writing my English paper BUT...

ALERT:

THANKS, THAT IS ALL.

The Real Princessmia45 :)

What's In The Bag? Part 2: Being called out

So my bestie Adrian pointed out the other day that what i posted on my "What's in the bag?" post does not truly portray everything that I carry around. Yes, it is true, I carry waaay more stuff. He went on even further by pointing out that I read Lolita in like December - or February.  So, fine!! The books and magazines have been updated to show what I am currently reading. I have also added the extras I omitted in my last posts. So this is as authentic as I can make it. Of course, receipts, change, and other miscellaneous items have been left out. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that I don't always carry all of these items at the same time.

* Pocket Planner

* Green Tea bags from Trader Joe's

* Car Keys

*Cell Phone

* Hair ties

* Lipstick, Lip gloss & Lip balm

* Wallet
