Colors of Katy

First of all, I have to say that I just adore the cute and colorful Miss Katy Perry. I find her pop music fun and catchy, and her style just the same.

Here she's wearing the very same Jeremy Scott platform saddle shoes I was drooling over HERE.  :)

I started looking up all of her different hair colors over the years, and put together this little compilation:

From black to blue (wig), to red, pink, and her natural color (bottom far right), she has definitely experimented with many many colors. I have to say though, the blonde is my least favourite on the pretty pop singer. I think it washes her out, and is a bit too boring. Maybe if she threw in some black streaks through the fringe or something...?? -- or wore darker eyes and/or lips..?? It just doesn't look as good as some of the others. ps: do you like how I threw in her Kathy Beth look from Last Friday Night video..?? hahaa. Okay, you got me -- that's my all-time favourite Katy Perry look.  :)

"Aaaarghhhh, I thought so!"

Which one is your favourite?

This is still my mostest favourite-est look on Katy Perry: Jet black with the small bangs.

The famous blue wig...

And alter ego, Kathy Beth.  :)

My mostest favourite-est dress though is easily the carousel dress, by designer Manish Arora.

Designer Manish Arora is known for some pretty interesting and fun looks...

Dressing many celebrities, such as Nicki Minaj here:

But my favourite is that magical looking carousel dress...

xoxoxo...

ps:

T.G.I.F.!!!!!

Amelia Nightmare

I can't believe I actually recognized alternative model Amelia Nightmare when she showed up on last nights episode of NY Ink (Season 2). I first squeeled "OMG I LOOOOOVE HER HAIR!!!!", followed by a "wait a minute, I actually know who this person is." hahaa. In fact, I've even blogged about her previously, in what else but, rainbow hair.

I think that this is by far the bestest rainbow hair that I have ever ever eeeeveeeeer seen.

Seriously though, doesn't it make you happy just looking at her hair..??  :)

LOOOOOOOVE!!

Two thumbs up for Ryan Gosling

I might have to chalk up January as the 'Month of Crushes' -- as I'm adding yet another one to the list. A couple of nights ago me and Jarred finally watched the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love -- which I've been basically craving to watch ever since I saw the first preview. And it did not disappoint! I enjoyed it so much that I'm even thinking of adding it to the movie collection. Although with all the movie channels on TV it's quite rare that me and Jarred ever watch anything on dvd anymore. I don't know... There's just some movies that you want to own..!!

Not only was this movie heart warming and sweet, but pretty funny too, and an overall feel-good movie. I mega loved it. Plus, Ryan Gosling is sooooo hot, hahaa... I loved the character he played; smooth talking, and ever so dapper.

ps: this didn't hurt either...

If you haven't seen it yet, go rent it NOW.

On a more serious note, the movie Blue Valentine is much more somber, and almost depressing -- haha -- but, a realistic look at love and relationships. I had zero desire to see this when I first saw the previews, and it was a late night a few weeks ago when I was on my christmas holiday break that one of the movie channels was playing this, and I just sort of got sucked into it. And right from the start too. It's actually a very good movie, and amazing performances from both Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams -- although Michelle Williams' character got on my nerves, and she seemed like a bitch.  :)

xoxoxo...

Madonna: Who's That Girl

One of my all-time favourite Madonna looks is from the crappy movie Who's That Girl -- don't get me wrong though; I do in fact own this movie -- only because it's a Madonna classic. I also find her look classic too, in the sense that it doesn't really go out of style. Even though this look is from 1987, if you happened to see a girl rocking this style today you'd think she were some super cool chick. At least I would.

I secretly wish that I could rock super platinum short layered hair and the dark drawn in thick eyebrows when I see these photos...

This look would be great for a makeup tutorial. I should google that! haha...

xoxoxo...

ps: Lady Gaga vs. Madonna -- twinsies!

Boy Crush List, Part II

What the hell. Why am I so boy-crazy lately..?? I feel like a giddy 13 year old girl. The last time I felt like this was when I was reading the Twilight books -- HAHAA! Sorry, I know that there's A LOT of the non-Twilight fans out there (including my sister!) I however thoroughly enjoyed the books. They made me feel like I was a young girl in a love cloud-bubble. That's the best way to describe it. I was so floaty-like; in some weird dreamy state. The whole time I was reading the books I felt all boy-crazy too. And it was fun. However, I'm getting somewhat off topic here, cause this post has nothing to do with Twilight, nor do Edward or Jacob make part 2 of 'The List'. Today's crush list has a bit to do with guys that I'm attracted to (duh) that remind me of my honey, and my ultimate fav hairdo on men. Let's begin! 

Michael Pitt 

Ohhhhh Michael Pitt. You might recognize him from such movies as The Village, or Last Days -- the loosely based biography on Kurt Cobain. I first saw him (and took notice) in Delirious, whom he co-starred with Steve Buscemi, and now is once again working with on the known and popular HBO tv series Boardwalk Empire. 

I also have been known for having strange crushes, and will admit that I once had a small crush on Steve Buscemi, lol. It was the nerd Seymour in the movie Ghost World. And once again, I'm starting to realize this weird trend on my nerd crushes ... I desperately wanted Seymour to hook up with Enid (Thora Birch), hahaa... -- alas it was not meant to be.

Back to Michael... I don't watch Boardwalk Empire; only seen half of one episode. It's gotten many good reviews, and looks good. I am convinced to watch it based alone that I would have Michael Pitt to dreamingly stare at....

The other thing I love is that haircut. This is my top fav hairdo on men, hands down. Sooooo HOT. Jarred, my husband, used to wear his hair like this as a teenager. I've tried convincing him to grow his hair (shaves it), but no luck so far.  :)

Which brings me to Arcade Fire's singer, Win Butler.

I don't know... there's something about him that I find extremely hot. He too wears his hair in the same style.  :)

And there's something about these crushes that remind me of Jarred too. Jarred once had a good hollywood doppelgänger. Well, sort of. Cameron Bright. Who?? hahaa. Yeah, when I saw him in the movie X-Men -- and especially in the movie Ultraviolet, he 100% was a mini Jarred. 'Mini' because that's what he was -- a little kid..!!

Although now that he's all grown up he doesn't look like him any longer.  :)

Jarred in Mazatlan, 2006.

Inspiration for the New Year

Ohhh, where to begin... Well, I guess I should first thank my girlfriend Griz for introducing me to this blogger, Kaylah, whom I'm going to introduce to you..!! So far I love everything about this cute girl, and find that I share a lot of interests with her; and also find her very inspiring -- and it's always nice to 'meet' inspiring people, as there are plenty out there in the world.  :)

Kaylah is a "thrifting queen", which you can see in her home decorating and personal fashion style, which I just loooooove...

She has such a cute style, and I love the way she puts everything together. She inspires, and reminds me of my love for vintage shopping -- which I've been severely slacking at..!! I can't remember the last time I've been clothes thrift shopping..?? I guess you get discouraged as a lot of times you can't find anything good; plus you find that a lot of vintage clothing runs very small in size and mostly fit; and since I've gained weight from my old days of thrift shopping, I can't seem to fit anything, even when I do find a good piece. AND, when you do find a good piece it's worth it in the end, and it's something that stays in your collection. I have so many aweeeeeesome dresses in my own collection that I don't wear anymore cause they don't fit me, but won't throw out..!! They're hanging in the 'waiting-to-lose-weight-clothes' section of my closet. Which by the way, every girl has that section in her closet. You'd think it would be motivation to get in shape so you can finally wear them again; or perhaps more a sad reminder of why you don't. hahaaa. Changing subjects, just a tad bit here, I'm looking for the first time ever in my life to get a personal trainer. Well, he's my friend -- but nonetheless still very exciting. I only want to lose 20 to 30 pounds. That's it. You'd think I could do this task on my own, but alas, I have failed; mainly due to lack of motivation / laziness. And the main inspiration? Fashion, of-course. I love fashion, and there's so much I want to wear but don't because I feel it doesn't look good on me, and that's because of weight gain. I think I'll do my next blog entry as an introduction of these vintage / and not-vintage pieces in my closet, that quite frankly are ready to come out and be worn already. I can't wait.

In the meantime I will get inspiration from such adorable and stylish girls like Kaylah here.  :)

She's also a nail polish addict and has her nails neatly done all the time...

A true cat lady (4 cats!) ... She even collects cat figurines, just like yours truely, haha...

And takes a lot of suuuuper cute photos of them  :)

She even has the words CAT LADY tattooed on her knuckles. What a cute idea.

She's a crafter and sells her stuff, The Dainty Squid, on etsy -- which you can check out HERE.

I love her blog. She takes great photos, which you can also check out:

http://daintysquid.blogspot.com/ 

I am definitely a fan, and it's going to be my new favourite.  :)

Also while on her blog, she pointed out another crafter on etsy, Katie-Louise Ford , who makes the cutest vintage looking dresses -- like this one:

How cute is that?! It inspires me to try and make something similar; pattern of a dress, maybe something baby-doll-ish, with that peter pan little-girls collar, which I've always looooved. And of-course the kitty cat print.  :)

I'm sure though if I try to make something like this it won't be exactly the same, since, ummm, I don't know how to sew... *gulp* ... Plus I still have my black and white babydoll dress that I'm working on (stillhaven'tstarted). Ohh well, just add another thing to the growing 'To Do' list...
