music is more than just a multi-billion dollar industry. for me, music is what i can't put into a simple conversation. music takes me to a place where only i can go. music is something that only the truly gifted can bring to millions.

i visited the grammy museum last week as a birthday present from a friend. it took my breath away. literally. anyone who lives in or around los angeles and has a simple love for music needs to take a look at what the museum has to offer.

grammy museum
800 west olympic boulevard
los angeles, ca 90015
www.grammymuseum.org

tickets are only $12. worth the price, in my opinion.

this dress has really grown on me, and i may just ask for a carbon copy for graduation:

Preen Band Dress- $1180
if the price for the dress wasn't over $1000 it would be in my closet about now.

now to find the perfect shoe...oh, and something else that's REALLY good? circus animal cookies. used to hate them, now i love them.

graduation is in may. i've been applying like crazy to every single entry-level job i could find. haven't gotten any responses yet but i figure: a) it's too early or b) no one will hire me until AFTER i graduate. giving up is not my cup of ice blended coffee, fyi. i know the right opportunity will come eventually.

something else to worry about now?

i've got a few things in mind. too bad i can't recall what they are. i know for a fact clothing and shoes will get into the mix. oh, and the best tasting drink i've had in a while? this stuff:

sorry pina colada. my affair with mango mellon has been horrendous but so refreshing and tasteful.

i'm pretty sure i will post something fashion related within the next 5 minutes. stay tuned for more excessive rambling and mind-numbing entries.

I've been very fashion-hungry lately. Websites such as Polyvore, Lookbook.nu, and if you seek style have been scoring major cookies points with me. I swear I could be the poster child for a Urban Outfitters/Anthropologie ad. Styles such as these have begun to inspire me:

Some may think the colors are too dark and drab for spring but I am a dark and drabby girl (no dark and depressing personality/attitude here. Girl Scout Brownie's honor).

i turn 22 tomorrow. it's really not that big a deal. i'll wake up, put on some shorts and a t-shirt, turn in my take-home geometry exam, eat, nod off, go to my last class, and that's it. not expecting much either. somehow i'm always surprised with something but i'm not anticipating anything this year, nor do i feel a big change in turning a year older. i'm not 21 going on 30 or 21 going on 25. lesigh. on the bright side, nothing is stopping me from making a birthday wish list. key word is wish but yet i always end up making these in my spare time. it's always nice to dream.

dylan george olivia pant in black- $139

crash kings- crash kings (CD)

fluxus burnout pocket tank- $53

there are probably many more items but i'm stumped right now. ay yi yi.
