I'm sure everyone has seen this dress a million times now. Almost ever blog girl has already post their pictures with the Rodarte for Target clothing. Since I knew everyone had already gone crazy for this line I decided to hold back for awhile. On Sat morning after my successful dance party I decided get up and dress like my interpretation of a dancer. Im wearing the nude color leggings and the gray scrunch socks that really makes me feel like a dancer. Also the palette of grey, blue and tan feels very Center Stage to me. Don’t judge me and my bad movie taste!

Here I've added the leather jacket, for a sweet dancer gone bad look! I was nervous about posting this look because I try not to follow the blog banter. I think I gave the dress a new life, what do you think?

Thoughts,

1) For months at a time I have songs stuck in my head. I change the words according to what I'm doing at the moment, it becomes my anthem. I can never tell what song is going to stick in my mind. Most of the time its a mildly embarrassing song, but its something I cannot control. I went through a phase were " ShakeShakeShake, ShakeShakeShake, Shake your booty! Shake your booty!" Was always playing, I liked switching out the words shake. Almost any word fits. Luckily for the people in my life I realized I am getting over my recent anthem which was the Peanut Butter Jelly song. Im going to miss you! Im writing this because I just now realized what the new song constantly jogging threw my mind.

"Awww! Tell me what you want! What you really really Want!"
"I'll Tell you what I want, what I really really Want! "

Trying to write emails to educators while this is going on is difficult but endlessly amusing. I want to respond to everything with this song. When a friend asks me what I want to do next. When Greg asks what I want for dinner. When my boss says anything.

2) I have a hard time relaxing or not doing anything. If I have any freetime I am always doing something. I think of this as a really good thing. I make alot of projects, and I look at them as small time counters. Like what did I do for the 3 hrs in November 09, oh yes made this dress. To me time is meant to be valued. I find it very slothful when people don't realize that everyday is important. Everyday is a new opportunity to create and learn. People don't have to wait for someone else to tell them what to do. Work shouldn't be our only productive time, what are we doing to better ourselves and not just who we work for?

Things Im doing.

1) Undertaking a large beading project
2) Creating comic strips of my memories
3) Creating my own line of Cycling Wear for women
4) I want to learn more about Contemporary art and artists, Clothing Construction, Fabrics, African masks and cultural objects, etc...
5) I want to read more.

I'm tired. Last night I went to Soul Night at a local club. I didn't stay out too late, but I tuckered myself out in anticipation of going out. I have to say I looked damn good last night! I wore my anchor skirt and a blue Built by Wendy top. I was reading http://www.hanneli.com/ and in one of her posts she said that all long haired girls should be rocking the Alexander Wang/Miu Miu side braids. I checked that box and wore a side braid last night.

Here are the Pradas I got off eBay. I'm an idiot and forgot my European size. I thought these were and 8 1/2. NOPE!!! TINY 7 1/2! They fit but are too small. I guess Im going to try to sell them on Craigslist or something. They are real cute though.

Here is the HUGE Chocolate post I've been promising to show off. I didn't realize how many photos I have, its kind of surprising. This spans like 6 months, but I have to be honest and say this only shows the fine chocolate in boxes. I am real indulgent!

As far as chocolate goes I prefer milk chocolate. I enjoy spicy cayenne pepper chocolates the most. I like to eat chocolate that is an interesting blend of chocolate, fruit, flavors & concepts. I also take into account the shape and design of the chocolate. I feel like any concierge of chocolate has to appreciate dark chocolate, and I do. I don't care for peanut butter chocolates, but I will try any kind.

My roommate brought this from San Francisco for me. This box is meant to be paired with red wine.Most of the chocolates were the same kind but I loved the images on the top of each one.

I got these for Christmas from my mother. They are from the local Chocolatier, V Chocolate. This was a very classic box, nothing to go crazy about but it did quench my chocolate thirst for bit. http://www.vchocolates.com/

This Turkey is from a Chocolatier in San Francisco, Saratoga Springs Chocolate. My friend believes they used a mold from the previous occupants of the building, Joseph Schmidt Chocolatier. This turkey was amazing because it was SOLID! The chocolate was a really smooth milk chocolate.

This box was also from Saratoga Springs Chocolatier. The Chocolate with the flower on it is the logo of the Chocolatier. I cant remember what each one was but I had a chai chocolate and an earl gray one. This box was a variation of many styles but there wasn't one bad one in it. I also think each one was attractive to look at.

THE CROWN JEWEL!!!!!!!!! I received this as a Christmas present from Greg, he bought it off Gilt.com. This box is a work of art by Knipschildt Chocolatier. Each one looks the same and taste the same but the taste is overwhelming. When you bite into it, its very sweet but changes and has a 3 distinct tastes.

1) Initial sweetness 2) Strong smooth dark chocolate taste 3) After taste involving both.

Truly the best chocolate I think I have ever had. Its such a complex flavor.

Looking at their website, I guess their pretty hotshit in the chocolate world. I don't care about that I just care if its good AND IT IS!

I hope that this didn't bore you to death. I have many interests and this blog was a way for me to remember and represent each one.

Hi.

I've been awake until early O'clk. I feel pretty good, usually by this time on Friday Im a tired, grouchy, mess. Not today! Ive done alot, had many good meetings, prepared for my responsibilities and Im ready to have a strong weekend.

This outfit is from yesterday I wore it to my first day teaching a new group of kids. They didn't act like it was a big deal. Afterwards I went to my fathers birthday dinner. I have very high standards on food. I think this is because my parents are just the opposite, we went to Golden Corral. Bleh! You know the all you can eat joint. It was sort of terrible. It was another instance where people cant stop staring at me. It was as if I was an alien, suburban dwellers usually do that to me. There was even some young hipsters who couldn't stop staring. If your a hipster you should be able to handle this mild outfit.

Shorts - Hand made

P.S. I just received my first pair Prada's in the mail. Yay!!! Pictures to follow.
