Your mom.



I don't know how, but I got to this after googling bras d'honneur. el oh el.

Ok. I love Sex and the City. I could watch all 6 seasons over and over again. The reason I probably like it so much is because it's an escape for me. These four women's lives are so different from mine and it's fun to watch. The pretty fashion eye candy plays a major part in my addiction too.

I read on Asos that they're filming a sequel to the Sex and the City movie in London. My first thought, "Oh god."

As if we hadn't already raised our excitement levels to 'optimum' after hearing about the SATC sequel, the girls go that one extra Monolo further and drop the big one on us...(Look away now to avoid MEGA spoilers!)

According to Grazia, we'll be treated to a case of Sex and Another City as scenes are to shoot in London over a six week period this winter. And not just any old scenes, pivotal scenes - with our favourite fairy tale couple: Carrie. And. Big. The relocale emerges after Big loses his bazillions and is forced to take a job in London, living alone in a one bedroom flat (*gasp* we hope Carrie doesn't have to give up that perfect walk in wardrobe!)
Sadly, Carrie's fairy tale comes to an abrupt halt (again!) when Big tells her he slept with another woman and she is forced to fly out to confront him. But it's not until she finishes with Mr Big Stuff that she gets the biggest shock of all: she's pregnant!! Wow, with all this drama going on we hope Carrie can take some time out for a little retail therapy around Bond Street (or even a little trot down Oxford Street if Big's plastic is running low...)

On the fashion front we hear Patricia Field will be back in the hot seat, glamming up the girls for the second theatrical installment and Vivienne Westwood may even being giving a helping hand - now there's a collab we'd LOVE to see.

COME ON, PEOPLE! Can you give these two a break?! Seriously. Is Big cheating really that necessary to the storyline? They could have just left that completely out and it would still be a good movie. Urgh. Still, I know I'm going to go see it, because I'm a SATC addict.

I've been using a new blog of mine: hystericgirl.blogspot and was too lazy to cross-post to LJ..
I syndicated the blogger account to LJ, so you guys can keep up with posts on your friends list without having to navigate away from LJ. hystericgirl was taken, so I'm making due with hystericgirl_le.

If you want to have my blogger posts on your LJ friends list, then just click here and choose "Add this feed to your friends list for news aggregation...".

If you're going to comment and want a reply from me, be sure to do it directly on the blogger site, and not from the feed post. I'll still use LJ for more personal posts, and to read friends' entries. School is very hectic this semester so my hours on the internet and commenting have gone way down. Sorry guys. :( For now I'm just spamming blogger with materialistic/fashion crap..

They won't led me embed the video... but damn it is LMAO~

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Today was hot hot hot, so I toned down on the layering. The sun was so bright that I decided to wear a sheer floral shirt. It feels so nice in this heat.

Floral prints are starting to grow on me. Maybe it's the coming of spring that I'm hoping for.

I've been cooped up in my room reading, so... some overdue pics.

Oh. my. god.
That is skillz, baby.
I can't even get mine to form cleavage...

Today was super cloudy and rapidly turning chilly. Strange how my house is still hot.

My current library reads are:



Alison Weir is coming to do a book reading at Central Library on February 4th! Arghhhh I must go! I finally got a hold of The Lady Elizabeth, a book I've been wanting to read for quite awhile. Ohhhh it is good..

I think I'm more into the sky than my outfit today. I love this kind of bright sunlight. Cloudy days suck.

I bought this open back orange top on a shopping trip during the National Student Leadership Conference on Medicine. I met a really cool girl there. She was beautiful and quirky. We both stuck out like two sore thumbs at that place, and of course bonded instantly. We were both fashion and clothes addicts so we went a little crazy with our spending money on that shopping trip. I can't resist a sale. There were two color versions of this shirt hanging on the rack. She bought the green and I bought the orange. It brings back really good memories. We eventually lost contact when she moved to California for college. I miss her.

Did everyone have a good New Year's eve? I'm starting off fresh this year. Goodbye sucky 2008!


I'm addicted to this song today. Maybe that's why I made the white theme like the tragic girl in the video.

at least can you do it with J and then have mad gay sex in front of a video recording?

I never understood it when people tell me an outfit I'm wearing won't be able to translate to real life/public.

"I just can't see you wearing this out in public. You just don't go get a cup of coffee wearing that."
What the hell does that mean?!

If I want to wear an entire runway look, then I damn well will do as I please. Why tone down a "runway look" because supposedly--like oh my god--PEOPLE WON'T LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S TOO MUCH? I freaking love the looks on the runway. The styling is always so amazing and inspiring. Who the hell cares what strangers think, anyway? If you feel like going through life basing everything you do on the good opinions of other's, then I feel very sorry for you.

The only thing I can think of that won't be appropriate in public is being completely naked, showing your privates, or wearing only your undies. As I am guilty of none of those things, I refuse to believe that what I normally wear on a daily basis is somehow not-for-public.

I hadn't seen a Spring 2009 collection where I would want to wear all of the pieces until I watched Christian Lacroix's show. I am all for over-the-top details, print mixing, textures, and bright color. Christian has really brought it down with my taste in this collection.

From Edwardiana jackets, toreador capes and pants, artfully bustled and draped flounced skirts, to giant carnation corsages and bows, flower and stripe prints, and boned neck pieces-- I am simply hooked on everything.

I love to study all of the details of an outfit. It's so interesting and inspiring to see the mix of textures, prints, and colors in each piece.

During the usual grocery store run, I indulged myself on a large box of perfectly glazed doughnuts. Yum. They're probably going to add even more flab on my stomach, but I'm too hungry to care right now.

I bought this shirt at a thrift shop a very long time ago. I can't stand tags rubbing against my neck, so I cut all of them off. I regret cutting the one on this shirt off because now I don't remember the name of the designer. I just know that it was an Italian man. If anyone recognizes this shirt, please tell me who the designer is.

I went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button today. It was nice, funny, warm, painful and sad wrapped up into one movie. Cate Blanchett is so breathtakingly beautiful. I would kill for her figure. This movie made me think about how precious life is, whether you're aging forward or backward. In the end, we all die. So please cherish your time on earth now. You never know what the next day will bring.

When I saw these leggings on the Forever21 website, I knew I just had to have them. They reminded me of Japan's rising sun symbol.

I bought this rich purple-pink lipstick and I love it so much. It turned out red in the pictures though. D:



There's just something about these thick, bold lines that my eyes are attracted to. I can't quite put my finger on it.
