PROM

where do we take pictures in a boring, architecturally bland 1948 sunset house? with pretty doors!

we got the opposite nails Riza!

kia wore vintage jessica mclintock that was actually really cute

she looks presidential

selix is crap. wth tux shorts

Domino came today. BUT WHERES LUCKY? augh.

With two more weeks (sort of) of school, why is mr arber assigning presentations! why did we just have a multi-variable freaking calculus test! whyyy do i have two newhouse finals on one day! i just want to camp on the roof, tag my name on lockers, have dirty water balloon fights in the halls, play flag tag, strobe light dance, be a photo whore, wear SHORTS without being sent to freaking Giles office.

You know the girl... on facebook

You know the girl...
that i found on facebook...

WELL. she's my friends friend, and long story short, i borrowed her dress. :) It's a 4P, just a little short on me (omg she's 5'3!)


Even though i hate that it's black, it'll have to do cause prom's in a week!

holy shit














so Sam, Richel, Em, Ho, Joce, whoever reads this. this is the dress. the end. im tired of looking.












sooooo yeah! that's it. See my mega tan/burn up there?




this is what it looks like FOR REAL


I hope I'm not peeling at prom. hahah! peeling has yet to begin.


And finally, say hello to pedro maalihan, jose's cousin

Sprom FRUSTRATIONN!!!!!!

AUGH. My search for perfection is not going well. So far I've tried on about 20 dresses, but most turn out just slightly off in cutting, color, sheen, whateverrr!

Yesterday in desperation, I went to Vallyfair in San JO. OMG that mall is over the top, mega bitchy. All the dresses were size 8, 10, 12. AND I SAW A SIZE 22. SO GROSS. But! the selection at that Macys (gross! i know) was vaaaaaast! huge! the dress section there was like the size of the whole junior section at stones macys. obese though.

Today, still desperate, I turned to stonestown Banana Republic and tried this on...
$175 at BR silk. I would need a diff belt though.

and this
haha isnt mommy funny.
$150 silk maxi with crisscross straps in the baaack. maybe too happy for prom.

and then Nordstrom where I finally tried on this..


$295 Laundry by Design silk sweetheart strapless gown size 6 was hella big. but its sooooo red carpet! love!


this is that Ralph Lauren I bought back then.. it only goes to my knees. SLUT

One Shoulder?

Runway
$118 at Nordstrom

I hate that dangling piece of fabric and the model... so I cut her head out.












Real Way

pic I found on facebook.. teehehe
Maybe it just looks better in black, or the model's pose up there is too DIVA for me.
















Again, ignore the fugly model. I like how classy and yet! slutty this is. Or maybe it's just the model.

David Meister One Shoulder Sheath Dress
$306.00


















DEMENTED MODEL!
I've always wanted a bright ass maxi. This one is so pretty.

Blumarine Floral Gown $1860

J Crewism!

Current j Crew obsessions.



I wish i had a cute little asian girl with a mushroom hair cut so that i could dress her in j crew. Maybe a little boy too. I'm looking for summer jersey dresses with plenty of forgiving and strategic draping. ahhhh... I need a job.

Oh oh! Lucky came today!!!! yay for study breaks!

The Dress

So Dennis told me Richel blogs. And now I will too. Thanks Ho and Kumar.

With prom 3 weeks away and a date in the bag (haha), it's time to find THE dress. augh.

Things to avoid:

1) strategic belly rouching to hide tummy fat, because it's obvious what you're hiding.
2) metallic highlighter colors with a fake ASS tan. GROSS
3) slutty proportions. AKA short skirt, strapless. or cleavage AND booty. ew
4) itchy polyester
5) slits and tiaras

So with that said, here's what I'm looking at.

Nu Collective Sleeveless Chiffon Tiered Dress
$262.00
I really like this yellow and the tiers! But its so shapless. Not prommy?


BCBG Strapless Organza Dress
$360
would be SO embarassing if someone else wore this.

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Strapless Silk Dress
$220
HAH bad qual phot in the dressing room at Bloomys. I actually bought this as a blah safety.
BCBG Short Chiffon Trapeze Dress
$340
So delicate!

BCBG Long Satin Strapless Empire Waist Gown
$340
Hardcore prom.

AUGH. Yes I realize 3/5 of these are BCBG. IT JUST SO HAPPENS to be this way.
My only fear is wearing the same dress as some other girl--> so much wasted effort.

So? What you think?
