OPI I get a kick out of gold & Only Gold for Me (not shown), Sally Hansen Fairy Nice, Joe Fresh Mint, NYC Quick Dry

Bracelets: H&M, DIY

Hi bunnies! Hope you had a hoppy Easter! Did anyone get to go on an egg hunt? A couple of friends of mine were going to surprise me with an Easter egg hunt downtown, but they figured I’d probably resemble someone looking for goodies on the floor or scrounging for food in the trash. I did get some chocolates though, and a Thumper stuffie who sings, thumps his foot and vibrates…..

To celebrate this hoppy occasion, I decided to try Easter egg nails. Nail art isn’t my forte. It usually gets messy, but I’m pretty impressed with myself on how this one turned out.

Get the look:

• Alternate painting your nails pastel colors — I used Sally Hansen Fairy Nice and Joe Fresh Mint
• Once dry, use tape to create a couple of stripes on each nail
• Paint stripes with metallics, pastels or white
• Using a toothpick or bobby pin, fill in spaces between stripes with polka dots, zig-zags or any other pattern. Get creative!
• Finish off with a sparkly or clear top coat

 
 
As a top coat, I use the NYC Quick Dry in Grand Central Station…. which is just clear. This top coat is the BOMB. It makes your nails dry (and the layers underneath it) very, very quickly and your color lasts a long time. No chips.

The design on my 4th nail was supposed to be a white bunny silhouette  on a purple background with mint polka dots. It looked okay, until I put a layer of sparkles on top. Now, it just looks like I spilled whiteout on my finger. Oh well, I know it’s a bunny. And now, you do too.

Do you have something special planned tonight? Perhaps a hot date? Romantic evening? Or are you a Valentine’s hater, think it’s absurdly overrated and that every single guy out there should just rot in hell? I’m neither. But I could be swayed, depending on my mood. Generally, I like the holiday. Pink, red, candy, hearts. What’s not to like? You know what would make it even better? A hot date. With a 6 pack. And a hot ass. Yum.

I restyled this heart sweater for this occasion because it was the only acceptable thing to wear. It’s so cliche. So right. Especially with the navy harem pants that don’t look navy or loose enough to be… harem pants. They’re really awesome tapered pants, I swear. Pictures don’t do justice.

Aside from that, I finally got around to making some DIY bracelets, inspired by Honestly WTF. I love how they turned out, and how they look stacked! WTF.

Anyways, whatever you’re doing today, make it extra huggable and kissable! Lots of love.

happy valentine’s day.

I’ve had a few days to think about things that made me live, love, laugh this past year, and things that made me sad, hurt and wish I could be someone else. And with all that thinking, I’ve come up with some things that I want to dedicate more time to, focus more attention to, things I want to do to improve on myself and things that will make me feel like I’m doing something worthwhile.

Does that ever happen to you? The feeling that you’ve done shit-all all week, all month, all year? I get that a lot. Sometimes, I can’t even remember what I did over the weekend. So once in a while when I remember to, I write it down — the productive things I did that week, small things I accomplished — even if it’s just booking an appointment to meet with my financial advisor. If you’re like me, give it a try.You might discover that you’re not as big of an unproductive shit as you thought.

So considering that I not only neglected my resolutions for 2011 but totally forgot about them, I’m making life harder for myself this year to make up for lost time. Here are just a few (non-embarrassing, sharable) changes for 2012.

goals & resolutions

• Like everyone else, every year: save more money. I could probably achieve this if I banned myself from going to the mall. I should probably find new friends.
• Read one book a month. 80% self-development, growth, learning; 20% chick-lit.
• Keep up to date with news and current events. I’m so uncultured. There, I said it.
• Improve my Chinese by speaking it 24/7. It’s going to get ugly.
• Stop wasting time on distractions. Does it take you twice as long to do something because you’re picking up your phone every couple of minutes?
• Make time to catch up with the important people in your life — the ones you like, you care about but aren’t in your regular circle of friends.
• Trim the fat. Get rid of people who aren’t worthwhile. Life’s too short for shitty friends.
• Shave more often. Just kidding. No, really. I’m kidding. I’m not going to shave at all.
• Do as you say, or don’t say it at all. “Let’s go for lunch.” Really, we’re going to go.
• Love and appreciate more, hate and envy less.
• Stop saying “I don’t know.” How to do this, I don’t know.
• Make lists. Lists of things you need to Google, topics you want to learn, words you don’t know. Boys to stalk on Facebook.
• Be more active, more often. Dance. Wiggle. Walk. Just move, fat ass. (I’ve given up on gym goals.)
• Try new things. Get out of your comfort zone. Be awkward.
• Slow down, reflect and make time for things you enjoy doing alone. Not those things.
• Find your own way to give back… all the clothes you stole from your friends. I kid. Volunteer, charity, whatever it may be. It’ll make you feel good.
• Listen, learn, write, share. More.
• Do something every day that motivates you, inspires you, makes you feel accomplished. Big. Small. Doesn’t matter.

I know there’s a multitude of other things I’d like to do that haven’t ever crossed my mind. But I’ll stick with this for now. Sounds like a challenge. Am I up for it? I don’t know. I mean, yes.

Did any of my goals or resolutions make it on your list?

Happy new year everybunny! I’m a day late, but I have a good excuse. I was practically bed-ridden on new year’s day due to a lot of awesomeness the night before. I woke up around 12:30pm and freaked out that… it was 12:30pm. One thing about me is that I hate waking up late because it makes me feel like I’ve wasted the entire day. So with that being said, I…. somehow ended up getting up at 5:30pm. A real lazy Sunday to start off the new year.

However, with laziness comes time to reflect and that’s exactly what I needed. When I think of the year that just passed, it feels like just that — another year passed. But think harder and memories and lessons start to unfold. And although I can’t say that this year is the best yet — every age, every stage in life has different experiences that stand out, different events that are important, different requirements to grow — 2011 has been one of the most diverse and influential in making me, hopefully, a better Bunnie.

One thing I am a bit disappointed in is that I didn’t meet all the goals I made. Not only that, I forgot I made them. So once I settle on my resolutions and goals for this year, I’m keeping them visible. After all, you’re supposed to revisit them every now and then to see how you’re doing aren’t you?

So aside from the typical resolutions that are really on everyone’s list — go to the gym, save money, what else do you have? Share them with me. Could be that your resolutions are things I need to do, need to improve on, or things I’ve never even considered. So I need to know. Here’s two for you 1) read one book a month 2) use your phone less. I read this post I wrote 2 years ago. It’s like I just slapped myself in the face. Maybe you need a good slapping too.

Anyways, happy new year to all of you! Wishing you the best in love, happiness and success – whatever you strive for in 2012. Thanks for reading, as always.  ♥

XO,

PS – Today’s also my BFF @chinsquared‘s birthday. HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Love you lots. xo

I feel like there’s a lack of holiday parties this year. It’s probably because I have no friends. But that’s okay. I like being a loner. That’s why I have a blog — so I can talk to you all out there in cyber space and hope that someone will be nice enough to leave me a comment or something. Social interaction is very important for human development.

Anyways, since I don’t have any parties to go to, I decided to create virtual outfits for the virtual party I was invited to. It’s this really cool gala and I have a date. He’s tall, dark and handsome. Funny. Charming. Big muscles. And has a pet octopus. That was my inspiration for the first outfit. I think he’ll like it. As for the second one, it’s just kind of my style. Whoever said you can’t wear gold and silver together is old news. I also love ruffles and tulle. I imagine I’d feel like a virtual princess in it.

On a side note, I created these sets on Polyvore. Being the dumbass that I am, I accidentally deleted the set. Being also smart at the same time, I figured I could just recreate it. Unfortunately, I have bad luck and the dress in the first set is no where to be found. So no, I don’t know who it’s by. Waah.

Back to more important things, which dress should I wear? And can I come to your Christmas party? Thanks.

XO,
