LA TwoPointOh Picnic Recap

this is like a flashback

So a little while back, I got approached by MyJewelryBox.com to check out their site. I clicked on over and browsed their endless selections of diamond rings, black pearl earrings and birthstone jewelry (because, according to Refinery 29, birthstone jewels are back!). I must say, what impressed me most is that they have such a wide variety of pieces at every price point! Check out my favorite pieces above and find your own!

It's been too long without a proper post; I apologize! I have pictures, just haven't had the time to resize and post them. This week, though. It will be hectic, but I'll get around to it. That and responding to some of your wonderful comments. I feel so horrible because all I've been doing lately is just taking from this community without really giving back anything of quality.

Without getting too whiny (because I hate that more than the average person), my personal life has been hectic. Planning to move, changing plans, coping with my new "identity" (more on that below)... Anyway, that's not an excuse, but it just goes to show that real life sometimes takes precedence to the fun that is the online fashion world. No worries, things will settle very soon, I can tell :)

As for new identities... I have photos on my camera, as mentioned, but I have not uploaded them. I do have a questionable quality (read: very lame) picture from my phone, so that will suffice for now. What I was going for was this Victoria Beckham cut. Wasn't exactly the edgy take I wanted, but I don't hate it. Better pictures to come this week. Promise!

as much as i love los angeles, there's a part of me that's always wondered what it would be like to live in the city that never sleeps. and perhaps for that reason alone. i want the fast-paced life, full of people - strangers - who are doing their own thing, allowing me to do mine. i want to feel tiny and insignificant, but still imagine i can change the world. i want to be slightly jaded and rushed and unsure and scared.
scared.
i'd be scared of being lonely, of not finding close friends or people to share my life with. as it is, that's a current fear of mine. but i would also find a place to get lost and maybe answer some of those pending questions that every growing 20-something has.
this comes and goes and i always turn to the city as some sort of solution. to what? boredom maybe? complacency, probably. don't worry, i'm not trying to sound too artsy for my own good, this is just purely stream of consciousness and i type as i think.
other cities don't quite do it for me, they don't have the allure. maybe paris, but then i'd have to learn french. but yes, aside from that roadblock, i'd also consider paris in my fantasies.
i don't read into this too much. i only think about these things to pass the time occasionally. i love the life i have here in la. i would never give up the hard work that it's taken to get me here. nor would i leave everything & everyone i love on a whim; i'm a little more calculated than that, for better or for worse. however, if somehow i hit rock bottom in this lifetime, i'm packing up and moving to start fresh in old new york.
