- City of Angels -

It's been two weeks since we, the girls of Raw Diamond came back from a fun filled weekend in L.A. Spent a whole lotta money, made plenty o' good memories, and gained a hefty 10 lbs.! Totally worth the $$ airfare to sunny Los Angeles, California.

Highlights:

• experiencing thee most amaaazzzzinnggg Ban Xeos for the very first time
• laughing till our tummies hurt and some of us farted (lol)
• visiting shady late night massage parlors for as little as $9.99!!!
• realizing how sketchy some parts of LA can be, namely Venice Beach and Santee Alley. There were couple instances where we had to put our cameras away in fear of being robbed. *cringes*
• LA clubs closing earlier than Vancouver clubs. Heh, who knew...

As many times as some of us have been to LA, it's safe to say that LA never gets old.
Until next time, beautiful palm trees and shady camera-staring latinos.

Prettiest Girls by Pharrell, from Despicable Me. Catchy.

I love the Minions!!! SO CUTE I COULD DIE!!

XXXO

This song is damn catchy(thx fi!)



This one's gotta be an all time favourite.

The many ways to wear a denim shirt. Well...3, that I can think of.

(fig.1)
• Semi-dressy by tucking it into high waisted trousers, shorts or skirt

(fig.2)
• Casual by wearing it over a flow-y floral dress or something figure hugging (to cover up the wobbly bits)…Basically, wearing it the way you’d wear a cardigan.

(fig.3)
•Super laid back by wearing it over t-shirt and trousers or leggings (no jeggings)

I’ve yet to condition my mind to accept denim on denim. It works in editorials but in real life, I dunno…it’s not easy to pull off.

Seee? All the fun ways to wear a denim shirt. Definately a summer staple for girls and boys.

I was able to buy one at *druuum rollllll* Forever21! I think it's safe to say that my waredrobe is 50% F21, 30% Zara, and 20% miscellaneous. I swear these numbers will change significantly once Richmond Ctr opens their own Forever21. I fear for my wallet. I really do. Anyways, back to my denim shirt, I was lucky enough to snatch the last one, but unlucky that it’s one size too small. It looks exactly like the one from Zara (see fig.1), but cheaper; so of course I had to get it.
My justification was that with wear, denim will stretch to fit ones body. So far so good.

Oh! And happy belated summer solstice.
Summer has finally found its way to beautiful Vancity.

Get Him to the Greek

Everybody needs to see this movie if they havent already.
This movie is supposed to be a spin-off sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
I didnt know this when I saw the movie, so I think I missed a joke or two.

Three things i need to point out:
- Diddy is one of the main reasons why this movie is worth seeing
-Russell Brand is pretty darn sexy playing a rockstar and his accent! Gosh...makes me weak at the knees.
- Jonah Hill is not very convincing as a pushover.

I leave you with one of my favourtie scenes:

When the world slips you a Jeffrey, stroke the furry walls. Stroke the furry walls.

His eloquence in writing great lyrics, outstanding guitar solos, smothering voice, quirky dry sense of humour, devilish good looks, full sleeve tattoo(!!), (...i could keep going:)) what's not to love about John Mayer? I don't consider myself a die-hard fan but no playboy interview or status of him being a slutty serial dater is going to stop me from loving what he does.

I let good music speak for itself.

Currently replaying this video over & over. Loovelove this song.
First 20 secs had literally compelled me to write this entry. Also my first entry.
