Oui!

I think the idea of a promise ring is cheesy and it usually never works out (from my friends' experiences), but this would be a really cute one (Christian Dior, circa 2007).

Emma Watson's in white gold.

It makes sense that a celebrity like Emma Watson would wear it since she's young and it's kitschy and fun.  If I were younger I'd probably buy it, but I've been trying to look my age rather than like an 18-year old in puppy love.  Looking old is a bit tough considering I'm Asian, but I'm getting there.  I only got carded once out of 4 days in Vegas!

I also had a crazy dream while in Vegas that Darryl proposed.  He did a great job on the ring, but the proposal, not so much!  It was pretty funny.

The ring reminded me of this, but with more side stones:

What's weird is that this ring and the ring in the dream were rings that I never really considered something I'd like.

Back from Vegas.

I spent this past weekend in Vegas and ended up losing lots of money... but at least I had fun in the process!

I played my usual blackjack, three card poker, pai gow, and slots, but it was my first time playing craps!  It was exciting, stressful, lucrative, and wasteful, all at the same time.  I guess that's how most things are in Vegas, huh?  I was SUPER stressed when I was rolling because some people had hundreds out on the table.  I did an okay job at rolling, but Darryl's sister was so good once that 2 people gave her money!  She was also the only one who didn't end up down $300+ for the weekend haha.

I should have stopped the first night while I was up, or I should have at least gone shopping one day to turn my money into a physical possession...

Some items that have been on my mind (and I should have bought):

• Anything by Yumi Kim.  Sadly all of her cute prints/tops are gone for the season (e.g. that cute top below).

• A new pair of boots to prepare for fall.

Preferably something in black.  

I love my Dolce Vita boots in brown (above), so I "need" something tall in black.  

"Need" as in "want" of course.  :)

• A gold watch is STILL on my mind, sigh.

Centerpieces

This one is a little bit too simple because it's monotone, but that can easily be changed by using different pots, or a different bowl, or different flowers.  Sadly, I do not like butterflies.  They're too tween birthday party-esque.  Blech.

This one is more my taste, but the colors are also a bit too bland.  Also too much stem is showing for the flowers.  Good inspiration, though.

"Rock that body"

Since I'm bored and unmotivated to study, I figured I'd look up my favorite hot men on the internet haha.  I was inspired by my classmates who were looking up their favorite hot actors yesterday in class.

I don't really want to rank them, but Ryan Gosling used to be my #1.  Now, eh, he's probably #2.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt was always a fave, even when he was a geeky teen.

Last but not least, Justin Nozuka.  I'm not really feelin the long hair he's been rockin lately, but when he first came onto the scene, I loved him with a shaved head!  I also love how he always calls his fictional song girls "darlin'."  It's adorable.

"The only exception"

Lately I've been wanting to invest in a watch, but all of the ones I like are kind of trendy.  Trendy being oversized, gold, and flashy, haha.  Oh, and super expensive!

Case in point:

Michael Kors Men's Oversized Watch, $250.

But how gorgeous is that?  It's the perfect accessory for any outfit.  If I could do the hipster look I'd definitely wear the watch with Matt Bernson gladiator sandals, ripped jean shorts, a slouchy racerback tank, and a fedora/panama hat.  The hotness.  Too bad I don't do hipster.  I can do the watch, though! :)

I've been trying to take advantage of the Amazon Prime free trial for college students, but it's been tough finding clothing and shoes I like on such a vast website.  I decided to look for very specific items, and found another Michael Kors watch I've tried on for $50 cheaper than retail!

 

Available at Nordstrom.com for $225.  Available at Amazon.com for $175. 

Since it's a midsized watch it's much more universally flattering than the trendier oversized watches.  I've tried on the oversized and midsized MKs at Nordstrom and I thought the midsized looked better.  The only problem is that I prefer having numbers on the face of my watch!  Sigh.
