Luchini-less.

Arghh I am tired of being broke! I need cash now. Since we are having a three-day weekend (Monday off), there's an extra day for me to bring in those clothes I have to Rag-O-Rama. That way they'll give me money for those 4 pairs of skinny jeans I'm bringing and I can go to H&M to get those cardigans! Good plan, eh? I wish those skinny jeans could still fit me but I probably haven't worn them in like a year! There is a solid black pair, solid white pair, distressed gray pair, and a faded black pair. I just miss them so much! My closet looks so empty without them! I;m also giving them my brown wedges and two pairs of khaki shorts. The highest amount of money I hope they give me is at least $20. If they give me like less than $10, I will never attempt to bring them anything after that, and another vintage/thrift store can enjoy my clothes!
I also miss my camera. We were like BFF's! And I'm going to a concert on Saturday night and I'll be camera-less :(... No camera means not many outfit posts to look forward to so instead it's whatever.

anyway.....



Look at Nylon Magazine's new billboard's in Japan. I think they are so creative and Nylon, except not as vintage-y as they normally are.

I miss you Baby.....................Arizona Green Tea of course!

Well this is enough posting for tonight. I have a really long day tomorrow
:)

Another post for Septiembre.

Since I only have two posts for September, I thought it was sad that I was supposed to be a blogger but only posts twice a month. But to get off of that topic, one thing that has been annoying me lately is all this crappy music on that radio that they want to call Hip-Hop. Like come on!!! Like rapping about "what's up with that cookie" has no skill to it what-so-ever, and just because it has a so-called "hype" beat does not mean that the rappers have any skill. I think it's sad how guys can degrade women on a song, but yet we (not actually me) are running around singing/ rapping to it like it's just so great how they are disrespecting us in a different matter. Another thing that is not fair about it is that rappers like Soulja-Crap (soulja boy) can get so much airplayoff of rapping about a girl's "Donk" or "boootymeat". It's pitiful. While artists (people who make art-not crap- in the form of music) like U-N-I can only win MTV's VMA Best Breakout Artists. They are my new fave Hip-Hop groups/artists. I also like The Cool Kids, Gym Class Heroes, Soul-ish, etc.

Outfit Post-y Thing??? Yes Ma'am...or Sir lol.



Cardigan: Urban Behavior
Tank: some store in Canada
Skirt: F21

So that day, I spent the night at my friend's house and then we went to the movies to see House Bunny. blah blah blah. I haven't laughed at a movie in awhile but it was hilarious, kind of like Superbad or The Fourty-Year Old Virgin. You had to think fast in order to understand the jokes. That's probably the last time I did something fun other than go to football games, which I have no clue what's going on in them anyway ahaha.
And that trash really stunk!! Like really bad!



This statue thing..??...is a new art exhibit in New York City..."L- is for the way you look at me, O- is for the only one I need, V- is very,very extraordinary, E- is even more than anyone you can adore"
Isn't that statue and song both beautiful. The next time I go back to the Big Apple I have to see it!

Comments and I'll try to post again as soon as possible

That lovely leather.

Hey, remember in the previous post I said I would finish my, UO, AA, and gojane.com wishlist, well I am now. I happen to check my blog everyday hoping for more comments but if you visit my blog why not comment?!?! But I'm gonna be polite and just lt it go. So anyways, I've been up to the same ol' same ol'...dance and school. But there's one thing that has been kicking me in the butt....being broke. There are some many things I would like to purchase for that Fall and Winter, but no $$$ equals no moccasin boots, corduroy skinnies, chunky cardigans, or studded jewelry!!
So I've decided the best way to get money right now is to send all those clothes I haven't worn to my fave vintage/thrift store Rag-O-Rama. Maybe i could bring in the clothes to trade them in or just get cash. I'm thinking both right about now, because I do want some vintage pieces but I want to stop by H&M to get some of the things that I saw on their website like that Leather High-Waisted Skirt!!! That skirt makes me speechless...and you would not believe the price when I tell you it...$10 frigen dollars!!! OMG I thought my contacts were acting up when I saw the price, it was like un-frigen-believable. I basically scared everyone in the house with my loud screech.
Oh yeah and before I finish that wishlist I have to show you guys one of the ouftit pics that I have leftover. I just happened to be going through my small, stuffed closet and decided to make an outfit for the heck of it...





Cardigan: vintage
Skirt: F21
Tank: some store in Canada
Headband: F21

So today, I went out even though I had like 3 homework assignments because my sister had something for her Debutante thingy and we stopped by a SuperTarget. Surprisingly there was one since there as nothing around there except for...well nevermind, NADA. I was in desperate need for some new black eyeliner since I ran out like 3 weeks ago :) Even though I was broke, my mom bought it for me and I got another Audrey Hepburn portrait to put on my wall!!! I was so excited because it was on sale for $7.48. Call me cheap if you want but that price was just waaaayyyyy to good to be turned down! I mean like coming form its price being $29.99 to $7.98 that is frigen awesome!
Oh yeah, I forgot about that Darn wishlist..........Well here it is:

...From UO.

..American Apparel boyfriend cardigan.

...American Apparel knee-high socks.

...American Apparel striped crewneck tee.


...Gojane.com brown oxford heels.

Cooler Climates Call for Cooler Clothes

Wooh, that was a long title. But hey I'm back, having not posted in a month. Its just that I have been so busy from school to dance that I have no time to blog or even check my Myspace(www.myspace.com/lola2thecity_). And the worst thing happened to me last week!.....my camera screen broke! GRRR. So obviously that means not many outfit posts, but since I have so many leftover outfits pictures that you guys haven't seen yet I'll be using those.
So right now I'm listening to Bittersweet Faith-by Bitter:sweet. They're music is so sensual and relaxing. It's good to listen to when your at home late at night maybe stressed about something or you just need to relax. This song is new fave by them other than "Our Remains".






V-neck tee: Target
Skirt: Forever 21
Shoes (not shown): vintage

Me being the shopping/wishlist fanatic I am, I once again had to show you all the clothing items I long for form Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, and gojane.com. All the things from Urban Outfitters are on sale, being I am such a cheapo. But everything else is regular priced :)

...I am literally in love with these jeans by Cheap Monday. I would love to pair it with my motorcycle jacket and maybe some studded booties...





...The thing I love about the skirt is the way the denim fabric looks distressed and the zig-zag stitching down the middle. Job well done!





...I would absolutely love to add this henley-style cardigan to my wardrobe. The looseness of it sets it aside from the usual Boyfriend-cardigan.

I have to go now but I'll add the clothing items from American Apparel and gojane.com soon!

in a long time.

hiyaa! i havent posted an outfit post in a long time, well like i said in the previous post...in over a month.
Over the summer break i purchased some new pieces to add to my wardrobe and i also made a canvas tote bag with a big front pocket(pics soon).
One of my fave pieces is my striped cardigan that i got on sale at Target for $5.80!!
Its crazy by how cheap i am but when i saw it i was like "OMG a cardigan for $6.00". The only thing wrong about it was that it only came in a medium and i wear either a small or extra small. But then it hit me that the cardigan would look nice as an oversized cardi, so I bought and i absolutely love it!

...
[I dont really like the second pic much but i just wanted to show you guys a close up of the cardigan]

Another outfit that i really like that i wore over the was an outfit which included my: turqouise wictorian button down, hand-me-down multicolored skirt, and my brown Girl Scouts belt. If you read my blog youll probably recognize the skirt from my post on my sme of my Summer Break outfits.
I really didnt wanna wear the skirt long so I pulled it up to under my chest and wore it as a mini skirt.

[[comment please!]]

ive been gone :(

Hiya everyone! If you read my blog, youll notice that I havent posted in over a month!! Now in between the time of me being gone ive been busy shopping (on my birthday and for back to school) and I transfered dance studios again, so now I dance at Dancemakers of Atlanta. I havent started yet but my first class is on saturday from 12:30-5:00. Im in junior and senior company, because of my age but i prefer not to get into that right now! And my dance schedule is also super crazy and hectic. Here it is:
Monday- 6:00-9:00
tuesday- 6:00-9:00
thursday- 6:00-9:00
saturday- 12:30-5:00
Okaaay so the crazy part is is that i soon as i get out of school ill basically have to go straight to dance and that means not alot of time for homework.
And another thing new in my life is that I go to a new school because i no longer attend the performing arts school that I recently went to last school year. Ive been getting alot of snobby/snotty looks from girls and that can get annoying but i really dont care because theyre not importnat in my life and i finnally figured how to open my locker!! :p

Now since I can never do a post without having pics in it heres some pics that i found on the computer and i loveee:

except for Chanel Iman, Jordan Richardson, and others that are successful now. But now I have another model to add to my list and she goes by the name of Jourdan Dunn. The 5 '10 British model most recently walked the Givenchy and Jean Paul Gaultier Paris couture shows. So here's my inspiration;

yes ive been gone.summer 08.

Hello strangers! Im sorry that Ive been such a horrible horrible horrible blogger. My excuse this time??: My computer wont let me upload pics so it was really no point in blogging. Thats a bad one isnt it but hey im sorry. So anyways, here are sum pics of my Summer 08 outfits! I hope you enjoy them and please comment! <3

So this is an outfit that i wore to my little brothers baseball game. The colors dont really fit the whole summer vibe but I really felt the need this wear this dress.
dress: thrift store Rag-O-Rama
scarf: given to me by my mother
gladiators: Forever 21
cat pin: given to me by my mother




I really dont have a clue about my pose, i couldnt really think of anyhting else to do or maybe i just wanted to have an abstract pose. But anyways, this is the outfit that i wore to a Graduation Party way back in May. I wasnt really trying to go for a Boho look but if you wanna call it that then okay.
t-shirt: forver 21
skirt: (hand-me-down)
necklaces: bill hallman store, forever 21
belt: some store in Canada
bracelets: some mall store

This is an outfit that i wore 2 my cuzins house-warming. It wasnt a formal get-together so i didnt have to dress up. The scarf i made myself, which came form an old, raggedy bandana. The hippie headband is actually a belt that i got from a pair of shorts.
top:wet seal
shorts: some store
hippie headband: (came from a pair of shorts)
scarf: (made by me)
necklace: some store

This outfit is the same one asthe one above. I jus added so you could get a closer view of my lovely headband! Ciao!

COMMENTS PLEASE???

mini bicycles.

hey! omg i prob havent posted in like a month but my computer was really fxcked up so i couldnt post but i will have an outfit post coming soon! but in this post i will be displaying these different patterns that i found on Nylonmag.com...Enjoy!!!



The thing that really captures me about this pattern is that I have no clue what it is. It could be waves with a twist or


This bicycle pattern has a certain 3- dimensional feel to it because of the light blue and red clash. Maybe if I throw on some 3-d glasses these little bicycles on the tee wil run all over my head again.
