Metallic Nails for Autumn

I've noticed that metallic nail polishes are everywhere for the upcoming fall season. They are definitely going to be a huge Fall nail trend. Although I do not own a metallic nail polish, I decided to kind of make my own. My mom recently bought the Bobbi Brown Twilight makeup package during the Nordstrom anniversary sale. The package consisted of a sparkly taupe colored nail polish that I was hoping would be opaque enough to look metallic. Unfortunately it is a bit sheer to wear on its own and doesn't really achieve the metallic look. So I thought if I put it on top of a black nail polish it'll give a nice contrast to the shimmers, thus giving the metallic effect.
I absolutely love how it turned out! The black and the taupe shimmer make such a great combo.

Sorry about my ugly fingers :P

Atlanta

I was super excited about going to Atlanta because I wanted to test how much I learned in my photography class. I feel like I learned a lot because I managed to get great pictures while I was there. Not only that, but I also felt a lot more comfortable with adjusting the settings of the camera to fit exactly what kind of picture I wanted. Honestly, I think I was more excited about taking pictures than actually enjoying the trip. It also helped that I've been to Atlanta before so I knew where I would take pictures. So here they are and I didn't edit any of these pictures because I don't really have an editing program....

(p.s. I know that most likely no one will take my pictures, but if you do I would appreciate it if you linked it back to my blog. I know that my skills are definitely lacking still and I have a lot to learn, but these pictures are still something I'm proud of and I want to treat it as if they are my "works". I hope you understand. Thank you)

Oh and if you are a more experienced photographer who would like to give me (the beginner) some constructive criticism, that would be awesome!

I'll throw in this song I found today just because I'm lovin it!

Alabama

After meeting my friend, who I hadn't seen for about 5 years, we started off the day with a nice Korean treat.

Had to drive about 2 hours to get to a decent sized mall.

Serious face.

Whenever I hear or think about Alabama, this song gets stuck in my head..

I don't even like this song!

OOTD: Atlanta

As mentioned before, I went to Atlanta. I was there for a total of about 24 hours and as soon as we got there we went to the World of Coca-Cola. (I will have those pictures up soon) This picture was taken at the Olympic Park, which is right in front of the Coke place. Here is a sort of unprofessional outfit of the day. I bought that backpack a few days before and I'm loving it!

 

Tank Top: Zara

Blue Skinnies: Gap

Tuesday Morning

Good morning!
It's really rare for me to ever say that. Firstly, I'm just not the type of person that goes around being all jolly in the morning. Secondly, when I wake up it's usually afternoon (at least during this summer).
The reason I'm up is well... Cause I didn't sleep. I tried sleeping early but ended up waking up at 3am so I just decided to stay up. It'll be easier for me to sleep early today so that I can be well rested before I head out to Alabama at about dawn.
I haven't mentioned this before but I'm going on a trip to Alabama and Atlanta. My childhood friend recently moved to Alabama which is now closer to my house, about 5-6 hours of driving. I'm not sure if there's anything exciting to do in Alabama, but it's only for a few days. Plus the whole purpose is to see my friend.
So yes, I am going away to Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia for about a week but I will be blogging or vlogging and taking tons of pictures. So stay tuned for that!
Talk to you later! Byeeee

Films of the Week

For some reason this week I was really in a movie mood. I still have a list of things I want to watch, but for now I want to share the movies I've seen so far.

I also want to mention that all of these images are from tumblr.

Sorry for such an unoriginal representation of the movie. This was the only picture I could find on tumblr of the movie itself. When I typed Push, all I found were pictures of ugly bikinis... Anyway this movie was pretty bad. I mean it has a nice plot but the whole make up of it was lacking. The concept of governments controlling these people with powers is cool and all but something about this movie .. it was lacking something. Not to mention the poor acting skills. 

Marie Antoinette. Overall the movie is just as bad as Push, but I decided to place it after Push just for the sole reason that the picture was pretty. Meaning, the costumes, the food, the scenery, etc. Plus, I personally like Kirsten Dunst as an actress. The reason I didn't like this movies is because I feel like nothing really happened. 

I've seen this movie before, but I had to watch it again after Melanie mentioned it in our Summer Trends video. Of course this is a good movie. I must admit that after watching this movie, my thoughts of not going into the fashion business seems like a good decision. I don't think I can take the pressure and the whole social networking thing that fashion people must do. 

The Virgin Suicides. Melanie recommended this movie to me and I know it's sort of a classic. To me it was just mediocre. I might've liked it more if I understood what was going on. I don't know.. the whole movie just didn't make sense to me. Oh and if you've seen this movie.. can someone tell me why that one guy left Lux in the football field?

The Breakfast Club. I should probably ashamed to say that I've never seen this movie until now. Everyone always talks about this movie and it's like a classic. I definitely see why. It's a great movie! Nothing more to say about it.

Remember Me. Sometimes I just love watching romance films and this was a good one! I am not a huge Robert Pattinson fan nor am I a twilight fan, but I have to admit that I thought Robert looked really good in this movie. I am a bit embarrassed to say this ...but umm.. I cried at the end because I was not expecting that ending at all! Sometimes not knowing at all what the movie is about is a good thing, because then when movies have a twisted ending it just hits you more.

Almost Famous. If you haven't seen this movie already, GO WATCH IT NOW!! It was absolutely amazingggg! I'm always so interested in the 60's and 70's generation so this was perfect for that. Anyways, just watch it.

I think that's all the movies I've seen this week. I feel like I'm missing something...
This might not necessarily be an interesting blog post, but whatever because I wanted to share it! So deal with it! haha I will probably do more of these in the future.
Oh and if you have any movie recommendations please let me know!
Goodbye folks! :)
