Look of the Day: This Looks Like a Job For Me

Guess who's back? Back again?
Amber's 'fit's, tell a friend.
Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back....
I've created a monster, cuz nobody want's to see boring posts.
They want outfit posts. Yeah, food posts, they're chopped liver.
Well if you want Amber,
this is what I'm about to give ya, a little bit of sequins mixed with some hard leopard.
With some wedges that'll jump-start your heart quicker, then when I get shocked by my closet that's not co-operating.
You waited this long, now stop debating 'cuz I'm back
on the blog, not procrastinating.
So the M-A-C wouldn't let me be, so let me see.
They tried to shut me down on A-N-B, but it feels so empty without me.
So come on and dip,
put you hand on your hip and just rock that 'fit.
But get ready, cuz this mix is about to get heavy. I just settled on my outfit, so rock it betty!

After much delay, my Computer is finally back to working...finally!

Please excuse my MC Amber ways...regular posting to follow.

Party Prep: I'ma Let You Finish

I like to be festive. I like to party. I like to dress up. And I like to celebrate the biggest and smallest things in life. So when the VMA's are on, I don't just block off my Sunday night. I plan VMA themed menu, rock my 2002 Eminem concert tee, and utilize the heck out of anything I have around that reminds me of anything Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

So excited that Chelsea hosted! It was my favorite, but the opening making fun of Gaga was pretty classic.

Of course I had lots of M&M's around.



Pre-VMA's entertainment--in honor of my fellow California Girl, Katie Perry.



Moon Men Mahi Mahi Burgers.

There really wasn't any omg did that just happen moments this year.
I also thought that last year's performance's by Pink, Gaga and Beyonce's KILLED it compared to year's performances.

And I don't think this year's Lady Gaga wore an outfit I could recreate, but I loved how she honored Alexander McQueen, who is rumored to have designed all her crazy looks from last year.

Did you watch? What did you think?

WSAW: And the Other One is Giving the Peace Sign (Or a High Fiving, Or Playing the Piano)

Thank you all for the feedback! Jen was happy you all choose the dress she liked best and questioned why I would ever second guess her opinion, sorry Jazz! I mean I'll be a lil' honey bee at the wedding and a girl in short pants skirt, so it'll be fun!
And I am happy ya'll choose the only dress that had pockets. Sweet! Now I have somewhere to stash my iPhone, when I'm kinda busy. Ka-ka-ka kinda busy...

Just a second it's my favorite song they're gonna play...
(it must be Eminem)

And I can not text you with a drink in my hand, eh?
Cue Beyonce...

Alanis disclosed the one hand in the pocket situation, correct?
I know, it's so ironic that when I want to dance the phone rings.
'cause this is a disaster!

Thanks again ladies! And happy Friday!
What are your weekend plans?

Look of the Day: Cause When You're Hot its Like You're Burnin Up Everyone Else's Cold

It's hella hot today. How hot? Hella. That's right, summer finally arrived here in California. I was waiting for a heat wave to come around, and it sure is here now. It's been such a strange summer, I've only used the pool a few times, and my dresses sat mainly unused for most of the season as well. Looks like I will get good use out of both this week! Seriously, it's one of those 108' days. I can't even imagine how hot it for people who live further north or east of me are doing, it's brutal!

So hot that I actually rocked shorts.

H&M vest, Gap Shorts, H&M Necklaces, Report sandals.

How do you beat the heat?

Weekend Recap: Saying Goodbye, Saying Goodbye to Hollywood

Happy Monday!! I hope you are having a great day and had a fabulous weekend. I know I sure did. Despite waking up with what I thought was a cold on Friday I ended up powering through the weekend and made a last minute road trip down to LA and I'm SO glad I did! I hadn't been my last amazing trip in January, and wow it had been too long. I had a blast visiting my sister's new place in LA, showing my Mom and friend Mandy around my favorite places in Hollywood and just enjoying the heck out of life. I even got to reenact my Briney Spears encounter at it's original location. Gosh I love LA and last minute adventures.

My Happy Place.

Sunset Marquis.
Wendy, it was Bumping.

Pretty darn happy.
My shirt is from my trip last week to LF Stores in San Francisco.

Coffee Bean in Malibu. A must stop for me every trip I make down to SoCal.

Loving life.

So. Hard. To. Leave.

I like to take a minute to a few people:
My Mom for everything, including planning a trip to LA and sparking the urge for me to go.
My sister for living in LA and providing me with a place to stay, and for being my Designated Driver.
My Husband for allowing me to letting me go whereever the wind blows me when he is busy with softball.
Mandy for pressuring me to go even when I was afraid I was sick. And for letting me show her around for her first trip to LA!!!
My Dad and Rena because they just rock and inspire me to dream big.
Dustin for putting up with us crazies and for getting us into the club I wanted to check out.
Wendy for finding the coolest places in LA!! Can't wait to meet you there again!
And for anyone who took the time to read or comment on this post!

Look of Day: Relapse

"Let’s be honest, that last Relapse CD was ehhhh”

I am a recovery addict, and it was hard habit to break. I spent all my money on it. I couldn't get enough. I went back weekly for more. And then when I graduated college I had to quit, cold turkey. Abercrombie, you had me hooked. I couldn't have the sweater, without the cami, without the jean skirt, without the matching flip flops (Kara I know you are right here with me on this). I had to end my incessant need for all things Abercrombie. After my complete obsession I have avoided the place, but this past weekend I relapsed. And now I am kind of happy I did, because I picked up a couple button ups and a really cute bandau/corset bra on clearance. old habit die hard I suppose.

Hi, my name is Amber, and I'm a recovering Abercrombie-holic.

Abercombie Classic Top, Abercrombie Morgan bra/top, J Brand jeggings, Postcards+Love Oh Deer Necklace and Cynthia Vincent for target Wedges.
Yay for oldies but goodies, moose and deer.

Random Thoughts by Me: 2010 Grammy's

Lady Gaga and Elton John make playing the piano look BAD ASS! Love it! WOW sing it B!!aww I wish Alanis would have showed up, that would have been sick. Great performance though. Off to a good start so far!! WOW how does PINK do all that while singing!?? That was amazing! I can't believe that album only got 2 nominations. Umm what is this jamie Foxx performance?? Weird! The ladies really brought, and this is just awkward.OMG Ke$ha is a HOT MESS!*chills* Carrie looks amazing!!! And I want to know how many people actually had 3-D glasses Quentin Tarantino is SO weird! Guess who's back??Back again!! Eminem, Lil Wayne , Drake and Travis Barker were AMAZING! They brought it down!I don't understand how Taylor Swift won Album of the Year, she had 1 hit song they overplayed like crazy! I wish Beyonce or Lady gaga won it!
And my pick for Best Dressed.
Did You watch? What did you think? I love award shows and the girls (Pink, Beyonce and Lady Gaga worked it! I really wish Pink or Lady Gaga would have won more. The rappers boys rocked it out as well.

Wake up in the Morning Feeling like P.Diddy

Grab my glasses, I'm out the door I'm gonna hit this city

We had an Legen...Wait For It...Dary trip!! I had SUCH a good time! Anyways here is a recap of pictures.
Tick-Tock on the Clock.
Many "Artistic" pics were taken...
TONS of hotel lobby hanging out (AKA Celeb stalking) occurred. We saw Paul McCartney, The Jersey Shore Crew(which everyone else cared about but us) and lots of other C listers!
More Stalking from my hotel room.
Outfits were worn, and bad pictures were taken. For some reason (the lighting? my focus) my outfit pictures were not turning out.
ANSI and I.And the Mirror as a TV.
Lots of this was consumed.
And WAY too much of this. Thanks to Wendy and Andi, I was CLEARLY the party animal of the group!!! It was a personal Amber party every night for sure.Which may or may not have lead to the consumption of this, à la Britney.

Image source unknown but we can assume it was from TMZ
And we will miss you CoCo. I had to take a pic of this moment in time!!
And my in flight entertainment. Bet you didn't know I am an origami dollar bill artist did you? ;)And to answer any questions...Britney was Brunette, and STUNNING in person, a seriously gorgeous girl but totally sloppy and dressed horribly. Her kids, though, were dressed to the nines and her mom was totally put together. Like Britney they were all SOOO good looking, wow! Our "moment" lasted a couple of minutes and was way too "intimate" to take pictures. Now one else was around but hotel workers so I did my best to "play it cool" but honestly it was like a dream sequence, and my heart was POUNDING!! I am a dork, what can I say? She came off as shy, but then again the only words I muster up were "It's more fun then a play ground" referring to the chairs her kids were playing on. Ahhhh! I still cannot believe i saw her and SOO close!!!! I LOVE HER!!! OK I am off to catch up on my google reader and blog reading, it is over flowing!
