Saturday Night Obsessions - Gossip Girl

"...And who am I? 

That's one secret I'll never tell. 

You know you love me. 

Xoxo... Gossip Girl"

That line gave me the chills.

Yes, this series has been gone for almost a year, but I'm still crying due to the fact that it ended.

With this show I fell in love with fashion, Chace Crawford, and most importantly, New York city. I think that New York is one of the best cities in the world, I could write a lot about how much I love it, but I think that that would be too much writing for this blog.

Why do I love this show?

Why not? It has everything.

I could just stay here for days writing about the fashion and the shots from the city are just how beautiful are the sights of the city.

The next time I go to New York I would like to stay at the Empire hotel, have lunch at the plaza, sit down on the steps of the MET and go shopping with either Blair or Serena, maybe both of them. I also wouldn't mind if they could take me to a party or something like that, and maybe a weekend at the hamptons.

This show has also had a huge influence in my wardrobe, aside from Blair's and Serena's wardrobe, I really liked how
Vanessa dressed sometimes. 

Who wouldn't like to go to their parties, so high class and full of important people (AND A LOT OF DRAMA)

I think that the more I think about it, I wouldn't really want want that life that much, maybe just the fashion, and not the drama, but the GUYS from that show. Chace Crawford is so dreamy, I wouldn't mind meeting him, or have a Chuck Bass in my life.

If you haven't seem this show, I seriously recommend this to you. 

And I guess that's it, I will leave you with the simple words of gossip girl...

You know you love me, 

xoxo

That was just plain weird,
Bye ❤️

Saturday Night Obsessions - Pretty Little Liars

Yesterday I posted a blog all about the books that I have to read, and I mentioned that I was organizing my book shelf, and all of the memories came back to me, obviously book memories. So while I was organizing this I came across one of my favorite book series:

*FYI I spent nearly an hour trying to set up the books

The Pretty Little Liars (PLL) series consist of the books:

1. Pretty Little Liars
2. Flawless
3. Perfect
4. Unbelievable
5. Wicked
6. Killer
7. Heartless
8. Wanted
9. Twisted
10. Ruthless
11. Stunning
12. Burned
13. Crushed
14. Deadly (To be released on December 3rd 2013)
15. Toxic (To be released June 3rd 2014)

And the companion novels:

• Pretty Little Secrets (Set between Unbelievable and Wicked)
• Ali's Pretty Little Lies (Prequel to the series)

That seems like quite a lot of books, and yes, they are a lot of books, but once you start reading them you will not want to put the books down. Some people may think that it is the cliched teen girl books, but they are so much more, I mean, yes, the books obviously have the girly moments, teens are the target audience, but many parts of the books are really interesting and thrilling.

Pretty Little Liars is about a group of four friends - Aria Montgomery, Hannah Marin, Emily Fields and Spencer Hastings - that are trying to solve their best friend's Alison Dilaurentis murder.

Pretty Little Liars is also a TV show, it stars Lucy Hale as Aria, Ashley Benson as Hannah, Shay Mitchell as Emily Fields and Troian Bellisario as Spencer Hastings. This is show is also one of my obsessions, and it has been ever since it's premiere back in 2010.

Yes, watching the TV show is an option instead of reading all 15 books (as of november 2013), but the TV show is only BASED in the books, so both things are quite different.

I will not say the differences because then I would be spoiling the whole book series or the show, but I seriously recommend to watch the show and read the books, they are two completely different things.

How did I came across PLL?

Well, I had just finished watching the movie "Bring It On: In It To Win It" and I was wikipedia stalking Ashley Benson, when all of the sudden "Pretty Little Liars" appeared on the screen, I really liked the name so I clicked it (that was back in 2010, I only read stuff that sounded pretty). I read that it was going to premiere, i believe in june, and i immediately ordered all of the 8 books in amazon (the series was originally only going to be 8 books) and I became obsessed with them. I am also obsessed with the show, but that may be a whole new blog post.

I think that most of the teenage girls across america have heard of the books, or at least the show, so they may not be new to you, or maybe they are, who knows?

I absolutely love this book series, and I hope that you decide to read the books, either if you watch the series or not, they are pretty entertaining, or maybe not, depends on the type of person you are...

Well, that's all I have to say.

Bye.

Favorite Childhood Tv Shows

Today I'm going to share some of my favorite Tv shows while growing up, since its flashback friday and all that jazz...
I grew up during the late 90's early 2000's so lets say I'm a mix of both generations, but I would say that I was heavily influenced by the 90's considering the fact that most of my cousins and my siblings were from either the late 80's or the early 90's.
I still watch most of these Tv shows due to the fact that now Teen Nick airs "The 90's are all That" block. It creates this feeling that I'm a really small kid that doesn't have to worry about school, exams, boys (that is not a necessary one, but girls know how I feel) or any drama between friends
So, here they are, some of my favorite childhood memories;

Hey Arnold!

I absolutely adored that show, and still do, it is one of the first things that pop up in my mind when i think of when i was growing up. I remember that every time the theme song started playing I just danced like a crazy kid who had just eaten a lot of chocolate (I may, key word may, still do that) I mean, COME ON! who couldn't love that show and Arnold's huge crazy head, or love to hate Helga, I think every person, either boy or girl, can identify with her, due to the fact that when you are little you always dream about that one little kid, and sometimes when you want to get their attention you did really bad things to them, like make fun of their hair (maybe you still do that... ok, maybe I still do that, dont judge) 

Rocko's Modern Life

Before you start saying anything, YES, I do know that this show has VARIOUS sexual innuendos, but I still like it never the less, i think that that is the main reason why many grown ups still watch this show, even though it was targeted towards kids. This is a show that was introduced to me by my older sister, she loves this show, and as I got older I started loving it even more.

Kenan And Kel

I think that this was the first live action show that i couldn't live without. Kel always made me laugh really hard in each episode with how lost he always was, and how crazy was Kenan, because even though Kenan was really intelligent, he managed to get the two of them into trouble. Another thing that i really liked was Kenan's sister and how obsessed she was with Kel.
And come on, one of the best things was when Kel went crazy about orange soda and when he talked in third person and said "who loves orange soda? Kel loves orange soda. Is it true? Mm-hmm! I do, I do, I do, I do, I do-ooh!", I mean, it was the best part of the show.
Also, who doesn't love the theme song 

As Told By Ginger

This is a show that followed me all the way to my pre-teen years. I remember that I always wanted to have a diary just like Ginger had, and that I (unsuccessfully) tried to start various ones, only resulting on me having a bunch of journals piled up in my nightstand. One of the things that really made me watch this show was the fact that it touched real issues that could actually happen in real life, it was one of those few shows that absolutely nailed the character development, and even though they are animated, you feel like they are real people and you manage to connect with them. While I was writing this, i came across some episodes that were posted on youtube, here. I could definitely say that this is in my top 3 cartoons.

SpongeBob SquarePants

OBVIOUSLY only the first seasons, after that, it all went down hill.
This is one of the favorite shows of many people. There is nothing left to say THE FIRST SEASONS are neatly done, and the writing is hilarious, and the movie was really good, it was one of the few times that I actually went to the movies to watch an animated movie without being dragged by someone
And, is it just me, but I really want to go to Krabby Land. Also, who wouldn't like to taste a Krabby Patty, I would eat meat just to taste one of those delicious patties.

KaBlam

I really liked all of the segments of this show. I would have to say that some of my favorites were either Henry and June, or Action League Now!, yep, i was quite the tomboy during some part of my little life. Because of Henry and June I always wanted to have my hair of really weird colors, obviously my mom never let me dye it, I think I will do it sometime soon...
And Oh My God, Sniz And Fondue!!! AHHHHHH. I don't know why, but i loved how they talked, i found it really funny.
Rugrats

This show HAD to be on my list, it is a one of kind show. I always wanted to have an older brother like Tommy that would take me on adventures, and eat weird stuff with Phil and Lil. When I was a little older I really wanted to be friends with Susie, or maybe go on a adventure to Paris or to an island with all of the baby gang. I can't really express how much I ADORE this show. This is definitely on my top TV shows list. I also loved the addition of Kimi after the movie, she and Chucky were so adorable together as brother and sister.


All of my childhood memories were basically dominated by all of these TV shows. I absolutely couldn't change the nickelodeon channel from waking up, till I was sent to bed by my mom telling me that my eyes were going to dry out and that I wouldn't be able to see, and after that I would not be able to see any more Nicktoons, OH BOY, that could not happen. There are still plenty Tv shows that I haven't really written about, I will maybe do a part 2 some time soon, but until then I will just leave you with this few memories from my childhood, and maybe this made YOU reminisce about your childhood. 

Emmys Fashion Countdown

Award shows,

What would a designer do without them?

Yes, they do advertise their labels in Fashion Weeks, but truth is, not many people have the time of the day to watch a full fashion show, and it would be a lot better to see the dresses in a more familiar face than just a model's face.

The emmys are TV's biggest night, and also one of my favorites for fashion.

These are some of my favorite fashion moments:

Nina Dobrev:

2011; she wore this absolutely stunning in this Donna Karan dress. 

2010: A year before she wore this flawless Zuhair Murad dress, head to toe perfection.

Blake Lively:

2009: Blake looks absolutely fearless in this red Valentino gown. The detail of the dress is stunning and the skirt flaws beautifully.

Alison Williams

2012: Last year the Girls turned head with this emerald green Oscar de la Renta dress. I love the detail of the neckline, it looks flirty and elegant.

Claire Danes:

2009: The Homeland actress looks gorgeous in this Armani Prive gown.

Hayden Penettiere:

2012: In last years awards the Nashville looked like a greecian goddes in this Marchesa gown, and the blue chiffon made the gold details in the dress stand out more.

Jennifer Aniston:

2004: The Friends actress looked stunning in this hippie inspired Channel gown, the color looks fabulous with her skin tone.

Cat Deely:

2010: The So you think you can dance host stuns in this white gown with gold details from Monique Lhullier.

Jennifer Garner:

2004: The actress looks perfect from head to toe in this white Oscar de la Renta gown, the skirt's detail is absolutely beautiful.

Rose Byrne:

2009: Rose looks like a princess in this Valentino gown, and come one, who wouldn't want to look like a princess at least for a day?

Olivia Wilde:

2009: This Marchesa is absolutely breath-taking, the details that it has in the skirt make ker look like a goddess. The make up and hair are flawless.

Drew Barrimore:

2009: The actress looks pretty in pink in this Monique Lhullier gown that makes ker look like a princess. She has really soft make up, and the hair makes her look effortlessly beautiful.

Kristin Davis:

2004: Its obvious that if you are in such a fashionable show as Sex and the city you are going to wear a beautiful gown, and Kristin Davis did just that in this Little Black Dress by Prada. The metallic necklace and purse stand-out against the black fabric.

How can there be a best dress list without one of the most fashionable woman ever alive?

Obviously...

Sarah Jessica Parker:

This doesnt even need a description

2003: Channel

2004: Chanel

That's just my opinion, you may hate some of these dresses, or you may love them, or you may be mad that i didn't include other dresses, like that Sofia Vergara one. 

Just a little more time left to see what are the stars wearing, and perhaps there will be more dresses in my favorite Emmy dresses.
