BURNING MAN: Round 2

Ok so if you haven't heard of Burning Man...HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK?! It's only the most amazing place in the world. I suppose I would rather you never have known at all than to have the knowledge and not go. I went in 2009 for the first time and I will continue to go every year for the rest of my life. To attempt and describe it would be like trying to explain color to a blind person. Even pics and video don't do it justice. Below is a link to the official burning man website. Check it out!

Mad for Mystique

I am LOVING my new Mystique sandals! They are reasonably priced, durable and the prettiest sandals I have ever seen. I bought one pair in the Spring (see below) for my trip to the Bahamas and I loved them so much that I just ordered two more pairs! Buy your own at http://www.shopmystique.com/SearchResults.asp 



H20 Points to the Dough

Have you ever wandered into a house party and been like "wow this is a sick pad!" but then the next day you go into another house, equally as awesome, and you're unsure who is keeping up with the Jones's and who has the real moolah? If you're curious, make your way over to the fridge or pantry and VOILA! Standards of wealth can be measured with my foolproof method: water bottles! Lower end water bottle companies like Aquafina and Dasani equals lower income households, whereas more high end water bottle such as Penta and Evian equate to a higher standard of wealth. Up until yesterday I had thought that Figi water was the ultimate, until I opened a stainless steel Sub-Zero fridge filled with VOSS!

SHARK WEEK!

My favorite week in television has finally arrived! For those of you who don't know, Shark Week is a FULL week dedicated to sharks. Being that sharks are my favorite animals in the world, you can imagine my excitement. I have been diving with sharks all over the world since I was a kid. From Bull Sharks in Florida to Tiger Sharks in the Bahamas. Last month I was in the water with my first great white! So be sure and tune in to Discovery Channel's Shark Week tonight at 9pm and watch the most compelling creature on the planet in action!

Bummy Photography



My boyfriend is such a talented photographer. Here are some shots he took of me in our hometown of Santa Barbara, CA (BEST place in the world) on a stormy day this past winter. These photos were shot on a vintage Hasselblad camera and are all film images. Check out more of his work at www.bummy.biz






Don't Park Under a Palm Tree

Last week I was in La Jolla for some work stuff. Stumbled across this when I was walking down the road. What a bummer! The pic doesn't really do it justice but the window is completely smashed in. Hope their insurance covers this.



iPHONE 4

Apple til death! I am obsessed with my iPhone and I will fight you if you try to say that your obviously inferior Blackberry is better. Despite all of the vicious lies and rumors circling about poor service coverage and dropped calls, I have had better service with iPhone 4 than my previous 3GS. Nice try Blackberry but your lies didn't work. Apple still sold a whopping 1.7 million phones in only the first three days! Last month, I waited in line for 14 HOURS to get iPhone 4 and it was worth every second! With my new facetime feature I can video chat with my friends around the world for free! People say it's crazy to wait in a fourteen hour line but all you need is a lawn chair, some music and a bottle of wine. Make a day out of it...or pick up your own phone at http://www.apple.com/iphone/



VIVA LA FURIA ROJA!

FINALLY! After twenty-one years of waiting, Spain has won the World Cup! I know this post is a little late but I only just got a blog and I've been dying to post these pics somewhere! My dad's whole family is from Spain and my last name is Aragon so naturally, I was raised watching soccer. So it comes as no surprise that I am positively exuberant over this victory and so proud to be a Spaniard! Congratulations to Iker Casillas, Fernando Torres, David Villa, Xavi Alonzo, the rest of the team and the entire nation of Spain! VIVA LA FURIA ROJA DE ESPANA! CAMPIONES DEL MUNDO!!








KEEP ME HOLIDAY

Last week I shot a look book for Keep Me, a lounge-ware company based out of Malibu. The designers are incredible girls who enjoy wearing luxuriously comfortable clothes while still looking fabulous. The line just came out with some AMAZING new stuff! Check it out at http://www.keepme.com/ and look out for me in the holiday lookbook! (sneak peek below)




FAKE HIPPIES IN VENICE BEACH

I hate it how people who live in Venice think they are such hippies. Just because you moved here from the midwest, bought a longboard skateboard and go to yoga once a week does NOT make you a flower child. WAKE UP! You live in one of the biggest cities in the country! You wanna be a hippie? Move up into the mountains and eat berries and sleep in a tree. And for God's sake take a bath!

DESPICABLY AWESOME



Just came back from the movies with a revelation: Despicable Me is the BEST movie ever! I love animated movies but this one was really a treat. Check out the trailer at apple.com below and please don't miss out on this heart-warming film. http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/universal/despicableme/

BLOG NOUVEAU

I have never had a real job. I have never been to Hawaii. I love animated movies. I have been all over the world and still haven't found what I'm looking for. Sometimes my life feels like a tv show. I LOVE candy! I have an opinion about everything and I will post those opinions on my blog. Welcome to Lucy's World!
