Miss Hanna Beth

daydreaming, love bites & endless hours.

she's lost control again. 

does true love exist anymore? love seems so plastic in this sleepless town.. my mind has been wondering. sleepless nights are becoming an everyday routine. i have become the definition of a night owl. i prefer night time.. the moon is out.. i am not being blinded by the sun.. i am thinking about a million things.. it is even hard to just focus right now and type.. i constantly want to be working, creating.. i cant be satisfied just sitting here with the television on. i need to be inspired. i need to meet people who inspire me & who strive for similar things in life. i need people with edge, risk.. people who know how to live.. how to love.. a true friend. a true love. why is that so rare? when you find it, you hold on tight. things slip away so easily.. the nights are anxious, especially at the late hours. i tried to fall asleep around midnight.. but my mind got to thinking.. it took over and now her i am. on my couch, listening to the smiths & updating my blog. this week is going to be non stop.. go go go they say.. keep on track. mind of matter. tomorrow i am in the studio. i love mark, he is a true musical inspiration. tuesday i am doing some fashion event for buzznet with that girl kristin from the hills.. i've never seen the show.. so... yeah... haha.. wednesday i am shooting the music video for annie automatic, thursday is a fashion shoot & i am to take my car in for a check up. and the beat goes on.. and on.. and on..

today molly, rich royal & i decided to take it easy and have a pool side afternoon. greg had people over for drinks, swim time and bbq.. it was the perfect sunday.. last night i somehow ended up dancing at dianas, my neighbors, until about 5 a.m. we had people over and the night was alive. during the day i ran some errands & met up with my mom for a bite at cafe primo.. we made a quick stop into madison where i got some white doc martins.. i love them.. punk 77.. after madison i stopped by dita to pick up some new shades jeff had for me. i got an amazing pair of white reading glasses and some black sunnies.. john & jeff are the best.. they are the partners who own dita.. classic. 

love bettie page... such killer style..

if you could change something going on in your life right now what would it be & why? 

hope everyone had a wonderful weekend 

xoxo

my new obsession of the week? the new black lipstick mac makeup put out. so chic. 

the whole new style black collection from mac is amazing.. goth meets chic.. very rock n roll.. i love it.. do you? my pop up store is finally closed.. i had so much fun putting it together, & thanks again to everyone who came out. it was such a great experience. i love fashion, i have ever since i was a little girl. to be able to do a store with all the things i love was a dream come true.. i'm glad i got to share it with everyone.. since i do have a few items left over i decided i will sell them online & ship world wide.. the items will be up next week for sale. 

not really sure what's going on with my hair in those photos.. i was sorta a mess so i just thought to through it up in a hat.. haha. next week i am shooting with my friend french for his band Annie Automatics new music video. i'm playing the lead role. the video is going to be shoot very raw & edgy. can't wait to see how it turns out. tomorrow i am meeting with the stylist for a fitting for the video.. have to make sure the look is just right. monday i am back in the studio.. have been doing tons of writing. trying to stay a busy girl. tonight is the teen vogue party.. might stop by for a bit & then hit up roosevelt for teddys. vogue has always been one of my favorite fashion magazines, ever since i was little. molly is finally back from the hospital, i really missed her, so nice to have her back. you don't realize how valuable your life is until you deal with something like what she is going through. you really can't take life from granted.. instead of worrying about everyone else, worry about yourself & what makes you happy. i am so sick of everyone being negative.. they don't know how good they have it.. no one wants to give you a pity party my dear.. its time we grow up. how can you hate someone you have never met? have such awful perceptions of someone you haven't even taken time to know? you can't always judge a book by its cover.. i say get to know someone.. get to really know them before you make remarks on them. it might seem harmless to you, but you should put yourself in their shoes.. think about how they feel and what they might be going through.. we all need to stick together.. stop the hate & start to love.. in the end.. thats all that matters.. 

one of my favorite vogue covers..

what is your favorite fashion magazine?

kate moss... gotta love her.. a true style icon..

"i bet that you look good on the dance floor"

last night i got to see the band arctic monkeys preform at the palladium in hollywood with my friend douglas. it had been awhile since i had been to a show i truly enjoyed. after the show i went to tropicana bar at roosevelt. thom yorke from radio head was dj-ing and it was a killer set. i have always loved radio, so it was pretty epic getting to see thom DJ. this morning i had an audition and then went grocery shopping for the apartment. tonight i am thinking about taking it easy.. dinner & a movie? we'll see.. yesterday i had a meeting at mtv around 4 & then met with my lawyer to go over my new contract. tomorrow is my first session with my new personal trainer. i am excited about it.. working out is never a bad thing.. good for the soul in my opinion. 

new loves & lost at sea. sometimes it doesn't even feel like me. 

where would you want to go on a getaway? so escape from the normal?

xxoo

the store was a hit. it took a lot of time & effort to get it all together, but once we were done it was worth it. spent all of friday setting up & then rushed home to get ready for the party. i wore high waisted black shorts with a white crop top & denim studded vest. the party went from 7 to 11. it was so great meeting everyone who came out for the opening & to see a lot of my good friends. the dj's were killer and had the whole place dancing.. i even got to make my own menu for the event! spicy tuna tar tar, veggie burgers, pink champagne, grilled artichoke.. it was all divine. the store is going to be up for about two week, so if you weren't able to stop in at the opening, feel free to come check it out sometime in the next two weeks.

 today i got to meet with my new chiropractor & personal trainers. we went over my new routine & different goals for my work out. i love it there. i have had scoliosis for most of my life, i even had to wear a back brace for a year.. my trainer is going to help me strengthen the muscles around my spine and to make sure i'm alined. it's about time.. haha. tomorrow i have a meeting at mtv at 4 and i am stopping by my store for a bit. finishing the contracts with my new management company.. sent to the lawyer to finalize it all.. golden. anyways.. saturday night was the kenny sharf opening. i loved all his new pieces, especially the ones with the donuts.. very talented.. after the opening molly & i went to the after party dinner at ebaldi in beverly hills. ended our night under the stars up in the canyons, listening to the ultimate playlist while sipping martinis next to a color changing pool. 

what did you think of the mtv music awards? i always find award shows a little boring but i thought lady gaga's performance was absolutely fantastic. she is such a brilliant artist & definitely knows how to take it to the next level. the whole kanye west incident was a bit much.. but i feel that people are making a bigger deal out of it than it actually was. i do feel bad for taylor though, i would be pretty bummed if someone interrupted my acceptance speech just to mention one of the other nominees. i loved how through out the show lady gaga had about 4 different wardrobe changes.. if i was her i would do the same.. each outfit was amazing in it's own way.. she took it there to say the least.. 

if you could open your own store for two weeks, what kind of store would it be?

also, what was your favorite performance of the music awards?

xxoo

less than 24 hours till my opening.. the nerves are starting to hit.. i just want it to be perfection. waking up at 10a.m. to go set up. meeting all the other artists & designers to get everything together & placed. i never thought i'd get to have my own store.. but here it is.. and tomorrow it's reality.. dreams do happen.. you just have to fight for it. keep working for what you want.. not what others want.. i finally got antibiotics today.. i haven't been feeling well for the past two weeks.. i thought if i waited it out i would start to feel better... guess not.. my brother thomas leroy was born today.. 6 pounds.. i can't believe i have 3 younger brothers now.. i feel blessed.. saturday is the jeff koons art exhibit opening & dinner. can't wait to see all his new pieces.. a very talented man..

this los angeles heat just seems to be getting worse & worse.. i am ready for a cold rainy day. 

i'm in need of a good new book to read..

any suggestions? what was the last book you read?

xxoo
