flea markets

We spontaneously decided to run down to the fairfax flea market on Sunday for some secret finds and simply just to spark our creativity. I always love going to flea markets and yard sales for some inspirations and ideas because there are collections and pieces from different eras and times, put together can be very broadening to say the least. Ian and I definitely took some concepts home with us and our excited to begin experimenting around putting our ideas to actions.

cheers to the new year

Hope everyone had a welcoming new year. I am excited to see what's in store this year. New year's eve was spent with Ian's family which was lots of fun :)



Here are some of my ideal resolutions, though I don't believe resolutions are just for the new year:

1. Shop wisely.
2. Exercise more.
3. Smarter decisions and sacrifices.
4. Take more photos for memories sake.

Can't wait for classes to begin again and reality to come back though I am enjoying this little vacation break.

sun daygo

Decided to drive my sister to San Diego to surprise her boyfriend while utilizing the time spent with the two closest to my heart, sis and bestie. We took a spontaneous restroom break at San Clemente beach.




Spontaneity is real, there's nothing like the feeling that you can do anything at any time, at any given moment. Life should be full of bucket list ideas. Totally indulged in sushi by the end of the night as well as some sake and a martini, made by mr. knox.




En route to New Years Eve!

christmas this year.

I spent my Christmas this year in Vegas with some friends. There was also a birthday to celebrate :)




It was nice to get together with Sheena's family to relax and spend Christmas together. I also got 3 of the 4 things I listed on my Christmas list.

I learned a couple things about myself the past couple of days which can really help me out in 2011. Ready for new year :)

holiday feelings

The holidays should make most people feel light hearted and jolly for the most part, even with the dent in their wallets after purchasing gifts for their loved ones. I love shopping for others, it's just exciting especially when you're not too sure what to get them, and when that something just shows up in front of you, words cannot explain how perfect the gift will be for that person. I am almost all finished with my Christmas shopping except for the rain is slowing me down and I will be departing for Vegas in a few days. Here is my composed wishlist, just for the record ;)

Toms Grey Wool Fleck Botas

Adidas Workout Tights

Despicable Me DVD

Disneyland Pass

I hope you all will enjoy your holidays with your families or loved ones. Be safe and try to stay dry in this rainy storm weather!

bake + bake.

I finally made it through the 11 week quarter. Though it was a tough one, I made it out alive, and with a 4.0 might I add. Trust me, it was a surprise to me too but it still doesn't change my mind about fashion school. Last night I reunited with one of my close girlfriends to bake some holiday sugar cookies. We didn't check the recipe before we started and shortly realized it was for 64 cookies. We proceeded to avoid having to cut the ingredients in half because c'mon, we're on break, we don't need to be doing math! ;) We took a break for our dough to chill (yes we made them from scratch) and had dinner at boiling crab. Clem and Scott joined us after to save our icing recipe since we were short on sugar. Super bad was hilarous and by the end of the night, we were chillin' ;)
