Hello everyone,

This weekend involved the most unproductive act ever: walking in the dog park, eating Marble Slab' peppermint and strawberry ice-cream, hiding away from the high temperature...

I must tell you guys that highwaist short had never been on my list up until now...I find it gave a nice curve and help elongated a petite body like mine...

Hope everyone have a fabulous Monday and stay cool!!!

Aloha...

Nothing more beautiful than a glowing bride in her white gown!

Quick update because I've been such a busy bee lately & neglecting this blog!

So this dress was a steal for less than $20 dollars.
Proving that "YES, you can look chic and be frugal."

They have always had fashion flair.

And I love love love the way they wear their stunning accessories.

This duo is definitely on my top style icons' list!

Sometimes a girl just needs to shop.

Memorial day weekend calls for shopping

& complex carbohydrates.

Auntie Anne's raisin pretzels & lemonade are the perfect combination alongside
a wonderful day of mindless shopping.

happy memorial day bloggers!

Pretty little things.

Sometimes people tend to be such debbie-downers. I wish I could give them this litte hint, "A smile is nature's best remedy!"

Just more random musings & such that I did on my trip to LA.

The GROVE had such a cute Forever21 that I just had to pose in front of for you guys to see.

And Kitson was just adorable. The SAs were super friendly & nice and the clothes were

to die for!

In all, it was a super fun trip with great fashion finds that I will debut on my blog soon.

Until then, happy shopping bloggers!

The BOW factor.

(wearing: F21 stripe tunic [worn as dress], BCBG studded chain bag, F21 jewelry, Franco Sarto shades, & DIBA bow platform sandals)

There's something so girly & fun about bows. And they are showing up just about everywhere...

Shoes, purses, dresses, & even on jewelry.

I fell in love with these shoes the moment I laid eyes on them.

The perfect straps made into delicate bows, the platform height, & mostly, the little stud detailing on them.

They also came in white but I thought black would be most versatile.

VERSATILE MUCH?

happy blogging readers!

Those shorts again.

Summer days are good for the dog park. That & caramel frappuccinos.

I'm so in love with these BCBG black shorts that are so versatile I had to debut them again.

This time I chose to pair them with a flowy floral top & a cute fedora I found at a random store.

YES, fedoras spell SUMMER.

Part One:

So as summer school is quickly approaching, I decided to take a mini-vacay before the hiatus of late night studying. Nothing fancy or exotic but just sunny California. And to be specific, the infamous City of Angels!

It was a fantastic trip filled with good eats (sushi galore), window shopping (and taking in scenery on Rodeo Drive), great finds on Robertson Blvd & The Grove, & lastly reading Japanese Mags over a cup of ice blended at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

So, I'll just leave you with a compilation of FOOD PORN pictures.

You give me butterflies.

So the hot, humid summer heat calls for loose "bun" hair. I first saw the look from PEOPLE style watch worn by Nicole Richie & thought it would be a cute go to look if you're in a hurry. And boy, is it easy! After air drying my hair after the shower, I just dab on a little BIOSILK to manage the little stray hairs and put the bun in place. It literally took less than 5 minutes to complete the look!

Somewhere between lost and found.

I'm quite sure that some of you out there has notice my absence of posts lately. Rest assure, I'm back from quite the epiphany I had one day over english tea with an old friend. Yes, the life changing decision is a career change that I've decided on & it requires more schooling. More restless nights of non-stop studying & coffee overload! YIPPEE (and I mean that with the utmost sarcastic tone possible). But don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy that I will be moving towards a different chapter in my life. However, I can't let go of this wonderful blogosphere of fashion that has drawn many hours of outfit organizing & posting. And thus, I'm back and with a vengeance. Look forward to more posts in the future. (and yes, I've invested in a beautiful NIKON D5000 just for better viewing pictures).
