Street style in SoHo

Him: Uniqlo shirt, UO jacket, Levi's Jeans, & Cole Haan shoes 

Her: Zara dress, Nasty Gal coat, UO boots, & Marc by Marc Jacobs bag

The boyfriend and I went to New York City to celebrate our 10th year anniversary. Initially, we planned on going to Maui/Oahu, but the fact that we were in Oahu in August made us realized that NYC was our best option. To be honest, it came down to Ululani's shave ice in Maui or macarons from Laduree. Laduree won (though I think we would have saved a LOT of money had we went to Maui- can't bring shave ice back home). 

The trip was surprisingly short and the boyfriend got food poisoning towards the middle of the trip and the day before our anniversary. We had to cancel our reservations at Morimotos! Sucks but we're definitely looking forward to Europe especially since we're making a quick stopover back in NY to make up for our spectacular anniversary in our hotel room at the Eventi haha.

las vegas, july 2010

Spent a couple days in Vegas to celebrate the boyfriend's 23rd birthday. Couldn't ask for an amazing trip with good company. Sweating in 100 degree weather. Checking in early at the Luxor. Mango Fat Tuesdays (extra shot) in one hand and a jalapeno pretzel on the other (TWICE!). Knocking out after two hours. $30 cab rides to Chinatown and back for cheap $4.95 food. Checking out early in the morning. Eggs Benedict from Hash House A Go Go. Mimosas. Fashion Show Mall. Shopping at Zara and ending up with a pair of camel colored trousers and black leggings. Finding a Vegas Hello Kitty at the ABC Store (reminds me of good times in Hawaii!). Checking in at Excalibur. Pool side. Sugar Factory. Driving down the strip at dusk. THE BUFFET AT THE WYNN! Wynn Signature Punch with Rum. Food Babies. Loud nights with eight people in one room. Checking out. Mr. Cashman slot machine. Fashion Show Mall for the ABC Store and Food Court. HOME.

To be honest, I'm not much of a Vegas girl and the weather was TERRIBLE. Flips flops over heels for the win. I'm not much of an alcoholic (like most people I know haha). Plus, it's too expensive for drinks and I'd rather use it towards yummy food. Can't wait till San Francisco next month. Weather will be oh so wonderful, food will be oh so tasty, and new clothes in my closet will be oh so beautiful.

If you can't already tell, my interest has slowly shifted from fashion and clothes to food and traveling. Sure, I have my share of shopping but not as much as it used to be. After many trips to Buffalo Exchange and realizing how much money I've wasted, I just can't keep wasting money on disposable clothing. I already have enough of that to last me for awhile. It just breaks my heart to know that the one thing that I've loved the most for so long isn't my number one priority right now. But until I can afford Marc by Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Chloe, and all the beautiful clothes both vintage and designer, traveling and food will do for now.

wedding?

My boyfriend and I have been together for seven and a half years and the subject of marriage, weddings, and kids are always brought up (not just between ourselves, but others continuously asking when are we going to tie the knot). To be honest, it's more of us not ready to give up everything that we have going on now just yet. We're young and we won't be young for long so kids are definitely out of picture for the next ten years or so. Marriage, on the other hand is a different story. I love planning our future wedding. We plan on getting married in New York, engagement photos in Central Park, pretty ethereal dresses, beautiful centerpieces with New York's skyline in the background, and a honeymoon in Bora Bora. We're (or at least I am haha) aiming within four maybe five years. It will be definitely be an exciting chapter in our lives.

time for fun

boyfriend and I messing around, june 2009

In the past two weeks, I've worked nearly 30 hours a week, wrote a 6 page paper on affirmative action in 5 hours, studied for an ethics midterm, and went to an optional class (twice) to finish my Excel assignments. Who knew that using Windows Vista would be so complicated? I always thought I was proficient in Word and Excel, but this class told me otherwise. Ahhh, as a result of an extremely stressful two weeks, I caught a cold and all I've done (besides work and school) was recovered on my couch and watched TV. With that being said, I'm going to have some fun in the next few weeks:

1. disneyland
2. eat porto's
3. santa monica
4. venice beach
5. grub on crepes
6. getty museum
7. eat KBBQ
8. melrose
9. ROSE BOWL FLEA MARKET!
10. mission san juan capistrano
11. san diego zoo
12. miniature golfing
13. paulette macarons
14. go biking at the beach
15. dine at thai town
16. pink's hot dogs
17. yogurtland, all day everyday
18. go thrifty in LA
19. kayak
20. snowboard before it melts
21. panvimarn thai cuisine with friends
22. LA food adventure with friends

I came to the conclusion that because all I've been doing lately is either school or work, I've never had that time to document my outfits. That will change my friends!

may 2005

The BF and I will be celebrating our 7th year anniversary pretty soon. We're going to have a picnic brunch on our actual anniversary and have dinner at Napa Rose in Disneyland the following day. Apparently, Napa Rose is closed for a convention on our actual anniversary so I had to make reservations for the next day. Anyway, I've heard so many amazing reviews for the restaurant, we are both so eager to see what it has in store for us (and it doesn't hurt that my cousin and his GF are frequent diners there and know pretty much all the chefs there!)!

Anyway, I came across this photo earlier today (along with other polaroids via Poladroid!). This pretty much sums up our relationship! Someone asked me through my formspring if I could post more of my lovely BF. Expect more!

Ask me a question!

disneyland #1

disneyland, november 2009

The BF and I try to make it to Disneyland once a week (yay for annual passes!) but this unexpected spurt of rain is getting in our way. I really want to go before Christmas though. I'm hoping later on today we'll go if the rain isn't so bad!

ps
I decided to make a label for Disneyland since I go there often. Whoo hoo I LOVE Disneyland!

give thanks

october 2008

Although it's been a tough year and a half, nonetheless, I feel extremely grateful for everything I have now (health, family, boyfriend, job, Curry, etc) and what I used to have (I love you dad!). Hope you all have a splendid Thanksgiving! And hopefully an outfit post will be posted later on today. Same old excuse, but I've been picking up shifts at work and today is pretty much my only day off this week. Thank goodness for that!

something special

new york city, january 2009

I couldn't ask for a better bf when I first met him. My bf and I have been together for 6 and a half years and it has been definitely the best 6 and half years (and counting) of my life. I am thankful I have someone who not only respects me but other women as well. That's why a lot of women confide in my bf when they are going through a tough time (and I'm definitely not selfish when it comes to that). He is also financially independent and has been since middle school haha. The stuff for his car (audio, subwoofer, lights- you name it), his traveling, his food, his bills, he pays pretty much everything on his own. I can't quite remember a time when his parents EVER took him shopping. With that, I learned from him the importance of budgeting my finances (although I'm unsuccessful 75% of them time- but I'm getting there). I know I've found something special in him and I'm never in doubt with our relationship. A lot of times, couples say that they are uncertain with what the future holds (in regards to marriage, spending the rest of your life with your significant other blah blah). I think otherwise. Call me naive and/or ignorant for saying such a statement, but I know how much he cares about me and I know how much I care about him.

This is pretty much stemming from the fact that my bf is overseas with his family and the past couple days have been rough. Throw "pathetic" at me cause there are couples who have been apart for a lot longer than we have, but hey I'm crazy in love with him and I miss him dearly (actually A LOT). AHHH counting down the days till I see him so we can run around Disneyland and laugh and giggle while riding Space Mountain.

happy belated 4th everyone!

today

I spent today at the Getty Villa (which is absolutely amazing) then headed off to Santa Monica Pier to hang out since it was on the way home. Didn't really take a good shot of my outfit cause it was pretty much boring.

Shoes: Frye
