So this is what I wore tonight for the little jazz concert I attended. After taking this picture I realized I had a gigantic hole on the calf part of my pants so sadly I have to throw these amazing pants away. I'm actually pretty disappointed about it but that's what I get for shopping at XXI. Smh. I changed into a black skirt and added a patent black with gold accent belt.

Happy Mothers Day<3

Happy Mother's Day to all them hot mamas out there. Made breakfast for my mother then we all attended service. After that, my family spent the afternoon in dtwc to go shopping. My mom bought some super cute sandals from Tory Burch and Sam Edelman. I got some Report and Steve Madden sandals that are TO DIE FOR. You'll see them when I do a ootd soon:p Today's ootd consists with a H&M heart crop top, XXI belt and skater skirt(I got the skirt for $13, which to me is way better than the AA one!) and of course my Zara heels to add some color to this outfit!

Hola everyone. Happy Cinco de mayo boobears. Today's ootd consisted of a pair of BLACKMILK leggings<3 this was the first time wearing these so I was pretty stoked about it(: it was overcast today in the Bay Area, so I decided to wear the Burned Velvet Leggings and a Forever 21 sleeveless mint knit that I got on sale for $7! This knit doesn't really flatter my body so I decided to add a simple black with an rose gold accent skinny belt right where my ribcage starts. To make it even more flattering, I pulled the remaining bunch of fabric to the back creating little waves to flatter my booty that I don't got:P I wore my favorite Zara sandals for that pop of orange. Gold Tiffany&Co necklace, gold diamond cross earrings, and a MK rose gold tortoise watch to finish it off.

Movie night 04.26.13

Had work all day today, so after I got off my boyfriend decided to treat me to the movies(: we went to go watch oblivion yesterday; finally right? To me that movie was like all the Terminators combined but with a shit loads of mind fucks. There was three mind fuck moments throughout that movie; my boyfriend counted. Lol. Other than that, it was a really good movie.
So my ootd/ootn is pretty much all thrifted. Under my black see through sweater, I wore a bodysuit that is light great with white lining. Paired that with high waisted shorts; which was perfect for just during the day due to the hot weather. When it got colder, I threw on my black sweater; rolling the sleeves and tucking in just the front. I added a white skinny belt to contrast the white lining on my bodysuit that you can just barely see. Lol. I then wore my new maxi vest(which I absolutely love at the moment) hoping it would keep me warm all night; and surprisingly it did! This is a must have piece in every girls closet. Seriously. My shoes are obviously Jeffrey Campbell pony haired litas. Seriously my all time favorite shoes.

04.24.13

My most simple ootd is pairing highwaisted shorts with a cute crop top and to fancy up the outfit, I always add a pair of heels with it.
The top is from American One. I believe I purchased this top for like $8.99? The bottoms are unfortunately from a small boutique in Japan. Shoes are from Cathy Jean but was purchased last year, but from experience they tend to bring out similar items each year. $79.99 for the shoes.

I'm really sorry for all the bustier ootd's. I've just been so Summer deprived that I've been loving the bustier outfit layouts.(: I'll start posting more pictures of everyday outfits I put together.:* Both bustiers are from XXI. Both shorts are from Nasty Gal. As for the shoes; Jeffrey Campbell Pony Hair Litas. Girls, if you don't own a pair of litas yet, your feet hate you right now. Best investment ever. Super comfy and walkable! I can stand in these for hours.<3

The Bay to LA

March 31st, 2013-April 2nd, 2013 my mom, dad, and little brother went on a 'roadtrip' down to LA for a couple of days. On Easter sunday, my dad got baptized HALLELUJAH. My mom was ecstatic, tears can't even explain how happy she was.(: After service, we went to eat lunch with my grandma(dads side) Soon after our lunch we headed home to drop my dog off to a family friends house and off we drove to LA. The drive down from the Bay to LA was about a 5 and a half hr drive so it was pretty decent. Arriving there around 630pm we checked in at the Hilton in Beverly Hills right across from Universal Studios. We ate dinner in K-town (ofcourse) fresh sashimi(raw fish) and soju was on HIT MODE. 04/01/13 So the main reason why we came down to LA was to visit Universal Studios for the first time! I've been there when I was younger, but don't remember a thing. My brother, finally tall enough to go on the rides, was sh*tting his pants with excitement. LOL. I took him there from 10am-7pm, while my folks went to a korean style spa getting massages, facials, and a nice exfoliated scrub. I was jealous of my parents getting pampered but absolutely had a blast with my little brother. We got there early so not many people have arrived yet. We purchased a yr round pass. . .even though we don't even live in LA haha. My dad's friend hooked us up with 5 front of the line passes; which we really used for our benefit. First thing we did, well the first thing I did was purchase me and my boo bracelets engraved with our names in it.<3 Shortly after that, we headed to the Transformers ride!! at 10am the wait for that ride was 45min; but luckily we had our passes. We got on the ride within a minute of us getting to the attraction! Universal Studios really did show what talent they have. The 3-d was AMAZING. I kept flinching thinking that it was actually gonna hit me.:P We then rode Jurassic Park, the mummy, then ate lunch at Mels Diner, where I took a pic with Elvis!xP after that we decided to go on Tour of Universal Studios. We saw a shitload of stuff so I won't even mention that, but I got to see Wisteria Ln!!!! Went crazy over that. After the tour we rode the Transformer ride again, the mummy another two times, and also the Jurassic Park another three times. We then finished our day watching the Waterworld Show and then headed back to the hotel to go eat dinner. 04/02/13 My brother and I woke up early to go swimming, then got ready to go eat bfast; korean style. As we went to K-town for bfast, we soon headed towards the Chinese Theatre. We then went to Rodeo dr and the whole family decided to buy running shoes of all things at the nike store. lol. After that we went to eat lunch at K-town AGAIN and then went grocery shopping so we would have food when we got home that night. The ride back definitely seemed longer than it was coming down there. All and all, it was a great family trip, and can't wait to go somewhere tropical next time.<3
