Kept memories
farewell


Hello Lovelies,

Yesterday was one of my monthly luncheons with my besties. We attempt to have one every month to catch up and to just enjoy each other's company. Sometimes you have to schedule the time in or else the only memories you will remember are the ones wasted by apologetic texts or begrudged last minute cancellations. We started our day with a rooftop lunch at K'ya in Laguna beach. This is by far one of best places I have been to that offered great food that was paired with a breathtaking scenery. If anything, the experience was worth the three flights of stairs to get up there. Be prepared for a "Laguna Beach" proceeding; You will encounter overextended wealthy middle-aged power couples and french personnel in mohair Chanel boots, expecting to waited on hand and foot.

When I envisioned this blog entry, I knew i wanted to do an accessory story for the everyday fashionista. Accessories to me are like the bows that top the presents. The wrapping is surely beautifully done, but the bow is what makes the present pop. You can do a heavily accented accessory story, like the one i did, but just make sure it's well complemented. I chose to do a gunmental, mauve, and white combo to accent the grey/ black of my outfit. The accessories are eclectic, but so was my outfit. It fit well with the futuristic look I was trying to accomplish. But overall, you need to have fun with your accessory choices. Whether its a pair of feather-fringed earrings or faux pearl strands, make sure you work the accessories and not the other way around.

It's easier to live in a fantasy then reliving a reality

Just made it before the lunch rush
Sinful thoughts
Pink's famous chili dogs
Once you give a thief food, he always comes back for more.

A line of fallen stars

A melody in the air

Self-reflection

Speaks for itself

To sum the day: Exhilarating with a side of traffic


Hello Lovelies,

This New Year has been a battle between good fortune and forlorn events (mostly my doing). Moving back to Orange County has really opened my eyes to the places that I have taken for granted in the past, especially living in San Francisco. I actually CRAVE the crisp air and spine chilling breeze of the bay city and can't wait to move back in the Fall. But I have realized that complaining about my situation will get me no where, so I will be concocting a survival plan until I go back (I'm up for any tips or suggestions if you have any).

All of the emotions and memories of my past self revitalized itself within the last week and has made me realize the people I have lost during the last transition of my life, most regrettably a relationship with a past lover. But when something that is important to you breaks, you try to fix it, right? Or at least die trying.

2011 for me is about repentance and repairing as well as reinventing and realization. The four "R's" that have become the holy pillars of my life.
