Red White and Blue

Much needed 3 day weekend is finally here. Enjoying it with bbq grilling, eating and drinking.  Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

  Currently trying out a messy bun with loose wavy curls in the front -- inspiration from my style inspiration, Oliva Palermo.

the most ridiculous car lol

 

 

 Attempted to make my own Phillycheesesteak sandwich for lunch.  Trying to replicate DnB's philly cheesesteak which didn't turn out as good as I was imagining it to be, but the BF said it was deeeelicious, so I'll pat myself on the back.   Note to self: add more cheese.  Baked (not fried) some crispy fries. YUM.

Ingredients:

French bread

Mushrooms, onions, and green bell peppers

Thinly sliced ribeye

Provolone slices

Salt & Pepper

studded top (urban), leather leggings (f21), cardigan (gap), DV heels

Enjoying the end of the work week with a must needed drink and appetizers. Happy hour should be a mandatory weekly gathering, much like Spain's daily siesta.

Wearing my new nude aldo wedges -- although you can barely see it. I love love them and oh so comfortable to walk in. Will take better pictures (i'm horrible at remembering to take pictures.  I always forget that I have my new camera phone with me)

Pins and Needles blazer and shorts, silk vintage top (moms), Aldo wedges

Cheap Thrills

I've been lusting over these Cynthia Vincent Wedges for Target ever since its release date last month, and I finally own the coveted pair.

I normally don't go gaga over Target collaborations with designers, but Cynthia Vincent practically knocked off her own design, normally priced at $300-$400, and being that wedges are in this Spring, I HAD to have them.  Granted, these aren't very extraordinary or spectacular, but girls gotta have  selection when deciding on an ensemble.

Happy Mothers Day! 

Enjoyed the day with the familia with a nice dinner at Ichiriki. Yum.

Tiny Bubbles

Received Bitch Bubbly as a gift (thanks sum!) and opened it tonight -- bubbly to accompany my Tuesday night show lineup, The Hills and The City (yes, I watch them). 

The back label made me laugh.  

Good Night!

1-2-3

Love to venture into new places and check out new things.

Downtown was once my after-work playground, but recently due to the overabundance of police check-points, this part of town remains to be a rare outing.  Fine eateries such as Soul De Cuba (verdict: good!) was on our list as well as bar hopping to my usual 39Hotel and discovering new places like BambuTwo --- to which I was a bit dissapointed!

BambuTwo

Also ventured out into another part of the city I rarely visit, Waikiki.  With my fair complexion and  tourist-like appearance, I could easily be mistaken as a tourist - *peace sign*.  Doing what I do best, I enjoyed a brief and quick shopping fix before continuing the drinking festivities.

Learning from the pro's -- taking a cab into waikiki is ideal. 

   

Again, with the bubbles. Love it.

Age is just a number

Another year older? Yes. Another year wiser? Perhaps.  Another year more accomplished?  hmmm...still working on that.

(why do I sip champagne so oddly?)

Thai Food (one of my favorites), Bubbles (a must for every anniversary and birthday occasion) and Chocolate Haupia pie (extracted all the whip cream off before taking a bite into this delicious dessert)

Skipped the fine dining this year, and instead had an intimate and quiet dinner at home with the bf. Dress up will need to be saved for upcoming festivities.  Also, pigged out Jambong, Creampot and cupcakes (thanks familia and coworkers).  Geezus, I really really really need to hit the gym again!

Getting older means a must needed 2pm nap on the weekends and feeling 'oh so good' after sipping on 2 cocktails.  It's actually pretty awesome. I'm not complaining about getting old.  I mean who wants to stay 22 years young forever?  I can't wait to get old,  retire and take memorable trips with the lover. Dolce Vita.

Boyfriends

Been on blog hiatus.. or call it laziness and forgetfulness.  In any case, it's time for an update!

Love the boyfriend trends: blazer, jeans, shirt and oxfords!

I own all except the jeans.. I prefer clean lines versus the shabby chic look.  I finally got a pair of oxford flats a couple weeks ago.  Been searching for what feels like an eternity to find a cute pair doesn't look too "manly" and not priced at $100+.  I also purchased a pair of cute oxford heels. excited. Perfect to wear on a casual day out.

Been on a shoe craze lately. 

I ♥ them so much, I'm putting in another order for the ivory  :)

Also loving MAC's lipstick color in Creme Cup and Chatterbox.  The perfect 'pink' pout for Spring.
