The number 6

Celebrated this weekend with the boy for our 6 years together. Went to our usual yearly spot, Formaggios, where we wined and dined.  If drinking wine that night wasn't enough for us, we headed over to the market to peruse the wine aisle to add to our collection. It's been chilly here (by chilly I mean it reached below 65 degrees here in hawaii), so I bundled up in a sweater and leather pants for my outfit.  I miss cold weather, it reminds of my time living in LA.

A new year means a new beginning to relationships. This year we promised each other to start the year with a fresh start filled with love, respect and plenty fun :) 2010 was rough, now we can only look into the future with an open mind and heart for each other.

Hope everyone had a great twenty eleven. How fast this year went by. Read this quote on a bloggers page this morning and what a great mind set to start off the new year.

When I'm old and dying, I plan to look back on my life and say, 'Wow, that was an adventure,' not 'Wow, I sure felt safe."

Do not disturb

Happy Belated Christmas everyone.

I've been thoroughly enjoying my vacation so far.  One more week left of more relaxing, over indulging, sloth-ish behavior, and drinking festivities before heading back to reality.. SIGH. 


Checked out the new Forever21 Grand Opening day in Waikiki-- 3 stories full of clothes clothes and more clothes.  This is my kind of shopping I must say.  For a girl who owns a billion striped shirts, I still continue to buy MORE.  I walked out not damaging my wallet too hard.

Headed towards the East side of the island, Kailua, which also happened to be the same area the Obama family are staying for their family vacation.  Sadly, no Obama sighting and horrible weather all week which explains the gloomy pictures.  Went to this far side of the island to pick up a few items and to finally have my long anticipated lunch date with the boy.  With our navigation system in hand, we found our destination! Uahii Island Grill.  One word:  deeeelicious.

Hope everyone has a safe and festive New Years Eve!! 

I know I will be enjoying lots and lots of champagne drinking :)

Loves It : Gold

Been obsessing over gold accesories, particularly jewelry for years now, and still going strong.. something about it just makes a simple outfit like a LBD pop with the right gold accessories.  Statement versus simple -- i think every girl needs both?

So simple. chic. minimal.

1. Gorjana Tusk Pendant Necklace

2.  Gorjana Knox Necklace

3. Marc by Marc Jacobs ring

Weekend is finally here!  

Perhaps its time to start on some christmas shopping this weekend.. Sometimes I feel like Christmas should be more of quality time spent with other than gift giving, which is probably the reason I tell friends no gift exchanging and I'd much rather have a nice lunch/dinner date with them to catch up.. :)  

I am ready for the mall madness. Bring it. 

My Happy Train

What happens when you're having too much fun and not worrying about taking photos... means no blog to update. Aiyeee.  It's been awhile since i've updated. So here goes..

 UO Silk blouse, f21 leather shorts, Sam Edelman pumps, Givenchy bag

- Checked out Edition Lobby bar & Crazybox, hence the poor quality camera phone picture
- Feasted on 2 plates of Thanksgiving food
- Still fighting the thanksgiving belly bulge
- The usual bar hopping on the weekends in Waikiki - RumFire & Genius.
- Got lash extensions done
- Looking forward to Christmas feasting and New Years plans
- Hoping my happy train keeps choo choo-ing :)

Christmas is coming which means presents to buy for myself :) surprisingly my xmas list is short this year which is probably due to alot of things beyond my budget.sigh, but in the meantime, my list for santa :)

Lanvin ankle strap heels
Sultra Bombshell curling rod
Asos for Mawi necklace

Happiness.

This past weekend I was blessed to be part of a beautiful wedding between my cousin Jennifer and her now husband Garrett.  She of course looked beautiful and the wedding was gorgeous. Unfortunately no camera, but this picture sums it all up.

Stayed at the TRUMP Honeymoon suite with the bridesmaids the evening before wedding. 3 rooms, 4 baths, kitch. Amazing.  Felt like a ballller drinking Dom Perignon and Cristal for the first time:)

I've only been to 2 weddings in my lifetime (being only 26, many of my friends have yet to tie the knot), and of those 2 I really believe that they are meant for each other. Ups and downs, but petty things don't get in the way.

I hope to one day find the kind of happiness they found in each other with someone.  Happiness with someone 5 years down the line to 50 years down the line, is hard to find, but once you've found it, hold on to it.

Pin up girl and ring leader

Halloween was not what I anticipated this year. Here was my day I had planned in mind:

    1. Did not plan to pass out treats to the neighborhood kids or go out with friends
    2. Intended on enjoying a nice glass of red wine and watching a scary movie in bed
    3. I had no costume prepared, thus the 2 things noted above.

So reality hit, and here's what went down on Saturday night:
  - The boy unexpectedly said he would go out
  - He fell asleep.  To compensate for him being a flake, I agreed to go out since they were already on their way to our house
  - Out the door in 5 minutes with my 10am makeup and  friends costume circa 2009. 
  - Went out and had some tipsy fun.  Again, forgetting camera this year, had to bust out the camera phone.
  - Realized I'm getting old for this stuff and I'd rather a host a party in the future.

Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloweeeeeeen.

 (sorry for the poor quality and lack of pictures from the camera phone)

Forget the clothes, I want the shhooooooz..

Ever since I saw the Isabel Marant Spring 2010 Poppy pumps on the runway, I fell in love with the pointed toe shoes once again. Yay for comebacks
