A good friend is cheaper than therapy...

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've posted. Did everyone have a great weekend? I hope so! Well, I had a nice weekend with my family and friends. It was nice to see one of my old friends Deborah this weekend, she lives in SF because she's going to fashion school. So it's always great to see her because she's so stylish, she inspires me, plus I love talking to her about everything. She's super awesome she's just one of those friends that you can talk to about anything to and then helps you out with your problems! I was just really happy to see her this weekend while she was down for spring break. I actually had yogurt with her earlier today! Well i wish i took a picture with her today but I didn't bring my camera. But yeah it was nice because I can talk to her about fashion and I actually told her about this blog and she was so supportive. Which made me feel really good to tell someone that was very supportive of it.

This was the outfit that I wore today, I didn't feel like dressing up. It was a pretty warm day today during the day but it was really cold later in the day. So that's why i wore the tights, plus I'm not that comfortable wearing shorts without them. I also had no clean jeans that's why i decided to wear shorts. :p

But yeah what I'm wearing is Old Navy both shirts and tights, vest from Ross, shorts from walmart, boots from swap meet, necklace from forever 21, bracelet from philippines and headband made by me.


Here's a closer picture of the headband I made and another one of my mahjong bracelet.

Happy St. Patrick's Day...

Hey everyone, It's St. Patricks Day! Did everyone wear green? Well I decided to post an OOTD, I went outside today to take my pictures because it was so nice and sunny. But while taking these pictures I almost got stung by a bee because you see the tree behind me there were a bunch of bee's that I didn't notices till after the first shot. The second shot I don't know if you can see but i look a little nervous. hehe But yeah it was really hot again today, I actually even put my fan on in my room today because I was sweating. :p


Shoes and shirt from Old Navy, sweater - Target, skirt- made by mom, necklace - thrifted, bracelets - f21, headband- DIY


This headband is one that I just made recently. If you've followed my blog, I wrote about a Matthew & Melka and how I loved there headbands. One of the headbands I showed was this white headband with a white flower, this is my interpretation of it. I actually really like the way it came out. You can look at the older post here and tell me what you think about my interpretation. But yeah this is the first time I'm posting a close up picture of myself, I think I look really awkward in the picture. hehe But yeah it's the only way I could really show the headband.

Well have a great St. Patrick's Day everyone and be safe!!! :)

My new decoden phone case

Hey everyone!!! Thank you to all the new followers and everyone that is leaving comments, I was so surprised when I signed on and saw I had so many new followers. It really put I big smile on my face! :D

On another note I've been working on my decoden phone case. I learned about decoden when i saw Candice of Cupcakes & High Heels post about it on her blog awhile ago and I've been planning on doing it myself because it's so expensive if you were to buy an already made one, plus I haven't seen anyone make a decoden case for my type of phone. So i've been collecting things to use to deco my phone and I finally sat down and worked on it. This is the result of my decoden phone. It took me a few hours but I'm really happy with the turn out!!! :)


Here's a picture of the front and back of my phone.


I love it but it's so bulky and i keep thinking things are going to fall off, plus my phone slides so I get scared each time i slide my phone open. But I think i'll get used to it soon. I keep my phone in a little pouch now just to make sure it's a little safer. Let's see how long i'll keep the case on! hehe

DIY: Headband Holder

So I don't know about you but I have a lot of headbands because i was so into them before and i think i might start wearing them again when winter is over and its spring. But I stopped wearing them and they have been just sitting on my desk and I tried putting them in a shoe box but they wouldn't fit. So I searched online to try to find something that i can make or use to hold my head bands and there were a few things that I found but none of them seemed enough for me because I seriously have a lot of head bands.

So I went to target today and looked around and I went into the curtain section because I was looking at curtains because i wanted to get some for my room. Then i noticed the bars that they have to put up curtains and I thought those would be so great to put my head bands on. So I looked at the different kinds and I ended up buying this (curtain rod) and it came with two different rods and i noticed only had two brackets because it was suppose to be a double rod so i got some extra brackets like these (brackets). The curtain rod was only $2.99 and the extra brackets were on clearance for $0.68, so it was around $4.

So this is how the rod's looked in my room! I put them on top of one another because I figured that it would help keep the headbands on the rod instead of slipping off.


Here's how it looks with all my headbands on it. It barely held all my headbands, a lot of them are overlapped but it really did work well with keeping them organized and off my desk. So I'm really happy with the outcome. Now if i only I can find away to store all my hats. :)
