Oh weekends...

Hello everyone!!! I just wanted to say thank you everything that is following me, you guys are the best!!! :) Hope everyone had a great weekend! Don't you think weekends are too short? I know I do!

Well as for the weekend it started on Friday afternoon for me and I helped one of my good friends out by helping her go shopping! She asked me to help her out because she doesn't usually go shopping and she knows I like shopping and I'm into fashion and stuff. So I helped her out and it was really fun to put her in things that she would never pick out for herself and then her liking them. It was so much fun for me, and I'm happy my friend asked me to help her out. Below is the outfit I wore to go shopping...it was really cold that day because a storm was rolling in.


hat & socks-Target, boots - swapmeet, pants and tank-ON, sweater-thrifted, jacket-old, necklace -f21

On Saturday it was raining very hard here and it was even hailing so I was very lazy and I stayed in with my Mom and we watched a bunch of movies. It was nice spending some time with my mom. I didn't even go online the whole day because all I did was watch movies and crochet with my mom! Yay for spending time with my mom!

Today was a much nicer day, I went to babysit for my cousin so she could have a Valentine's date with her husband. Dang I seriously have so much respect for all you moms out there, I watched my nephew who is 3yrs old and my niece that is 8 months and OMG I was so tired after taking care of them. But they are so cute and such a handful to take care of! Above is a picture of my niece and I, she's wearing a beanie I crocheted for her. You can't really see the flower that
s on it, but there's a little flower i crocheted on it.

Wow tomorrow is the start of the spring capsule challenge, I am so not ready for it! We'll see how this works out! :)

I'm so happy I can shout...

Hey everyone! So have you ever had that one piece of clothing that was your absolute favorite and you wore it all the time. The piece of clothing your friends remember about you because you wore it that much because it was your favorite. Well I had one of those and it was a 3 quarter sleeve jean jacket from the gap that I had got on sale my freshman year of college. (which was awhile ago) Well this jacket was my favorite thing in my wardrobe because i wore it with almost everything. I loved it because it was light weight so i could wear it during those hot summer days, I don't about you but I hate my arms so always wear a jacket or sweater of some sort no matter what season it is.



But yeah my jacket I loved it so much, but i wore it so much it started breaking, plus i gained some weight so it got tight. I really didn't want to let go of this jacket, but one day my mom said it was too old and threw it away a few years ago without me knowing . I knew it was time to throw it out but I was sad because it was my favorite piece of clothing.

Well last weekend I took my cousin who was visiting from SF shopping at Ontario Mills (kinda far from me) and we weren't suppose to go into forever 21 but I kinda wanted to because I wanted to check out there faith 21 collection because they don't usually carry that collections at any of the malls near me. So when we go in I was looking for the collection, (should of known it would be in the far corner) but when i got to the section i was surprised at the stuff they had. They had pieces not on the website and I was really impressed! But yeah since I'm super broke I told myself I can buy one item, I was suppose to buy this blue romper thing that i fell in love with when i saw it. But my mom pulled out a jean jacket that was hiding behind some things and OMG it looked exactly like my jacket. I seriously was going to cry when i tried it on because it looked so similar but it fit so nicely. So of coarse I bought the jacket instead of the romper! :)


Here's the jacket.


I didn't think the picture I took gave it justice so I took a picture from the website! It's not something on the website yet but I saw this picture and she's wearing the same jacket. :)

Is there anything in your closet that you really love and you wear all the time? Or something you used to own that you use to wear all the time?

PS Sorry for such a long story and rambling about a Jacket!!!

Tarina Tarantino...

Hey everyone! So i've loved Tarina Tarantino jewelery for awhile now and I was happy when I found out that she teamed up with Sephora and created a makeup line. I knew I had to blog about it because I love her! The line looks cute and girlie which is very Tarina Tarantino with everything pink with studs and bows.


I'm so tempted to buy something, but the good thing is that they are more within my budget then her jewelery. I'm thinking i might try one of her glosses.


Spring Capsule Contest...

It's official I decided to join the Spring Capsule contest by The Small Fabric of My Life. I saw BBM of "Big Beautyful Mess" blog about it and i decided to take a look at it for more details and thought wow looks like a lot of fun so I decided to join. You have to create 5 outfits for 5 days using 10 items of shoes and clothing, but your also allowed 5 accessories. This is going to be hard for me because I love to layer and I love to accessories, but i thought it would be fun to do so I joined. If you would like to find out more information you can click the photo bellow, I linked it to the information regarding the contest. Is anyone else doing the contest too???

Oh so glamourous...

Hey everyone! So I was looking at pictures of my idol Mariel Rodriguez and i saw one of her wearing this specific headband in the picture below and I fell in love with it. It's by the Pilipino designers Matthew & Melka, she's known to wear their headbands all the time and I've always loved them. So i decided to look at their website because I haven't looked in a long time and OMG i loved the headbands i saw they were so beautiful. So i thought I would share some of their pieces with you. It sucks because they are based in the Philippines and I don't think they ship to the states. I actually have loved there other lines, I tried re-creating them on my own since I'm so far. That's why I have such a headband collection and it's kinda like an obsession! hehe


The headband i fell in love with worn by Mariel Rodriguez and a picture of the actual headband. I just think it looks beautiful on her that's why when I saw her wearing this I fell in love with the piece. I just love how it cascades onto one side. I made a headband similar to this but it's not that extravagant.


This is from their recent bridal line but I think its beautiful and I would wear this all the time in the spring. I just love it, i just might try to recreate this!!!



This is just beautiful too, I could wear something like this to something formal.


I loved this one too and I can picture myself putting together an outfit just to wear it!

So yeah their recent line is a bridal collection and the pieces above are all from that collection. I believe they are all sold out already too. But yeah I'm going to link the website just in case you want to see some of their pieces...Matthew & Melka all pictures credits go to Matthew & Melka.

Spring is so close but yet so far...

So the weather here in So Cal is forever changing it was raining the other day and the other day it was in the 70's. So today I went to Long beach to visit some friends and I didn't know how to dress because it looked like it was going to rain but it was hot! So i decided to dress warmer because I know it's cold in Long beach because it's by the beach but i put a spring edge to it wearing my floral shirt i loved last spring. But yeah I didn't take much pictures because it's hard taking pictures in my room but my parent's are asleep already and I don't want to wake them up!


Here's my attempt to take a full shot picture of my outfit = fail!!! hehe


jeans - bitten(steve & Barry), sweater - Old Navy, top - H&M, beret - Target, boots-swap meet, bag - Mom's closet

Here's my other attempt to take a picture, I also took a picture of my boots and combined it on the corner of the picture.

PS excuse my messy room, Im doing my spring cleaning and trying to figure out what to keep and what to throw away.

The happiest place on earth...

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated my blog and did my rounds, I've been busy because my cousin and her husband came down for the weekend. So I've been busy entertaining them and taking them around.

But yeah I went to Disneyland on Saturday and it was pretty late notice but it was free so of course i went! :) I ended up actually getting into Disneyland with 2 of my other friends around 5 and we met up w/ my other friends that were already there. It kinda sucks we got there so late because we weren't able to do that much, but I can't complain it was free and I still had fun! :)


With my best friends since high school right after our first ride, the haunted mansion.


Trying on hats while my other friends went on the tea cup ride. I didn't want to go on it because I know i would get really sick after that ride, I don't like spinning around. But i loved these Minnie ears, they were silver and glittery, but the $20 for them were not in my budget. My friends were wearing the new Mad Hatter hats and it reminded us of Sean White! :)


This is a picture of my friends and I in front of the Castle! :)


Last but not least this was when we watched the fireworks show, this was so amazing!

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
