Spruce up your Monday!

Rather than being a Debbie Downer because it's a Monday, I'm sprucing things up today with hot pink and cheetah. Woke up to a shocking 36 degrees so bear with me if you can feel me shivering in the pictures. After this quick photoshoot, I decided to throw on a pair of black leggings. Unfortunately I was on a dash so didn't get a chance to take the picture with leggings. boo.

What do you guys think? Would you wear this outfit with or without leggings?





Ugh! Tried a new way to take pictures and it didn't work!

Paint the town red...

Yesterday was an extremely windy day where I buried myself in scarves (yes two scarves) and a coat and I was still cold! =/ Okay maybe I'm over exaggerating because I realize I'm complaining about the 50 deg temp here where there are blizzards in other parts of the world!

The sun was out this morning and barely any wind. It was a nice start for a Fri Fri Friday!

Tonight I'm headed out to a networking event with my friend but isn't it sort of ironic to go to a networking event with a friend? Well, she asked me to accompany her so I guess I'm going to paint Downtown red! J/k...

Also, I've just met some lovely bloggers through a super fun link up! Check out the link up through The Tiny Heart's blog here: http://thetinyheart.blogspot.com/2013/01/look-what-i-got-link-up-knit-scarf.html

SATC & Sequins

Y'all know when I'm talking about! Sequin handbags and clutches. I fell in love when I first laid eyes on Carrie's purple sequin Fendi handbag. LOVE at first sight. That was more than 6 years ago.



Today I'm still wanting one but never got around to getting one or maybe I just haven't found one that has been comparable maybe? 

I must get one! I'll more than likely pick up the one in gold below. What do you gals think? I mean about Carrie's Fendi one or even the ones below?

Oh, btw, I grab all of these from Polyvore. Super fun site for shopping and putting any outfit ideas together. Try the site out!

Skulls & Sweaters

Trying to keep it warm today (been a dreary day). 

I truly believe fashion is always recycled and renewed. For example, I was watching a foreign tv show and saw one of the characters wearing a skull scarf. I thought, interesting, never seen a skull scarf. That was 2.5 years ago. 

Fast forward today? The skull scarf is so in! How did the stylist know? Well, maybe it was started in that way... who knows but luckily it did!

Current obsession...

My current obsession? Sequin sweaters! I can't explain it. When I become obsessed with looking for something, I become obsessed!

The thing is, I haven't been able to find it. I've seen some on blogs, some on models, some on tv. But I can't find one that I want. Help!

Do you guys have a current obsession you guys can't let go of now? Here are some runner ups but still none have capture my attention...

Where would you go?

Nothing like a casual Friday to kick off relaxing for the weekend due to hectic festivities that ended 2012. It's warmed up just a tiny bit in CA, a whopping 72 degrees high today. I'm pretty sure soo many are hoping for out there. 

Have you gals ever thought of living anywhere besides where you are now? For example, I've thought of living in a rural area, something completely different from the CA lifestyle, but didn't know which city would sit me best... hmm, have to give this some thought. 

Would you live out of country even? I heard Singapore is beautiful and easy place to live and adapt to. Or how about Switzerland where I've read has an above average standard of living?

Anyways, just a ponder here and there... here's what I'm sporting today.

New Year, New Beginning

Happy New Year lovelies of the lovelies!

As a lot of people are putting out there, where did 2012 go? What has been accomplished in 2012? Not much I can tell ya. The worst part is I have a quote I ripped out of a magazine to motivate myself right in front of my desk, I try to remind myself everyday... "Start believing in your destiny. All the great ones do. If you can't, 2012 will be just another year." Do I believe? To every core in my body! Did I follow it? None the least to say...=/

This quote will be updated to say 2013! Here's to best coming to everyone in 2013. I literally mean it. I have to get it through my head that even if I might not necessarily have what I see others have but it still makes me so thrilled to see others happy.

Also, I've just met some lovely bloggers through a super fun link up! Check out the link up through The Tiny Heart's blog here: http://thetinyheart.blogspot.com/2013/01/look-what-i-got-link-up-knit-scarf.html
