Two Sides To A Story





H&M Autumn 2011

The Los Angeles Port at San Pedro



I couldn't help myself but to post up a few preview shots from today.

More tomorrow morning before I head out the door, promise!

Update: 8:59pm

We were suppose to see some real life Navy ships but we got there too late. People began lining up and camping out since 3/4am so I guess even though we left at 8am, it was too late. We just ended up walking around the water fountains and such.. I got a delicious dirty churro so that pretty much made my day.

The Last Day


(Olive & Olivia top, Forever21 lace bra, Urban Outfitters shorts, H&M belt & flats, ZARA handbag)

These were taken July 18th, before my hair cut. I love myself that this outfit post was going to be the last of my extremely long hair and it was.

I can't tell you how great it feels to wash my hair now a days.. it could still use some layering since I have such thick hair but it is such a relief to get 10 inches off my shoulders, literally.

I hope you all have been having a great weekend so far. I have another outfit post (& video) coming tomorrow! If you're following me on Twitter, you may have already seen a preview :)

Silky Florals In The Morning


(H&M silk robe)

First, I saw the florals on this silky kimono robe in the intimates/lingerie section. Then, I brushed my fingers against it and held it. Next, I picked it up and thought to myself "Anna, you already have several of these". So I put it back into the rack and walked away. Later, I walk back and purchase it.

I Love It.

Crochet and Lace


(Thrifted crochet top, H&M skirt and belt, Zara wedges & handbag)

Happy 80th Birthday to my beautiful grandma (her actual birthday is this Wednesday but everyone is available on Sunday so we all got together this morning for dim sum!)

P.s. I got this skirt for $7 during H&M's huge end of the season sale a few months ago(?) I had put it away and found it last night!

Stripes & Open Back



I've been seeing these open back tops every now and then lately and I really love them. They're perfect for sunny California and gives you that breeze on your back ;)

Beginner's Blonde



After a long two and a half years (I think) I finally went to get a hair cut. This time, to make it special since I am donating 10 inches of it + I wanted a new look to mark the beginning of a new chapter in my life, I did something new and different, I dyed it! I've only dyed my hair once and that was way back. Anyways, I am slowly transitioning into some blonde streaks so this is project #1 :)

Open In The Back







Went to the mall for an errand and ended up shopping, as usual. Finally got a pair of white jeans since the only pair I own are no longer friendly to the hips. And I've been eyeing these tops with the open back for the longest time & I finally found one that flatters me! I can't wait to wear it on Friday..

P.s. These wedges are divine except for the fact that they left me with cuts on the back of my heel :(
