There's many festivals held around town in honor of The Lunary/Chinese New Year. One of them is held on one of the big streets in our city, Valley. I've been going for many years but as I get older it begins to lose it's excitement but I attended this year because my sister wanted to go. So I did and took Meeko along with us. Poor Meeko was so frightened the entire time, I'm guessing because he's never seen so many people in one area, surprisingly no one stepped on him.. the highlight of my afternoon was my cup of chocolate frozen yogurt filled with my usual/favorite toppings blueberries, strawberries, almonds and peanuts from Yogurtland!


More photos come because they're on my friend's Nikon DSLR camera!

Frozen Yogurt and Sushi

Sister's top, thrifted skirt, Sam Edelman clogs, F21, H&M rings

I worked from home today so I was able to pick up my sister from school. I've been craving Yogurtland like crazy so we stopped by before heading home. Mmm, chocolate! I didn't always love Yogurtland, in fact, I felt completely opposite but that's another story for another day.

Oh, and sis discovered this hidden sushi gem near by that we will begin to substitute fast food for every time we're hungry now! You can read all about it over at Yelp :)

Inspired Neutrals.

Photos of my outfit that I wore today to lunch with my family.
Sis normally hates taking photos of/for me but she did a great job today! Thx sis!
Some stills from the video I will be editing/posting up as soon as it's done.
I not only have to tie up my long almost Rapunzel hair to eat but I need to remove all jewelry too. Knuckle rings and statement necklaces aren't exactly easy to pig out with.
Meeko is finally beginning to pick up potty training :)
He hasn't made a boo boo in the garage!
I have to search for a steady indoor crate/play pen for him so I can put him in the house as soon as he gets his manhood taken away :(
A beautiful street that I will return to take photos at and of.

Sis and I did not do the usual American shopping, take a look below.

Motherly Monday.

I was sick with the cold a week ago and last night I fought the cold, again, but this time I won. Still, my work recommended that I stay home and rest for the rest of the week so I got dressed and went along with my mother's plans. We first went to join in my dad's luncheon with his childhood classmates. It was pretty amazing looking at old wrinkled b&w laminated photos of my dad when he was a kid, completely unrecognizable. After, we went to run a few errands such as picking up my sister from school and dropping her off at home. We went to the mall to redeem our free panties from VS and used up the "City Cash" from New York & Company that mom got when she purchased this poncho/cape for me for my birthday. I absolutely love love love it, so fun wearing it today. It will be one of the much loved items in my closet.

I filmed a lot today, (thank you mom!) so I will be making a OOTD video on my YouTube of course, stay tuned! xo
