    Foodie Lifestyle What To Wear

    I purchased this blouse a month or so ago and have been really hesitant to wear it. Silk, though I love it, always makes me ultra paranoid but I bought it knowing this and relying on the fact that it’s black and hopefully won’t be as attracted to stains. Plus, I loved the simple shape and the delicate metal tips on the collar – they’re eye appealing without overpowering the entire look. My shorts were a Black Friday purchase (yep, as in pre-Christmas last year!!) and have been hanging in my closet, waiting to be worn. They’re so cute but for some reason, the occasion to wear them never presented itself until now. I had it hanging near this blouse so it just came together! I love the tiny pleats and sheer appearance; it balances the silk top perfectly.

    We had dinner at one of our favorite sushi restaurants, Sushi Roku in Pasadena. I took the plunge and tried uni for the first time. Though, I’ve enjoyed all sorts of strange, exotic foods, this one was not my cup of tea. It wasn’t terrible, but I’m just not a fan and probably wouldn’t order it again 😉 Everything else was delicious as always!

    What To Wear

    I hadn’t shopped at Old Navy in years, literally. The last time I bought anything there was long before I met my husband, so, 6+ years ago? Not that I have anything against it, I love killer deals as much as the next gal but I guess it just never really crossed my mind while out shopping. It wasn’t until last December while at a Christmas party, one of my friends was wearing this sweater under her cute leather biker jacket. I loved the sweater’s texture and the open knit. When she told me she got it at Old Navy, I was shocked. It didn’t look like an Old Navy sweater, in my opinion. Then she told me she got it for fifteen bucks – whoa, I had to get one (or three!) for myself. Well, I wasn’t so lucky with the deals. It was no longer on sale and at full price at all the local Old Navy’s and online. I wasn’t so excited about spending almost $40 for an Old Navy sweater. So, I bookmarked it and tried to forget about it. Well a couple of months later, it finally went on sale! I scored all three colors for under fifteen bucks each. Now, it’s even less, under $10! So of course, I bought a couple more as backup 🙂 LOL.

    By the way, how cute is my new airplane ring by Glint & Gleam from ShopLately? It’s like a 747 sitting on my finger! It’s so cute and I got tons of compliments on it – love a fun statement ring ;)!

    Lunch Break Lust List: Payday Edition

    Lunch Break Lust List - Payday Edition

    The best and scariest times of the month are always payday. Best because obviously, you get paid. Scariest because all your various online shopping carts are filled up just waiting, staring at you, asking to be purchased! Well, for me at least 😛 lol. These are some of my favorites that I’m currently debating on, including the affordable goodies and some splurges. Should I complete my transactions? Should I pass? Do I have self-control not to blow all my money the day I get it? *sigh* The story of my life hahaa 🙂

    What’s currently in your shopping carts?
