    I’ve been MIA all last week mostly because work has been hectic and instead of editing photos and writing posts, I decided to put myself into a food coma every day after work. Not the best use of my time nor healthiest idea but I needed it. Food and shopping are my own forms of therapy. I need to work on that.

    Last weekend, (as in last last weekend), my Mom and I made a short drive to Irvine for a close friend’s party. While we were in that area, we decided to make a stop at Pascal Épicerie in Newport Beach. Me and my Mom? We’re like two peas in a pod. We have similar shopping habits like purchasing things we like in every color or pattern in comes in. Similar to shopping our food habits are the same. We like to try… everything 🙂

    Mobile Pic Mondays II

    So I intended to do this Mobile Pic Mondays series every Monday but obviously I didn’t. I realized that some weeks I’ll snap more photos than others so this will be more of an every other Monday series 🙂 We got our Verizon iPhone4s in early last week (on the 7th!! They were supposed to arrive the 10th!) so you’ll see a few fun photo  app pictures too…

    I was so bummed to find out that this cute iPhone 3 case I bought at Nordstroms didn’t fit my iPhone4…

    To this, I ask – why slowly?!

    Braised Pork with Hard Boiled Eggs – a Vietnamese dish called Thit Kho voi Trung. I made it for Vietnamese New Years Dinner because it’s supposedly good luck lol

    In Southern California – omg.

    My car that same morning – ICE!

    I went to my friend’s daughters 1st birthday this past weekend and they had the ever so popular and beloved Sprinkle’s Cupcakes

    Can I have a birthday cake like this for my birthday?! So cute!

    The party was Hello Kitty themed!

    What To Wear

    More Hello Kitty

    Another Hello Kitty top? Like many of my peers – I never got over my Sanrio phase. ever.

    These shots are actually old… like last month, old. I’d started a post but left it in my drafts and never got back to it until now. My hair was longer then and the weather was warmer – it’s Southern California and our winters can be 50 degrees one day and 80 the next.

    Some people may have noticed, others maybe not, that I have a mini (major) obsession with shoes… I don’t judge by their labels (who am I kidding, I <3 designer duds) I guess I should rephrase that. I have a growing collection of Christian Louboutins, Nicholas Kirkwoods,  Jimmy Choos, Miu Mius, Marc Jacobs, Stuart Weitzmans… the list goes on. At the same time, if I walk by Aldo, Cathy Jean or even Charlotte Russe and see a pair of cute shoes… I’ll buy them, too. You can find me perusing through Neiman’s shoe department and ten minutes later, digging in the roughs of Ross or Marshalls. To me, I love beautiful shoes, whether they’re expensive or not. I don’t judge… I just want them all 🙂

    I was hesitant about posting this outfit from the past weekend on EBEW mostly because I’d been wearing it a lot lately… a bit too much? After mulling it over for a day (making me late to post it there – as usual. What’s my problem!?!?) I decided to go for it. Otherwise, it would just sit in my “blog” folder forever. At least I styled it differently, right? 😛

    Leopard Hoodie

    Better late than never. I meant to post this look yesterday since I intended to do a post with red in my outfits every Friday (see my note on the right about Go Red for Women & Heart Disease Awareness?) but my day job kept me working overtime and I was exhausted by the time I got home from work. Thankfully, my husband foresaw my grumpiness and had dinner & a bottle of white wine ready as soon as I walked through the door. Love him.

    I mentioned it on twitter 😀 but he also ordered me my coveted Dany’s (in plum + grey) I can’t wait to get them in and blog them! He spoils me. I should come home grumpy more often ;p kidding.
