.: slouchy glam :.

Gosh has it been that long since my last post? Life's been hectic, and I can't really complain :)
I went to an interview last week and while it was for a creative job, I dressed nicer than usual. It was in Venice area where everyone looks good without trying. I was so overdressed because everyone was dressed in what I call 'slouchy glam'. You know, messy bun, slouchy-oversized-off-the-shoulder-silky-blouses, skinny pants and envelope clutches. So I went back to my tiny suburbia and try the style :)

.: sail away :.

In my imaginary world, I can just put the sail up and go explore the ocean glamorously. In real life I would probably puke every few seconds and let's get real, those sails are heavy! I'd probably complained about the heat. So while keeping my imagination alive I'd just pretend to be glamorous on dry ground donning sailor-inspired outfits.

.: fawning over :.

In case you haven't noticed, I didn't get my 'blogger stance' down yet. Taking blog pictures in public places still makes me feel a bit apprehensive :) It's totally different when it comes to taking pictures of food, though... I'm sure you're familiar with this site. But have you seen this video? It's hilarious.

Anyway last weekend I got to take my fawn dress out for a walk. It's nice & chilly here in SoCal, just the way I like it. I'm very much drawn into fun print dresses these days. Can't wait until payday!

.: strawberry wafer :.

I like to mix my hobbies together and see what comes out of it. Sometimes I put together an outfit that will match my favorite scrapbooking kit (I know...) Or I mix something that reminds me of my favorite snack food. Like this combo of pink gingham and chocolate. Reminds me of this wafer blocks with strawberry cream that I used to eat when I was younger.

And everytime I look at the bubble necklace I just want to eat them. Somebody somewhere asked whether there's such thing as too much bubble necklace. They come in so many colors now and it seems that everybody in the blogosphere own more than one. That and the chain link bracelet. I guess J Crew know a thing or two about making trendy accessories :)

.: a walk in the park :.

The best thing about where we live now is that we are within a short walking distance to restaurants, the library, the park and grocery store. The bad thing is that we practically lives right next to my favorite frozen yogurt place. I see sugar high moments in a very near future...

.: saying goodbye :.

We're moving to a new home this weekend, our very first home! It's so very grown up of us. Moving is always bitter sweet for me, because there are some lovely things about our apartment that I'm going to miss.  I also said goodbye to a couple of my former favorite things, which is a bit sad. I'm very possessive over my things, but most of them are rarely used and probably the new owners will appreciate them more than me. That includes this bag. It's a very lovely bag with lots of nice details but it's too heavy for me. In the end I never use it. It got a new owner last weekend and she was very happy. Lucky gal.

.: second chance :.

I can never understand foldover skirts. Are they supposed to be doubled up as a tube dress? Tube top? Tube anything? Worn by a full figured gal like me it just add extra goodies around my rounded belly. If I wear a wrong top with it I'd look very bulky, and this is a safe combo for me. Cotton shirt always saves the day! Why did I buy it albeit all the complaints? Because of the color. Almost got rid of it last weekend, but the yellow is such a happy yellow, you know what I mean? No? Oh, okay...
