gold on black

Just received the virgie aldo boots today. The distress leather, zippers, and ankle length are just right. They are a little spacious so I'm going to have to wear some thick socks with them.


I also went to H&M this weekend and picked up some black wedges with gold lace holes.
I'll have to post pictures next time cuz my camera ran out of battery.

The Academy

I watched this year's Oscar in anticipation of seeing beautiful gowns, Jen Aniston, and Slumdog win Best Picture. I like Jen, despite the media always dumping down on her, or maybe it's in spite of that. Either way, she and John Mayer looked gorgeous. Love John's quote on Twitter:
"The problem I have with high style is that it's less about celebrating itself than it is about dismissing everything else."


The Oscars wasn't too boring this year though huh?
Highlights:
-John Legend singing with A.R. Rahman
-Kate Winslet & Dustin Lance Black's Acceptance Speeches
-The dude who balanced the Oscar off of his chin

gold & silver

Ringing in the new year with some bling...on my shoes.
Been eying these Stuart Weitzman for a while. I saw them at Nordstrom Rack for $140, but then decided to pass due to holiday spending. But then I found them for $40 cheaper online.



The same day, I bought these sigerson morrison for target pumps. I had a gift card and they were much cheaper than the s.w.!

Thanksgiving Vacation

Went to So Cal for Thanksgiving with my sister's family, mom, and grandma.

It was nice hanging out with my grandmama and hearing her talk so much!

Much thanks to my sis & ron for planning the trip. Everyone gained weight during this trip because of them! But no one is complaining......









Had Thanksgiving Dinner @ Fogo De Chao's in Beverly Hills












Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles!




Hsi Lai Temple - Hacienda Heights














More Food of course. Best Ramen to date!









Sister enjoying Pink's hot dogs.....







@ the grove, where I got to meet up with Daryl for some smoothies.

Santana Row

Nina turned 25 and her boyfriend, Rolo, threw her a nice lil surprise birthday dinner @ santana row.
Everyone played dress up, including the boys...who looked quite nice when they're all cleaned up.




me and zachary. he probably likes playing dress-up more than i do! =X heh

neiman marcus - last call!

it all started when i told my sister that sometimes @ the neiman marcus last call stores, they carry louboutins. she of course wanted to see it for herself. low and behold, we found a pair (but it wasn't very cute), but then there were other shoes to compensate! manolos, chloe, prada, gucci, and the list goes on....all in my size! they were all for under 400 and with an additional 20% off!

i considered these proenza schouler boots, but decided i shouldn't spend $200ish on myself during the holiday season.

then there were these robert clergerie shoes. marked down to under 150, and not including the 20% off.

i aslo wanted these beverly feldman booties. love the gold zippers! but passed on these too! i'm literally thinking about going back and getting the proenza schoulers? no, the clergerie.....sigh, i dunno.

and for kicks, here's ty trying on these d&g booties. she loved trying on all of the designer heels there. she was in heaven with me.

Earrings

I finally found a way to organize my earrings without having to take up vanity space. Best of all, it cost me $0. I just took extra shelf lining mat I had and stuck my earrings on there, and then hung it up.
