Girls' Night!

Don't cha just love these Dolce Vita suede glitter platforms?? Guess where I got them from?? Ross. $25 baby!! Yep, I scored. I swear downtown Ross has the best shoes.

I was a little hesitant to buy them at first cause there so high (and make me look 6ft tall) but I couldn't resist these red beauties. In fact I was on a hunt for shoes just like these except with no glitter heels (although glitter heels seem to be popular these days). But, common when will I come across DV heels like this for $25?

Anyway, I wore these past Friday night when I had a little girl's night out. I thought I would die in these but surprisingly they were pretty comfy. I managed to dance in them till 2am until my feet started hurting. Pretty good for 5 inch heels. Should of taken a pic of my outfit but barely took any pics that night (we were having too much fun hehe). Girls' night was a blast and def was able to release some steam/stress through dancing :)

I heart my girls..

Super Bowl Sunday = Perfect day to go shopping

So of course like any other girl, I really wasn't too thrilled about Super Bowl Sunday. The only thing I really cared to see was Madonna's performance (which she rocked!). Russ decided to do a little Super Bowl party at our place which was my cue to leave.. actually I could of stayed but I really didn't want to. So what did I decide to do instead? Of course, hit the mall. And perfect day to go to the mall it was indeed! No crowds & easy parking! Went to F21 and saw this cute bow top for only $8.80.. I didn't buy it though cause my new rule in shopping is only buy it if you love it not like it :) Go me! Hey, I got a wedding to save up for! Anyways, after aimlessly walking around the mall I was ready to go back home even though I know the Super Bowl was still going on. At least there food ready by the time I got back haha. It was a Chamorro feast! I've never actually had Chamorro food but Russ' friend is from Guam and made red rice, some rib type of dish and like a beef poke type thing? Honestly, the beef poke looked not so pleasant esp after I heard it starts off raw and just soaked in like vinegar and all types of citrus which I guess cooks it??? Yeah I was confused but Russ forced me to try it and I loved it! My fav though was the red rice... I have no clue how to make it but it was good!! Who knew I would like Chamorro food right?



red rice

beef poke??

Chef Russ cooking up his specialty.. ok I lied it's from Whole Foods.

Ok so maybe Super Bowl Sunday wasn't so bad after all :P

Why is everything I want out of stock???

I really want this Deena & Ozzy moto satchel from UO but in black :( Unfortunately, they're all out of stock except for gray. Don't get me wrong, I love the color gray but I have another satchel in similar color. Boo, what is a girl to do? Wait for the black to come in... not sure if it even will?? or just order it in gray. I love the style and shape of this bag so much I might just have to. Seriously, I've been on a hunt for finding the perfect bag for several months now and when I finally find one, it's out of stock!!! grr. And guess what?? So are these...


Damn you UO!!

Happy 2012!

New Year's for me in one word? Epic. No need for explanation.. just pictures :) Pure Coalition NYE 2012 party feat Myon (& no Shane54) Russ & his boys :)

Best New Year's yet! ♥
New Year's Day with the fambam
I have a feeling 2012 will be a good year...

Happy Birthday Carina!

Today we celebrated my sister's 23rd birthday at Jade Dynasty in the Ala Moana Shopping Center. I can't believe she's already 23.. it makes me feel old!! Oh gosh.. to think that I'm turning 26 next year scares the bejeezus out of me. So dinner didn't go as expected.. but when do our family dinners ever do? For some reason my family likes to come here for special occasions or birthdays. But their Chinese food is pretty good.

We ordered our favorite dishes... honey walnut shrimp, peking duck and black bean lobster to name a few.

My dad makes a better black bean sauce though :P I also ordered a variety of cupcakes from Cake Couture. There were actually 8 but was too lazy to take a pic of the other box :P

You know up until this point, my fav cupcake place was Hokulani's but now I think it's a tie between them and Cake Couture. I definitely like the local flavors of Hokulani.. but I also like the upscaleyness of Cake Couture. Both cakes are moist and rich in flavor. Frostings are a little different but I feel like both are an epitome of what a cupcake should be. It's a hard pick.. so I can't really decide. But def would say Cake Couture presentation is much more elegant and fancy looking. I didn't get to try all the flavors but the pumpkin and pb&j really tasted like pumpkin and pb&j. Mmm.. I think I'm craving for it again...

Oh and this is me and my obaachan<3 Isn't she cute?

Anyways, go visit my sister! She has an awesome make-up blog :D

Let Them Eat Cupcakes!

Babysat tonight and a had box of Let Them Eat Cupcakes (35 S Beretania) lying around for me and their daughter to eat :D Of course I didn't want to be a piggy and eat all of them... although I really wanted to take a bite out of each one of them so I could get a taste of them all :X But I decided to share one cupcake with the little 3 year old. She picked out the one with the strawberry drizzled type jelly on top of the cream. Good choice because it turned out to be PB&J.. which for those who don't know.. is like my favorite sandwich and could literally eat that everyday. I knew right away that it was a PB&J cause it simply tasted like one :D It wasn't too intense and had just the right amount of sweetness!

I hate packing.

So I decided that I want to start blogging again.  Yes I've been MIA! But now I'm going to make it a goal to blog everyday... well *almost* everyday :)  Might be a lot of random postings...

Anyways, this month has been a pretty busy month for me.  Not only did 2 of my besties come to visit, I also had to apartment hunt with Russpoo since our lease is up at the end of this month and he doesn't want to stay at our place =( I on the other hand wouldn't mind staying where we're at but I guess this area is too "noisy" for him.  Funny how we are so opposite sometimes... like I can sleep through anything.  There could be like a fire alarm going on and I would be sleeping like a baby.  Russ can't stand a sound of like a car passing by on the streets!

Well we luckily found a place and will be moving out by this Thursday!  So yesterday was packing day for us since it was like the only time where both Russ and I had off.  We literally were packing from 10 in the morn till 10 at night......... I wanted to die.  My clothes alone took up 3 LARGE boxes.  Why must I be such a clothes hoarder?  That's another thing Russ and I are opposite in is that I tend to want to keep everything and he's like a minimalist.. only keeps what he really needs.  I wish I could be like that but I'm too attached to my things!  Russ always makes fun of me saying that I should be on the show Hoarders...

We took a little lunch break and hit up our fav Mexican spot.. Los Chaparros!  I def needed a drink and ordered a strawberry daiquiri <3

Food is awesome here! We always order the Chingalingas (oops sorry forgot to take a pic) which is pretty much like a fried wrap.  So good!  I also ordered a Chimichanga which up until this point I had no idea what a Chimichanga was!  But boy was it good....

By the end of the night we were able to get most of the things packed up into boxes.  I was beyond exhausted!!  Apartment... I will miss thee...
