today i’m 24.

Friday, September 17th, 2010

that means in exactly one year i will be in my mid 20’s. kind of scary, i’ll admit. last night, i attempted a fishtail braid without looking in a mirror. not gonna lie, kind of proud of myself! then i went and bugged jimmy while he played video games.

my morning has gone off to a rough start and i’ve been feeling a bit emotional but after having a good cry, my husband comforting me, cheering me up and promising me an amazing birthday, i’m putting everything aside and am ready to enjoy my day with jimmy. we are going to disneyland in a few hours and are going to catch the world of color show, i can’t wait!

tomorrow i have work, then dinner with the fam. and sunday, i’m spending a day with my favorite girls back home. i am so excited to celebrate MY day and MY weekend! also, waking up and seeing 30+ comments from friends and family on facebook sure makes a girl feel loved :)

have a good weekend everyone!

bringing back the old…

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

So I have this little habit of taking outfit photos, uploading them, and forgetting about them, only to find them in a folder months later and realize that I hadn’t ever posted them. I’m sure this has happened to you ladies who post your outfits at least once, right? Or am I crazy? Even worse, it’s happened to me waaaay more than once, in fact I can say I have a handful of outfits that have yet to be shared on this blog. So I decided to go back and find all the old outfits I never posted, edit, and post them. Hopefully this can motivate me to brush up on my organization skills (or lack thereof). To make it more challenging, I promised myself I wouldn’t post any new outfits until I get these old ones posted and out of the way. I’ll still take outfit photos, but just save them until I’m done with the old ones. Good idea, or bad? If you have any suggestions let me know!

Anyway, this is the start of my old outfit series. I wore this to work during the holiday season last year (I wasn’t exaggerating when I said they were old!) To be honest, I’m not used to wearing such dark colors. I love my neutrals, but It’s not very often I’ll wear an outfit thats mostly all black or dark grey. I actually felt super comfortable in it, though! It was great to walk around in for 8 straight hours and the brogues with the tiny heel actually didn’t hurt one bit. Oh and after I took those pictures and saw that my socks were showing, I fixed it ;)


outfit details: shirt and dress pants are from F21, and brogues are thrifted. I later added on some accessories that aren’t pictured.

And can I just say that these pictures are making me miss my long hair SO much?! It needs to grow back faster! I’m a little more than half-way there though, so that’s encouraging.

Have a great weekend!

goodbye hair.

i chopped my hair off!

before:

and after!

here are some more:


^ new sunnies.

so what happened was, i won a free hair makeover through a raffle that was going on for all the employees of the mall i work at. i signed up for the raffle not knowing was it was for, only to get a call a few days later from the regis salon telling me that i won! i felt guilty because when i first found out, i didn’t even want to cut my hair or do anything to it. but i realized later that i’ve basically had long hair for a very long time now and i sort of felt like it was a comfort and security thing. i wanted to cut it off to prove that i can feel beautiful with short hair too. so i told them to cut it off, and i love it! my inspiration was ashley olsen and the lovely alexa chung,

i’m sure there will be times when i’ll miss my longer hair, but i’m loving this haircut so far and besides, my hair grows pretty fast anyway.
