Vasquez Does Indeed Rock

On Saturday some friends and I decided to go hiking and geo-caching at Vasquez Rock.

Basically Geo-Caching is like treasure hunting with a GPS except it's not like pirate treasure but random little toys and fun things that people put together and hide.

I had fun. That's kind of an understatement being that at one point I decided to run down a hill and it was just so freeing I just had to laugh out of simple joy. From then on I went down every hill with a huge smile on my face, giggling because nothing could stop me.




Can't believe tomorrow is December 1st. Where did the year go?

Great and Bad



Natalie Portman on the cover of this month's V Magazine.

I actually feel very out of the loop since I just not found out about this. I hope it's still in stores because I do love Natalie Portman.

And for a week old story: "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" - Kate Moss


HILARIOUS. How about some fresh baked brownies?

madewell

I can't stop obsessing about Madewell. I realized today, after changing outfits 3 times and finally putting on my typical 'go-to' pieces, that I love Madewell. Thus if you're thinking about Birthday/Christmas presents, I would very much appreciate some Madewell gift cards.



(The image above is from last winter's collection at Madewell)


The other day my mom and I went shopping around Pasadena and made a stop at the Kate Spade store where I came across this awesome hair pin. It was just as adorable in person but then I came across the same little bow on a pair of stud earrings. I was absolutely taken and irresponsibly bought them. I haven't worn them yet but I promise you, as long as I'm doing anything slightly holiday related, I will be sporting them with a giant smile on my face.


Aside from my spending and shopping habits, I must say life is grand.

-I enjoy my part time design job at Twirls and Twigs.
-I very much enjoy meeting with my Garden Community Group.
-I can't wait to feast on a giant Thanksgiving meal with the Wu's followed by a 2nd meal with my own family.
-I can't wait to see what else God has planned for me

Kate Spade

When did I begin to love Kate Spade so much?

I guess it's when I decided that I couldn't deny my love for bows and all things slightly kitschy without being tacky.

Anyway...



I heart bows and I heart Christmas. This is kind of the best of both worlds.

For 45$...it's ridiculous but if I'm having a bad day I just might have to splurge lol

Also another one of my fashion loves is Madewell. I finally found time to go to their Denim Night Out events and it was pretty fun. Free snacks and drinks, a DJ, really helpful sales associates, and great deals.

I want this bicycle...


so pretty.

Rodarte for Target

Rodarte for Target is officially a go and for once I'm going to make an effort to go out to Target to see the small collection.

I got the latest Teen Vogue in the mail today with a very pretty looking Dakota Fanning on the cover. In it, teen blogger Tavi is wearing a piece from the Rodarte for Target collection and through out the magazine are other pieces from the collection. I kind of want a pretty dress for 40$. I just need a place to wear it to.

In other news, I spent the day in beautiful Ojai, CA on a ranch with the people of Right Bank Babies helping out with the Fall/Winter photoshoot. It was tons of fun, too bad no one has the funds to hire me :/

so cute

Found these shoes at Nordstroms the other day



KATE SPADE


The pictures does not do it justice, it's a little bit more pink and really sparkly.

When did I become such a girl.
