Costa Rica

Last week my friend & I went to Costa Rica for a week to stay with her friends family. What an experience! I had a great time and experienced things that I have never experienced before. Costa Rica is such a beautiful country! The rain forests, wildlife, beautiful beaches, amazing food and the wonderful people we met.

Coming home I was very appreciative and grateful for what I have. It was an eye opener to how other countries live in the world and whats really important in life and whats not.

Pura Vida! (Pure Life)

(The tree reminded me of Avatar...lol)

What I'm Listening To

I'm always late when it comes to new albums/artist/songs but...

I'm FEELIN' the new Alicia Keys album. The woman did it again!

I love her and her music is beautiful.

"I use to feel kinda lonely

Cause the world can be so fake

All that matters is I'm telling you

Is you and me only

And the fortress of love me make

I'll be the water you need in the desert land

Just to let you know you'll always have my hand

I'll be the woman you need to be a better man

So you'll always know

Through the shake of an earthquake

I will never fall

That's how strong my love is

Like a ship through the storm we can risk it all

That's how strong my love is"

New Year / New Color

Up until last Monday I have had the same color of hair my whole entire life. I loved being a medium brown/blonde but I wanted to try something different for the new year so I decided to go dark. The result ended up being very dark and it took me a few days to get use to my new hair color but I am really enjoying it now! :)

New Years Eve

I celebrated my NYE with my two girlfriends Kathryn and Taran. We started the night off at my house pre-funking, listening to some jams and taking a few flicks. Later on we headed off to a party to celebrate the countdown with a few friends.

Happy New Year!

Weekend Fun

On the weekend me and my girl Kathy went out to a nice spot downtown for a friends birthday. We had a blast. Good music, a few glasses of wine and a couple cuties to look at will often do the trick. I wore everything vintage. My whole outfit cost less than $15!

{Happy Birthday!}

I want. I need.

A-Morir Shades

Melody Eshani Ring

Acne Booties

I love anything bold and unique.

Designer Spotlight: DimePiece

Cassie for DimePiece Designs.

I freaking love their stuff! Their pieces are original and their graphic tee's are SICK. I've been following their Myspace pages and blogs for a few years now and I still can't get enough. I like supporting up and coming designers so I've bought a few pieces from their collections.

Feeling Creative

I haven't touched my sewing machine in over a month... But that is all going to change! This weekend I'm pulling the bad boy out and we are going to get reacquainted again.

Current Obsessions

Adding accessories onto your heels or boots dramatically changes your look from simple to cool/edgy.

Love the idea. I'll be trying this :)

Happy Black Friday

I love a good ol' sale and today is the day. American Black Friday Sale and I am all over that. I spent my morning at work surfing the net trying to find a good deal. I ended up purchasing a couple shirts from Dime Piece Designs in LA. I aboustley love their pieces! Can't wait to recieve my package in the mail! :)

{My Purchases}

Hot or Not?

Rihanna wore this racy bodysuit with spiky shoulders during her performance at the AMA's.
I'm not too sure what to think of it... It just looks akward.
All I want to know is how was she able to perform with no panties on?!? lol

Chanel Iman

Model Chanel Iman.

I LOVE THESE LOOKS! But not so much her hair...

My latest obessions: leather, lace and chains :)

Weekend Fun

This past weekend me, My Mum and My girl Kathy drove down to visit my Sissy in Tacoma. I love visiting my Sis and her family. We always have so much fun.. shopping, eating, going clubbing, drinking, more eating and most importantly we get to spend time together*

The past few years I've always gone to Joann's with my Mum and Sis who are big scrapbookers and I was never interested in buying or looking. BUT I couldn't leave the store this time! I found so many nice things and at a cheaper price than what it would be at home. Joann's is definitely one of my favorite stores now! :)

My attempt to make a purse...

My first purse... I've been putting off sewing together this purse for a couple weeks but I finally managed to do it and it turned out pretty horrible. It's very shapeless, has no padding to make it stiff and the lining is kinda ripping. I'll still rock it but next time it'll be better!

Halloween!

For Halloween I decided to go as a French Maid. Last year I bought a cheap French Maid costume at Target or somewhere for about $5.00. I revamped the costume by taking it in, adding lace, ribbon and a few ruffles.
